Cregan, of Fargo, for governor. La- ter on it was found that he was in- eligible because he had not lived in the state-five years. Peterson and:Railroad Rates. Senator F. H. Peterson, who is an aspirant: for the place now occupied by Halvor: Steenerson, viz: congress- man from this.district, .puts forth a| platform which should .appeal very strongly to voters:generally. Senator Peterson,:.as .a member of the state senate, introduced the rail- road rate bills in connection with the. .-anti-pass.bill.., Everyone is~familiar with the ‘history of this legislation. From May 1, 1907, till;July 1, 1911, the residents of Minnesota enjoyed the fruits of Senator Peterson’s work. They traveled- on: the railroads for two cents a mile. The federal courts, however, held the legislation uncon- stitutional and the old three cent fare was reinstated. It is not-Senator Peterson’s fault that the people of this state do not travel on railroads at a reasonable rate, and if he is given an opportun- ity by the voters of this district to carry his fight against this extortion -by the railroads into the.congress of the United States, we believe that he will again hand back to the residents of Minnesota a two-cent rate for trav- el and a reasonable freight and.com- ‘modity rate. ‘ Mr. -Peterson suggests a remedy for this grievance, which we believe to be the only practical solution of the, question that has yet been of- fered. He proposes to place the law on this subject in such shape that the federal courts cannot reach it or interfere with it. His remedy is to draft and secure the passage of a law through congress which shall give the state the right to fix rates on all roads, state and interstate, and for- bidding the courts to construe such rates as an. interference with. inter- state commerce. Mr. Peterson pledges himself to the voters of the district, that he will, in the event he is sent to congress .- a8 their representative, work unceas- ingly for the passage of such a bill. In view of Senator Peterson’s rec-| ord in the senate of this state, in view of the fact that it.was he who initiated the:fight on- behalf of the people to . .secure justice -between them .and the railroads, which result- ed in the temporary relief enjoyed,]| in. view of.the further. fact that our| present representative in. congress - -has never at any time during his ser={ .vice of. ten-years-in that .office -once raised his voice. in behalf of the peo<| ple on this momentous question; should not Senator-Peterson: receive every vote in this district except such as-are cast.-by men whose hands are set by the railroads. We think that heshould, and we further believe that F. H. Peterson is a man of his word; that if he is sent to congress from this district, the people will be rewarded by a law. of congress that will give this state the power to pass laws that will be just and right in the matter of passenger and- freight rates on rallroads, and that ‘will insure to the people of the state a preservation of those laws from the attacks of the federal courts.

D. P. O'NEILL, Thief River Falls, Minn. To Darken the Hair and Restore Gray and:Faded Hair to:Its Na- ° Aural ‘Color. it is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it; although it is possible to.do-both. Our grand- mothers understood the secret. They made a “sage tea,” and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are begirning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in us- ing “sage tea” for their hair and are fast following suit.- The present generation has the ad- vantage of the-past in that it can get a ready-to-use -preparation called Wyeth’s Sage and. Sulphur Hair Rem- edy. As a scalp tonic and color re- storer this preparation is vastly su- perior to the ordinary ‘“sage tea” made by our grandmothers. The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the Scalp. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur clean and healthy, gives the hair it grow. Get a 50-cent bottle from your druggist today.
