POLITICAL MATTERS
DR.. J. A. Du BOiS Voices his Opinion
Relatives to the Denver Con-
yentiOn.

DR.. ]. A. Du Bois of this city, one
Of the most prominent and well
known democrats in Minnesota, and
a gentleman whose opinions are al
ways entitled to great weight, both on
professional and other subjects, has
prepared the following for publication
in the st. Cloud Times in response
to a request from its editor, and also
handed copy to The Herald.
''The position now occupied by the
democratic party is the one which
many of us have for a long time be-
lieved to be the inevitable one. Mr..
Bryan is the leader, not by reason of
any astute political management, but
because he represents best the senti-
ment and opinions of the majority
OF democratic thinkers and voters.
The convention at Denver was a pop
ular convention, and the platform
there adopted is plain statement
of modern democratic principles.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1908-08-13

There is no ambiguity of expression.
Thus the political atmosphere has
been wonderfully cleared, and the
duty Of the ordinary voter made plain.
Whether residing in Old Stearns
or elsewhere the nominal Democrat who
hates Bryan, and, as a natural conse-
quence, the principles for which he
stands, should not vote for him. He
cannot afford to stultify himself in
that fashion. If he cannot consist
emily vote the republican ticket, he
can make use of his right not to vote
at all. By the same token there
are thousands of republicans who
should vote the democratic ticket.
.I believe the national elections of
1908 will be decided by a large mass
of voters who are not partisan. but
whose sole desire is to cast an
honest, intelligent aad conscientious
ballot"

JAKE and The AUTO
Comment on the Republican Can
didate's Proposed Campaign
Methods

]. F. Jacobson is going to maxi
the gubernatorial race in an auto
mobile. 1t is predicted that the wa.
he will run for office will leave, hin
liable to arrest for speed madness
All other political vehicles will d.
well to keep close to the edge of tn,
road, while he goes by.-Duluth News
Tribune
The announcement that J. F. ia
cobson will make his campaign fo
governor by touring through th'
state in an automobile, will be {
source of qualification to other small
candidates and machine agents. Their
has been a good deal of hesitation
on the part of candidates in using
automobiles on account of the pref
udice against them. Now that Jake
is going to use one it puts the auto.
mobile in the same class as the table
ife.-Fergus Falls Journal.
Mr.. Jacobson takes the position
that as the campaign this year viii
be conducted upon very economical
basis and as special trains are cost
ly the automobile is the only vehicle
which can be employed in making
the itinerary he is contemplating. Thel
is no doubt but that the masses vii
accept this statement and when he il
in their midst will forget all abou
the automobile in listening to his
lucid and entertaining manner of IL
Illuminating the questions confronting
tie people in the present nationa
and state campaign. The people viii
undoubtedly give more thought te
the people who accompany Jake thL
summer and fall, than they will te
the manner of his progress. They
may have something to say abou
whom he selects for his chauffeur
and also where he gets his grease tt
keep the machine going.-Crookstor

In the evening there will be spec
ial evangelistic service led by DR.. Long

has been wiped out are waiting in
joyous anticipation for the dedica
tory service.

dobles were good matches, well play
ed and close.
Two singles were played. Brown
winning from Schafer and Strebel de-

THOUGHT MOLD[RS
Publishers Along Branch Line Form
Association
MEET AT PARK RAPIDS
Great Northern Editorial Association
Formed With Rudolph Lee as
President

