Ix Wisconsin La Follette has won in the supreme court over the stalwarts. This is a victory for the better element of the Republican party in that state, but the result will be the election of the father of “Peck’s Bad Boy.” Spooner and his followers are out with a big knife for the.scalp of La Follette. URIS ere Verity telis how it happened in his Wadena Tribune this week, and sure enough it reflects no credit on Bob Duno’s machine. The Wadena edit- or says he is out of polities. He is certainly out of the Dunn push, tem- porarily, at least. lux Duluth News Tribune printed abig, black blank on its first page last Wednesday and called it a fac- simile of a letter written by Geu. Ell ‘Terraace of Minneapolis, to Senator Labourn. The letter was said to have been a bitter attack on RoC. Duno. It may have been an attack of small pox for all the light that is shed on the subject by the News Tribune’s “facsimile.” Au X-ray should have been sent out with each copy of the paper. = Tne Border Budget has it figured out that the Democrats yoted for Spear at the late primary election be- cause it would be an easy matter to feat him with King as an indepen- dent candidate. ‘he Budget is a Re- publican paper but has no use for the elongated accident who bas been phay- ing the roll of attorney general for the county during the past two years. That paper predicts that if Attorney OC. M. King files as an independent Spear will be led to the guillotine by the Democrats who nominated him ‘accumpanied by agreat many Re- publicans who will desire to be pres- ent at the execution to pay their res- pects to him fur hobnobbing with the Democrats.” Geo. LR. soe DUNN'S BOASTED FRIENDSHIP, Joel P Heatwole was one of the best friends that R. C. Dunn ever had. Itis generally asserted that he did more to bring about the iatter’s homination for governor than any otber one man in the state. And R. C. Dunn, who has always been given eredit for staunch and Steadfast loyalty to his friends has been-com- pelled to turn against his best friend. Mr. Heatwole tuld the the reasons in a brief statement, which bears all evidences of truthfulness and sincer- ity. Hesays truthfully, that Dunn was compelled totake-thisstep at the command of the corporate inierests of the state. It was a questien of losing the governorship or cutting loose from Heatwole. He chose the governorship. Mr, Heatole says he does not blame Dunn for making the best bargain he could under the cir- cumstances, but it is evident that the ingratitude of the man he did so much to nominate rankles in his Dreast. ; Heatwole is a candidate forSenater Clapp’s seat in the senate. Clapp ts the candidate of the corpora- tions.

The Herald-Review made a bad break m prices last week and as a re- sult the dry goods clerks at Henry Hnghes and Co.’s have had trouble ever since. Misses petticoats, ‘made with the deep flare flounce,” with prices ranging up to $1.00 were ad- verted. _ Ladies moire skirts were algo adverused at $5.00 ‘The prices were transposed and the calls that were made for moire skirts at $1.00 each was a caution, The incident however, dcmoastrates that the ladies of Grand Rapids read the Herald- Review and pay particular attention to the attractive ads of Henry Hughes & Co.

And lo. behold the sudden change of heart experienc- ed by the charlatan! It wasn’t John Skelly at all that was so eminently fitted to serve as a county legislator. Moris O’Bnen TS the man! In fact, as,we glean from the Independent, Mornis is the very alpha and omega of the political affaiys of Itasca county. Compared with» the political probity ahd masterful police! knowledge of Morris O’Brien, John Shelly meits into nothingness as the dew drop wastes away under the wanton rays of a sum- mer sun! Morris 1s the man of the hour! ‘Lo arms, ye braves! or all is lost! lost! forever lost! What is lost? ‘The county printing to the Dependent, | of course. ‘The Independent not only extols the personal and political virtues of Mr. O’Brien but it presents argu- ments to prove that the election of “Archie McWilliams would be little short of criminal folly.” What! you exclaim. ‘That’s what the Indepen- dent does. It would be criminal, says the Independent, because there are mining properties of immense value situated in that portion of the ‘Third district where Mr. McWilhams hap- pens to reside. There are valuable mining properties now being devel- oped and worked between Grand Repids and Nashwauk nearly the en- tire distance of thirty miles. What do the business people think of the proposition to élect a man as commis- sioner who does not believe that the county should assist 1n the construc- tion of a public highway through this ‘most important section of the county? Every man who _ has a thimbleful of brains realizes that the development of these mines means the creation of markets for the products of the farmer; means the enriching of the county as 1t could be enriched 1n tio other way; means the rapid advancement of every interest in the county. ‘The people of Grand Rapids are equally interested with the people of Nashwauk in the improvement of the road between the county seat and the mining towns. And of ail the unpassable, abominable trails within the borders of Itasca county none can compare with that. To carry a load over 1t is impossible. With a buckboard it is a horse killer, wagon breaker and man destroyer. It 1s positively devilish. Are the'peo- ple living between Grand Rapids and Nashwauk entitled to no considera- tion? and would it be criminal to give them some relief? So seems to think the Independent. But the folly and inconsistency of the poor little paper arouud the corner becomes apparent on a moment’s reflection. When j elected, as the Herald-Review pre- dicts he will be, Mr. ‘McWiiliams.wi'!l only constitute one-fifth of the board. |{tis hardly probavle that the other | four members’ would permit the gen- ueman who represents the Third to appropriate move than his share of the road and bndge fund for use in his | district, By what process of reason- ing, does the Independent conclude that Mr. O’Brien would treat the! whole big Third district fairly and Mr. McWilliams would not? Suppose the claim should be made that if elected politically at least, through their ex- istence. George H. Spear is the most contempible public official that ever held office in Itasca county. This paper will keep the public posted as to his misconduct from time to time. Stiles, Wabi acan LEGISLATIVE SITUATION. A surprising political sentiment in the legislative situation has developed since the primaries were held. Mr, John Letevre of Grand Rapids was casusally mentioned as a candidate for the legislature on the Public Ownpership ucket. Mr. Letevre dis- couraged the ida but the sentiment in favor of putting a cendidate in the field representing the principles of that party has become so strong anil presistent all over the district that-it now appers that his name will be filed despite his protests. Petitions have beeu taken out and the Public Owner- ship advocates are inspired with a determination to take advantage of the favorable conditions and test their strength. ‘There being no Deinocra- tic candidates in the field it will naturally leave a large number of in- dependent voters in the district who would instinctively turn to the new party rather than lend endorsement to the representatives of trusts and mon- opolies. If Mr. Lefevre is placed upon the ticket the independent voters will have a candidate worthy of their united support. 3 nea IMPERIALISM HARD HIT. David J. Brewer is an associate justice of the United State supreme court, and a® Republican. On Sept. 28 he made an address at the opening session of the International Congress of Lawyers and Jurists at Festival hall on the World’s fair grounds at St. Louis. When he uttered the fol- lowiug sentiment he was compelled to stop for tive minutes to wait for the vheering to subside: “You can see twenty acres of Philippine life at the World's fair, but you cannot see a Square rod of Lhe constitution.” There was more prolonged cheeri ng when he added: “Perhaps it. is because it bas been indicially declared that there is no connection between the two.” He had been speaking about the greatness of the work cf the lawyer, which was potent. though it could not be seen. Leading up to the Philippioes and the ‘constitution he said: Ts “The purchase which this great ex- Position commemorates was not the result of conquest and came not at the end of war. Not a gun was fired ora life lost. A lawyer, not a soldier‘ made the transfer. The glory of that transfer is one of the laurels of our vrofession.”” The applause which followed this was almost as prolonged as thae fol- lowing his remark about the Philip- DlDes and the constitution, What.a scathing denunciation of the policy of imperialism and colon- ialism adopted and endorsed by the Republican party.
