R. King, ex-county auditor, is be- ing urged by a number of prominent Republican politicians of the state to become a candidate for the office of railroad and warehouse commissioner. pik Seonulb i Reece Tt NEWSPAPERS of the Fifteenth judi- district,appear to be unanimous- ly ia faver.of electing Judge Spooner. next fall to the place he now holds by appointment. The judge has cer- tainly made an excellent record on the bench thus far and it is not likely that he will meet with any opposi- tion. per ee ‘Tue Herald-Review rises to second the nomipvation of J. 8. Galarneault of Altkin as delegate froa this dis- trict to the national Democratic con- vention to be held at St. Louis. Mr. Galarneault has always been a consist- ant and able party worker and he de- serves the recognition that might thus be aceorded him. AD. MirtaGan, who conducted a whisky cure institute at Fargo, sold out the business a shurt time ago, and coming to Duluth he proceeded to take aboard a glorious old jag. He was picked up on the street by a policeman and ‘trun in.’? It’s an un- wise doctor that will take his own medicine. Tuose fellows over at Wadena— Bastman and Verity—turn out two of the best country papers printed in Minnesota. They doa heapof politi- cal § pping amoug themselves, but there is aiways so much genuine local news dished uy in both the Pioneer Journal and Tribune every week that their editorial centroyersies serves as Worcestershire sauce on a delicious picce of roast ~— From where we are lying in our happy home nursing a broken ankle, it looks as though Roosevelt will be unanimously nominated at Chicago in June, and it looks as though it looks that way to everybody else. Then why all this howling on the part ertain Republican papersand poli- ticians about Rvoseyelt opposition ? [tL appears to a man up stairs like a case of hotair for preferential place in the procession with a view to 8ome thing in the future. It’s disgusting. ++ ‘THERE are lots of people in Minne- sota who really rejoice over the out- come of Dr. Ames’ prosecution for al- pocket, and he’s a hard hearted wretch who cannot feel that the punishment has been sufficient. ——_+0+—__—_ ACCORDING to the Collins support- ers, if Bob Dunn receives the Repub- lican nomination for govornor 1t will be wholly due to Democratic news- paper influence, and the Herald-Re- view is quite prepared to second the motion. In fact, if we must submit to having a Republican governor at all this paper is willing to assume the entire responsibility for his nomina- tion and subsequent election. Now. therefore, notice is hereby given, that, in the eveut of a successful ter- mivation of Robert’s campaign, we do hereby tender our services as oil in- spector under his administration, and request that Charley Mitchell will not neglect to duly record said tender in the book of grafts, top of first column on first page. ‘Tue Farmers’ Exchange is a grow- ing organization that is takinga firm hold throughout states of the west: classes are wiser than they were a quarter of a century ago when the je] granger movement was prospering. | tr The.

At the rate your American farmers are going into that country, in ten years they will raise all the wheat) Great Britain needs. ‘Then you will pay the tax, or you will hold your wheat, or you will find a new market,”’ A British tariff of even ten cents a bushel on American wheat, while no tariff at all is levied on. Canadian wheat, would in Mr. Hill’s opinion not only result in destroying the de-! mand fer our wheat, but it would de- populate our rich farming lands. And the English millers would see to it too that their interests would not suffer and the vast milling industry which has grown up in Minneapolis would either have to. go ott of busi- ness or be moved across the Canadian border.
