Facts About Giants.

That very few of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
we'll formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt. All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall. but in
the second book Of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being.
and. according to modern scientists.
this is invariably token Of degen-
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan a
giant who was so tall that his body
filed two beds at night. but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
" stand upright. William Evans the
gigantic porter Of Charles l.. had little
strength, and Cromwell's porter. an
other giant. ended his days in a luna
tic asylum. Finally, O'Brien. the Irish
giant, has been described as ian enor-
nous sick child who grew up too
fast"

ARE Confident OF
REPUBLICAN VICTORY

Minneapolis, Aug. Ex-senator P. J..
McCumber of North Dakota, republi-
can nominee to succeed himself, and
C. A. Johnson, of Minot. republican
nominee for governor are both in Min
neapolis. Senator McCumber came
down by automobile from Detroit,
Mimi, where he is spending the sum.
mer recuperating from his recent i'll
ness. He declares that in his opinion
there will be no break between Pres
ident Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, as
the president is trying hard to carry
out the policies of his predecessor,
and succeeding.
Both the North Dakotans are feel
ing confident of republican success in
that state on the whole ticket. 1t is
conceded that the only fight will be
on governor, and both sides will con.
centrate their efforts there. The con-
gressmen, the rest of the state ticket
and the legislature are safely republi-
can. Mr.. johnson was the Republi-
can candidate two years ago and was
beaten by Governor John Burke, then
running for second term. The fac
tional fight in the Republican primar-
les lasted right up until election and
aided much in electing Governor
Burke.
This year the situation is quite diff
ferent. Governor Burke is running
for a third term, which has very diff
ferent sound to the voters. The re-
publican primaries in June were hard
fought, but ended with much better
feeling than two years ago. The pro-
gressives lost on governor and one
senator, but got the other senator, one
congressman, and a majority of the
other places. The senatOrship was
settled by the primary and that fight
is not dragging through the campaign
as it did two years ago, denOra1izing
the organization. The members of the
state committee, who will meet early
in September, have really but one OBJ
ject, and that is to elect the governor.
The progressive organization has pro-
missed it's hearty support, and It Is
being accepted in the same spirit.
c. A. Johnson, nominee for governor
is at the Nicollet for few days. He
says there is absolutely nothing being
done in the political line this month,
that the people are glad to have
good rest from politics after the pri-
maries, and the campaign will not
open until after the state committee
meets in September. Under the law
this committee is to frame the plat
form, in consultation with the candi-
dates.
