TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

The republicans of Milaca have
reason to kick. They were promised
a good political speaker, but the
promise was not fulfilled.
The Union has treated all local
candidates impartially. The voters
are perfectly competent to decide be.
tween them without any of our ad.
vice.
| AS the day of election draws nigh
the battle wages hot. The local
candidates are bestirring themselves,
while national and state issues are
not lost sight of. =

At this election we are to have a
triangular fight for superintendent
of schools. O.. J. Dahl is the present
incumbent and the republican candi-
date, Chas. Caine the alliance and
prohibition, and Miss HELEN Barber
the independent. The outcome is
hard to tell as each of them has
quite a following.
MIR. NJ. D. Hudson informs US that
at a meeting of farmers of the town
of Milo, held at Robert A tkinson' Is
house on the 18th inst, Farmers
Alliance was organized and charter
applied for. Robert Atkinson was

Five, just five and no more, Anoka
and Isanti county prohibitionists

Don't get 50 excited over election
matters as to forget the Touring
mill. The call for a special village
election should have appeared in
this issue Of the Union. No matter
who is elected governor or sheriff
the Union proposes to keep agitat-
ing this mill matter. Let the vii.
lage issue four years improvement
bonds to the amount of $4,000, and
let $1,000 be used on our sadly neg.
lected streets. Not one cent of di.
rect tax will be required to pay
either the principal or the interest
on the bonds. The ayes will carry
it by unanimous vote.
Lambert Hatch does not claim tc
be much of farmer. He is quiet,
steady young man who attends to his
own business and does not loaf
around town whining about hard
times and the robber tariff. He has
an 80-acre farm two miles east OF
town, of which he cultivates 20 acres.
This season under unfavorable cir
cumstances he harvested off this &C
acres crops aggregating in value
$500 as follows: Potatoes, $500:
corn, $40; oats, s52.9 80; wheat, $50.
Lambert estimates the expense OF
planting, caring for and harvesting
his little patch at $780, leaving net
profit of $402. 80. ..
