THE VOTERS CHOICE

Politics is game and it is also the method by which
public officials are selected. AS "game" it is a
royal sport, but it ends election night and result
of the game certain public officials selected.
The difference between politician and voter is
that the politician is playing while the voter is
choosing public official
The politician asks of the candidate, "How we'll can
you play the gamer" The voter asks of the candidate
"What kind of an official will you maker"
Sometimes the politicians pick out candidate be-
he play the game we'll, but the voters don't
want him because he will not make good official.
Sometimes the voters want certain man because he
will make good official. but he makes a mess
of getting elected because he can't 'play the game
All politicians voters, and some voters are
politicians, but most voters just voters.
When the politician get the voters point of view
and stick to it. he becomes statesman.
But when he loses the voters viewpoint he wakes
up with headache.
We had not intended to mention any names in this
editorial but easily suggests itself Roosevelt was
a successful politician and statesman because he
had and kept the voters viewpoint But he allowed hik
head to be turned with his in the game, and lost
the voters viewpoint and he has the headache He
forgot how the looked third term he forgot how
the voter considered him responsible for Taft selection
he forgot that the voter might not wish to desert the
leadership of La Toilette.
But do not want to destroy the effectiveness of
central thought by possibly running counter to read
ers application of the thought Plenty of instances viii
each reader and later all the
instances and call that agreement history.
This is to be political year. You can't Arrange
for whist party without carefully lodging con
vention primary dates.
So while playing the game, let US not become
so engrossed that we forget the main question: "Wha
kind of an official are we going to get?''
This should be the politicians litany. "Preserve tt
the voters viewpoint
Then there is harm in playing the game.

COPPER RIVETS

What some people lack in brain they make up in
heart
The who tends to his own business has his hands
pretty full
Everything turns into obstacle before the man who
gets in hurry.
So two people lose sight of the point at is.
sue, an argument ensues
very fat person is only another instance of ''too
much of good thing
The surest way to cure that idea that YOU haven't
anything to do is to get busy
Too many bosses spoil the boy just as sure as that
" too many cooks spoil the BROTH
When folks begin to quarrel. there wouldn't be SO
much said if there to talk about
1t always struck that about the biggest game of
chance man ever goes up against is life itself
An optmist is one who things as they ought to
be- pessimst is who things just about as they
are.
There's good many of US nervous folks who would
much prefer good big bite that eternal yapping of
barking dog.
Another thing have just learned is that if one will

transaction to come out straight.
If all men could always keep before their conscious

the insignificant of finite existence what peck Of tro.

A CUISINES" CANDIDATE.

Every in a while. some candidate for governor
is touted 'busness candidate, and base
their principle claim to the office being business
candidates. The business is somewhat indefinite
for its application candidate may either that
he is mixed up in 'good business 'bad business
and if be good business man, it does not
follow that he has all the other qualities that go to make
up desirable candidate.
The Moutevideo Leader (Democratic) believes the
Democrats should have business candidate also. but
whether the suggestion is bit of gentle satire,
leave for the reader to judge. The Leader says:-
ut is plain to be that lot of republicans do
Eberhart to have the Office another term, but
they of mind to who shall be his
With Sam Y. Gordon. VIM. E. Lee and Ed Weaver in the
ring and Mr. Spooner and few others almost persuaded

chances for nomination all the stronger Surely the
Ants ought to be able to get together cand

hearted way 1t is understood that Hammond will not
accept nomination for the governorshp, preferrng to
take his chances reelection to congress In this
dilemma suggest candidate who be elected. and
his front is Jim HILL Mr.. Hill evidently does not
hanker for Office and he is not what would call an
orthodox democrat but think he would make govern
that all the people could look to and know that
had there who attends to business, and that he

gubernatoria chair would have efficient business
administration and that is what the people of this state

THE DISADVANTAGE NOT REAL

One argument advanced against the preferential
primary is that the country would loose the advantage of
delegates at large which has under the convention
system. 1t is that under the present system ESQ
Republicans of Hennepin county represented state
convention by delegate while about 100 Republicans
of Stevens county have delegate This is because
each county is given five delegates large and the five
delegates given Hennepn county hardly makes any diff
erence while the five delegates given this county
the representation than twice However, notice
able that attention first directed by city paper
this apparent advantage for the country urged
objection to the primary. No country paper, so far
know has raised this objection
Yet under the present system every small county in
the state enjoys this apparent advantage while every large
county suffers under what appears disadvantage
And the opponents of the primary try tell that
under primary the 10000 Republican of Hennepin
county would outnumber the 700 Stevens that
the Henuepn Republicans could 80 counties like
ours.
But the nub of the whole matter is that as high as
40 per of the Republicans of Hennepin can be alb.
soutely sfranchsed far having any voice in the
state convention concerned And in the city usually
happens that is the progressive element which is dis
franchised.
In primary 40 per would be able to join hands
with every other progressive voter in the state.
The contest between progressive and conservative is
as old as government and will always continue. These
elements clash in conventions and they clash primaries
and in elections but it patent that the progressves
win ofener in elections than they conventions and
they would win oftener in primaries than they do now in
conventions.
Why the progressves can go into convention with an
advantages of delegates large and be defeated and
yet into election where each is yet
win is capable of explanation but the explanation would
be long and involved The fact however, easily estab-
lished by consulting history.
The cities need have fear that they would treat
the country unusty they took away the delegates
large and gave the primary.
The main objection to the primary that it does not
give opportunity for deberaion and alternative choice
But that is another story.

 MT. Clark is pioneer of that section. He spent many years there among the Indians long be- fore there was a railroad any place near him. There is little, in fact, in the way of rough experiences through.whieh Mr. Clark has not passed. It was more than 300 miles to the nearest railroad point when he located.

just as the express dashed up she sprang
to safety. Miss Jenkins continued to cling
to the line and was cut to pieces.

mouths, tell of the envious longing that
fills the breasts of too many youngsters
at this season of peace on earth, good
will toward man. Because underneath all
the spirit of good cheer there runs the
dull thread of pathos that the season
brings-the know edse of little aching
hearts, sore because of fruitless longing;
the knowledge that there are those,
hundreds of them, for whom Christmas
is a time of mockery and the bitterness
of unavailinS envy and the certainty or

empty in the squalid homes of those chill
