/ he is animated with the Eberhart Or
ganization and is candidate of the
interests. There is no evidence to
show that Preus has permitted his
Friendship with Eberhart to interfere
i with the manner in which he has con-
Quoted the office of state insurance
commissioner, and our idea is that
Preus has become a candidate for au-
ditor because he believes he can be
elected. Those papers which are at

mirers of Speaker Rines, will serve
the latter better. by telling of his

Jim Manahan, who aspires to rep
resent the new Tenth congressional
district, is the only representative
| from Minnesota who disgraced him
self by lining up with the shipping
trust and in opposition to the magni-
fcent stand taken by President Will
son regarding the Panama canal tolls
question. If Manahan has no sense
of national honor he has no business
in Congress, and the good people of
the new district, whose support he
is trying to influence with package
of garden seeds, ought to rise in their
might and give him such a "swat"
that he will never again appear IN
public. If we can't get an honor
able Republican let us have decent
Democrat Eagle.
Julius Schmahl has again filed for
the Office Of Secretary of State ably

The great trouble with the opposi-
ton to Eberhart is the fact that they
have failed to produce a man who
would make a Governor as good as
he is. In every case it is desire for
public Office that is the controlling
motive of the candidacy. If success
should attend their efforts, the first
move would be to construct ma

their political life and prolong their
stay in the states pay roll The peo-
pie are not to be fooled by "fustian"
or buncombe and will not be led to
sacrifice faithful public servant in
order to alleviate the itch for office
for others. Unless the campaign to
GUST Eberhart is conducted on broad
err and more solid foundation it is
sure to fall Of it's own weight.-Das-
sci Anchor.
John F. Rosenwald of Madison has
filed for the Republican nomination
for member of the state railroad and
warehouse commission. He will OPP
pose Commissioner Charles F. Staples
of Dakota county, who has been
member of the commission since 1900.
The infusion Of new blood into the
commission may do no harm, though
it has generally been conceded that
Mr.. Staples has been the closest to.

The state Supreme Court says that
Henry Rines of Mora is eligible to run
! for state auditor. J. A. 0. Preus has
decided that j. A. O. Preus is also
eligible for the office. The battle is on,
and we believe that Preus, with the
backing of the powerful Eberhart ma
chine, will be the winner.-Winnebago

There is a strong feeling among the
people who run the grab bags at the
charity fairs that the boys should not
be allowed to play marbles for keeps
this spring-Crookston Times.
| The state tax commission is en-
deavoring to show where the money
raised by taxes in this state goes.
When the commission will have ac-
hieved the end desired and has en-

interesting subject it will have done
good piece of work-Virginia En-
terprise.
Minnesota needs change OF ad-
