VAN SAINT FOR CONGRESS NAV.

The latest guess as to who may
bob up as candidate for congress-
man at large at the general election
next year is offered as news item in
the Minneapolis Journal which reads
as follows:
Samuel R. Van SAINT, former gov
ernor, may become candidate for
congressman at large before the next
republican state convention. Rumor
credits him with ambition to serve
one term in congress, and some Of his
friends are already sounding senti-
ment on the proposition. The former
governor, though elected from Vino
ma in 1900, is now resident of Min
neapolis. -....
CHE has large business interests in
land as we'll as in steamship lines,
and has not been very active in poll
tics for several years. He was spok-
en- of recently as possible candidate
for the United States senate against
Knute Nelson, but denied any inten-
tions in that direction He pleaded
that his business engrosses his time
and he cannot afford to leave it for
politics. -...
Running for congressman at large
however, is a very different prcposi-
ton from a campaign for the United
States senate, which would mean e
statewide primary contest year
from next September. The congress
man at large is to be nominated by
the state convention early next sum-
mer, and nomination would probably
mean election with very little effort.
"The service would necessarily be
limited to one term, as the 1913 leg
islature will redistrict the state into
ten instead of nine districts, and the
congressman at large will cease to
be. Captain Van SAINT, it is, said,
would like to spend two years at
Washington, with the honor of rep
resenting the whole state of Mime
sofa, just to round off his public car
eer.''

Golden Seal, the root of the above
plant, is avery useful medicine. Many
people gather it in our rich woodlands
during the summer. Few people know
how valuable it is in dyspepsia, catarrh.
and as a general tonic.
Many thousand pounds of this root are
used each year in the famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna. This factexplains why
everybody uses Peruna for catarrh.
