OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCREDINGS % . CLASSIFYING CANDIDATES n a recent issue of the Minn i t'loumal' appeared a letter from s;:godx: in Bemidji pointing out the dangers of im- proper classification of newly elected can- didates. : . As has been stated in these columns, it is, better for the :Republican pm-t:, or any other party for that matter, to admit mt.p their ranks some of these progressive “ihinkers, than to antagonize them, by vi- s bUperative opprobrium. e have an idea, who the writer of the * ~=letter is.and desire to compliment him up- on his-vivid picturization of conditions as lwg believe they exist. The letter is as fol- “lows: . To the Editor of the Journal: +-- 18" it in-keeping with the spirit of the times to continue the classification . of candidates elected on the nonpanti- ,8an ballot to the state legislature merely as radicals and nonradicals? A classification as machine Republicans and nonmachine Republicans would be equally appropriate. In a recent issue the New York Herald remarked that the elections added five new inde- pendents to the group now including Borah, Johnson, LaFollette, Norris and Ladd in the United States senate. The voters have administered a re- buke to old guard radic¢alism, but they o not want the other extreme of radi- ical socialism. . | § gt s Should -the .powers not take warn- g, admit into their councils the sound ‘hinking independents who have been elected to serve them in the legislature pointmnts, ' and promote ‘harmony rather than take a position on one side “of a political fence, holding the radi- V¢ cals (socalled) on the other, and run a good chance in two years of losing their majority, attended with the dan- ger of a repetition in Minnesota of the socialist fiasco of which North Dakota is only now ridding herself? I.am not one who believes.that par- ties should be formed on class lines, but, have consistently voted the Repub- lican ticket for 1 Tyears, and did so on . Nov. 7, from Kellogg down, YetI be- lieve ‘that the politicians in' control of the Republican party in Minnesota do not read the signs correctly - if they * ersist in the classification .of every egislator, elected in spite of their op- position, as a radical or a socialist, and treat him accordingly. - .. . U This practice: will only invite these independerits to ally themselves with the few real radicals that have been elected, and we may expect little con- structive work at the hands of the leg- islature. ! ; Tnstead of a tendency toward social- ism, we have a tendency away from the radicalism of the Repubhcan_party machine politics toward rationalism or commonsense in public business of the State of Minnesota. e —_— : | FROM OTHER PAPERS ' I mm “Mr. Barnes declared himself in favor of a ship subsidy. -Quite a number of people feel way .
