By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE @ntered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, Bos DuNN is after Jacobson’s sealp. ; He classes Jake with the heretics and traitors who bolted to Johnson two ago, and, according tu the Princeton statesman, no man who proved false to the party in 1904 can be elected to the gubernatorial job in 1906. Bob Dunn and his friends will not be withoutstrength in the Duluth It looks like Cole. years convention. Tue Aitkin Age is in error when: it says: “Hon. D. M, Gunn has filed for the senate in this district in opposi- tion to Hon. S. Swanson of Moose Lake, who filed some time ago.” Mr. Gunn was the first to file for the sen- atonal nomination in tne Fifty-second district. It has not been authoratively announced that Swanson has yet filed. In view of the fact that Carlton county has a candidate for the house who has filed, it is hardly probable that a district comprised of four counties would endorse a_ proposition to center two-thirds of the legislative representation in one county. — Carl- ton has always been fairly treated, and masmuch as Itasca has brought for- ward one of the ablest men in North- ern Minnesota for the senate she should turn in and make his nomin- ation unanimous. Thisis nota year to admit blind partisanship or petty pride to control the selection of legis- lative timber, But one consideration should prevail—elect the strongest men ayailable. Carlton county should be jointly interested with Itasca in the election of D. M. Gunn to the senate. Aitkin and Cass should be equally strong in their support of his can- didacy. 2 ea VERY SMALL POTATOES, LaFollette of Wisconsin took an active part in the debates upon the railruad rate regulation bill in the senate, and he offered a num- ber of amendments, which were de- Senator feated. Later several senators explained, more or less publicly, that they ap- proved of some of his amendments, but that they voted against them because they hated to let LaFollette have the credit of passing them. This incident gives a little side light into senatorial motives that is interesting and rather instructive. Public business would proceed smoothly if it were not hindered by petty complications like this. A fairminded stateman who sought his nation’s welfarestirst would not stulti- fy himself by voting against his cons victions because be did not want to see a man that he did-not like encoure aged. In this ease it was simply personal prejudice that entered into the affair, which was between members of the party. But where personalities bring about such defeats of justice once, partisanship creates then a thousand times. One party is as guilty as the other in this respect. Itisall due to the mistaken idea that the party’s wel- fare has the first consideration. If the country is to be saved, our party must dou it, and itis better that the country should go to the dogs that the other party should have the credit of saving it. This is the great evil. of partisan- ship. Parties are necessary, no doubt, but they have created a spirit of partisanship that sadly hampers progress. A Republican who will vole against a good measure because a Democrat proposed it is no patriot. Neither isa Democrat who will ‘re- ject a Republican plan, knowing it to be good, merely because it comes from a Republican. Yet this condition has continued so long that ityhas come to be accept- ed almost as a law of nature, and may be itis. But recent political devel- opments, showing that the great mass of the people have become nerv- ously impatient of the style of states- menship, give hope that itis not an irrevocable law, and that the growing contempt of the peuple for a partisan- ship that ignores the welfare of the people in its consideration of par than will result in creating a different order of things. i ‘These partisans forget that after. allitisthe people who create and compose and perpeture parties, and vhat if they wish to do. so they can destroy them as quickly as they made them. That isnot necessary, but it is necessary that the parties should subside into second place, giving the good of the people the first place to which it is entitled,—Duluth Herald. Political Comment. | Hustlers Like Gunn Needed. Elk River Star-News. Dan Gunn of Grand Rapids has filed for state senator on the Republi- can ticket. The svoner the upper. country commences sending energetic successful men like-Gunn to the legis- Jature, the qui¢ker it will get needed legislation. Democrats and Republicans, International Falls Press. D. M. Gunn has filed for the Re- publican nomination for state sen- ator. Every Republican vote in Itasca county at the primaries should be cast for him. And then in Novem- ber every Democratic voter should join in making his election certain. Itasca county needs a good man in the senate during the ensuing four years and we believe that Mr. Gunn will fill the requirements satisfac- torily. Gunn, DeLaittre, Case. Minneapolis Journal. C. P. DeLaittre of Aitkin has an- nounced