| "Only D man gifted with second sight
would be justified in predicting the out
come of this three-cornertd contest be-
tween Clapp, Eberhart and Kellogg.-Ex.
Well, it certainly doesn't need any sec
ond hearing to hear the first faint notes
of the Clapp swan-song born softly on
winds from the southwark blowing.
81 will 90 further and say that it would
be a mistake to nominate me unless the
country has in it's mood something Of the
heroic R. Roosevelt in New York
Mail.
Ted is right! The country must have
something of the heroic, not only in it's
mood but in it's makeup when it again
dominates him. But why put limit on
the misunderstanding?
Hon. Theodore Christensen says in the
Dawson Sentinel, "The next legislature
will be face to face with the job of amend
ing the primary election law" Well, if
it is there won't be the least use in try
ing to get some of the actually needed
legislation attended to. By the time the
legislature has organized and killed or
fixed this primary election EVIL there
won't he any time left.
Papers of this vicinity are commenting
rather freely on the Milroy man, who,
possessing numerous debts, Cadillac car
and wife, left the debts and the Cad
lilac and disappeared with the wife. We're
moved to wonder what would have been
the disposition of his three possessions
had the car been a Ford. (Now, that's
pretty subtle and you probably won't
grasp it in the first reading but don't get
discouraged.)
Hodges of the Sleepy Eye Dispatch
writes "a Longbottom, travelling rep
resentative at this point for the Interna-
tional Harvester Co. has been enrolled on
the big Herald-Dispatch subscription list.
This just shows what braggart Hodges
| is We've had Mr.. Longbottom on our
paid-in-advance list for some several
years. But we never thought it would
be becoming to the dignity of ourselves
not an honor to the subscriber to stand
up on the fence, flap our wings and crow
about it.
The Cokato Enterprise thinks that Sen
ator Clapp's blunder in voting wrong on
the tabling of the Gore resolution was
due to the fact that the initial letter of
his name comes too near the head of the
alphabet AS the names of the senator's
are called in alphabetical order when a
vote is taken our Minnesota senator had
not had opportunity for seeing how the
cat was going to Jump before he had to
put himself on record. For the honor of
Minnesota it is pity his name had not
begun with X, or Z.-Mankato Review
! What has become of Quentin, who used
to dacorate the back page of the Mime
apolis Tribune with string Of smiles ev-
cry day? We Miss her even if she IS a
Mrs. now.-Winnebago Enterprise.
We don't know where Quent is at just
this minute but she will be at Redwood
Falls in May. Maybe we can persuade
her to stay over until the editors come
to spend the day with us in August. If
you're terribly anxious to know her where
abouts Fred Hadley, call up the editor of
the American Magazine. He knows.
The Browns Valley Tribune says that
| if paper keeps going higher newspaper
publishers will be compelled to raise their
subscription prices and charge more for
all kinds of printing, and satirically at
tributes high prices in general to demo
cratic prosperity" The Panama Canal
slides, the collapse of the Federal league,
the freakish styles of the new spring bon
nets, and the prevalence of fleas in Mex
leo are some of tie other discomforts that
could be blamed on the democratic admin
istration as we'll as not.-New Prague
Times.
The New Prague editor forgot to men
ton the present bad road conditions and
the expected shortage of sauerkraut.
Reports have it that the Canadian Gov
eminent is advising it's people to cut cut
luxuries and economic on the necessar-
les of life. The American people could
reduce the high cost of living fifty per
cent by following the Canadian Govern
ment's advice. '-Vesta Censor.
Could. but they won't. And the next
