Wilson O. Hughes

condescend to Doodle campaign. He
is head and shoulders above Frank Eddy
as statesman and public benefactor,
and receives more favorable comments
from the press than both Eddy and
Jacobson combined, and his services in
the legislature were greatly appreciated
by his district. Mr.. Cole showed good
sense in not inaugurating his campaign
until next month as there will be plenty
of time for the people to hear his speaker
before the votes are cast in November,
and it is safe to say that men like MIR.
Eddy, who are bowling ferociously be-
cause Mr.. Cole is not making fool Of
himself in hot summer months, will
be surprised at the great tidal wave,
which will sweep the state for Gov.
Cole this fall, and then Mr.. Eddy
would like to get on the band wagon
but will not have the chance, like a
number of other Jacobson sore heads.
In all candor, we think Mary Nc
Fadden of the News Tribune, made a
grave mistake when she called Eddy's
sheet the state paper OF the party. 1t
should be designated by every fair
minded republican as the state kicker
and buffer, unworthy of the recogni-
ton of any loyal republican paper.
BY his last editorial Mr.. Eddy shows
that at heart he is with the Demo-
cratic party, and would like to see
Cole defeated, but his hopes in that
direction will never be realized, as
Mr.. Cole will be heartily welcomed by
the people of Minnesota.
ALI the opposition of such men as
Eddy and other political sore heads
will only help to swell the big vote for
Cole. The only thing Mr.. Eddy ever
did for congress was to draw his salary
and vote yes or no, and we are sur
prised at the nerve he showed in prais-
ing himself in his own paper. There
is plenty OF room in Sank Centre for a
good, staunch republican paper, and
we are sure there are many republicans
in that beautiful city who would hail
with delight, the establishment of
paper that would truly and ably re-
fleet their principles, as they have no
use for sore heads. IT Jacobson had
been nominated we would have been
pleased to accord that gentleman fair
and honorable treatment as would
every other republican paper in the
state, and it would have been a shame
and disgrace to viciously attack that
gentleman and his leaders like Eddy
wages warfare on Cole and his leaders.
Jacobson was fairly, defeated by Mr..
Cole in Duluth, and it would look far
better for Eddy, and his hirelings to
take their medicine like men, and not
act like the dog in the manger. By
taking that course they would have
won the esteem of the Republicans OF
the state instead of the silent contempt
in which they are now held by all
fair minded men.
The Scriptures saith: "Woe unto
you when all men shall speak we'll OF
you" And we have been receiving so
many flattering comments and COM
plimentary notices that we had begun
to worry for fear that we would fall
under the ban. There is no question
but that the Advocate has removed
this apprehension. The fact that this
paper is edited by two charming
women instead of men does not alter
the case, for in scriptural sense, and
in other senses, the men embrace the
women. We thank the Lake County
Advocate.
