JOHN r. ME1N1NG promises to be
the "candy kid" in the shrievaity
fight. And his nomination would
not be at all displeasing to many
range friends.
The sight of a man with the
"snakes," which detracted from the
ball game Sunday afternoon, might
be taken as an indication that the
Gid" was Ieaky.
EDITOR koEN asserts that he Twill
take the democrat for congress in
preference to Mr.. Miller" So will
many others, whether they edit
newspapers or not.
JOHN A. HEALY, H,bbing candi.
date for the house, was in the city
Sunday. Would have talked politics
had it been any other day of the
week, but John does not believe in
mixing politics and religion, 80 he
cut out both on this visit.
The campaign cry of Clarence B.
Miller two years ago was "Let the
voice of the people be heard" If
he will put his ear to the ground on
the evening of September 10th he
will be able to hear the voice of the
people, in emphatic if not pleasing
detonation.
The Ballinger-Pinchot Investigate
ing committee will meet in St. Paul
next week, for a final accounting
before report is made. And Ex-
President Roosevelt, Garfield and
Pinchot will be there too, to see that
the whitewash is not spread too
thick.
IF you wish to know who to vote
tor at the primaries just 90 through
the advertising columns of the En-
terprise. And if you fail to find the
announcement of the one for whom
you are looking just jot it down
that it is because he has not order
ed his advertising at 80 much per
inch.
1T IS amusing to note how con-
sistently the Duluth press continues
to refer to Senator Vail as "the Vlr.
ginia brewer" in the vain attempt
to knock" him in his campaign
work. And just az consistently fail
to mention aught about the bigger
brewery interests being interested
in the candidacy of one of his CD.
ponents.
We note that down in Jim Tawn-
ery's district, some of the republic
can papers are in open declaration
that unless Tawney's opponent de.
feats him for the republican nomi-
nation they will openly support the
democratic nominee for congress-.
All of which shows that American
ism is not an empty word in all
cases, even yet.
OUR attention has been called to
the political advertising of a certain
county candidate for re election, in
which the editorial" utterances of
certain of the county press are re-
produced. The leaflet, however,
fails to record whether or not the
"editorials" copied were illusions
of the editorial think-tank or were
simply given space in the publica-
tons at 80 much per inch.
A. E. PFREMMER, for some years
past connected with the Hibbine
Tribune, disposes of his interests to
his partner, r. w. Hitchcock, and
with his family will leave shortly
for Florida, where he will make his
future home. Bro. Pfremmer has
always stood we'll with the newspa.
per boys of the range, and the best
wishes of the press gang will &C.
company him to the land of flowers.
IN an address in favor of LaFol-
lette delivered at Manitowoc Mon
day evening Senator Dolliver, of
Iowa. intimated very strongly that
Theodore Roosevelt may be the Gin
surgent" candidate for president in
1912. From all appearances it will
be either an insurgent or a demo-
crat, unless "the interests" materi.
ally change the present order of
legislating in behalf of the inter-
ests, in 1912. And while the hide
bound partisan press profess con-
Germ as to Roosevelts ability to
"come back" there can be no ques-
ton but he would sweep the coun-
try on any platform-not excepting
prohibition or popnlism.
q THERE have been so many re-
marks in the political columns of
the Duluth dailies relative to Sena.
tor Vail being "a Virginia brewer"
that we should be pleased to have
an unequivocal answer to the fol.
