the wholesale trade of the American oil
producers, as the REGGIE" would buy It's
oil from America. But the official reports

different light for II Is made to appear
that back Of the German plan is one OF
the most powerful German banks. the
head OF which is strongly opposed to oil
competition from America. This bank and
others connected with 1t are represented
TO be largely interested in Austrian, Rus
sian and Servian oil fields.
At present the total oil importation into
Germany amounts to $4,000 tons annually,
of which 40 3Ol is from the United States.

A GOOD TICKET

At the head of this column APP
pears ticket that The Herald
believes will appeal to tie peo-
pie.
The first name is household
word. Theodore Roosevelt is
easily the greatest man in the
world today. His few years of
retirement have only endeared
him to the American people.
There is great and constantly
growing demand for his distin.
guiShed services in the presi.
Dental chair for another term.
President Taft is in bad with
the plain people. Some of the
exposition to and lack of conf
dence in Mr.. Taft undoubtedly
is unfair and unfounded. But
the fact remains that a majority
of the people desire change.
And when looking for a man to
fill the place, eyes turn to Theo-
dore Roosevelt. T h e Herald
looks upon his nomination not
only as possible but as extreme
ly probable. The Herald be-
lieves fthatsresult is the only sat-
isfactory solution of a vexed
problem.
The candidacy of Alvah East
man has elected support from
all over the state. Mr.. Eastman
was forced into the field by his
newspaper friends. To date no
one has appeared against him
and the probabilities are that, so
far as the republicans are con-
eerned, there will be no other
candidate. That means that
Mr.. Eastman will be nominated
and elected and that Minnesota
will have congressman at-large
of whom all, especially h G
country publisher, will be justly
proud.
There is need of a Ii t t {
