' The Republican Publicity association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., gave out the following statement from its Washington head- quarters: “Hurling unprovoked insults in the face of the republican party and casting reflections upon the wisdom and patriotism of that party in the past, Herbert Hoover indicates his desire for a nomina- tion from that party at the convention next June. Assuming a ‘holier than thouw’ attitude that is almost unsurpassed in the history of the world, he expects the republican party to cringe at his feet like a whipped hound that licks the hand that smote it.” It is our opinion that this kind of “bunk” will get the republican party nowhere. Admitting that we are for a republican administration first, Tast and all the time, we cannot endorse the attitude taken at times by the powers that be. If Hoover is the man the people want and also the man the majority of ‘the republicans want, then Hoover is the man to nominate. The repub- Jican party cannot afford to-confine its choice ‘to a limited few and thereby disregard the will of the people. We believe that the time is here, when the voice of the masses (not classes nor asses) be given due consideration. Thus far it appears that Leonard Wood has the call of the masses and will in all* probability retain this lead. If nominated, there is no doubt but that he will be our next president, but if the people favor another man, politicians cannot ignore their appeal. If they do partisan politics will become even less popular than it is today. - i e STRANGE COMBINATION. To a church convention held in an Eastern city ' some time ago was sent a delegate from a neighbor- ing town. Arriving several hours before the open- ‘ing hour, the delegate was putting in his tim_e eralking around in one of the city’s beautiful cemeteries. Seeing, a large and imposing monu- fli}s on'it: “A Lawyer and An Honest Map” Considerably perplexed, he read it over again an}i again. Another visitor to the“Cemetery seeing his apparently deep interest in the grave, remax:ked to him: “You have evidently foupd the grave of a wery dear friend.” “No,” said the delegate, “but I have been wondering how these two fellows came to be buried in the same grave.”. PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (8y EXCHANGE EDITOR) IN ANTICIPATION. An Irishman, lying on his death-bed, was ques- " tioned by his unconsolable prospective widow. “Poor Mike,” said she, “is there inythin’ ye wud Jike to have that wud make ye feel better?” “Plaze, Bridget,” he replied, “Oi’d like a taste of that ham Oi smelt a-boilin’.” “Go 'way wit’ ye. Divil a bit of that ham ye’ll get. ’Tis fer the wake.”"—%¥x. o —10— Attorney General Hilton has announced himself a candidate for re-election. He has been a most able and faithful official. He is the kind of man needed in that position, one who devotes his entire energy to the job, is not a loud mouthed radical, but is a most earnest servant of the people, a man to be trusted, and whose highest ambition is to discharge his duties with the fullest degree of fidelity. He is deserving the support of all lovers of Minnesota, who want safe, sane, courageous and patriotic men in official positions.—St: Cloud Jour- nal Press. 0— .

" The Grygla Eagle runs a néat little design and slogan at the head of its editorial column. The slogan reads like this: ‘“The Biggest Town of Its Size, Grygla.” Judging from what you hear about the Grygla country, you would think that it was the metropolis of its county. And we believe it is, or soon will be, because they have the best bunch of boosters there we know of, running neck and neck with the Bemidji bunch. Everybody here is continually talking about the Grygla country and a good many of -our citizens will make trips' up there this summer and some of us may come to stay. —_— The war loan organizx;tion slibped us the follow- ing as a fact: ‘““Not long ago a man who had been born and raised in one of the large eastern cities and who hadn’t been far enough ‘away to learn that horseradish has nothing to do with a horse, was compelled to take a business trip which carried him west to the prairie of South Dakota. He was amazed at the things he saw and his ignorance caused him to ask some foolish questions of his fellow passengers who were uniformly respectful until the city man, spying a windmill, exclaimed: “What under the sun is that big whirligig up in the air?” That was too much for a Sioux Falls trave!ing man who solemnly answered: “Oh, some farmers are so kind-hearted they cool their, cows with an electric fan, and that is one of them.” —_—— The New York Times has outlined the job for the next president: “The country feels the pinch of high taxes. The man or party that can bring them down, that really means to bring them down, that can be trusted to bring them down; that can be trusted to govern honestly, efficiently, but with rigid economy and the merciless excision. of waste and superfluity, will be welcomed eagerly and steadily sustained by the American people.” We wonder-if the Times means all this dose to be taken by th& next president before going to bed or a spoonful after each meal. Anyway, it sounds real good. But we are perfectly satisfied to let the other fellow have the job. : i i Our former citizen, F. A.
