No! that was the primary held four weeks ago. | Being a king in the old world. is even worse than being a standpatter in this country. Rudolph-Lee -is something of a fighter, but he will not succeed in stirring up a political fight in the Northern Minnesota Development association. The association has other more important work to do than political - fizhting, except the: sort that will insure the state a fair and early reapportionment—Duluth News Tribune. What was the practical difference between the people who lined up on opposing sides in the recent conser- vation congress at Minneapolis? Everybody shouted for conservation, but not all agreed as to details. The suspicion began to be very strong that the state of affairs was one in which many were swayed by the main-spring of self interest more than they confessed to themselves even in their secret hearts. They were like the little girl at the Sunday school sociable who when fruit was ‘passed, said to her neighbor “why, you sel- fish, greedy thing, to take tbat big red apple! I meant to take that.” Along with the wave of republican liberalism there is traveling a wave against the “No-licensed cause.” It swept our neighboring states months ago and recently swept over the state of Minnesota.. It accounts in part for the Maine ' democratic vic- tory. And now it appears prominent- ly in the Connecticut election re- turns. There is no reason to believe that there is any connection or com- mon cause or bond of sympathy be- tween the two—in fact there- is every reason to hope and believe that republican progressiveism will work to hold in check the liquor evil. . Vet it is curious to note the passing facts. It is pleasing to the Lumber com- panies to note that the Interstate Commerce Commission has postpon- ed freight rate advances to February 6th 1911. Advances of "from three to twenty-five percent on lumber, staves, furniture, cement and other commodities from eastern points to the Pacific coast were suspeaded. Nearly five hundred railroads are involved in this order. The commission announced that it will enter upon a hearing concern- ing the propriety of the increased rates as well as their lawfulness under the new railroad law. This action was taken upon the complaint of the shippers. WATTERSON ON ROOSEVELT. Under the caption, “Can Roose- velt Bryanize the Republican Party?”’ Colonel Henry Watterson says: “In point of fact, the real, vital question before us is no longer the Mexicanizing of the republic and the Diazification of Theodore, but this: Get from under Nelson of Kansas City and stand by Hemphill Shall Roosevelt Bryanize the Republican party? “The country has not wholly for- gotten the cartoons of a few years ago which represented the president that was and the president that would like to be as two dromios; nor yet the epigram of the man from Ne- braska. that the man from Oyster Bay had stolen his clothes whilst he was in swimming. . Many a truthis spoken in jest, dear old Mother Goose assures us. If we, carefully examine and " closely analyze the Osawatomie manifesto we shall find that most of it is as good. Bryan gospel as the Commoner could him- self expound. “There is all sorts of wondrous re: semblance between Roosevelt and Bryan. This is why the Courier- Journal loves them so. Close of an age; southern blood but western bred, one tracing back to Virginia, the other to Georgia; voluminous ' of speech, fearless' of consequences; born preachers; moral philosophers; humanitarians. To hell with politi- cal economy—every man his own political economist. To hell with who cannot show them a lylier thing ot two, in .government irradi: ated by the ethics of the new na- tionalism and inspired by the states- manship of rxghteousneu.” There is - pathos (for demcnts) as well as truth in what the ‘one colonel says of the other colonel. Rubbing it in isn’t necessary. SAYS NORTH HAS POWER. The Duluth Evening Herald’s po- litical man runs the following, which is of particular interest here: Prefacing’ his remarks: with the frank statement that -he is and al- ways has been dead set against the county option idea, John Dalzell of Morton; whorepresented-the Twenty-! second district.in the lower house of the legislature for the two last terms, said while'in the city yesterday that he didn’t believe there will be much of a fight over that issue in the legis- lature this winter.. - It was his-opin- ion that the senate will be so consti- tuted as to make any attempt to en- act a county option law a futile one. The main fight in ' the coming ses- sion will be- on the question.of reap- portionment,” said Mr. Dalzell. “Per- sonally;: [ am ‘decidely in favor of reapportionment, but I won’t be there, as I was defeated for a re- nomination on the: option issue. As a matter of fact, the people them- selves all through our part of the state are in favor of reapportionment, just as a matter of fairness. They don’t want representation they are entitled to, and if the wishes of the voters themselves 'should control the actions of those they send to St. Paul this time, reapportionment will win, Itis my belief that reappor- tionment will be secured, but not without a desperate fight for it. “The senators *from the - southern part of the state are likely to ignore the real sentiment of the people down there on this question, for it naturally will be their disposition not to shorten their own terms, but I don’t believe enough of them will assume that attitude to defeat the purpose of Northern Minnesota. “One great advantage possessed bv this part of the state in the com- ing fight is the fact that its forces will be organized as they have never been before, and therefore Northern Minnesota will go:down to St. Paul presenting - a solid front and will force the representatiues of other parts of the state to recognize the justice and equity of its demand in this respect.” The district ' Mr. Dalzell has repre- sented, the Twenty:second, in Ren- ville county, near the southwestern part of the state. Itis populous, with a.predominating Scandinavian element. The county option senti: ment there'is strong, but Mr. Dalzell asserts that nonethefess the Swedes of Renville will vote for Eberhart, bei_ng, so he declares, Republicans before they are optionists. If that isa fact, it must be that the voters, in defeating Dalzell for renomination to the house; returned a verdict that he is an anti-optionist before he is a Republican.

