Writes a Discouraged Wife.
BY NlYOLA GREELEY-SMITH.

When City Magistrate Freschi
remarked the other day that all un-
happy marriages have their origin
In little things he uttered a truth
which even those who had never en-
countered 1t before must have recog-
nized as a self-evident proposition.
Nearly all Of us are adequate to the
great crises Of married life. 1. Is
far easier to rise to a catastrophe

At present writing Judge Smith is
undoubtedly in the lead. He is a
much stronger candidate than Nye,

is being made against him by the
progressive Republicans whose oppo.
sition to Nye caused him to tender
his resignation. We believe that the

The record made by Mr.. Ringdal in
the state legislature stands to his
credit. He has always been on the
side of the people against the corpor-
ate interests and is the pioneer pro-
gressive of Minnesota. Seventeen
years ago he introduced the Distance
Tariff bill in the Senate and support
ed 1t with resolution for obtaining
the physical valuation of railroads.
Through his efforts the Anderson
railroad bill was passed by a scratch.

The so-called Sons of Liberty, dis
ciples of Watson Of Georgia, and
Walker Of Aurora, Mo-. have picked
out a candidate for Congress in this
city to defeat Judge Smith and Thos.
P. Dwyer, because they are members
In good standing of the Catholic
Church. The name of their candi-
date is Thomas D. Schall, blind man
who is on the Roosevelt ticket. The
object of running him is to beat Judge
Smith by dividing the Republican
vote. T. P. Dwyer is no favorite of
theirs and Latimer, the Socialist, may
gain by the operation.
The Irish Standard, in the cause of
true Americanism, calls upon every
voter to rebuke the Vaccinations of
such pseudo patriots by supporting
both Dwyer and Smith, the nominees
Of their respective parties, and allow
Ing Schall to remain in the obscurity,
out of which he has recently emerged,

distinction Of being the only alderman

collection of Irish publications in the

REGAIN IN FOURTH DISTRICT.

There are three candidates in the
field to represent the Fourth Congress
sional district of Minnesota at Wash
ington, namely, Fred c. Stevens, the
present incumbent; Hugh T. Halbert,
Progressive, and James ]. Regain,
Democrat, all of. whom are residents
of st. Paul and worthy citizens in ev-
cry way. Stevens has held the seat
for Is years. He is native of Bos-
ton, an attorney by profession, and
has been in politics for a quarter of
century. Mr.. Halbert is also an at
torney in good standing and an active
politician. Regain is business man
who at present occupies the position
Of national president of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in the United
States OF the three candidates for
Congress Regain is the choice of the
Irish Standard. We believe he pos
sesses the ability to fill the Office
SAOuAeoOAy oAu AdA A1OA0 5UCC055-
fully than either of his rivals dur
ing Democratic administration with
Wilson as president We therefore
call upon all loyal Democrats in the
Fourth Congressional district to vote
for Regain in preference to either of
his competitors.
The impression prevails that Mr..
Stevens has served long enough and
that change is very desirable. We
have not his record before us, but
from our recollection we believe he
Is q standpatter of the Republican
party and is non-progressive from ev-
cry point of view. His attitude on
the Panama canal question is not sat-
lsfactory. The support accorded him
by the corporation press is sufficient
cause for his compulsory retirement
The candidate of the Bull Moose par
ty is an able and popular man who
undoubtedly will draw heavily from
Stevens and help elect Regain by a
triumphant plurality. The Republic
ans are SO badly divided in the dis
trict that we feel confident of Regans
election on next Tuesday We would
urge our Democratic friends to give
him their undivided support. That
| will be enough to elect him, even If
no Republicans come to his aid.

T. D. O'Brien, former Judge of the

at the Court House in Owatonna. He

votes for the Democratic candidates.
