while 1882 of the same sex desire IT,
Is it a fact that the majority Of the
women are not clamering for suffrage?"
That's a mighty formidable minority
and the figures will be reversed within
the next Eve years. All Women who
give the matter any honest attention
are convinced of the right OF women to
vote. And more and more women are
giving it honest attention.
LEROY independent: The bachelors
and widows failed to get together IN
sufficient number to make the proposed
picnic a go and the thing has been
abandoned. Tne meeting Monday
evening brought out only six and these
decided that they would let matters
drop. if so little interest was shown.
It's too bad, for the picnic would have
made fun for big crowd and would ::
have advertised Leroy throughout the I,
whole state.
Caledonia Journal: It is no personal
matter with the Caledonia journal,
but Mr.. Tawney has played his double
politics so long that we have become
absolutely disgusted with his highland
ed duplicity.
Blue Earth Post: DR.. Force, sent
to prison from Hennepln county for
grand larceny, has been paroled and is
out from behind prison doors. The
interest manifested in his behalf by i
| influential friends and former business ;
associates in Minneapolis, in some
| instances more guilty than the doctor,
brought about his release. Had he
been common horse thief instead OF !
the possessor of many thousands of
stolen funds, his pardon would have
never been thought OF.
Winnebago Press-News: Jim
Tawney, Congressman from the First
district, favored one new battleship
instead OF four as recommended by
the President. MIR. Tawney is a very
saving person when it comes down to
providing naval defenses, but liberal
when the coin goes in to the pockets Of
the big corporations. They are after
Congressman Jim hard and it looks
very much as if the time had arrived
to take his scalp, as a majority OF his
constituents believe he has outllved
his usefulness.
St. Peter Herald: Friends Of Con
gressman Tawney declare that he is In
this as one reason why he should be
re- elected. Tawney will never be given
the speakership, but if he were it
would be a positive detriment to the
/ state. He has shown that he is not
above petty jealousy, and if he were
. placed in the speakers chair his COL
, leagues would receive little considera-
tion when the committees were made
oo fo ~ of Wn0V'2
appointments would ruin the useful
ness of the Minnesota delegation.
Albert Lea Tribune: We cannot
! help inquiring whether or not congress
a man Tawney has taken the trouble to
g learn something of the conditions in
. this district from others than his i'm
:. mediate circle of friends, who are
beneficiaries of his bounty. 1t is not
y always safe to rely on information
- given by interested friends, who, be
:. they ever so brave-and we must
l. except the office holder, for he is never
IS morally brave-will temper the story
h to suit the known desire of theil
. patron.
