The new code dropped it's CHS"
and therefore Hennepin, Hubbard and
Houston counties are off the map, so
to speak. The Fairmont Independent
very reasonably suggests that we hold
our state election before Hennepin gets
back. The question naturally arises:

c. A. Smith May Want Knute's Scalp.
| Some of the republicans who knitted
the state ticket two years ago are
working overtime in their efforts to
convince Senator Knute Nelson that
the DOGGY man will get him if he
doesn't look out. At the same time
they are assuring him of their own
undying loyalty to our senior senator.
Knute should "beware of the Greeks

| Doodle Was Also An Issue.
| Without much regard for party lines
the proposition to make state develop
ment a republican issue is meeting
with favor. Not, perhaps, because the
idea is a new one, for every republican
platform for the past fifty years has
breathed that principle, but because in
the last campaign state development
and every other issue was lost sight

! Everybody Root for Duluth.
The republican state central COM
mittee has been called to meet in St.
Paul April 3 to decide upon date for
the state convention. 1t is thought
the time will be early in June and
there will be a scramble between Du-
luth and the twin cities for the con-
vention. It would be matter of
pleasure and education for the dele
gates to meet in Duluth, and a matter
of justice to northern Minnesota to
have the convention. Everybody

Where They Can Cool Off.
The republican state committee will
meet at St. Paul on Tuesday, April 3.
The early meeting of the committee,
will, without doubt, mean an early
convention. The place of holding the
convention is to be decided at this
meeting and will be no small task. st.
Paul has always been the convention
city, but Minneapolis and Duluth are
both bidding for it this year, with the
odds in favor of Duluth. The latter
city would be good place to hold
the convention, if for no other reason
than the close proximity of the lake
where hot-headed politicians could go
down and jump in and cool Off
