THE SECOND DISTRICT.

Senator Julius E. Haycraft of
Madelia, has filed as the Republican
candidate for Congress in the Second
district James Ruane Is talking Of
performing the same stunt, and no
doubt Frank E. Ellsworth, who has
been the nominee for the last two cleo
lions, will come again.
Senator Clague of Redwood Falls,
Is, also strong probability, and Hon.
Jas. A. Larson, assistant secretary of
state, is being strongly urged by a
host of friends to get into the contest.
The Second district is an anamoly
in Minnesota politics. It is one of
the most reliable Republican dis
tricts in the state, practically every
county In the district being of that
political persuasion. Gov. Eberhart
carried every county in the district
except Brown and Martin and he lost
these by only narrow margins. There
are six Senatorial districts and in
1912 they sent six Republican repre-
sentatives and one Democrat to the
House, and in 1908 they, elected five
Republicans and one DAmecrat to the
Senate. In the Legislature the Second
has the solidest republican represen
tstion Of any district in the state.
In spite Of this for the last thret
terms this reliable Republican distric
has been represented in Congress by ,
Democrat, w. S. Hammond.
In 1904 a bitter fight was waged il

THE DUTY OF CITIZENS.

Owing to the change in our primar!
laws by the last session of the legis-
lature the campaign of 1914 will open
at least three months earlier than in
previous years, and New Years day
will probably see it ushered in in full
blast.
Under our present system there can
he no such thing as drafting a candi-
date, or of the "office seeking the
man" Candidates must offer them
selves to the public and the choice OF
the public is limited to the men who so
offer themselves.
lie there was a man whom nine
tenths Of the Republicans wanted for
Governor there is no legal way he
could be offered nomination unless
he could be persuaded to file for the
nomination, and the same holds true
with all the other political parties; on
the other hand, if an inmate of the
senitentary wanted to run for any
office in the gift of the voters of the
state, his name could be placed on the
primary ballot if he or his friends
would put up. the price.
Very naturally most, if not all, of
the men now holding Office would like
to retain the positions that they now
hold or be promoted to better, and
there are a goodly number that will
entertain the idea that they can serve
the state better than it has been
served and they will not be bashful in
proclaiming the fact, and soon the
voice of the candidate will be heard in
the land, proclaiming his manifest fit
ness for the position to which he as
pires and the absolute unfitness of the
other fellow.
In the next general election full
state, congressional, Legislative and
county tickets will be elected and they
will pass ON more varied and import
ant questions relating to the public
welfare than our public officials have
been called upon to pass for many
years, questions upon which there is a
wide diversity of opinion.
Caucusses are thing of the past,
conventions have been done away with,
there are no legally constituted repre-
sentative gatherings where men are
authorized by law to meet and formu-
late platform declaring what they
desire in the way of legislation, or in
any way express their preference in
regard to candidates and thus give Of
fetal expression to their preferences
to residents of other localities.
Such being the case it becomes the
bounden duty of the members of the
various political parties, in every
voting precinct to voluntarily assemble
at some central point and pass res
olutions as to what they want in the
way of legislation and express their
preference as to whom they desire for
candidates They ought not to stop
here but these precinct gatherings
should select representatives to county
gatherings and from these representa-
tives to state meeting should be Sc
lected to recommend a platform and
candidates to the state at large. Of
course such action would have no legal
binding with any one, nor could it in
any way prevent any from filing for
any office he desired, or promulgating
any platform his fancy might dictate,
BUT such a proceeding would have
great moral effect It is the only way
concerted, intelligent political action
can be secured and satisfaction and
sanity obtain recognition in the
coming campaign

the Republican primaries for the non

the Republican primaries for the nom
nation between Congressman Nc
Cleary, who had represented the dis
trict for ten years, and Gilbert Gut
terson, the former winning out. Me-
Cleary insisted that Gutterson was
unfit for the position, and the latter
maintaining with equal forcefulness
that Nc no longer represented the
sentiment of the district.
McCleary made a prime mistake
in his campaign by challenging Ham
mond the Democratic candidate, to a
Joint debate. Mr.. Hammond has
oeen christened "Battleship". Ham
mond, and the nickname. is very apt.
He is a rather INDECENT New England
Yankee and when in repose he. is a
sort of blotch on the landscape. but
when in action he is magnificent. Mes
challenge stirred him out Of his leth-
ergay, aroused him to action, and in
the debate that followed he wiped the
earth with the Little Scheolmaster."
The next campaign saw a contest
between the veteran Ward of Fair
mont and Frank E. Ellsworth the
young attorney of st. James. This
campaign became very personal and
Ellsworth won out. A foolish speech
delivered by him during the closing
days of the campaign at New Ulm
gave Hammond a walk-away.
In 1912 another foolish, childish
ruction in the Republican party had
the effect of again electing Hammond
over Ellsworth but by reduced ma
jority.
The voters, or at least large ma
jority of them in the district, are not
Democrats. They are not in sympa-
thy with Hammond's political views
and actions. The farmers are espe-
cially displeased with his vote on the
Democratic tariff bill, and however
much they may admire him as man,
they do not stand for ais Democracy.
All the Republicans mentioned as
candidates in this district are good
men. If they carry on the contest in
friendly spirit and when the nomin-
alton is made line up behind the nom
inee, after the next election the dis
tr;ct will be, represented by man
who is in sympathy with the voters OF
the district.
