rWdshnQtonL Letter
1y " HDaley

Washington, December 2-Practical
politicians as represented ON the Re-
publican and Democratic Nation l
Committees have a college problem on
their hands. These directing groups
will meet this month and next for the
purpose of shaping the 1892 PreSi-
DENTAL campaign. If they have con-
suited the reliable political almanac
the master minds will realize that the
session Of the Electoral College
which, under the Law, must convene
the second Wednesday i'm February of
1888, may furnish them with trouble
through notification of their best laid
schemes of conquest. Those with an
ear to the ground say the prospects
for formation of powe full third party
are excellent The predictions are
that a strong Independent ticket will
serve as a wedge and drive the Presi-
Dental contest into a deadlock and
probably election of President and
Vice President by Congress.
Not one out of a thousand persons
knows how the Electoral College
functions. It is sufficient that the
system has stood the test of time The
latest development in politics is the
effective recruiting in the states west
OF the Mississippi River. Indications
are that third party may project
itself into the political arena Within
few weeks At present the organ

Preparations for the seventeenth

more equalling that of the price of a
bushel of potatoes, many farmers
recognize the Importance of the chick
ems as a profitable source of farm in
come, and are giving more and more
attention to care of their poultry
flocks. The poultry show is good
place to learn more about poultry,
to see the best specimens of the var
ious breeds, and to meet other poultry
raisers and exchange ideas.
At the show to be held i'm Hinckley
on December 10, II and ~ there will
be probably 600 to 700 head of poul-
try, valuable specimens raised and
owned by some of Pine county's lead

try fancier, exhibit some of your best
birds and try for the prizes offered.

wish one, phone or write Mr.. Appleby,
secretary, and he will gladly mail you
one. MIR. Willrett also has a quantity
of premium lists for those interested.

colorful array of birds. There will be
exhibits of bantams, leghorns of var
ious kinds, geese, ducks and the lord

Governor OIsOn's Farm Plan
By KNUD WEFALD

mentS, the day after the conference,
that the governor had in a manner
put the delegation on the spot
He surely did, and Farmer-Labor men

the governor put them on the spot

The Governors Plan Sound.
There is nothing unsound in the
governors plan to ask Congress for
$37,OOO,OOO with which to refinance
Rural Credit bonds. There is raised
against the governors plan the argu-
ment that the Minnesota Rural Cred
its Bureau is an institution that COM
petes with the Federal Farm loan
institution, and that it is the inten-
ton to make lower rate of interest
to the farmers, through the Rural
Credits Bureau, than those farmers
will have to pay who have their loans
with the Federal institution. There
is no force to such an argument. The
Minnesota state loaning institution
only supplements the work that is
being done by the Federal Farm Loan
institution. Interest rates charged by
the Federal Farm loan institution are
too high and must come down, as
also must the interest rates on loans
made by the state of Minnesota. Had
the federal government supplied suf-
ficient facilities, when the after-war
crisis came on, to take care of the
farmers need for financial assistance,
the Minnesota state loaning institu-
tion would never have had to be es-
tablished. The state of Minnesota
took upon itself a responsibility that

So many requests to appear in Europe
