GOSSIP OF THE PRESS

/ Do they blame Wilson for losing
the international polo cup.-Detroit
Herald.
Now if Huerta will have few pic
lures of himself made to 60 with an
article on "How / Got Out From IN
der" the magazines will surely buy
it.-Red Lake Falls Gazette.
Several worthy Minnesota men look
with yearning on the seat of Senator
Clapp, which will be to refill two
years hence. The one thing that
seems reasonably definite is that Clapp
himself will not be the man. Min
neapolis Tribune.
Governor Eberhart says he will sup
port William Lee, even if Lee didn't
support him two years ago. Which
statement shows that Agile Adolph
still has his weather eye on Nose
-Clapp's seat in the United States
Waseca Herald.
What in thunder has become of
that ripsnorting, untamed and unter-
rified, self-constituted "champeen" of
the "deer peepul"- Jim Manahan?
Was the late avalanche so stunning
that he has given up the ghost
Chaska Herald.
We most emphatically agree with
the Slayton Gazette that "the person
who will not vote for a candidate be-
cause he belongs to this, that or the
other church or to no church is not
an American citizen in the proper
sense of the term. "-Brainerd Trib-
une.
When an employee of the state, be
he governor or cuspidor cleaner, hires
out to another boss his name should
be removed from the payrolls of the
state and vacancy held to exist in
the position or job to which he was
elected or appointed. - Princeton
Union.
The editor of The Times has casual
ly met three citizens who voluntarily
stated that they voted for Lee al
though they were Democrats and
Hammond supporters. Each one of
these men stated that Hammond could
defeat Lee. Undoubtedly Governor
Eberhart was defeated by Democrats
voting for Lee-Roseau Times.
The perpetual scrap between Pease
of the Anoka Union and Dunn of the
Princeton Union furnishes much
amusement for the craft. They really
are fond of each other; are both good
fellows, and, come to think of it, they
both can be as mean as theLord per-
mits men to get away and live, when
they feel that way.-Sauk Center
Herald.
The Washington Herald starts a
boom for Hammond for president. An
other case of fool friends. Hammond
is gubernatorial size without any
question, perhaps presidential as well,
but he cannot, and probably does not,
hope to supplant Wilson as the Demo-
cratic nominee. Only death or a posi-
tive refusal to run can prevent that
gentleman from succeeding himself |
in 1916.-Preston Times.
All this talk of Lee being an easy |
winner at the November election is
pure prediction buster. Eberhart's |
supporters are not bound by any state
ment he may have made that he would |
support the Lee candidacy, and when
the votes are counted we will find
that Hammond's reputation for har-
vestlng Republican votes ID Mime
sofa will be as CONSPICUOUS as ever.
Hammond will be Minnesota's next |
River Blaze.
The Minnesota Progressives have a
toe hold. They succeeded in nominal
ing Lee for Governor With the Gov
ernor's influence they ought to two
years from this time make clean
sweep of the state ticket. With Pro-
gressive Legislature in sight next
winter it follows that we ought to
get some laws that will prove that |
the progressive element is determined
to benefit the people. If such laws
are not passed and inforced there
will be no reason for supporting the
element in the future. - Biwabik /
Times.