himself as a candidate for the house from the Fifty-second dis- trict. He wag thinking of running for the senate but evidently has de- cided not to complicate that tight. It looks likea combination in tbat district between D, M.Gunnof Grand Rapids for the senate, DeLaittre of Aitkin and. Walter L. Case of Cloquet for the house, with Sievren Swanson of Moose Lake a candidate tor the senate alljby himself, and Ole Maus- ten to hear from. It Was a Success. Itasca News. Deer River. The little independable raseal of the Grand Rapids funny sheet puts on the short stop to his memory very suddenly in reviewing his little spludge. The News readers will recal] that this paper’s effort to bring Hon. D. M. Gunn out for the senate was 80 serious that it was a success— and that’s what’s bothering the little yap. A Solid Support. Roseau County Times. Hon. D. M. Gunn has filed for the senatorial nomination on the Ree publican ticket in the Fifty-secoud district. Dan Gunn as he is familiar- ly called by everybody who knows "him, isa Grand Rapids man and has been prominent in the developement and growth of his town and county for the past twelve years. Mr. Guon has represented his district in the house aud nothing but death will prevent his election to the senate. Mr. Gunn has the svulid support of his county. * Possibilities Predicted. Itasca News, Deer River. Prospective candidates for county offices are very mum, but it is early yet. The only offices spoken for are attorney's and sheriff's. It is said John Fraser is going to carry out bis intention expressed a year ago, and others say Cal Gilman of Grand Ka- pids has the bee buzz sensation. Men close to County Attorney Spear say that he is not guing to ron and again that he is. Hisrunning seems to de- pend upon how easy or how hard the chances look for’ George. W. H. Spath, of Deer River, a Republican, has received considerable mention for this oftice. The News would like to see Mr. C. M. King of Bigfork come into ube race. A Friendly Wag. ass County Pioneer. Our friend and able statesman, Daniel Gunn (or plain Dan as he likes to be called) bas announced himself as a candidate for senator from this district and it is up to his many old friends to get busy and see that he gets there. For several years Dan represented us in the lower house and made a name for himself as an able ley:slator. ‘True to his constituents, true to his honor and to himself. Here 1s our hand Dan—shake. “The Best We Know Of.” Case Lake Times. { Since it is pretty securely estab- lished that Cass county will furnish. the next governor, some one of the surrounding counties should be given our support for the best men they have for the legislature. We cannot afford this year to send “basswood” men to represent us; we want our strongest and best prepared men, and if we do not have them it will be. our own fault, Dan Guno, of Itasca, is one of the best we know of to repre: jext state senate, at | siderable claim against the estate.” F, a itaduty, self him, Mr. @w c experance, and from his. past. record we may judge of his ability to perform his duty. Let us not weary in giving tu him our united support. y No Opposition in Sight. Tron News, Bovey. It can safely be predicted that D. M. Gunn will be the unaminious chioce of the Republicans of the Fifty-second district for state senator. It is generally agreed that the office this term belongs to Itasca county, and if the sentiment of the county can be gauged by the press Mr. Guon will not only have no opposition, but will be enthusiastically supported from one end of the county to the other. With the exception of A. M. present his name as a legislative can- didate there is within the county, no other man of Mr. Gunn’s caliber, for the office. At this time it is well that the county is united. Itasca needs a representative at the state capitol, and any division that would Ubrow the senatorial office to some other portion of the district would not only be unfortunate but would result to the discredit of the county. Ability and Integrity. Cloquet Pine Knot. Daniel M. Gunn, of Grand Rapids, has filed with the secretary of state asa candidate fur the state senate from the Fifty-second district, which is composed of the counties of Carl- ton, Aitkin, Itasca and Cass. Mr. Gunn is the proprieror of the Poke- gama hotel at Grand Rapids and for years has been prominent in politics in this section. He has bad experi- ence in legislative work, having been a member of the lower house in 1895-7 and his record was a credit to hime self and his constituents. Mr. Guno has a large acquaintance throughout the district and there is no .doubt as to his ability and integrity. Sievren Swanson, of Moose Lake, is also a candidate for the Republican nomination as senator. Mr. Swanson las served two terms. in the lower house and has a clean record to his credit. He is well known throughout the district aud he is a substantial business man at Moose Lake, where he has been engaged in the general mercantile business for a number of