The State Board of Control will, it
is said, under its new head seek pub
licity. Has Mr.. Wheelock since his
installation in Office discovered some
thing? Possibly, however, it is only
the noise of the new broom we are
hearing Mortified News.

says the state law. The law is conser-
vative enough, surely. Why not en-
force it ?-Wheelock's Weekly.
Henry Rfnes, last Speaker Of the
House, who was expected to become a
candidate for state auditor, is now said
to be ineligible for that office, owing
to the fact that the Legislature in
creased the salary. In view of this
fact Mr.. Rines is being mentioned by
his friends as good material for Gov
ernor. Henry is all right and is cap
able of filling any position within the
gift of the people of the state

What a grand scramble there will
be for county Offices at the next cleo
ton! With four year term con-
fronting the successful candidate,
there will be hustling, early and late,
and the voter must be wary indeed to
escape the appeal of the candidate.
We believe this four year term law
has its good and bad features; bad if
an incompetent candidate is elected to
Office, and good enough if a competent
man is successful in attaining the
office he Winnebago Enter

The laws have been published and
promulgated and given the widest
publicity possible but should the read

Congressman Manahan is laughed

the 1914 gubernatorial situation, but

his name, half dozen of them after,
of Swedish descent, a present state

Those rumbling noises of a week
ago were caused by the slipping of
Redwood county into the Second Con-
gressional District. Redwood county
now has real live representative at
Washington in the person of Hon. w.
S. Hammond of st. James, who is al
ways alert to the desires of his con-
stituents. Since the close of the Min
nesota legislative session, Redwood
county is also entitled to an extra
representative. John Fl. Posi-, of San
born, one of the old-timers of the
county, an Independent thinker and
fearless fighter, is the man for the
place and his name should be put on
the ballots next election with Hon.
Jos. Keefe of North Redwood and AL
bert Pfaender of New Ulm as repre-
sentatives of Brown and Redwood
counties. If the Republicans will be
real good and behave themselves now,
they are just as good as the Demo-
