In the congressional campaign in the
sixth it is conceded by even the Buck
man supporters that Mr. Lindbergh is
not supported by any special interests,
and it is an acknowledged fact that
there are no special interests which
have any motive in supporting him.
When candidate is favored bv
the interests it is because they
are interested in his election. FL
nancially interested because they
exnect favors from him IS
an official which will insure private
profit and advancement. MIR. Buck
mans support, on the other hand, is
principally from two classes. First,
the pcstmasters who owe their ap.
pointments to him, and second, tbs
lumbermen. The enorm JUS profits
acciuing from that business under the
present regime are we'll illustrated By
Mr. James A. Nichols of Little Falls,
Mr.. Buckman's campaign manager
Mr.. Nichols was formerly farmer
and cruiser, liked and respected by all
who know him. He was elected audi
tor of Morrison county at "a salary of
twelve hundred dollars year. he
made good official and served faith
fully until January 20. 1900, when he
resigned, having attracted the atten-
tion Of Thomas Shevlin, the Minneapo-
lis lumberman and having received a
aattering proposition to enter the
logging and lumber business With
him. Mr.. Nichols at that time was
supposed to be worth about i've thou
sand dollars which be had accumu-
lated by a life. time Of work and
economy. The Nichols Lumber Com
pany was formed, the principal
owner being Mr.. Shevlin. MI.
Nichols is now man Of large wealth
reputed to be the owner Of the Com
monwealth Lumber Co. engaged in
building logging railroad, and
other enterprises all requiring CAPT
tai and high financial standing.
No wonder he is willing to sacrifice
valuable time to manage the campaign
Of man who believes in the con-
tlnuance Of the conditi ons which have
transformed him in a few years from
a poorly paid official TO a financial
magnate, when he reflects how much
labor and self sacrifice it took to
accumulate his little fortune CT six
years ago and how trifing that for
tune now seems to him. No wonder
the other lumber men are supporting
Mr.. Buchanan. Few men are so
unselfsh that they can see the do
merits of system which ills their own
pockets albeit at the expense Of the
public. The question is, who is to
win. the people or the interests2
Todd County Argus, July 20, 1905 :
When he was here last week Congress-
man Buchanan established himself in
an upper room in Hotel Reichert and
was quietly visited by his trusted
henchmen here. It is likely that it
was arranged that Mr.. Lee should
have the privilege of saying who shall
eli the various Offices in the county in
the gift of a congressman and in turn
the county was promised to him. Mr..
Buckman was seen but very little on
the streets of our village, as he appar-
emily considered it sufficient to see the
wire pullers, trusting to them to tell
the people how to vote. .-- -

who is candidate for the republican
nomination against Buckman, was
also here last week. He is a frank
and open hearted gentleman and was
out at an early hour visiting business
houses and workshops, giving them a
hearty hand shake and telling them in
his impressive way his business. The
people seemed pleased to meet this
earnest and energetic gentleman and
feel they can vote for such man with
a clear conscience. They believe he
would be credit to the district and to
