Strange Bed Fellows

Politics makes strange bed fellows" is old
adage and with the third term campaign and pecu-
liar political alignments in both nation and state,
it looks though these bed fellows will be stranger
than ever.
U. S. Senator Henrik Shipstead after 18 years
aligned with the Farmer-Labor movement, has taken
an AL Smith walk" and has filed candidate
for reelection the Republican ticket. His prodgal
return to the Republican fold is probably not
as much desire to again embrace the Republican
principles it is political expediency. He has
always been shrewd in politics and he has not lost
that attribute which placed him in the United States
Senate, when he left the Republican party to be
a candidate the Farmer-Labor ticket
Senator Shipstead has been a great vote getter
and Republicans as we'll other party men and the
independent voters have given him support and have
kept him in office for eighteen years. Although,
elected under the Farmer-Labor banner he has more
less played Independent role in the nation >
capitol, and has swung from one party to the other
strictly party measures.
It is rumored that Farmer-Laborites will go
into the Republican primaries to defeat Senator
Shipstead, well Governor Stassen to make
victory easier for their candidates in the general
election Be that 1t may 1t is almost certain
that Senator Shipstead will carry the Republican
nomination, although feel that Martin Nelson,
former candidate for governor on the Republican
ticket should be entitled to represent the COP
in the general election.

the public Sunday, when exhibits of farm, garden
and home will be display at the County Fair.
The fair reflects the success of farming the indus

larger than those of many years ago, when this
sport was an integral part Of every fair.
All things taken into consideration, this years
Stearns County Fair has all the earmarks of good
show with opportunity for its successful conduct.
Success, however, is not achieved without the CO.

to have large numbers Of entries in the various
departments.
Remember, the fair is not just a show-it Is
an institution formed to keep the various sectors

of the organizations of yesteryear which has not
lost its value through the hustle and hustle of modern
times it is part Of every community in the county

owned by Wrigley.

OF policy, does not say what any
Of them was offered or whether
their 1889 salaries were increased
or decreased. '
The irrepressible Dean cleared
the mystery regarding his contract.
He said he was slashed fnom the
neighborhood of $4,000 to $4,000
and that he wants $4,000. Dean
won six games in 1899.
Leiber's contract completed its
third round trip between here and
his Phoenix, Ariz., home yesterday
and quickly began a fourth trip
without any alteration. The club
asked Big Hank to explain why he
should have more than Wrigley
offered.
Cubs Have Is Signed.
The same treatment was accorded
the others: Unsigned papers were
mailed back without any changes.
Bryant doubtless was given
slash, since he couldn't pitch last
year because of sore arm. The
year before he and Bill Lee pitched
the Cubs to the flag, Bryant win
ming 10 games.
