W. HITCHCOCK. Tutered in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., as second class matter. Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Vote “‘Yes.” The two most important mat- ters upon which the people of Minnesota have to vote this fall will be the choice of goverror and the adoption of a constitu- tional amendment increasing tax on the gross ecarnings of rail- roads from three to four per cent. The ckoice of a governor is a personal matter and will bring out the full vote that a -personal question always does, but it is the fate of constitutional amend- ments, no matter how paramount the need for their adoption, to meet defeat by reason of indiffer- ence, We may become violently excited over the election of a official, the discharge of whose duties does not affect us one cent’s worth but meanwhile we totally forget to vote upon a con- stitutional amendent whose adop- tion or rejection may mean the gain or loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is exactly what the gross earnings amendment means. If the people of the state who go to the polls yote on the amendnent, it will be carried. A constitutional amendnent to carry must receive not only more yes votes than no votes but it must receive a clear majority of all the votes cast at the election. Consequently failure to vote on the amendnent is almost equival- ent to voting against it. —_— THE primary election, as to re- publicans, gives an indication of what may be expected at the gen- eral election. there was a contest between Dunn men and their opponents, the Dunn men were overwhelmingly victor- ious. Buckman’s sweeping vie- tory is an illustration. The Dunn influence was thrown sol- idly to Buckman with the result that the congressman -carried eyery county but two in the dis- trict one of these being Col. Fos- ter’s home, So faras the guber- natorial fight is concerned, there would practically be mnothing heard of the matter were it not for the mouthings of a few twin city papers with large circula- tions and it is to these journals that most of the opposition, both republican and democratic, is confined. Wherever THE election this week illus trates forcibly how much thicker blood is than water and shows once again that nationality must always be taken into account in reckoning a candidates vote. A striking instance is found in a vote for a certain office in Polk county. One of the candidates was a Scandinayian and had held office two terms; his opponent was an Irishman. Both men were able, honest and well known. In the cities the Irish- man ran far ahead and his elec- tion was conceded by from 300 to 400 votes, But the returns from the east end of the county thickly settled, where only one man in a thousand is anything but a Scan- dinavain, began to ceme in and the Scandinavian office holder wasgiven a third term by three votes. ONE of the hardest contests of the primary election campaign in the state was that in Wadena, Hubbard and Todd counties for the seat in the legislature vacat- ed by Dr. Babcock of Wadena. The result was'a decisivse defeat for W. K. Verity and a triumph for Charles Eastman thes: “twol b; man standing for two bitterly opposed factions of the republi- can party in Wadena county. Judge Asher Murry is the repre- sentative elect having carried Wadena county by 400 majority and losing Todd and Hubbard by less than 100 each. The contest was particuiarly interesting be- cause of -the bitter fight in the district two years ago when the Verity wing of the party won out by a narrow margin by the elec- tion of Dr. Babcock. upon the primary election law by the press through- out the state very generally sup- ports the theory of the law but demands radical amendents, par- ticularly as to the effect of the law in breaking down all political lines, and it is evident that there will be a strong demand in the legislature this winter for a change in the statute which will protect each party from the votes of the others. THE Minneapolis Journal went far out of its way when 1t at- tempted to interfere in the nom- ination of a congressman from the Second district and to secure Congressman McCleary’s defeat. We earnestly hope that the Journal will have as good success in its campaign against R. C. Dunn. McCleary carried -every county in the district and is nominated by a vote of more than two to one, WEe shall now be compelled to fall back on the crop estimates and the football scores. rvvvvmmvva PRLTSINO R TH EROM COUNTRYE'% Bagley bagged most of ’em. —0— Foster can now spell it with an cep, 2 Now they have begun to build a jail at Bagley. —0— Hubbard county fair was one of the best ever. —o— Stark for county attorney in Polk is laid ont stiff. —0— “Some one rocked the boat,” says Charlie Eastman, g Editor Cobb will be Clerk of Court Cobbin Hubbard county. —0— Clear Lake pays $5000 for cu- cumbers.

His exposes have nomi- nated and will elect Dunn,” says the Kanabec County Times. —0— There were nine candidates for clerk of court in Ottertail but Jason Kidder famous as a news- paper man and a joker, turned the trick on the other eight. In Praise of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. “Allow me to give you a few words in praise of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,”” says Mr. John Ham- lett, of Hagle Pass, Texas. Il suffered one week with bowel trouble and took all kinds of medicine without getting any re- lief, when my friend, C. Johnson amerchant here, advised me to take this remedy. After taking one dose I felt greatly relieved and when I had- taken the ‘third dose was entirely cured. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this great remedy in the hands of mankind.
