The enterprising citizens of
the thriving village of Albany
mean business in their campaign
to secure the county seat of
Stearns county. Albany offers
advantages offered by no other
locality in the county, and that
fact is a strong argument in
favor of county seat removal.

FOR REUNITED PARTY
MOST EARNEST THOUGHTS or
ALL REPUBLICANS NEEDED.
Country Requires the Services Of Pa
triotie- Organization Which Has
50 Thoroughly Proved its
Worth In the Past

Report of scheme to capture the
Republican organization for Roose-
velt's nomination in 1916 is important
mainly as illustrating the difficulties
I'm the way OF reuniting the Repub
lican party. These obstacles may be
divided into two classes. There Is.
first, In each the class whose personal
power and ambition rests In keeping
control OF either Republican or Pro-
gressive faction. There Is further
the probably much larger class. which
distrusts any proposition for union.
because 1t suspects II as cloak to-
let the hated enemy into power again.
The reported scheme will affect the
latter class and may be product OF
the first class for that purpose. But
II should be understood that no ef-
fective union is to be attained by
nominating any man prominently
Identified with either faction In the
quarrel OF last year. The Republican
party is now exactly where the Demo.
cratic party was sixteen years ago.
and the experience Of that party
showed that the breach could not be-
healed by nominating either Bryan
himself second and third time or by
nominating representative of the
opposing wing. II was only when the
Democracy took up candidate whose
political growth was entirely subse-
guent and extraneous to the develop
ment of Organism that 1t was able to
.oalesce sufficiently to take advantage
" the Republican split.
Roosevelt would not therefore az .
Republican candidate unite the Repub.
lean party. We might as well talk OF
uniting It by renominating Taft. The
,ame Is true of the lieutenants most
prominent In the factional fight.
Dixon. Finn or Clapp on one side or
Root, Penrose or Crane on the other.
Possibly some progressive Republicans
ike Hadley. La Toilette or Cummins
night do II. But the probability iB
decided that the mutual jealousy and
'uspicions will persist, 30 that there
will be plenty of time for a man to-
grow up whose name does not recall
he quarrel Of 1912. and who may
therefore, unite the Republicans as
Wilson did the Democrats.
But things will have to change de-
:idedly from the present aspect "
,uch plan OF union becomes feasible
,efore 1920. or perhaps 1924.
