ly cleaned up,
Remove all rubbish from your. at
tic,, cellar and back yard.

G. B. BUCHANAN.

Brainerd Dispatch: The people Of
the Sixth district have an opportu-
nifty to elect a man to congress whose
knowledge of the affairs in this dis
trict will make him a valuable men,
Der, not only to the district but to
the state and especially the northern
part of Minnesota, and in this re-
spect it may be we'll to add that c..
B. Buchanan has been identified with
the upbuilding of this section of the
state since the early pioneer days. He
has represented his district in both
branches of the legislature and for
several terms he closely watched the
interests of his constituents. So we'll
did he serve the people that he was
sent, to the higher position, and rep
resented; the Sixth district in con-
gress,, and he now asks the republic
cans of the district to endorse his
candidacy for a reelection to the
place he so ably filled. Mr.. Buck
mans election will place a man in
congress who will be at once familiar
with the workings and whose knowl-
edge gained by his previous term as
congressman will be valuable, as he
will not be obliged to form new
acquaintance or spend valuable time
in becoming familiar with the meth
DDS employed. This fact. and Mr..
Buckman's thorough understanding
of conditions, was undoubtedly
strong factor in the cordial reception
that, his candidacy received when the
announcement was made that he
would come befort the people of his
district for their endorsement. Ev-
erywhere throughout the Sixth dis
trict the sentiment is strongly in his
favor and his nomination, which is
equivalent to an election, certainly
seems assured.
