Minnesota Republicans will be compelled
to hold another elimination congress next
year if they would present any sort of
united front at the election The candi-
dates who seek the distinction of being
defeated by Hammond next year include
William E. Lee, Congressman Lindbergh,
James A. Peterson and Sam Iverson, and
as the season is still early we may expect
to see that list doubled.-Belle Plaine
Herald.
The friends of Col. Fred Hadley OF the
Winnebago Enterprise are talking him up
for governor Fred is fine gentleman.
He possesses the mind of Gladstone, the
eloquence of Webster and the courtly
manners of Chesterfield. These are quail
tiles that go long ways toward making a
man fit to grace the governors chair.

| A child who, in the hour of his greatest
achievement, repudiates and reviles his
parents, and then in later hour OF need
returns and begs to be restored to his for
mer place, is one of the worlds most con-
temptible creatures. Knowing of his act.
| few, people would trust him. Yet he is
only comparatively worse than the man
who repudiates and reviles the political
party that has honored him with the high
est office within it's gifts and then when
his term is about to expire, returns to
the party and begs re-election.-Luverne

A strange looking formation is to be

tiny willow roots seven inches indiameter
| that was taken from the seven inch tile
on R. Fierke's farm, a few miles northeast
of Blue Earth, on Section SO, Prescott
township. It is solid mass and extended

It is fashionable nowadays to speak of be-
nighted Europe-but in Europe when
things like this happen, they hang the per-

With VIM. J. Bryan talking in favor of
prohibition in Ohio, President Wilson for

! Selfshness kills more towns than any
other cause. When you find town where
| it's business men look only to their own ag-
grandizement, look for the writing on the
wall. No place has ever yet prospered UNI
| less it's citizens went to work on a universal
platform Of the greatest good to the great
est number. One-eyed ideas will not win;
nor will selfish desire to lmonopolize all
the business in town. Work together for
the common good, for unless your town
prospers, you cannot hope to prosper

DR. Lyman Abbott remains unalterably
opposed to woman suffrage, but his son
| is for it. Hamilton Wright Mabie is
against, it, but his daughter is for it. At
the very time Mr.. Taft was arguing
against suffrage, his daughter was mem
Der Of the Equal Suffrage league. Grover
Cleveland's widow is president Of the An
ti-suffrage association at Princeton, but
| his two daughters are ardent workers for
votes for women. In the west, families
are united on it, but in the east it runs
sword between two generations. New
