LINDBERGH A PRODUCT OF THE
PRIMARY LAW.

Long Prairie Argus: It may be said
that Mr.. Lindbergh is a product OF the
existing primary law. Under the con-
vention system, there would have been
no Congressman Lindbergh. Mr..
Buchanan would have turned the
trick four years ago with the greatest
ease in a delegate convention, as all
the shrewdest politicians and
wirepullers were tor buchanan. Mr..
Lindbergh has shown q disposition to
stand for what was right and in the
interest of the common people regard
less of any political consequences to
himself or his closest political friends
This determined independence has
made 1t difficult, if not impossible for
him to secure political appointments,
but It has not weakened him with the
average voter. It is somewhat anus
Ing to see the men who persistentiy
opposed him four years ago now over
flow with honeyed words The secret
of this fulsome f1attery lies in the fact
that during Mr.. Buckman's last year
as congressman, he filled nearly all the
Offices in the district with his bench
men, and as the end Of their terms
approach, they would like to get ON
friendly terms with Mr.. Liudbergh.
But whether Mr.. Lindbergh will get
new men appointed or let the old
guard stay in, he will be 1enomlnated
and re- elected to c0nrgess.

said that he knew OF certainty, that
MIR. McGarry had been approached by
strong people in the district who had
voluntarily offered him their support
if he would make the run, but that
the Walker representative had not

and tender of support; that any state
ment made from Cass Lake or any
other place, to the effect that Mr.. Me-
Garry had absolutely declined to enter
the congressional race, but had agreed
to again run for the Legislature and
take up the Cass Lake fight for the To-

People who know the family we'll win

there is little hope that many Of that

The cooperation of the Washington

the interest of the schoolboys and Of

in every possible way, and the athletic
