What Wouldn't Occur to the Candidatee
What would occur should the demo-
cratic committee pick out good
Irishman or American as a candidate
for governor?-Anoka Union.

He Certainly Does.
We see no inconsistency in booze
lighters supporting county option
but when man whose breath would
strangle a turkey buzzard, goes about
preaching temperance and running for
Office at the same time, we believe he
does violence to the eternal fitness of
things.-Appleton Press.
At the End of His Rope:
Frank Day, through his Fairmont
Sentinel, is making the effort of his
life to square himself in the eyes of
the people for the part he played in
placing the democratic party in the
deplorable condition that it is now in.
NO use, Frank, the best of 'em come
to the dropping off place sooner or
later, and your time has come.-Sher-
burn Advance.

Howling Farce.
The recent democratic state conven-
ton was about the biggest farce seen
in the history of any political party.
It's shame and disgrace to democ-
racy and the blame rests upon the
heads OF a few designing politicians
who had more consideration for the
petty jobs they hold than they had for
John Lind or the party.-Norwood
Times (dem.).

Billy Owns Them All.
From the appearance of things it
looks as though Billy Hamm, the
chief factor in the brewery combina-
tion, has pretty fair control of both
parties. He didn't control the repub-
licans two years ago or four years
ago, and they failed to land their
man for governor. This year he is
finding no fault with Eberhart. It's up
to the republicans to elect a legis-
lature pledged not to be dictated to by
the brewery element. It is about time
Minnesota was run by some faction
besides the liquor interests.-Slayton
Gazette.

The Right Sort of Talk.
That the northern part of the state
is deprived of just representation by
the failure of the legislature to pass
a reapportionment bill there is no
question. It was simply a case of
men being unwilling to legislate them
selves out of Office and the portions of
the state which have more representa-
ton than belong to them refusing to
let go of anything even if Justice docs
demand it. The north country is
going ahead by leaps and bounds and
is entitled to and should have it's just
share of representation without
further delay.-Belview Independent.

More Than One Important Issue
The Anchor has frequently called
attention to the fact that there are a.
number of important questions to
come up before the next legislature
and has stated that county option is
not the only thing nor even the most
important one. A great many candi-
dates are attempting to ride into office
on the crest of the wave of popular
clamor for this temperance legislation
but anyone with legislative experience
will tell us that it will be almost i'm
possible for member to accomplish
anything at all for his district or
even for county option if he goes to
St. Paul with hands and feet tied to
this one idea and no other.-Dassel

We Can't All See Alike.
How natural it is for the average
man to take one-sided view of things
