STILL GROWING.

Sentiment, throughout the state in
favor Of Frank B. Kellogg for United
States senator is still growing.
It must be source Of qualification
to Mr.. Kellogg that Notwithstanding
his announcement that he would not be
a candidate, owing to his disinclina-
tion to go into rough-and- tumble pri-
mary fight, thousands Of admiring
friends and many of the leading coun-
try newspapers of the state continue. to
urge him to reconsider his determine
ton. :,'5s,sf's'
It is noticeable that the demand for
Mr.. Kellogg's candidacy comes largely
from the rural districts Of the state
and not from the large cities. Not a
single metropolitan newspaper has had
a word to say in his behalf. The fact
that Mr.. Kellogg is a farmers son
started life on an Olmstead county
farm, worked his way through school,
always hoed his own row unaided, and
by dint of hard work coupled with an
indomitable spirit and natural ability
climbed to the very top round of his
profession appeals to the country press
and country people generally. !!
Every farmers boy in the stateis or
ought to be proud of Frank B. Kellogg.
His career ought to be an inspiration
and incentive to them. What he has
accomplished other farmer boys can
accomplish.
We could fill columns of the Union
with editorial comments from the best
country newspapers Of the state high
ly eulogistic Of Mr.: Kellogg, but sim
ply give few from widely separated
localities to show the drift of senti-
ment:
There appears to be a growing sentiment in
Minnesota for Frank B. Kellogg as republican
candidate for United States Senator. His
ability is recognized and that is mighty good
| asset.-Stillwater Gazette. -. - j. :
There is strong sentiment in favor of Frank
Kellogg for United States senator by republic
cans in this state. With him and Knute Nell
son the state could justly feel proud Of its
Representatives in the senate.-Slayten Gazette.
If Mr.. Frank Kellogg wanted to know wheth-
err or not his friends were really in earnest in
asking him to for the United States SEN
ate he has had plenty of opportunity to find
out. That he is the peoples choice there is
no doubt and it is pity he cannot be induced
to change his mind and sacrifice his own
feelings for the good of the state and nation
LaPorte News. o.
The editor of the Blue Earth Post says he is
'for Frank B. Kellogg for United States ,sena-
tor even though he has declined to enter the
race" Them's our sentiments. Here is an in
stance where the people should unite and cause
the office to seek the man and reverse the dis
gushing custom of the man seeking the off;c.
Mr.. Kellogg has signifed his willingness to
accept the position if it comes to him, but will
not get together and tender him the office for
which he is so splendidly fitted Preston
Times. -
There is growing demand for Frank B. Kel-
logg to make the race for the United States
Senatorship. Mr.. Kellogg has declined to- run,
taking the erour-~--=::.at he is no hand to go
around soliciting votes. If, however, the Of
fee should seek the man, as it should in this
case. Frank B. Kellogg is undoubtedly the
man that is worth seeking for the senatorship.
He has the ability to fill the high office with
credit to himself, the state and the nation. This
paper gladly lines up in support of Mr.. kel-
