“THE "FIGHT IN THE | si COND. The Ropublican contest in; the second congressional district between Cengressman J. T. McCleary, of Man: kota and State Senator H. J. Miller of Luverne, resulted in favor/of the former. ‘Lhe causes therefor are briefly sumned up as follows in Senat- or Miller’s Rock County Herald: Considering the tremendous ad- Yantages possessed by McCleary, dncluding a complete and well disciplined orgauization to vegin witb, the prestige of twelve years in congress, an army of federal office holders making continuous personal appeals for the support uf newspapers owned by poust- masters, the backjng of the ‘American Protective lezgue and the powerful, not to say invinci- ble aid of an unlimited campaign fund, the result is by no means surprising. Mr. Miller entered the contest late and made the tight single-handed, with ro or- ganization, with no > tinancial backing or outside support, with limited acquaintance, and only sufficient means to pay necessary expenses for travelling and send- ing out the one campaign sheet issued frum the Herald office. No one believed from the start that Mr. McCleary could be beaten and all that was hoped for was to - pave the way fur a contest two years later. All the support Mr. Miller received was entirely voi- untary and was given in bebalf of the public interests, That under such circumstances he received about 70 per cent .of «the votes east for Mr. McCleary is a result by no means discreditable. The above is no doubt.a correct analysis of the situation. But Mil- le jay is coming, if his district re- mains in Republican column, and the Herald-Review hupes to see him yét seated at McCleary’s desk in congres- sional bal], Herbert J. Miller is an able man with upsto-date ideas and would prove a big improvement on the present representative from the Second district. ees OPENING THE CAMPAIGN. Citizens of Duluth were afforded an opportunity to hear addresses on the political issues by the Demo- cratic nominees for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney geueral and member of congress for this district. ‘The party bad just returned from Mesaba range, where they met with splendid receptions from large audi- ences in Hibbing, Virginia and Eye- leth. John A, Johnson, the nominee tor governor, created an excellent impression on the minds of those who were so fortunate as to hear him. He has a winning personality and uhis is supplemented by an eloquent earnestness of speech that carries conviction. Laburing in a righteous cause, he is certuiti to make large in- roads on the normal Republican vote and stands and excellent cliance of being the next governor of the state: iF. G, Winston, the candidate for lientenant governor, is another man who makes a splendid impressiva on the popular mind. He is a man of large affairs, one of the most sub- stautial and successful of thestate’s business element. His wealth has been won by intelligent and hard work. Asa member of the centract- ing tirm of Winston Bros., and later of Winston Bros. & Dear, he has as- sisted in the managemeut of a large amount of work both in Duluth and on the ranges. ‘Therefore he is no stranger here. His firm has won a warm place in the hearts of the work- ingmen of the district because of the uniform kindness and justice that has ever characterized the policy of the firm. ‘Through all the years that he bas accumulated wealth and power he has remained true to his democratic conviction and stands today, as he always has, for equality of opportunity and speeial favors for none. He has ever been a prop and mainstay to the Democratic party of the state, contributing liberally to the cause and working in season and outof season for the advancement of Democratic principles and rightevus government. The party has honored itself in the selection of F. G. Wine ston as its nominee for heutenant governor. T. J. McDermott, the candidate for attorney general, is also an elue quent and entertaining speaker. Besides, the peopie of Duluth were afforded opportunity to listen for the first time vo a brief address by Martin Hughes, the ‘congressional nomivee. The citizens of the range, where.Mr. Hughes has resided for the past three years, hold him in the highest esteem and thousands of his fellow citizens, irrespective of party, were highly pleased that he was selected as the Democratic standard-bearer. He is a successful attorney, and a pleasing speaker, well grounded in the Demo- caatic faith.—Duluth Herald, > SUPPORTS JOHNSON, The Northwestern Agriculturist of Minneapolis, one of the leading agri- eultural journals in the west, has éome out in favor of the election of John A, Jounson for governor, The policy of the paper is regularly re- publican, and this is the first time it has supported a Democrat for the office of governor. Its editor, P. Vv. Collins, is a strong republican. .| conditions in Minnesota make it in- na leading editoriat 1 Agriculturist says: .-°? “The Northwestern Agricultu congratulates the state of Minn regardless of party politics, upon the nomination of John A. Johnaan -of St. Peter by the Democrats «active office of governor of the state. “WWiifle we do not agree with the platfozm or doctrines on national quéstions of the party nominating Mr. Johnson, we believe the circumstamees and cumbent to separate the state govern- orship this year from national poli- tics and to vote for a man above all suspicion of being the, tool of the railroad merger and other interests which stole the control of thestate Republican convention. We have known Mr. Juhnson personally for the lust sixteen or seyenteen years and have watched his rise in public jife, petitor in the publishing of county papers at St. Peter, and as such it was our supposed duty to discover all of his weak spots and act as general critic of his political views and acts, and we are free to say that, while his tariff vagaries are not at all to our liking, his personal character and general ability are above. reproach, and they eminently tit him for the responsible office to which he has been nominated. “We believe Minnesota stands to day before a crisis in development. Either the railroad monopolists and the lumber thieves must be over- come by the peoplo, or they will siéze the state and control the people’s in- terests. This is not a time to stand on national party lines, when it comes to voting for the state govern- ship, especially when the Republican state convention was delivered over to the minority so flagrantly and shamelessly that its nominee in no sense represents the choive of the party. We shall not be at all sur- prised to see Minnesota give Presi- dent Roosevelt a majority of 75,000 and yet elect John A.

City Attorney Russell has just re- ceived two decisions from the cm- missioner of the general Jand office, which will be of more than passing interést to married women contem- plating filing on stone and timber claims. Heretofore proofs offered by married women vp stone and timber claims were invarably rejected where the money to pay fer the same was obtained from ‘the husband. In two appeals taken from the ruling of the U.S. land office at The Dalles, Ure., Mr. Russell has changed bis ruling and the commissioner holds with him that in states where a married women is a feme sole, or a sole trader, as in | Minnesota, Washington, Oregon and other states, a married women can make such’ proof with money obtainea from the husband. The’ plaintiffs iv both cases are prominent oma ladies.—Bem idji*News. Halvor Old Lankiagun City. P. E. Seavy, clerk of court, in looking over some o'd statutes the other day ran onto a volume for 1849 to 1858 in Judge Williams’ office and there found an act of May’-23, 1857 defining the boundaries of “Aitken” county then being organized with Lankiagun City as the first county seat. This it seems was the name of an Indian settlement at the mouth of Mud river from which’ the present village of Aitkin has grown. That was 47 years ago and yet this is classed as a bnew country, Well, the new awakening has accomplished the greatest advanéement in the last few years and there is enough new country to enlist energy for a good many years to come.—Aitkin Age.
