Woodrow Wilson.

The nomination OF Governor
Woodrow Wilson OF New Jersey at
yesterdays session OF the Baltimore
convention Is q great victory for
I the Democratic party. He was not
only the most progressive of the
candidates who sought honors at
the hands OF the delegates. but also
the most able man. With Coy. Will
son at the head OF the ticket, the
Democratic party will have nothing
to defend, and he will lead the
party on to victory next November,
Gov Wilson, while not profess
sional politician. has a sufficient
knowledge OF the game to defend
himself from the Vaccinations OF
men who are recognized as profes-
SIGNALS. He is progressive from

LEARNING TO SWIM

A man who pretended to be ex-
tremely wise once said:
I'VE learn to swim in the winter
and to.skate in the summer"
His idea was that there is a sub
conscious activity which continues
after the outer activity has ceased
and so a boy skates better after a
summer of idleness than he did when
the ice went out the spring before.
On that basis farmers are made IN
the winter and school teachers DUR
ing the summer vacation.
Maeterlinck writes of the wise
silence. He means the same thing.
the progressive, energetic silence,
the silence that Carlyle preached
through forty volumes.
The application of this deep
philosophical principle to every day
politics is apparent. If you wish to
work out reforms you must start
them in your brain. in your own per-
sonal subconscious activity. If you
are going to effect any change at the
state convention or the county con-
yention next summer now is the time
to start.
If you want your legislature to
enact certain laws the foundation
must be laid now. If the progress
sives of this county are ever to ac-
complish anything there must be
united as well as individual effort
that is ceaseless, determined, con-
fident.
Reforms are wrought out when
the legislature is not in session. A
member of the house can be reform.
ed at the polls but never at the state
capitol.

BEHIND THE POLITICAL SCENE.

OF the making of many governors
there is no end.
And don't be alarmed, more are
on the way. When the state con-
vention meets there will be a splen-
did galaxy of "would-bes" from
which to choose.
Gordon has gone nobly to the
sacrifice being laid upon the burning
altar by his strange friends.
William E. Lee of Long Prairie
who once upon time cut some fig :
ure in this state has been dragged
into the fight, no one seems to know
how. Lee is county optionist. So
is Gordon. Lee is a progressive.
So is Gordon. Lee and Gordon
were both candidates for the second
place on the ticket last year. Lee
helped nominate Gordon.
| Lee knew that Gordon was to
make the fight for the head of the
ticket. No matter he goes right
along.
What does it mean? Evidently
someone has used" Lee who is
above personal reprosch. Some
progressive or other has urged Les
into the race to hurt Gordon and
help Eber hart. Doesn't it look rea-
sonable?
Lee knows he can't get the nomi.

a mighty fight on his hands at the
