ington a number of terms. He
can accomplish far more for a
single district than he could for
the state at large.
The senatorial situation is
quite complicated. James A..
Peterson of Minneapolis had al
ready announced his candidacy
for Mr., Nelson's seat before Mr..
Lindbergh entered the field.
Both are progressives and both
will have considerable backing,
Mr.. Lindbergh having the ad-
vantage of S YER a It e r m t
Washington. Mr.. Nelson has not
yet defined his position. If he
should decide to retire, he will
go back to private life with a
record of many years spent in
the public service, both state
and national. Mr.. Nelson is one
of the big men in the senate and
at the same time a plain man of
the people. If he stays in the
race, there will be as pretty a
contest as has been seen in Min
nesota for some years.

PROGRfSSIVFS IN THE LEAD

Ii any Intelligent person enter
tanned a doubt of the widespread
interest the "plain people" are
taking in political matters, and
that they believe in progressive
principles, the rapidly moving
events of the past few weeks
must have removed that doubt.
The people have grown tired of
having their political ideas hand
ed to them ready made for un-
questioning consumption. They
are thinking and acting for them
selves. The question Of party
politics cuts comparatively little
figure these days. The leading
men and the managers of both
great political parties are brand
ed with the same trademark,
that of large selfish interests.
Progressive republics MS have all
but nominated Theodore Roose-
welt for president; progressive
democrats are making a mighty
struggle to bring about the nom
ination of Woodrow Wilson.
The reason for this is that the
people have faith in these two
men because the twain stand for
what the people want. The
mere fact that one is a republi-
can and the other democrat
cuts little figure. The Roosevelt
vote and the La Toilette vote
represent manly protest against
the existing order of things.
The man who gets IN the way of
what the people want must eth
er get out of the way or line up
with the people. This is as it
should be; it means that the day
is at hand for the boss to retire
and the people to rule. The pO-
lical party that places the best
man at the head of its ticket, the
man who is the peoples cham
pion, is the party that will win.
The bosses and manipulators are
on the scrap heap and will stay
there, and the man who allies
himself with them will go there
too.

SOME SURPRISES

There have been several ka]e-
idoscopic changes in Minnesota
politics of late. The extra seS-
sion call precipitated a general
breakup along political lines,
with the result thatscores of am
bilious citizens began immedia-
| tely to try to locate themselves.
| What the outcome of the legisla-
tive session will be is problemat-
ical, but it seems fairly probable
that the solons will pass some
kind of a primary law and will
redistrict the state so far as con-
Germs congressman. Whether
they will touch the legislative
appOrtionment is very uncertain
with the chances apparently be-
ing that they will not, for the
present senate, having two
years more to serve, is not like
ly to unseat itself.
The Herald learns, on what
appears to be reliable authority,
that the plan for congressional
reapportionment includes t h e
forming of a tenth district from
portions of the fourth and fifth,
leaving the others stand as they
are. This plan proposes to make
a single district of Ramsey coun-
ty, and to form an additional
district of Anoka, Chisago, Wash
ington, Isanti and part of Henne-
pin, or something of that nature.
If an additional district is
formed, of course there will be
no congressman att a + ge and
that leaves Alvah Eastman out
in the cold. Mr.. Eastmans's
many friends and supporters, es-
pecially among the newspaper
men of the state, who are prac-
tically a unit in supporting him,
resent the shelving of the ST.
CLOUD editor. Just as they were
wondering what was going o
happen next, appeared the an
nouncement that Congressman
G. A. Lindbergh of the sixth
district, that he is a candidate
for the Senate to succeed Knute
Nelson. This cleared the way
for Mr.. Eastman, who Immediate
ly announced his candidacy for
congress to succeed Mr.. Lind
bergh.
The Herald is glad that Mr..
Eastman has gotten into the
race for congressman from the
sixth district. and believes the
republican press of the district
will give him its solid backing.
In the event of his election,
which will in all probability
lcome about. he will be afforded an
opportunity Of serving in Wash,