Nye and E. T. Lies of Minneapolis, appointed by Gov- ernor Eberhart and represcntative business men of the Twin Cities to in- vestigate conditions in'the ‘Northerep Minnesota fire zone in the. interests | of the state Red Cross society and or: ganizations of St. Paul and Minneapo- lis, are here. A conference was immediately held with Mayor Moody, who said that about 300 refugees are being cared for in' private homes; hotels and in the opera house. Many hundreds more have been tak: en to Duluth and other places by.the Canadian Northern ‘raflroad. - Those who did not leave.will be interviewed by Mayor Moody and their financial conditions ascertained - for the Twin City men, who will act for the Red Cross society and business men in the the constitution and the court of law —he is no leader of men, nor worthy the confidence of the plain people, distribution of provisions and clothing The majority of refugees here are des titute- of -everything-but. the clothing| they wear.

Pennlless and the Need of Assist- ance Is Imperative. FOREST FIRE SUMMARY. Area—Fires burning in all parts of border territory- from-Greenbush, in Roseau county, to International Falls, and -on -both ‘sides :of. the Canadian| boundary; also reported-as -far.south as Bagley, in Clearwater county, and Nebish, in Beltrami county. Losses—Five hundred square miles of virgin timber and thousands of set- tlers’ homes. Property losses are esti- mated at from $5,000,000 to.$10,000;- 000. Dead—Latest estimate places dead at 100, but is made without knowledge of - conditions that investigation - of burned area may reveal: Known dead number close to eighty. Towns Burned—Baudette, Spooner, Clementson, Salol. Towns in Danger—Gonvick, Clear Brook, Kelliher, Longby, Greenbush, Plummer, Ranier, Roosevelt, Williams, ‘Warroad. Fugitives by the hundreds are being cared for at Rainy River, Internation- al Falls and Bemidji and in smaller numbers' at Warroad, Crookston and other Minnesota towns. Need of Assistance Imperative. With the abating of the wind in the forest fire zone along the Minne- sota-Canadian border the need of re- lief in gigantic proportions becomes | apparent. Trains are entering the stricken territory from- all directions, bearing supplies of every description needed. FIRES ARE NOW DYING DOWN' Situation Around Rainy River Not So Threatening. Rainy River, Ont., Oct. 12—The for- est fire is well under control in this district and. around International Falls.” The work of feeding and housing the refugees and ihe gathering of the dead is engaging the attention' of ev- ery one. Thirty corpses are in the morgue here and as many more have been taken south on the line to Du- luth. It is now evident that unless.per- sons have perished in isolated dis- tricts the death list will not exceed |gn, 100. While the fire is no longer danger- ous a high wind will make the situa- tion as serious as ever. All trains from ali directions are bringing large quantities of food and clothing. RELIEF FOR-THE REFUGEES' Six- Carloads of Supplies Arrive at Rainy River. Rainy River, Ont.,, Oct. 12.—Relief has commenced to arrive for - the stricken people of Baudette, Spooner and the Rainy River district.
