dorsement OF W. S. Hammond, the
democratic candidate for governor,
by John Lind. The communication
is published at the request of dem
ocratic friend. The Union is not a
hide-bound partisan newspaper. We
believe in treating our political op-
ponents fairly, although ten years
ago the writer of these lines was &C
corded scant courtesy by John Lind
and the other leaders and managers
of the democratic party. If Mr..
Lind was right six years ago when
he earnestly espoused the cause of
county option and vigorously urged
the election of an avowed county op-
Zionist: James Gray, to the COVER
nor's office, he is wrong now. That
is all the comment we care to make
on his letter.

The prohibitionists are denouncing

an article wherein certain leaders of

the forces of temperance pickering

small wonder that the temperance
movement is being retarded. Mean

Illinois has a governor who clearly

If Minnesota secures a good system

They are about to start a skunk
farm at Bemidji. AS the territory
has been declared "dry'' by the

that section. The effluvia emanat-

HON. YIN. r.. LEES BROADNESS.

In 1901, when the state board of
control was first established, G. A.
Morey of Winona, William E.. Lee
of Long Prairie, and S. W. Leavett
of Litchfeld were the charter men,
bers- Messrs. Morey and Lee we're
republicans and MIR. Leavett was a
democrat. Mr.. Morey met with an
accident shortly after his appoint
ment and resigned, and the late O.
B. Gould of Winona was appointed
in his stead.
In the summers of 1901 a deter
mined effort was made to have the
board remove Frank L. Randall, who
was superintendent of the ST. Cloud
reformatory, and John Coleman. who
was superintendent of the Anoka in
sane hospital. No charges were pre-
ferred against either of these men.
1t was admitted that they we're both
good and efficient officers. but they
were democrats Two republicans
wanted their jobs. The petition of
one of these republicans was signed
by both United States senators, all
the members of congress from this
state and several hundred other
prominent republicans, and besides
the applicant was a irst-class man.
The same is true Of the applicant for
the other position and he had equally
strong backing. Tremendous pressure
was brought to bear on the governor,
and we suspect that he secretly
favored the removal of Randall and
Coleman. A delegation of..5O visited
the state auditors Office and impor-
tuned him to use his influence with
| the board of control in favor of the
changes. The then state auditor,
the writer of these lines, was the
author of the board of control law.
We were fearful that the board
would yield to the great pressure,
but our fears were: unfounded.
When large delegation waited on
the board and virtually demanded
the removal of Mr.. Coleman, Mr..
Lee acted as spokesman for the
board and without heat or passion
said: <..- --.~ 3. al.
"Gentlemen, this board is sup.
posed to be non partisan. Mr.. Dunn
informs me that one of the main
arguments urged against the law by

SCH4LL Is ILL RIGHT.

PernapS Ghere is a Federal law
that requires a member of congress
to be resident of the district which
he represents, but we are not aware
of it. We are slightly familiar with
the statutes of Minnesota but plead
guilty to ignorance of most of the
Federal enactments.
The Anoka Herald claims to have
discovered that Thomas D. Schall,
the progressive candidate for con-
gress in the new Tenth congressional
district, is not a resident of the dis
trict, hence if elected he would be
disqualified.
We do not know where Mr.. Schall
resides, but he is certainly resident
of the state of Minnesota, and, &C
cording to the constitution of the
United States, that is all that is
necessary.
Paragraph 2, section 2, article l,
of the constitution of the United
States reads as follows: mo person
shall be representative who shall
not have attained to the age of 25
years and been seven years a citizen
of the United States, and who shall
not, when elected, be an inhabitant
of that state in which he shall be
chosen.''
Away back in 1878 the late
Ignatius Donnelly, then a resident
of Dakota county. in the Second con-
gressional district, was a candidate
for congress in the Third congress
sional district against the late VIM.
D. Washburn, and no one questioned
Mr.. Donnelly's. eligibility.
There is nothing to the Herald's
contention. If Mr.. Schall is elected
he will qualify and serve as member
of congress from the Tenth district.
We have known Mr.. Schall as a
student at Ham]ine University, and
we know that he was held in high
esteem by the faculty and his fellow
students. We know that in the state
oratorical contest the last year he
was at Hamline he was awarded first
place. He was our friend in the
nasty campaign of 1904. He is sorely
afflicted now-he is blind! but the
brightest man in either branch of
the United States congress at the
present tinle-Senator Gore-is like
wise afflicted. 49,.
In conclusion, we believe Mr..
Schall would creditab]y represent the
new Tenth district in congress and
THAT he would be true to the best in
terests Of the. people, and if we live
to 60 to the polls next Tuesday our
vote shall be recorded for Thomas D.
Schall.

