Republicans Are Urged to Work
And Vote For Nominee.
HE IS NEEDED IN CONGRESS
Blue Earth County Committee Sends
Letter to Members Of Party,
Reasons for His Election.

The republican county committee is
making gallant stand for the election
of James T. McCleary to congress.
Letters have been sent to voters in
the county urging them to work and
vote for Mr.. McCleary. The letter
reads as follows:
"Mankato, Mimi, Oct. %, 1905
The Blue Earth county republican com.
mittee urges all voters to work and
vote for James T. McCleary for con.
gress. Blue Earth county which gave
him such large vote at the primaries,
should do still better for their home
candidate at the election and undoubt.
edly will.
eff Mr.. Taft is elected it is very i'm
portant that we have republican
congress. With Mr.. Taft as president,
if the house should be democratic there
would be a deadlock between the par
ties and nothing could be accomplished.
This would prevent tariff revision AMI
the fulfllment of other promises made
in the republican platform and the
great work begun by President Roose.
welt could not be completed by Mr.
Taft.
president Roosevelt and Mr. Taft
have repeatedly emphasized the i'm
portance of electing republican con-
gress. Their loyal followers should
heed their advice, as they understand
better than we do the Importance o.
SO doing.
''Mr. McCleary received his appoint
ment as second assistant postmaster
general direct from President Roose-
welt. He thoroughly believes in the
Roosevelt policies" and stands square
ly on the republican platform.
'He stands with Mr.. Taft on tariff
revision and his thorough knowledge
of this subject will make him an
invaluable man to look after ths
interests of the second district when
the tariff is revised next summer.
with his, national reputation and
knowledge of men and measures, he
can accomplish much more than any
member of the minority party.
''He has announced positively that
he will not vote for Mr.. Cannon for
speaker of the house.
Why should any republican vote
against Mr.. McCleary this year! He
was nominated by large plurality.
He stands with the progressive re-
publicans on every issue.
'We, therefore, feel that republi.
cans should lay aside all factional
differences, as we have every reason
to believe they will, and vote for
Mr.. McCleary and the rest of the
republican ticket"

TIMBER IN NORTH STAR STATE
General Andrews Pleased With Visit
Of Congressman Mann.

General c. G. Andrews, of the board
of forestry was much pleased with the
visit of Congressman Mann and his
party, who came to inquire into the
extent of the material for wood pulp
and print paper.
General Andrews does not agree with
the estimate used by Mr.. Mann of two
cords of spruce wood to the thousand
feet, but accepts, rather the estimate
of Prof. Roth, of Michigan university,
who places it at three cords to the
thousands feet.
Using his measure General Andrews
says that there are in Minnesota g.
$4,000 cords of spruce, worth Sc a
cord at the mill. The general believes
that a conservative estimate of the
value of all the timber and wood in the
state of Minnesota at the present time
is $l0O,000,00O, and he asks with a
good deal of point, if that is not
worth carefully preserving.
In the prevention of forest fires he
has, he declares, found the aid Of con-
scientious and active fire wardens of
the very greatest service and can cite
instances where such men have been so
effective in their work that villages and
towns have been saved from the flames
of forest fires.
For ten days, he says, the fire which
finally destroyed Chisholm was burning
in the wood, and had the fire warden
of that district, an able and enterpris-
ing man, not been attending the state
fair Chisholm, never would have been
burned
General Andrews believes that first
class men, paid a competent salary, will
accomplish wonders in arresting forest
fires.

REGISTRATION BOARD CON-

An Increase Is Shown in the First
Ward, and the Fifth Is Not So
Slow, Either.

The registration for next Tuesdays
election is heavy. This is particularly
true of the first ward, where SIT
names are on the poll lists as compared
with 435, which is the highest pre-
vious registration. The fifth ward al
so runs higher than any previous re-
liable registration.
The explanation for the increased
registration in the first ward is the
fact that the street car barn being To-
Gated there a number of the en-
ployes are living in the ward. The
line is also having tendency to
build up that ward.
The following are the figures by
wards:
