Mr. I. F. Cole, superintendent of
the Oliver Iron Mining company, was
in town Tuesday looking through
Section l6 and other properties with
Agent w. II. Johnston. Mr.. Cole
says that there may have to be some
sretrenchment of operations in the
company's mines, as they have no
place to put the ore at their works
or docks these being filled now to
overlooking. He says this is due to
political conditions wholly. Ghe
company has an immense amount of
orders on hand subject to the
political outcome and if Mckinley is
elected there will be a great rush
to take care of business, He, says
many men have been laid off at the
Pittsburg mills as well as at the coke
ovens, and that they are swamped
with ore at all points. Mr.. Cole says
few people realize the amount of
new work they have subject to Nc
Kinley's election and that similar
conditions, exist at all other big
manufactures in the country. He
says men with money fear Bryan
methods and will wait until after the
election before making extensive pur-
chases in the iron and steel line

We were shown a very interesting
envelope from Finland yesterday.
On August Ia by decree of the Gear,
the Finnish stamps were discon-
tinued throughout Finland and Russ
ian stamps substituted for them.
The order did not take well with the
Finnish people and to show their
disapproval they had mourning
stamps printed in black which they
place on the face of their letters and
then put the Russian stamp on the
back. 1t remains to be seen how

where the League was in control.
The big hope of Townley and his
lieutenants is that Larry" Hodgson
the Democratic nominee will figure in
the $4,000 or 10000 class, which,
according to their way of figuring
will materially help Shipstead, but
they fail to take into consideration
the many handicaps under which the
Glenwood dentist labors Fisrt
there is the brand "Independent"
which in National year is not
altogether attractive, then there. is
the sting of defeat at the June
primaries and further the position
of its candidates on the ticket.
Under the law it will have last place.
Such things may seem silly to the
voter who thinks, but they count
just the same. Propaganda may
spur for the time, but it pals in
the end and Townley and his ambi-
tions are no exception to the rule
the two leader on the ballot this
fall will be Jake Preus and Harry
Hodgson with the former the
favorite.
The 1920 Minnesota State Fair is
now history. 1t was a success in
every respect and the finish saw a
nice balance on the profit side of
the ledger. Naturally the Fair
Board is pleased and the tax paying
public thankful that there is not a
deficit, but-there is not little
criticism and some of the criticism
runs to a fool stunt that marked
the opening day when two gaint
locomotives were turned loose on
each other and the scrap which
resulted was turned over to the
tender mercies of the wrecking con-
Germ. The display had neither ed
vocational or entertaining value and
simply represented malicious de-
struction of property. Men are now
serving time in prison for the
destruction of property much lesss
in value than the two locomotives
which were junked. Possibly old H.
C. L. justified the jump in the price
of admission from SO cents with a
similar increase in the price of ad
mission to- the grand stand, but those
who contributed the extra % cents
do not look upon the increase in that
light. The tax payers of Minnesota
have been generous to a degree in
the matter of the State Fair and are
still prepared to go to the limit
necessary and the profiteering stunt
in the case of admission does not set
welk Legislative action this winter
is not at all unlikely.
Women voters in Minnesota who
wish to take part in the Fall election
would do well to remember that in

Attorney General Hilton are October

10 and 26 in cities of the second

are for male voters also. If

Speaking of Townley and his Non
partisan League word comes that its
treasury has been heavily enriched as
result of an impassioned appeal
for funds made by its National boss
some months ago and that every
effort will be made to put over its
gubernatorial candidate in the Fall.
DIR. Shipstead of Glenwood, who
figures in this capacity despite. his
defeat at the June Primaries, has
been on the hoof for better than a
month now and has so broken down
the barriers of opposition that he
has been permitted to speak at

The biggest majority ever piled
up in Minnesota for a Republican
national candidate was in 1904 when
the voters of the state repudiated the
candidacy of Alton B. Parker the
Democratic presidential nominee by
vote of 55,187 to 216,65l for
Theodore Roosevelt the Republican
nominee. The normal Republican
majority in Minnesota is conceded to
be in the neighborhood of about
100000 and there is every indicat-
ion that with the women voting this
figure will be doubled in the fall.
Even the addition of another 100, 900
would not be surprising. Democracy
probably was never at as low an ebb
in Minnesota as it is at the present
time. While enjoying the fruits OF
National success for the past eight
years in the shape of many federal
plums, save the state from the
clutches of Townleyism via the
Republican party nominees at the
last two regular and primary election
has practically put it on the rocks in
respect to a state organization. AS
to its radical element such has been
swallowed up by the Townley League
and the best conservative element
can do is to lay the ground work
for future success, this its leaders
admit.

The old saw about "as goes Maine
so goes the Union" has been badly
bent on more than one occasion, but
the prophetic feature of this old
political saying seems due for veri-
fication this year. The demand for
change at the National Capitol is
in the very air and Minnesota King
makers would not be bit surprised
if the Gopher state piled up the
biggest Republican majority in Its
history. To explain this feature OF
present day political conditions
covers the National Republican ticket
only, but there is no question but
what the Republican state ticket
headed by j. A. o. Preus will proflt
as esult. While followers OF
such organizations as the Non-parti-
sanLeague and it's political side line
the Farmer-Labor party, the Social
lists and the Prohibitionists will UNI
doubtedly differentiate as between
the National and State ticket and the
majority of the voters when they
affix the cross oppoite the names OF
Harding and Collidge will be
politically consistent all down the
line. Democratic state leaders, for
tilted as they are with one OF the
best gubernatorial candidates in
years, admit this feature of the
game and say that it is the one thing
that hurts. From all accounts, the
consideration at their hands and the
entire state campaign will be given
over to Larry Hodgson intsead. Cox
has no earthly chance in Minnesota
The Gopher state like many other
commonwealth of the union is in
state of political rebellion and those
who have been Analysing the situat-
ion can find little in the way of
comfort for any political subdivision
outside of the Republican party.
Strange to say the Non-partisan
League is said to look upon Senator
Harding with favor in a national way
and there is no doubt that the Ger
nan end of the game in the State
will be heavily republican. This
alliance may not appeal to some, but
the two named have the ballot and
