] In the approaching caucuses to
| select delegates to state convention
to nominate delegates to the nation
al convention, do you favor taking
an expression Of the voters on the
presidential situation? lie you do,
| then: See to it, so far as you are
able, that every ballot cast at the
caucuses indicates the preference Of
the voter as to presidential candi-
dates. Insist that the secretary of
the caucus report the result of the
preferential presidential vote to the
county convention, along with the
credentials of the delegates. By
pursuing this course in every pre-
cinct in the state, including those in
which the bosses are in control, such
demonstration will Demade in favor
of popular government that no ma
chine or organization, no matter how
firmly intrenched, can ignore it

According to the Redwood Gazette
there is no Eberhart sentiment in
Redwood county, although it asserts
that there is some feeling for him in
few towns, and it significantly adds
that neither Lee nor Gordon is much
known in the county Then who do
you really want for the position? If
you have a dark horse trot him out
and give the people chance TO look
him over. AS conditions are at pre-
sent an entirely new man is by no
means out of question. While Gov
ernor Eberhart personally is perhaps
stronger than either of his present
opponents, the combined strength of
the latter may be sufficient to pre-
vent the formers nomination on the
/ first ballot and that may mean de-
feat in the end. The trouble with
Lee and Gordon lies in their inabil-
ity to combine their forces for
common purpose, which is bound to
react IN favor of the governor. And
since neither candidate seems to be
in frame of mind to step aside for
the other a popular new man sprung
at the right moment has a good
chance to get away with the nomina-
tion.- st. Peter Free Press.
Suppose the state Republican con-
venticn to select national delegates
should be controlled by Roosevelt's
friends, and then, supposing some
resolution on state matters should
be passed well, there's certainly an
interesting time ahead. Little Falls

Why is it that the rates on every
passenger train entering Minnesota
are boosted as soon as the train
strikes Minnesota soil?-Long Prai-
RE Leader. Why isit? That's easy
Weren't you interested in the last
legislature? Do you know a man by
the name of Judge Sanborn? Ask
the judge! He'll tell you all about
it. Ask the railroad companies!
They will tell you all about it and
will ask you what you are going to
do about it.-Lake Crystal Union.
1t is now reported upon good au-
thority that some of the Minnesota
railroads are contemplating the vol
untary reduction Of passenger fares
from 3 to 2 cents mile. The pun
ishment they haye been melting out
to the public is said to be proving a
boomerang as they are making less
money under the two-t wo-and- a-half
three-cent rates of discrimination
than they would under straight 2
cent fare. -Aitkin Age.
The 2-cent rate on passenger travel
was an inducement to the public to
make frequent use of it and the re-
suit was that people Of moderate
means could take trips which added
much to their enjoyment. Under
the present robber rates, the public
uses the railroads just as little as
possible and the feeling against them
is bitter. If a man is rich he can
