WHY NOT ELECT RACINE SENATOR?

Kandiyohi County, in the lead in
the campaign to Danish saloons
from Minnesota, has great oppor-
tunity in the coming election to
help the cause of county option in
the state in most direct and prac-
tical way-BY ELECTING ELIAS
RACINE TO THE SENATE.
Hon. Elias Rachie of Willmar is
the legislative superintendent of
the anti-saloon league Of Minnesota.
He will be busy all spring and sum-
mer in the work Of assisting in the
shaping of the legislative contests
in all the districts of the state, in
order that the people everywhere
may have the opportunity to vote
for men who can be depended upon
to stand and fight for county op-
tion. This great work will require
all his time and energy until the
polls close in November. The
TRIBUNE is quite certain that Mr..
Rachie will not become a candidate
for the position mentioned in the
ordinary sense of making a person.
al canvass for the election. But
why will it not be the right thing
for the people of the county to do.
to pick him up and place him in
this position without any effort on
his part except his mere consent to
stand for the election? The fight
for county option will not be over
with the elections. There will be
desperate attempts made by the
brewing interests to defeat the
measure in the legislature. Mr..
Rachie in his present position will
necessarily be required to be or
hand to assist in the marshalling Of
the forces for county option. Or
the outside his position would be
similar to that of an ordinary lob
byist. AS senator, he would have
a voice and influence on the inside
where it would count a hundred
fold more. The booze district Of
St. Paul keeps the attorney Of
Hamm's Brewing Company on thu
inside as senator in order to lool
out for the interests of the enemies
of county option. Why should no
Kandiyohi county, the banner dr.!
county of the State, offset this b!
placing the valiant young legisla
tive superintendent of the anti-sa
loon league also on the inside O.

the Red Wing Seminary, from
which Institution he graduated in
1898. He entered the state Uni-'
versity where he received the de- |
grees of B. l., M. A., L. L. B., and !
Phi. D. He taught school three years
before he entered into the legal pro-
fession. In 1904 he VISA elected to
the House Of Representatives from
Lac qui parle county. and he dis
tinguished himself as progressive
statesman. He always had his eye
upon Willmar as being a central
and otherwise desirable place to To-
cate for the practice of his profess
sion, and that is why he put up his
single here three years ago. He
is in every way fitted to represent
the county with credit to himself
and the county.
If he in one sense can be looked
upon as new conner, he will have
the advantage of being absolutely
free from alliances with old rolit-
ical factions of the county. If
elected in this way he would con-
tinue to be absolutely free to act as
his conscience would dictate. He
is by blood, training and environ
ment as much one of US as if he
had actually lived in this county
all his life.
He is nominally a republican in
politics, which ought to be satisfy
ing to that rapidly dwindling part
Of our people who set so great a
store upon the lettering Of the liable,
and he is heartily in sympathy with
all progressive measures designed
to bring our government nearer to
the people and make it more re-
sponsive to the demands of the peo-
iple, such as direct legislation, per-
lection and extension Of the popu-
lar primary, popular election of u.
S. Senators, etc. which ought to be
satisfying to the independent vot-
ing part of our people who don't
care 80 much about the label as
they do about the quality of the
contents Of the vessel. His stand
in the county option convention
proves that his heart is right, that
he places the success of the cause
of good government far above any
party success, that he has the spirit
and zeal of the crusader in the
county option cause, and that he is
an effective and convincing speaker.
Good people of Kandiyohi Coun-
ty-think this over. If it strikes
you as it does US, write Mr.. Rachie
urging him to permit his name to
be filed. Nothing can stop his cleo
tion. If opposition should develop,
we are certain that hundreds of
volunteers will offer themselves to
see that he would not be undone by
political Vaccinations at the polls.

SUPPRESSED.
a Story That Won a Prize and Vet
Was Never Published,

A number of years ago a series Of
prizes for the best detective story
was offered by a certain well known
western newspaper. and the late +. X.
Burton, In collaboration with fellow
craftsman. entered the competition.
Their story, the theme of which in
volved an ingenious method of rob-
bling safe in spite Of the protection
afforded by time lock. was one Of the
five which won prizes. and the authors
portraits were duly published in the
issue OF the paper which announced
the result of the competition. The
prize money. constituting a considera-
BILE sum. was promptly paid over. but
to the authors surprise. although the
other four winning stories were pub
lished. that of the time lock failed to
appear. After 4 few weeks repre-
sentative Of the paper called upon Mr.
Burton, explaining that the editor was
anxious to know what authority he
had for his story and whether 1t would
really be possible to rob bank after
the fashion that he had set forth
With the help Of a pencil and a few
diagrams Mr.. Burton easily proved
the accuracy Of the method to the APP
parent satisfaction of his interviewer
and thereafter looked forward to a
prompt appearance Of the story. But
a few days later the secret of the de-
lay was revealed. A special envoy of
the paper waited upon him. full Of
CONSERVATION and apology. and pre-
pared TO make any amends within rea-
son. but was emphatic in announcing
that it was absolutely impossible to
publish the story. because after eX-
pert investigation they had become
convinced that if it should appear in
print ii would destroy the protective
power of every time lock safe in the
country, and the representative of the
newspaper did not take his leave I'M
til he had obtained what Mr.. Burton
under the circumstances easily grant
ed-a signed agreement releasing the
paper from its obligation TO publish
the story and solemnly pledging him
self not to attempt to publish it else
where. Accordingly the curiosity
piqued by this bit Of inside history is
likely never to be gratified.

QUALITY or RANDALL COUNTY WHEAT,

The News has had a number
of letters from non-residents as
to the quality of wheat raised in
Randall county. In answer to
some of the questions. the News
wishes to state in the first place
that what applies to Randall
applies to most any county in
the Panhandle country. The
wheat grown in this section to-
gather with the other small
grains have been placed on ex-
hibition at both state fairs and
National eXpositions. and have
captured first prizes, Doth for
baking qualities and strength.
The wheat has not only been in
competition with the wheat in
this country but with the best
wheat Of any other country on
the globe, and the Panhandle
country wheat has been the
winner OF first prizes in some Of
the tests made. In order to ar
rive at a satisfactory basis on
which % test the true merits Of
each sample Of wheat, like guam
titles We're made into bread and
the test proved that wheat
raised in jhe Panhandle country
was the prise winner in that it
produced 10 per cent more
bread with the same quantity
of wheat used. thus proving con
clusiyely that the Panhandle
wheat was Of much greater
strength, which is one of the
greatest factors with the baker.
1t only confirms the opinion Of
the News that this section of the
Panhandle country and the
State Of Texas is destined to be
come one of one most renowned
wheat producing sections in the
United States, if not in the
world as the soil, the climatic
conditions, and every other con
dition that is essential to the
growing of wheat is right here,
combined in this section of the
Panhandle country, Randall
