that If elected Governor ne Will veto
any bills favorable to county option
and woman suffrage. That is putting

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided certain territory
in Northern Minnesota to be "dry ter
ritory" as per treaty with the In
dams in 1856. Well, what about the
treaty of Traverse des Sioux? That
treaty was dry one and if it should
be enforced would cause wall to go
up from towns such as New Ulm. 1t
would also put all Of Lac qui Parle

Col. Roosevelt, after seven months
absence from the country, without ac-
cess to newspapers or other sources
of information, returns home, has a
conference with George w. Perkins,
Boss Finn and few devoted friends
of the people, takes his bass drum
and megaphone in either hand and,
not forgetting the liberal use Of the
personal pronoun, proceeds to get
busy. He tells US that Wilson is a
failure, that he disagrees with ev-
erything he has done and that the
county is going to the dogs. Cannot
something be done to keep this great
constructive statesman home all the
time and thus prevent our country
going to utter ruin ALBERT Lea
Tribune.
If the Republican part is compelled
to swallow Roosevelt and the Pro-
gressive party they will have been
we'll Fletcherized before the absorp-
ton takes place.-Fairmont Sentinel.
Why not change the A. B. C. me-
diation conference into an elimina-
ton conference. Perhaps some plan
could be devised that would make it

An independent Republican Of this
city stated his position on the gov
ernorship question the other day and
it will be found to be the position of
thousands of other voters of progress
sive tendencies throughout the state.
He said: at doesn't cut any figure
with me who is nominated by the
Republicans, Eberhart or Lee, | am
going to vote for Hammond. Eber-
hart is not fit for the position and
Lee has never shown in any way that
he is better qualified than Eberhart
and neither of them has the exper-
fence, ability and general qualifica-
lions of Hammond,"-Albert Lea
| Standard.
Candidates seem to be having a
hard time stirring things up this
year. People are absolutely refuse
ing to get excited and are going quiet
" about their business. Party spirit
and party enthusiasm are dead-killeo
by the very men who are now seek
ing to revive them for their own bene-
/ fit. Politics, as conducted today, is
merely a scramble for Office. There
is no principle at stake, merely a
fight for the loaves and fishes ane
more or less empty honors. 1t is
personal campaign, based largely or
personal abuse of the opponent ant
misrepresentation and lies are uset
as the principal stock in trade. Be
fore November the whole performance
is liable to become disgustingly nau
seating. Times.
Republicans newspapers are max