years, With two such men as Sievren Swanson and D. M. Gunn as candi- dates to represent this district in the Stale senale,. the voters can make no mistake,regardless of which is chosen. The need of Northern Minnesota is for strong, able meu in the legisla— ture this winter—men whom no obstacle or opposition can daunt in Uheir aggressive advocacy of state development and the drainage of swamp lands. Io Messrs Goon and Swanson we bave two such men. The senatorial toga will tit’ either admirable and the loser at the pri- mary election will find consolation that his defeat was at the hands of a good man. BIG MINES AT SNOWBALL The Cleveland-¥'liffs Iron company owns considerable jand in the yicinity of the platted town of Snowball, about six miles west of Nashwauk, and 20 miles west of this city, says the Hibbing Ore, and it is under- stood that the company is making preparation to opev one ore more of the determined ore bodies. Snowball was platted four years ago, but the owners decided not to push the sale of lots until a railroad was built through. The Bovey extension of the Duluth, Mesabe & Northern road to be completed in July, passes through Snowball, and it is under- stood to be the intention of the town- site people to again place the lots upon the market, and proceed to open up the town, Besides the Cleveland- Cliffs holdings there are a bumber of other large tested ore bodies near by, that when developed will give the town a good foundation to build on. M.McALPINE . GETS JUSTICE After waiting. for nearly twenty years to collect an account against the estate of J. H. Caldwell, M. Mc- Alpine is about to receive his just dues. Along in the ’80’s when Mr. McAlpine was conducting a hotelhere |. he transacted considerable business with Caldwell, who was engaged in log- ging operations. At the tme of Caid- well’s death Mr, McAlpine held acon- £, Kratka, a son-in-law of the deceas- ed lumberman, has fought the claim in the courts and finally succeeded in having the case thrown out on a technicahty. An appeal was taken and the contention of. McAlpine was sustaned by the supreme court, Kratka was the former admunistrator and the higher court finds that he has defaulted in the sum ot $4,500 and he will now have to stand tnal on a _de- tary ca Greely who, it is understood, will not i , COLE OF Chss The Senatorial Candidate Says That Cole is Today Away in the Lead. CONDUCTING A WINNING CANPAIG State Development, Railroad Rate Regulation and Drainage of Swamp Lands Are Issues That Will Win. If Hon, D. M. Gunn is a wise. po- htical prognosticator A. L. Cole will be nomiuated for governor by the Re- publican party of Minnesota at Du- luth on the 13th inst, Mr, Gunn re- turned from a trip to Duluth, St. Paul and Minneapolis the other day, While absent he had an opportunity to meet and talk with a great many prominent men from different sections of the state, and from what he learned of the prevailing sentiment, freely ex pressed, he is convinced that A. L. Cole is far in the lead of any other gubernatorial candidate thus far an- nounced ‘Cole is a much bigger man than many were inclined to give him credit for being at_ the outset of his campaign,” said Mr. Gunn, “He has developed more rapidly, I believe, than any candidate I ever saw. While a member~of the house he made a splendid refutation and was at once recognized as a leader on the floor both in debate and as a successful worker for any cause that he cham- pioned. Since staruzg his campaign for the goveruorship, however, he has shown qualities that are a pleasing surprise to his friends all over the state and not a little annoying to his op- ponents. He will go into the Duluth convention, as it looks now, witha stronger following on the first ballot than any other candidate, I believe also that Cole is the strongest candi- date that the Republicans can nomi- nate. His platform takes with the people of all sections. When. Cole came out on his broad, comprehensive three-plank platform and pronounced in fayor of state development, railroad rate regulation and the drainage of state swamp lands he was met with a popular response that has swelled into a udal wave.” Mr. Gunn took a few notes on the senate sttuation in the Fifty-s:cond district and he appears to be quite satisfied with his chances tor nomination at the September pri- manes, He would like to go to the senate, he says, to help make laws that will advance state develop- ment; to enact railroad legislation that will bring about equitable rates, and to help make possible the drainage of our swamp lands. It now seems cer tain that Swanson of Carlton county will aso be a candidate, but there ts also no doubt that public opinion pre- dominates favorable toGunn. State de- velopment—and especially the devel- opment of northeastern Minnesota— is the campaign cry in this district. Gunn 1s just the kind of a man that the Fifty second needs in the senate from a bustness standpoint. Let pol1- tics and local favoritism be wisely laid aside for once. The Fountain House.