Publishers of newspapers in towns
on the Great Northern branch line
met at Park Rapids last Saturday
night and formed what is to be
known as the Great Northern Edi-
torial Association. Rudolph Lee, oi
Long Prairie, was elected president
j. D. Haradon, of Park Rapids, vice
president, and l. J. Courtright, of Ber-
thj y secretary. An executive com.
mittee was chosen consisting of A
M. Page, of Park Rapids, c. F. Scheers
of Akeley, H. M. Henderson, of
Verndale, together with the presi-
dent and secretary of the organiza-
ton.
The newspapers along the line were
we'll represented and the gathering
was both pleasant and profitable. AT
the close of the meeting and on Sum
day the visiting newspaper men were
the guests of the Park Rapids pub
fishers at an informal banquet at
the Stone club house. The attractions
of the resort were greatly enjoyed
by the publishers present.
Secretary Courtright, who spent an
hour or more in Sauk Centre on Tues
day of this week, outlined the work
OF the association, saying that it was
the intention to include in the mem
bership every publisher along the
line of the Park Rapids branch and
will pay every newspaper man in the
to make it an organization that 1t
territory included, to be member
While it is not the intention to sup
plant the state editorial association
yet it is believed that the new Or
ganization will offer better facilities
for social intercourse and for fur
thering the objects which interest the
publishers in this region >
A meeting of the association is to
be held at some central point some
time in the fall, at which plans for
the organization will be completed
1t is expected that there will be a
full representation at this gathering
Among the plans on foot is summer
outing in Itasca state park, which will
be a delightful feature.
1t will also be the purpose of the
association to thoroughly advertise
the region traversed by the Great
Northern branch line 1t is believed
that the railroad company will be
glad to cooperate in this part of the
work.

"BOES' ON A TOUR
They Crowd the Freight Trains and
Ride Free In Side-D00r Pull
mans"

The "side-door pullman is popu-
lar method of travel these days.
Nearly every freight train that
passes through here on the Great
Northern road has a good supply OF
passengers who toll not nor spin, nor
do they pay fare. And, continuing
the scripture wording, Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these"
Tuesdays local westbound freight
had full complement of passengers
of this nature. Fifty or more of
them rode in box cars or on flat
cars. Happy-go-lucky, care free and
careless, the only motive that seem
ed to actuate them being a desire
to go overland without cost and with
out work.
Part of them were "coons," whose
glistening teeth and the whites of
whose eyes told the story of a vaga-
bond, careless life.
During the wait of the train here
some of them alighted long enough
to get a drink at the pump in Chas.
Browns yard across the street from
the railroad track. Two were a little
late and as the train began to pull
out they passed up the chance to
wet their throats with water and
ran to get aboard. The dead sol
ers' lying around on the floors of
the freight cars told the story as to
what kind of liquid is most popular
among this | class of passengers
for thirst quenchers.
These fellows don't care to work
At Melrose one morning recently a
gang of thirty or so asked the yard
master to get them breakfast. He
told them he could get them a job
in the quarries, but they said: NAY
nav Pauline"
Nearly every freight train that pass
es through here carries its quota Of
passengers of this nature. The dele
cation on Tuesday mornings freight
is simply a sample load.
The train men are simply helpless
in the face of crowd of "boes. u
Thew cannot do anything. AS brake
man said to The Herald: "We CAM
help ourselves. If We, try to put
them off they laugh and dare us to
do anything. If we were to try tG
clean them out they would throw us
Off and take charge of the train
So the best thing we can do is not
to molest them"

The gun club shoot held here last

While the attendance was not as
large as was expected, yet there were
a goodly number of marksmen or
hand and the scores made were sat

Messrs. L. E., Heifner and Franz
Carr had charge of the affair and its
success is due largely to their un.

stay pleasant and agreeable. All wen

to come, and emphasizing the fac
that Sauk Centre is a good town te
come to and that the hospitality OF
the local sportsmen was second te
none.
The two professional marksmen, Ak
ard and Trent, gave exhibitions OF
their skill before the admiring spec.
tators. The way those fellows shoot
is something wonderful.
Two of the local marksmen, who
participated in the contest, namely
Heifner and Carr, made excellent re.
cords, the former being credited witt
1863 and the latter with 1872 hits out
of a possible 200. But three contes
tants had higher scores than Heifner
namely Trent with 1874, Guptill with
1s5 and Quin with 174. Trent par.
