Thinks it Was Skin Game.

Warren Sheaf:. VIM. E. Lee, of
Long Prairie was the man selected by
the so-called "anti-machine" conven-
ton at Minneapolis last week. He had
been busy rounding up delegates for
himself, while, the other aspirants,
Iverson and Peterson, had made no
great efforts in this direction, except
in few scattered localities, hence
they were eliminated and Lee succeed
ed. But to call such a gathering
representative one of the republi-
cans of the state, is a mockery. Few
delegates had been chosen in reg
ular way, many counties were with
out any representation whatever, and
counties having only one or two men
present, whether delegates or not,
were credited with full delegations.
The rank and file of the party was no.
consulted or represented, the whole
affair being in the hands of machine
politicians, who have been in the ha-
bit of running things in the past. And
when the full political history of the
state for 1914 is written, it will be
found that the so-called @anti-ma-
chine" convention was the most CO.
lossal attempt to manipulate poll
tical machine of its own eyer seen in
this state. 1t was to guard against
just such methods that the state wide
primary was inaugurated and in
which every republican can express
bhis choice untrammeled by the dicta-
ton Of self constituted leaders. And
the rank and file of the party, we be-
lieve, will not deal kindly with those
who have tried by this convention to
undo the work of the primary and
foist upon us the old convention sys.
Item with its machine methods. Il
Governor Eberhart runs again, a
now seems probable, he will smash
/ into smithereens this abortivc attempt
to take away from the rank and filt
of the party the right which the stats
1 wide primary gives them to nominate
/ the candidate for governor.

Chances are Bright.

Long Prairie Argus: An exchange
remarks that the Sixth district is mis-
represented at Washington by ques-
ton mark. Well, it won't be misre-
presented if the voters, on June Is,
see to it that the required cross mark
is placed opposite the name of H. J..
Maxfeld, whose candidacy for con-
gress has already been noted in these
columns. Mr.. Maxfeld could hardly
be called question mark when he
was county attorney for Wadena
county and the interrogation mark
was certainly missing when he was at
the head of the state immigration de-
partment. To use the slang phrase,
he delivered the goods" The trouble
with the present incumbent is that no
one knows where he is at, what he
stands for or what craven immage
he will worship next. For nearly
years now, the Sixth district has fig
ured as the small end of Minnesota
delegation at the National Capitol
1t is about time to make a change
and the opportunity lies in the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Maxfeld. Reports receiv-
ed here are to the effect that Mr.
Maxfield is being well received
throughout the district and that the
prospect of his nomination are ex-
tremely bright.

What is a Republican?

Preston Times: What is repub-
lican? It is safe to say that two
thirds of the men, including the
successful candidate, who participated
in the recent rump convention bolted
Taft outright only two years ago, and
yet they now lay claims to being the
only Simon-pure republicans to the
manor born. And supposing Lee is
nominated at the June primaries, how
can he lay claim to the support, Of
regular republicans in November?
Will he and his followers support Eb-
erhart, should he be nominated Prob
ably not, and this brings US back to
the question-what is q republican?
The modern definition seems to be-
to support the particular faction to
which you happen to belong provided
your favorite is nominated, other
wise, bolt.

for the reorganization of az state de-
partments is the appointment of the
efficiency commission. During recent
years legislative appropriations have
increased with enormous rapidity. The
cause is largelysa desire on the part
of the legislative members to supply
the demands of. their respective dis
tricts for state funds. Under our pres
emit system the appropriations of pub
lie funds, the most important work
of the legislature, is placed in the
hands of committee appointed by
the presiding officers of both houses,
and this committee can be made the
most effective club in working out
the policies of political organize
ton. The temptation to secure To-
cal appropriation is often too strong
for the patriotic citizenship of the in
diyidual member to resist. With the
grab-bag method of obtaining appro-
priations now prevalent the member
who does not get his share of the
plumber is too frequently held respon-
sible by his community, because it is
reasonably assumed that if the gates
were thrown wide open for the dis
tributions of appropriations the indi-
vidual member could have obtained his
share had he been effective. His fail
ure to do so is used by his enemies as
a proof that he is not effective and
that accordingly he should be replac-
ed by another man. The system re-
suits in a log-rolling method which
destroys the independence Of the
member of the legislature and opens
the public treasury to raids that are
unjustifed and are crime against
the tax payerstof the state.
There is only one solution, and that
is the budget system of making ap-
preparations, SO that the actual needs
of every state department and insti-
tuition can be presented to the people
before being acted upon by the leg
islature. Instead of crowding all
state appropriations into the last
weeks session of the legislature, they
should be presented in budget form to
the taxpayers in advance of the legis-
lative session. No relief will come un-
til the people themselves are willing
to study and practice economy In
handling the states funds, and in or
der to secure intelligent action on the
part of the people budget showing
in detail all the needs of the various
state departments and institutions
should be prepared and published fol
general distribution.

