BUSINESS CHANGE
New Owners for Sank Centre
financial Institution
FIRST STATE BANK SOLD
Entire kells Interests Purchased BY
Strong Combination of Bssi-
ness Men

The First State Bank of Sank Gen.
ire has been purchased by several
we'll known business men, Lucas
Kells, who founded the institution as
private bank in 1880, retiring to-
gether with his brothers r. r. Kells
and L. M. Kells.
The purchasers are J. A. Caughren,
M. F. Woodbury.. DR.. j. A. Dubois,

G. Whitney. Mr.. Whitney is resi-
dent of ST. Cloud and Mr.. Woodbury.
of Hornell, N. Y. Both lived here
formerly and are we'll known. The
others are all residents of Sank Cen
ire.

of J. A. Caughren, NJ. F. Woodbury., j.
A. Dubois, j. F. Cooper and Thos.
Sullivan. j. A. Caughren has been
elected president and M. F. Wood
bury vice president.
1t is a strong financial combination
that owns the bank. They have am
pie capital and the institution is on
par it'll any as to reliability and
safety. The bank will continue to do
business along lines that will COM
mend it to the public. 1t is an old,
well established institution and is do
ing an excellent business along legit-
innate lines. The new owners are
men of standing and experience in the
business and financial world and pro-
pose to see to it that the bank ranks
with the best institutions in the bank
! ing line.

Ter. The Kells brothers all retire

tinue business as state bank. David

DIfHL WINS OUT
Sank Centre Man Elected to Office
of Court Commissioner

Cary Diehf of Sank Centre slipped
one over" on the bright boys of the
county seat. Result, MIR. Diehl is the
duly elected court commissioner of
Stearns county.
No aspirant for the position ap-
peared at the primary election. So
those who desired the job went after
it via the ''sticker" route. Mr.. Diehl
carefully laid his plans, had his stick
ers printed, and on the morning of
election Gay had them distributed
among his friends. Thirty-eight votes
were cast for Mr.. Diehl. When it
came to counting the st. Cloud re-
turns it was found that two citizens
of the county seat had tried the same
trick. Each had nine votes and were
going to call on the state authorities
to decide who should be cit" Then
the county commissioners met to
officially canvass the votes and made
the discovery that 80 Sank Centre
citizens had cast their ballots for
Cary Diehl. The St. Cloud nine spots
have subsidized and Mr.. Diehl sits in
dignity and comfortable arm chair
in his office and rules as court COM
missioner. His many friends have
rendered congratulations and acknow-
ledge the fact that when it comes to
putting one over" on the st. Cloud
bunch Cary's the stuff.
st. Cloud papers of Wednesday as
sert that Mr.. Diehl cannot qualify
unless he. maintains an office in St.
Cloud, and that ]. L. Donohue of the
county seat town, the present incum-
bent, expects Judge M. d. Taylor to
reappoint him. Mr.. Diehl has looked
the matter up and finds that he can
hold the Office even if he does not re-
side in the county seat. 1t looks to
Sank Centre people like part of the
old, old game that St. Cloud has work.

If Democracy makes good it is due
for long lease of power and it will
and shonld receive its due; if it fails,
its downfall in the next election will
be more spectacular than was its
triumph in this.
Colonel Roosevelt boasts in his
picturesque way that he has "Des-
troyed the Republican Party. Hor-
ace Greeley, Carl Schurz, Henry KEEL
Ter, Charles A. Towne and a host OF
lesser lights have made the same
spectacular boast in the years gone
by. Yet the party emerged from
each defeat stronger, more virile and
liver than ever.
One thing is certain, the fundamen-
tai principles of the Republican party,
protection, constitutional representa-
tive government, sound money, equal
ity before the law, and economy fair
ness and economy in administration
must be adhered to or God save the
Republic.

DEMOCRATIC
BY Or. J. a. DUBOIS

lIO PCOPlO VI Oul SOuhtlH low
placed the management of our govern
ment in the hands of the Democrat c
party.
Have they done wisely?
This will depend upon whether the
Democratic party is, and shall remain,
Democratic. That the rank and file
of the party are Democratic admits OF
no doubt. But the same cannot be
said of the politicians, the clever
manipulators of conventions, the men
" no use their connections with a
great political party for only their
own personal advancement. 1t was
this class that VIM. ]. Bryan put to
rout at Baltimore, and by doing SO,
saved the Democratic party its democ-
racy.
The cry Of the t5iitician that nc;
man can be bigger than his party, is
false. Bryan at Baltimore was big
ger than his party. And those who
believe in Democratic principles of
government have not yet caught up
with the great founder of those prin-
ciples in this countrEThomas JEFF
ferson.
In the comparatively short time in
which the people of the United States
have become acquainted with Wood
row Wilson, they have grown aware
that we have still with us in these
days another strong character from
whom much can reasonably be ex-
pected. He is well grounded in DEM
ocratic fundamentals. He is not pro-
vincial. He seems to have clear
conception of the principles of popular
government. And he understands the
American people. :.
only want to add that 1 believe
that we have cast our votes wisely,
and will close with the following
brief quotation from one of the
speeches delivered few weeks ago by
Mr.. Wilson:
II am interested in parties, my
friends, only as instrumentalities. 1
am devoted to the Democratic party
because I believe that amid multi
tude of blundsrs, no doubt, it has
been trying to steer by the standards
set up in ancient days when our con-
ception of Democracy was so clear
eyed and simple, and that no party
has Appropriated more nearly than it
has the efforts to serve the people
rather than to serve the special inter
ests.
"But if the Democratic party does
not do that in fact as we'll as in
theory, I am not going to criticise
anybody that deserts the Democratic
party. 1t will not be desertion.
ssrhere 10 only one thing, my
friends, that you can desert, and
that 10 your principles"
