A good many people will be disposed

1t is little surprising that when the
Democratic party of Minnesota is look
ing for a strong man as candidate
for governor it doesn't pick Senator
julius Collier of Shakopee. The sena-
tor is an able fellow, he is a polished
orator and is never afraid to speak his
mind freely on questions of public in
terest.-Brown's Valley Tribune.
minnesota is state which is find

It gives US pain to see some news
paper like the New York Press worry
itself into frenzy over the fact that
w. J. Bryan accepts an occasional in

mines and mining land assessments
this year will approximate 40 per cent
of the total valuation of the real es-
tate in Minnesota" whereas but few
years ago "these items amounted to
but Ia per cent of the total1o This is