VICIOUS.
"a most vicious fight is being
made on G. S. Hunt, in his candi-
dacy for the legislature in the Sher-
burne- Mile Lacs-K anabec district.
s;'rhe fight is being made by some of
the old time politicians, who know
that Mr.. Hunt is man of too much
ability and independence to be
handled by them.
''They are spreading the report
that he is being aided by the brew
cries of the Twin Cities, and that
he is the saloon candidate. This is
as vicious as it is false.
''Mr. Hunt is one of the best men
of the district, man who has the
respect of his neighbors and his
fellow townsmen. He is clean,
honest, and successful farmer and
stock breeder. He is especially we'll
qualified to represent his district,
and he will seek to serve only the
people of his district and will be
found supporting all good legislation.
'"The opposition to Mr.. Hunt is
mixture of selfshness, political cum
ming, falsehood and pure cussedness.
The decent people of his district
should rebuke the malicious fight
made on him by giving him an OVER
whelming majority. He is worthy

Y, E. BOY TAKING
RAILROAD COURSE

Clinton Spur, graduate of the Val
ley City High school and law and
arts graduate of Yale, is now nearing
the top in a railroading course in the
Baltimore and Ohio system, his pres
ent home being in Philadelphia. He
has the honor of being asked to man.
age the opening of the New Stadium
at New Haven.
This Bowl" as it is called, is the
latest thing in athletic stadiums,
Americas greatest and most complete
football stadium. It will seat 5000
people and provided room for over
1000 automobiles and calls for 1000
ushers. Mr.. Spur gained notoriety
while a student at Yale not only for
being one of the most brilliant stu
dents in the institution but for his
efficiency in acting in the capacity of
assistant athletic manager in which pc.
sition he had full charge of all games.
The manager writes Mr.. Spur that he
cannot undertake this dedication
"alone," and insists that Spur must
come to New Haven and take direct
charge. This not only is tribute to
Mr.. Spurs executive ability but It car
ries large salary with it.
This is but one of the many Incl
dents that mark Clinton as young
man of most rare accomplishments
whose future we may watch with ex
pectation. Valley City High is much

NORMAL SCHOOL PLANS
COMMUNITY COOPERATION
TO EXTEND MUSIC INSTRUCTION
TO VARIOUS TOWNS NEAR
VALLEY CITY.

A high class of music instruction in
neighboring towns is the latest en-
deavor of the State Normal school
here in its policy of community COOP
Grafton. That the endeavor of the
Normal school is appreciated is evil
denced by the fact that already no
less than four communities have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity. AS
result four music teachers will leave
Valley City on early trains next Mon
day morning, spend the day in giving
| instruction and return home in the ev-
ening.
AS present plans have been worked
out during the past week, advanced
students of the department of music
will offer private instruction in piano
=, each of these towns on each Mon
, cay during the term In most instan-
ces this advanced student, having had
thorough training IN public school
music, will supervise the music in the
grades Of the school in the towns Wis
ited At the same time steps have
been taken toward the organization of
town band or orchestra. These or
CARNATIONS will be directed, and pri-
vate lessons given once each week by
another instructor
Each week the student teacher will
meet with the music faculty OF the
Normal school for careful coaching
and suggestions on how best to con-
duct the work. A careful supervision
over the work of the advanced student
will guarantee excellent instruction.
Private piano lessons will be con-
Quoted for term of twelve weeks at
the rate Of fifty cents a lesson, to
