HEARD ABOUT TOWN

commensurate with the length of his

was the fact that Monday was legal

If the republican party will
"get together" nominate a first
class man who is not allied with
any of the factions and one in
whom the people have confidence,
and adopt and stand up manfully
for a platform which includes a
positive declaration in favor of
local option, it can elect the next
governor of Minnesota as easy as
you can turn over your hand.

1t takes whole lot of Christian
charity to feel kindly toward the
man who, under the guise of the
law, has skinned you to a finish.

AS TO PARTY FfAITY

evidently one not easily settled.
Some hold to the idea that man
should stick to his party right OF
wrong and that he can do nothing
outside party lines to right wrongs
inside the party; many others believe
in voting for clean men of opposite
faith in preference to bad men or
methods inside their own party.
In Minnesota, during the past few
years, the latter class has been in
the majority. In the last state
election republicans elected dem
ocratic governor by $4,000 plura-
lily. In the last national cleo
ton there were thousands upon
thousands of Roosevelt democrats.
The Cannon Falls Beacon and the
Browns Valley Tribune have of late
been defending the hold-your-nose-
and swallow whatever the party
|gives-you idea, taking as their text
an editorial paragraph from The
Herald. Both the above named
publishers are honest and fearless
and print mighty fine newspapers.
But they are no more honest or fear
less than are those composing the
other class. AT present the repub-
lican party III Minnesota is ruled by
an Office holding coterie who place
self above the public veal; they
brought defeat to the party in 1904
and 1906 and if they do not change
thier tactics history will repeat itself
in 1908. Minnesota republicans can
win next year but there must be
change of policy. IfBros. Apple
gate and Gordon can reform the
party by voting as they have done
in the past none will rejoice more
heartily than The Herald.
Dollar wheat appears to be one of
the seasons probabilities.
Now let everybody boost to
make the county fair a success.
