Judge Jacques are after''
1t is rumored that Hugh T. Hal
bert, prominently Identified with the
coming conservation congress, is to file
as the progressive candidate for the
Republican congressional nomination
In the fourth. the st. Paul. district, as
against Congressman Stevens, the
present incumbent.
Stevens IS a stalwart with Just
enough of surface discrimination Of in
surgency to make him most dan
gerous man so far as real progress
iveness Is concerned, for in the final
analysis he has never been found
wanting when the Interests needed
him. 1t is refreshing to hear that
he will have active opposition in his
own party which may lead to his ul-
innate elimination as political fac
tor.
The International Falls Echo knows
a good thing when it sees it, as wit
ness the following from it's issue Of
August 10:
1T now develops that Hon. C. B.
Miller, congressman from this district,
Is to have opposition at the primaries.
A. g. Mcknight, an attorney of Du-
luth.: having filed for the Republican
nomination.. And judging by the re-
ception which Judge Jaques Of Du-
luth, the Democratic candidate. re-
ce'ved at international Falls yester-
day, the winner Of the Republican
nomination will not have clear sailing
at The polls in November, by long
Odds
It hardly ever pays in the long run
TO carry water on both shoulders"
This, as Of everything else. is also true
of politics, especially in these times
of pernicfous publicity. Congressman.
Miller is beginning to find this out
In these times Of piping insurgency
when state after state is adding the
weight OF It's enthusiastic endorse,
n1ent of the insurgent cause, it is ex-
ceedtngly unpleasant for doubtful
candidate to have his stand pat pro-
clivities unmasked. =
But these. doubtful candidates must
help each other out in their juggling
uphill fight. They can't expect any
help from real insurgents and SO they
cal! on each other. The latest call
from the wilderness is from Congress-
man Frank Nye of Minneapolis, an
other staunch supporter of Cannon
and Cannonism. And whom should
he more appropriately call on than on
our own stand-pat congressman. So
1t is said to be on the cards if Miller is
not altogether too busy in his own dis
trict,' that he is to help Frank out in
his district and in return the SILVER
tongue of the persuasive Minneapolis
Cannon disciple is to be wagged in
Miller's behalf in the eighth.
And thus one hand washes the
other and the pot is kept boiling.
When Frank does let Loose his flood
Of oratory in this district you may set
it down for straight that Mr.. Miller's
home organ will be explaining what
a radics! Frank Nye is and how he
''also has insurgent blood in his veins"

Judge Alfred Jaques, of Duluth,
Democratic candidate for congress
from this district, was in the city the
fore part of the week in the interests

quaintances and making new ones.
Judge Jaques is a very pleasant schol-
arly gentleman, and is said to be en-
! inently fitted to fill any position in
the gift Of the people of this district.

probably not enter into campaign
