Grant County Herald: Just because
the presidential primary was not a
bowling success, don't kill it. Under
the primary system, party control is
not left in a few hands. The conven-
ton system is the rule of lew. The
primary system is the rule of the peo-
pie. The present primary has it's
faults. Let's correct them, rather
than allow the unpopularity of the
present law to convince US OF it's en-
tire unftness.

Litchfield News-Ledger: The Led

most earnest in it's advocacy of the
re-appoinment of Carlos Avery to that
position. He is the most able, con-
scientious and painstaking man this
state has ever had in that position.

st. Cloud Times: Hon. w. F.. Don
ohue has fled as democratic candi-
date for congress in this district. He
will receive the nomination without
opposition, for there is nothing in the
history Of past campaigns to encour-
age a democrat. However, there is
every reason why Buchanan, who bids
fair to be the republican candidate,
should be defeated. Mr.. Donohue is
clean man, of honesty and high
character. He should receive the sup
port Of all citizens who favor incor-
ruptibility in office.

The newspapers announce that there
is to be a new deal in the timber bu-
reau of the state auditors office,
that henceforth methods will BE-
adopted which will prevent frauds
against the state by loggers. The
implication is quite clear that the
previous administration of the timber
bureau has not been good, to say the
least. Those formerly in charge of
that bureau can discuss the matter if
they wish. If it is true, as stated,
that logging interests have, plundered
the state Of large sums, let the in
vestigation 60 on without fear or
favor. It is pretty generally believ-
ed that Minnesota has had many
"long ax'' timber thieves. It will
be a pleasure to the people to learn
that such a belief is unfounded, but
if it is true there should be no hest
fancy about action. Justice should
not stop with the man who has a lit
tie mill and cuts few thousand feet
of logs more than he should and per-
maps in some cases unintentional;y.
State Auditor Preus can perform a
great service to the state by "clean-
ing up" wherever required.

Not an ambassadorship, not diplo-
matte position of any kind, not a high
position of any kind in any depart
ment at .Washington,-that is the
"great" recognition the Minnesota
democracy has received, the demo-
cracy which sent delegation to Bal
timore which stood pat for Wilson,
even when: the national committeeman
wanted to switch. Evidently things
won't Sc much different in the fu-
ture unless Minnesota has different
representative. If A. G. Weiss or D..
D. DAILY or A. l.. sortor had been ma.
tional committeeman, things would
have been,tvery different. These men
have a. desire to see the party har-
moniops. and united, and would con-
slider such a consummation of more
importanss' than selling live stock to
foreign :; governments.
The 'sixtyrtwo thousand republican

Melrose Beacon: Hon. w. F. Dono-
hue of this city on Monday fled as a
democratic candidate for Congress
from the Sixth district and every in
dication points to his nomination Mr..
Donohue recently led the field in the
vote for delegate to the democratic
national convention and he has a
standing throughout the district that
practically insures his nomination. As
the democratic candidate there is lit
tie doubt that he will at least make
a big inroad into !he normal republic
can majority in the district. The peo-
pie Of Stearns county, especially, will
give him their enthusiastic support.
Mr.. Donohue is one of the state 3
best known attorneys and has had
long experience in politics. He served
in the state legislature in The session
Of 1899, was county attorney from
1901 to 1909 and was a candidate for
attorney general on the democratic
ticket in 1912. A man of exceptional
ability, unquestioned honesty and a
most enviable reputation, he will
prove the strongest candidat the
democrats Of the Sixth district could
name.

Cneney In Minneapolis journal: Ad-
herents Of Fred B. Lynch consider the
question of the national committee
man a closed incident, since the action
Of the delegation Saturday. But no
legal election can take place until the
nominations for president and vice
president are made in St. Louis, and
the anti-Lynch men insist that the
battle is not over.
After elaboration over Sunday, the
ants reason that Lynch is far from
election yet. "With all the Lynch
men present. said one of the oppo-
sition, "they were able to muster just
Ii votes for the Endorsement, bare
majority, and one Of those votes was
cast by an alternate. While G. L.
Kane, his principal, is counted as a
Lynch man, friends of his say he new
er would have stood for the rushing
tactics Saturday. Those who opposed
action OF Saturday were so disguised
that they are now unalterably against
Lynch. He will not be able to get
another vote, and we expect him to
lose some before the election at st.
Louis.
Each side accuses the other of fore
ing the fight. The Lynch men corro-
borate the national committeeman in
his statement that he did not want
another term, but was forced to take
1t because of the fight on him. The
ants "pooh-pooh' this talk.
The organization men say that the
purpose Of forcing the issue Saturday
was to get it out Of the way, so they
could take up the question of state
candidates. Whether in another big
conference, or in smaller meeting
OF the leaders, they intend to agree
soon on the makeup Of state ticket
TO be offered at the primaries.
