Many a farmer in the southern part of that state hasn’t reached that mark after twenty years of experimént. Various papers throughout- the state have been boosting Mackenzie for state senator. Some have suggest- ed him for congressman the Sixth district and now comes J. J. from Opsahl with a story ,and we. have every reason to believe that it’s straight, that they are booming a man by the name of W. R. Mackenzie for congressman in the new tenth dis- trict. Can it be that they are going to claim the Northern Minnesota giant down in Hennepin county? We always thought that “Mac” lived in Bemidji and was just wintering in the ctiies. It may be that Beltrami county will be compelled to resort to the reclaiming process in order to send him from the sixth district. Well, it might be arranged to send him somewhere from somewhere. If they think that he can lick Manahan in the tenth let him hop to it. The chances are that he wouldn’t be de- feated for a state or national office from Northern Minnesota and he is deserving of success wherever he runs. After Maxfield’s 0ld Job. Hon. J. J.
