Why Is Williams a Candidate?


We deeply sympathize with the Trib-

thing which he isn't it must agree to
call him so itself and not remark that
some people say such things about
Jones, when some people are not say
ing anything of the kind. Nor is it
necessary to base peace on non seoul

moral comparison between being favor
able to municipal ownership and being
favorable to ENCOURAGEMENT. of the
laws. We are glad to hear from the
Tribune that Williams and Jones are
on the same platform as far as law en-
forcement is concerned, and if the su.
periority of the two men is to tried out
on other issues entirely, why so much
the better.

Crookston, Mimi, Aug. IA 500
surveying crew passed thru the city

Inquiries as to the work they were do
ing procured no information. It is
known, however, that it was in the en-

been for the last week working in a
district from one to twenty miles from
Crookston. The road at present. is only
twenty three miles east of the city, and
it would take little. work for it to
enter.
Considerable sentiment exists that
Crookston is Great Northern city and
that competitive road would have
little show for business, but other SEN

of the 500 would mean considerable for
the city and it's development and
would make Crookston the leading rail-