Butterfat Way Down.
Rock Rapids Reporter: Whether
it is due to the repeal of the tariff
on eggs and butter, the advent of
spring, or some other cause, the
price of these two farm products took
a decided tumble the past few days,
and the farmers are only able to re-
alize about Is cents for eggs and 20
cents for butter on the market. At
the creamery they are paying Fl
cents for butter fat, the lowest price
in years. It is very natural for the
price of eggs to fall at this season,
but that butter should go so low is
cause for comment.

ROAD BUILDERS
MEET At CHANDLER
WORK OF CONSTRUCTING TIE
OZARK TRAIL is NOW UNDER
WAY.

Chandler, okla, June 7.-There's a
whole lot more than mere promises
in the good roads movement recently
inaugurated in Lincoln county, as a
result Of the Ozark Trails associa-
ton meeting held in Tulsa recently.
The road enthusiasts of Lincoln coun-
ty are being assisted by lot of live
wire road boosters in Oklahoma and
Greek counties. These men believe
in doing things.
They started out with the iutcn-
ton of having the Ozari Trail located
along the Frisco railway between Tul-
sa and Oklahoma City and they in
tend to succeed in the undertaking.
Not only have they been holding we'll
attended good roads NEE tings, bat
they are doing actual road work.
In Lincoln county two mammoth
traction engines, hitched to big re-
yersibe road graders, are constantly
at work grading the roads, making a
well-rounded crown and good drains.
The officers of the townships through
which these roads are being built

When shown the above dispatch,
State Highway Commissioner Sidney
Suggs said: You do not know how
it pleases me to see this good roads
enthusiasm developing all over the
country. The ball has been started
to rolling, the noise has been mada
that is heard in every state in the
union, and congress must listen. Ma
tlonal aid for roads is assured. The
congressman who does not stand up
for it cannot be elected The one
thing necessary to keep up the en-
thusiasm is to do the work in man
ner that the people will get value re-
ceived for their time and money. This
can be done by employing competent
engineers, and by preparing a survey
of the work to be done. When roads
are properly drained and properly
built they pay big dividends and 9th.
ers are encouraged to build, but when
one rain will destroy what a hundred
men have been doing for a week,
Encouragement is enthroned and road
work ceases. The hiring of compe.
tent engineers more nearly solves the
problem than the road men now real.

DU CRAY TAKES 60
FROM CHRIS JORDAN

After some of the most brilliant
mat work ever seen here, Frank Du-
Cray came back after losing one fall
in his match with Chris Jordan last
night, and, using the toe hold, took
the last fall and forced the Greek TO
give up the battle.
Jordan went behind early by
/ snagging one of the Dukes drum
sticks but when he tried to cradle his
man, the Duke broke away and the
men went to their feet. Ii looked
for a second as though Frank was in
for an early defeat but Chris could
not hold him down. At ten min
utes Duke was behind and was work
ing crotch hold when Jordan re-
leased himself with brilliant head
spin.
Before Is minutes was up. Jordan
had slipped behind again and for five
minutes the mat work was fast and
furious, first one and then the other
taking the advantage. Jordan show
ed his cleverness by getting to his
feet when Duke had him down by
using variation OF the deadlock. A
moment later and the local man had
TO bridge out of a serious predica-
ment and from that time on Dukes S
defensive work showed to its best ad-
vantage.
The first fall came suddenly. Jor-
dan secured a head scissors and was
working 1t hard when he suddenly
reversed and, holding Duke to the
mat, clamped on a body scissors and
arm bar. Franks shoulders touch
ed the mat with apparent ease.
The second session did not show
Frank up to such good advantage. He
appeared to have outwrestled the Wis
itor In the first period despite the
fact that he lost the fall but in the
second he seemed to be at a loss to
solve the Greeks defense Friends
of the local man all over the big room
were wondering how soon the end
would come when, at So minutes,
Frank saw his opportunity to clamp
ON his deadly pedal grip. When the
proper leverage had been secured he
began to put on the pressure and
Jordan's face convulsed with pain.
A minute later Jordan's feet were in
! the air and 1t seemed that he was
about to free himself. But when the
men settled back to the mat Frank
had his hold clamped in the most ap-
proved manner and escape was i'm
possible. Jordan was begged by Du-
Cray, the referee and the crowd to
quit but he refused until the pain
was unbearable.
Jordan was unable to return for
the third fall although he expressed
Willingness to do SO II the crowd
wished 1t. Emphatically they paid
q tribute to the nervy Athenian by
telling him to keep off the mat
The outcome was decided sur
prise to most of the fans in the house
for 1t came at moment when many
feared that Jordan was certain to
win the contest. m
The Auditorium held a fair sized
crowd. The preliminaries We're good
and the whole evening was intensely
interesting.
