have been in almost daily contact
with Judge Stanton.
Judge Stanton has presided on
the bench on several occasions and
those attending court have had
ample opportunity to judge of his
ability as fair, impartial and effic..
lent jurist.
At the last term of court the men,
bers of the grand jury paid high
compliment to the judge for his work
during that term. Many important
cases came up for consideration
and the members of the jury were
unanimous in commencing the
judges decisions.
There is practically no opposition
to Judge Stanton in this county,
except by very few hide-bound
old-time political warehouses;" who
can say nothing against Mr.. STAN
ton, either as a lawyer or as private
citizen.
This opposition has practically
disappeared and endorsements of the
Judges candidacy which have been
given publicity heretofore have been
renewed with many additional sigma
lures.

up their minds to come.
To do this is an impossibility.
There is not money enough in the
state advertising fund to pay the
$1,000 in two cent postage required
to mail each man a personal letter
urging him to come to Minnesota
and enjoy life in a rich and prosper
Gus country. For the lack of two
cent stamps Minnesota loses the
opportunity of securing hundreds
and. possibly several thousands of
settlers who are already interested
but need more information and
argument to convince them.
This situation is considered by
the Federation to be most serious,
and one which requires immediate
action if Minnesota is to rank with
Texas, Canada, or even North Da-
kota, in the minds Of eastern farm
ers seeking new homes. The officers
of the Federation practically all of
whom reside in rural communities,
believe that if the state will spend
the proper amount of money in a
businesslike campaign under con-
servative and economical supervision
Minnesota can be made to rank with
Texas, Canada and other regions

That c.. w. Stanton, Judge of the
Fifteenth Judicial District, will
easily be elected to succeed himself.
is generally conceded by those who
are in close touch with the situation
in the different counties or the dis
trict.
While Judge Stanton's supporters
are not claiming that he will carry
every county, they are assured by
those who know that in no county in
the district will there be a decisive
majority for his opponent, B. F.
Wright of Park Rapids.
Judge Stanton has been sitting on
the bench since ex-Judge Spooner
resigned and left for the west, and
the members of the bar and the
majority of the great common people
who elevate man to office and as
often relegate others to the common
walks of life have had occasion to
meet him and come into personal
contact with the judge, in court, as
we'll as in everyday business and
social transactions.
The verdict of both bar and pub.
lie is that Judge Stanton has made a
most efficient judge, being fair and
impartial and very obliging to all:
and in private life he is an honor.
agile gentleman, in every sense of the
word.
These excellent qualifications have
been factors in producing the unani-
nous sentiment that Judge Stanton
should be given big majority, an
endorsement of his fitness for judi
cial honors.

The question OF placing the W lsh
high school in the list Of recognized
high schools Of the state, Superintend-
endHarris' views olNhich are given at
some length in another column OF this
issue, is of vital Importance to the ed
ucational interests of the city.
There is no other one thing that
does more TO secure desirable class
of citizens in place, than good
schools. In this day and age, when
the absolute necessity of an education
is recognized by all, no man of real
worth is going to locate in city Of
inferior schools. Nor, by the same
token, will the best class of citizens
long remain in such a place after
their children reach an age where 1t is
necessary for them to have the ad-
yantages of good schools. This be-
ing the case, it becomes necessary for
Welsh, as we'll as every other town
that hopes to maintain its standing,
to look we'll to it's public schools.
The time has now come when we
should consider the matter of whether
we will place our schools on par
with the best schools of the state, or
whether we will continue in the old
rut, letting the neighboring towns adj
vance their educational systeins while
we remain dormant.
We realize that there is strong
feeling on the part of many, against
the city deciding the school property,
which it owns, in fee simple, to the
parish. A careful study of this ques-
