ST. PAUL LETTER

itical aSplrant, with designs oil Ihe
Questioning on the part of Alec
preached Alec. McKinzie, the well
known North Dakota politician, for
advice. He was ready to make the
leap, but had misgivings regarding
the future. "Alec" asked the timid
one, chow long is the bunch good
for?" ooh, about seven years" an
swered Alec carelessly. "That is
about as long as most of them last. /"
Questioning on the part Of Alex
brought out the fact that the prospec-
tive had meal ticket; that the vitu-
ais were fair, and would last. Alec's
advice was to forget it. Sept. 29rd
last, the Nonpartisan League, or rath-
er it's official organ the Nonpartisan
Leader, celebrated it's sixth anniver-
sary and League announcement OF the
fact as published in the aforesaid or
gan wah not altogether of the con-
gratulatory kind. The S. o. S. sig
nal was principally in evidence. Olee
was right. The finish is near.

While the predicted finish of the
Nonpartisan League may be in the
sight of all, such must not be taken
as meaning that the end it not going
to be without a struggle. If the best
posted have it right next years cam
paign for political supremacy will be
a hard fought one. Townley, from
all accounts, is going to make it the
fight of his life and the general imam
cial unrest which is now featuring all
lines of activity and industrial en-
deavor is going to be his big bid Tor
support. It would be to tell an I'M
truth to say that political conditions
in Minnesota are now at their best.
They are not and those close to the
agricultural interests in the state are
best qualified to speak on this point.
The farmer has been hard hit and ne
is sore. In the cities there IS much
unemployment. 1t is condition,
however, that no party or individual
is directly responsible for, but, unfor-
tunately, those in the saddle are

the knowledge Of such
going to make his fight accordingly
and the battle is not going to be a
milk and water affair either. CHAIR
man C.. R. Adams of the Republican
State Central Committee is fully ad-
yised of what is in the making and
he is preparing for the fray. But
he must have help, and substantial
help at that.
Accepting the statement of some OF
the state fair officials, next year will
likely see return to the old rate OF
fifty cents as admission to the big
| show, with like figure for the grand
stand and a proportionate reduction
| in other charges. Well, it is about
time and the pity is that at least
part of the proposed reform was moi
put into effect in the case of the fail
Just closed. The present admins
sion fees are entirely too high, ant
If the proposed reduction is not made
the fair management can prepare To-
Legislative interference. It is com
ing. The present fair suffered botl
| in attendance and receipth, but tina
such was due was not unknown TO tn
management. Both the Iowa and tn
| Wisconsin fairs had been hit to a
extent and a similar drop for tn
Minnesota show was expected. TN
Twas predicted on the opening day o
fair officials. The fair itself was with
out criticism. It has never been eS
celled in point Of attractions.
i Another forest fire has come an
lgone and those in charge Of the stat
forests, not to mention the lives an
comfort Of the thousands Of settler
who have elected to make the cutove
sections Of northern Minnesota the
future homes, are cudgeling the
