THE PRIMARY VOTE DISCLOSED

: THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1888
/ THE PRIMARY VOTE DISCLOSED
that farmers are not being fooled IN, 1888
by any means. They joined a reform party,
whose principles were idealistic. But the
reformers did not reform. These same farm
ers tried to save their party by electing a
candidate who they felt would carry out
these ideals. They failed because ST. Louis
county tipped the scales the other way.
|. And now Senator Vim Weber, in his Stay
ton Herald explains why ST. Louis county
tipped the scales in this way. He and other
representatives from the southern bread
basket section of the state tried to put across
a bill that would take some of the millions
of taxes paid by iron companies and allocate
it to the state at large, rather than to have
range cities and villages spending it so ex-
travagantly. They had heard about the
timber thieves of early days, and how the
grating Republicans had winked at their
actions while they despoiled the people of
the state of their natural resources. They
figured that this wealth of iron ore belongs
to all the people of the state.
| So they introduced a bill to take some
OF this tax money and give it to the people
OF the entire state, to ease their tax burden.
But Governor Benson served notice on the
senate that he would veto the bill if they
passed it, St. Louis county folks are appre-
ciative: And they said it with votes. At
! least that is Vim Webers expanation.-Win-

THE WHOLE BEMIDJI TEACHERS
college building mess is puzzling to Mime
sofa citizens. A committee appointed by
Governor Benson to study the mess brought
in an embarrassing report. The governor
attacked his own committee, but it stuck by
its guns. Now the encouragement, mem
Der of the governors party, agrees that the
contracts are illegal, backing up the COM
mlttee. We undoubtedly haven't heard the
whole story yet.
THE USUALLY DIPLOMATIC SEN
ator Vandenberg miscued in making his
prediction that President Roosevelt will seek
a third term, but will be defeated. AS things
stand it appears that the president needs
only to be "dared' to attempt the race The
senator is therefore asking for the toughest
opposition the Democrats can place in the

SOME OF THE NEWER AUTOMO-
biles are equipped with Illuminated vanity
mirrors so women can see to put on the

the powder puff with the windshield wiper
to make the whole process automatic

! THE NEW PoSToFFICE MAY GLAD
den the heart of the local resident as he
passes by on his way to work but the i'm
proved highway II will cause the rural GUS
toner and to Srist visitor who passes over it
to enter the city smiling. 1888 is another
good year for Redwood Falls

ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HERE,
over at Lynd, they are having a statewide
beauty-talent contest August ID. Twelve
cities have registered contestants but as yet
there is no Redwood county contender. Sure
lly we have candidates on par with the states
best.
STASSEN WANTS TO DEBATE THE
Farmer-Labor record and Benson wants to
talk about how bad government was before
Floyd Olson was elected. Why not admit
both regimes were bad and confne the cam
paign to promises?

I STRANGE ABOUT A POLITICAL
campaign; it reaches fever heat just before
the primary and boils over while the bal
lots are counted. Then it hardly SINNERS
until toward fall when the nominees get out
and warm up for the run-off.
