A Tribute!

WI TH the passing of John Lind, former COVER
M nor of Minnesota and holder of many posi-
w tions of trust, the state has lost one of it's
most picturesque characters. He had long identified
himself with those movements which speak for pro-
gress and the betterment the state and nation and
interested alike in the affairs of the city, his
state and the country as whole While ideaist in
politics his honorable and will in
fuence for permanent good all those with whom he
had come in contact

" HOSE people who were fortunate enough to hear
J. v. Webers opening speech in his campaign
- for State Senator from the Twelfth District
which broadcasted from radio station WNAX of
Yankton, South Dakota, Monday September Is, could
not help but be impressed by the hghmindedness and
sincerity of the candidate. Mr. Weber needs in
PRODUCTION the people of this section of Minnesota
AS publisher of the Murray County Herald Of Stay
ton of the better weeklies of the state he has
long been before the public and through his paper has
constantly worked for the betterment of his commune
ty and district.
His decision, not to use his editorial column
to further his candidacy in spite of the fact that it
would mean great help in bringing about his cleo
ton, is in keeping with the high ethical standard
which his paper has always maintained

w HILE this is a free country and there is no
M bar to any citizen aspiring entering the
w lists for public office, we do not believe that
just because a man does enter the lists the public
should fall itself ousting public servant who
is there making good.
in point is the office of congressman from
the Second district of Minnesota, held by the
Hon. Frank Clague Of Redwood Falls. Dr. L. A.
Fritsche OF New Um, is an opponent of the incumb-
ent official, and recently paid The Times very pleas
ant call. He is fine appearing, cultured gentleman,
and doubt, if successful this fall, will be worthy
representve of the district in the lower house of the
national legislative body.
Be that as it may, and much as we would like to
do all for DR.. Frtsche out of respect for his
very evident qualifications cannot feel that there
is any reason why should turn back upon Con-
gresham Clague, than whom there is in
fuentia nor one any generally respected and
deferred to in the House of Representatives Not only
have the interests of the Second district been exped
itously looked after, but Congressman Clague has
been able to keep his home fences intact with none
of the disgusting sectionasm and utter disregard of
the welfare of the whole nation which makes view
of Legislative machinery in action often such
a sad spectacle.
Mr. Cague's usefulness to the Second district and
the United States of America should have quite a
number of years to before he becomes subject
for replacement. Until that time comes, what little
feeble influence We may exert will be in his behalf.
