The time and place to start right,
In this political mix up that is COM
ing on, is at the very beginning the
Caucus. If you allow two or three
men to name the delegates to the
county conventions, it is almost
equivalent to allowing them to name
the entire delegation to the state
convention from your county. But
this can be prevented by all attend
ing the caucuses. If you have any
choice in candidates. or are not sat
isfied with the way things are rum
ming. you should certainly express
your choice and give vent to your
views by casting your ballot at the
caucus. The people can be trusted
to do the right thing. but they should
be careful not to allow matters of
this kind to go by default. Voters,
be sure and attend the caucuses this
year.-Interlake Tribune.
Ed Weaver, Mankato's we'll known
perpetual office holder, has announc-
ed his intention of contesting for the
Republican nomination for governor.
Mr.. Weaver lives in the same town
with Gov. Eberhart, and is looked
upon as good vote getter in that
locality. His entrance into the gov
ernorship fight is undoubtedly part
of a well laid plan to split the gov
errors home support, and if poss-
ible he is to be entirely deprived of
it. A bitter fight for control of Blue
Earth county is now a certainty.
Weaver has lived in Mankato since
1879 and most of that time he has
been an officeholder. He has been
county auditor since 1900, was mayor
four years, president of the Mime
sofa state fair board for three years
and member of the state capitol
commission from 1896 to 1907.
Weaver is strong Roosevelt man
and will be counted upon to bring
the Second congressional district in
to line for the famous rough rider.

AS Secretary of State, Julius
Schmahl has made good and for that
reason is entitled to another term.
Furthermore, he is the only German
American holding an important state
office and that sturdy race is entitled
to just recognition.-The Manahga
Journal.
The gubernatorial situationin Min
nesota, at least as far as the Repub-
licans are concerned, has become a
trifie more complicated since Edgar
Weaver, County auditor of Blue
Earth county on Monday announced
himself as candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. He
also has been unable to withstand
the pressure and urging of his
friends to get into the race. This
will mean a spirited contest in Blue
Earth county between the. friends of
Governor Eberhart and Ed. Weaver,
and may mean Eberhart's ultimate
| defeat in the convention. New Ulm

Banking on the expected resigna-
ton of Judge P. +. Brown from the
supreme bench, Duluth men several
Gays ago put in a petition for the APP
pointmenu of Judge Homer B. Dib-
ell, who was a candidate for the nom
nation at the time it was won by
Judge Brown two years ago. They
went further and asked for the APP
pointment of Oscar j Larson, Du-
luth attorney, to the district court
bench to succeed Judge Dibell. The
announcement of Judge Brown that
his health has improved and that he
will return to work next week has
spoiled the plan and also the pro-
jected appointment of Judge J. FL.
