. Ortonville journal: In view Of
multiplicity Of candidates for the office
OF county auditor it might not be amiss
to suggest that they follow the example
of the newspapers some of them and
pool their interests by forming q comb.
ination., The law fixes the salary; why
not settle upon one Of the boys to do
the work for cay '25 per cent of the
legal rate" then divide the balance
among the others. No harm in that.
Anoka Union: Listening to the
talk Of democrats anent the governor
ship, you'd think the only recommen.
datlon for a governor IS that he should
be handsome, elegant OF manners,
good talker, and an ornament to the
beautiful surroundings in the new cap.
itol However the people are wise, and
will insist on man who will give his
time and attention to the business of
the position, and his name is Jacob Ja-
c0bsOn. ~ - - !.
Spring Valley Sun: Rev.sS. McMfn.
mis- with his wife and two daughters,
who have been spending the past three
months in Ireland, arrived in New
York on August 28th and are
now on their way to Spring Valley via
Niagara Falls, an6 will arrive the lat.
ter part of the week. Rev. McMinnis
will preach in the Baptist church next
Sunday morning and evening.
Albert Lea Tribune: Mr.. Knatwold's
record during the eight years he served
Freeborn county as state senator is
above reprOach and he was one of the
most useful members of that body. He
never forgot the interests of his consti-
tuents and yet recognized the rights of
all. If elected to congress he would
make one of the most energetic and
conscientious members ever sent from
the northwest. s>'
Northfield News: The endorsement
of Mr.. Tawney in the First district 10
in effect an endorsement OF MIR. Can
non and standpattism, with all that
that implies. THE DEFEAT Of
MR.. TAWNEY WOULD BE, A RE-
BUKE TO THE SPEAKER OF
WHICH He WOULD NOT FAIL
TO TAKE NOTICE. Thus the out.

Chicago Inter Ocean: A good many
of us have long suspected that our
colleges, instead Of being "abreast Of

always recognized that knowledge has.

~ Albert Lea Standard: It is reported
that Tawney is sending personal let
ters to voters of the district, under his
frank as congressman, thus saving
postage, urging his claims to reelection.
If this is true he is guilty of criminal
Offense and is liable to fine and impri.
sonment. The use of a frank IN such
q manner is expressly prohibited by
law and the sending of each letter is q
penal offense. 1t is claimed that op,
pononts of Tawney have obtained pos
session of such eliminating letters and
that they are likely to cause him seri.
Gus trouble.
Lanesboro Leader: Hon. T.. V.
Knatvold is in touch with the senti-
ment and wishes OF the great majority
of the people of this district and in
harmony with President Roosevelt's
ideas. Such q man can certainly, if
elected, do more for his district, if not
for himself personally, than one who
IS tied up to Joe Cannon and his satel-
lites. Congressman Tawney is react
ionary and should be beaten. And he
will, if too many Republicans do not
stay away from the polls at the primary
election September Is.
Pioneer Press: w. A.. Nolan of

couraging report from his district.
Two years ago it was carried by Gov.
johnson by 400 majority. "This year,"
said Mr.. Nolan, jacobson will carry
the district by 800 to 400. Republicans
of that district who have heretofore
voted for johnson because of his per-
s0nai popularity do not feel inclined to
give johnson third tern and they do
not relish his statement, in accepting
the nomination, that he did so because
he wanted to pull the Democratic party
out of the bole. They feel that If their
votes are going to help Johnson pull
