Shevlin ag dele- gate at large from Minnesota fo the aational Republican convention. The Lumberman says: ‘‘Regardless af party, Thomas . ‘Shevlin, of Minneapolis, is a representative man, representative of the business men of the state—and in advocating his selection as one of the four delegates this state to the national Republican convention, The Lumberman merely asks recogni- for services rendered to that both in the state andin the nation. Tbe lumber industry ranks high in Minnesota, and no one who could be sent to the Republican con- vention would more neariy represent avy considerable portion of the people and their interests. But Mr. Shevlin has other claims upon the He is oneof the largest em- labor. He is a mano of public spirit. His presentation of a building to the State Uni- the state under cer- 1 obligatiuns which could be in Though high office in the gift >, and even forthe office of vice-president of the United States, he has never sought political prefer- ment ofa kind that wasin any way remunerative, while as a member of the committe he deyoted time and money to the good of the at large from tion party, ployers of autiful placed part paid in this manner. mentioned for af the national | Stanton moves along calmly and party. His selection as one of the delegates to the convention this year would be a graceful recognition of his standing as a business man, his services to the state and his work for the Republican party.” Epitor MONTGOMERY, he of the International Falls Echo, isevidently mad at somebody in Koochiching zounty. Monty didn’t get any pub- lic printing, wherefor he is much perturbed and loves not the powers that dominate in the new county. He speaks unkindly of Mr. Stanton, the able prosecuting attorney of the infant commonwealth, and intimates that the official limb of the law is receiving a greater amount of public funds than should - be justly voted to him for the services rendered. But it’s only acase of sour grapes. The “outs” want to get the ‘ins’ out and the “outs in. If Monty bad been given the county printing through the influence of Mr. Stanton, the Jatter would be represented through the columns of the Echo as the peer of any prosecuting attorney in this or any other state. He would be a patriot of patriots; the real creator and upbuilder of Koochiching county; the foremost citizen of the common- ‘wealth; a man of such brilliant attain- ments as would insure him a famous political future. In short, the would have been smeared all over with extravagant portions of ful- 3ome flattery. But it didn’t happen that way. Monty was only adirty deuce in a new deck with the com- missioners, and was tossed into the discard with contempt. Whereat he became much worth, Richard III, proclaimed: “Since I and, with villain.” In the feannvtine’ ‘Mr. serenly, doing the work which he finds todo ina manner thatis con- stantly increasing his popularity, with the people of Koochiching county. The disappointed seeker for public pap frequently succeeds in making himself so abominably disa- greeable that even his would-be friends finally pass him by in silence. This wiJ] be the case with Monty if he don’t watch out. fy Sie oe) THEREUPON ex-Governor Van Sant stepped to the center of the political rostrum and anuounced bis willing- ness to lay aside /his personal in- terests and comforts to serve the people of the state of Minnesota a couple of years as governor. If “silence gives consent’ the ex-gov- ernor’s proposition has been acqui- esced in by the entire state. Least- wise the Herald-Review hasn’t overheard any loud Van Sant talk as aresult of the generous offer. Per- haps his candidacy goes without say- ing—and again,.perhaps it doesn’t go at all. In any event Van has shown an uoselfish patriotism that is in- deed commendable and if any mis- take is made in the selection ofa Republican gubernatorial candidate he may say -with exultant self-satis- faction, “I told you so.” pelde Be JoHN R. WatsH, the Chicago banker, "was ‘found guilty by a jury on fifty-four counts charging him with misappropriation of the bank’s funds. Joho has been in the game for a long time, as he is seventy years old, but it’s a long lane, etc. He is one of the men who howled loud for “honest” money during the cam- .paigns of 1896 and 1900, and bought the Chicago Chronicle through which to plead for an “honest dollar.” He has. evidently been getting other people’s honest dollars—by stealing them. Barring the possibility ofa new trial and final acquittal, the verdict means hfe imprisonment, as the minimum penalty on each count is five years. which foots up a total of 270 years. AN exchange says there isan un- confirmed report going the rounds of the press that R. C. Dunn may be- come an active candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, and further that there isan under- standing with J. F. Jacobson, which may result in the Madison man’s support for Dunn, The election of Dunn or any other Republican is impossible so long as the Republicans vote the Demucratic. ticket. Bob Dunn was the ablest Republican can- didate that had been nominated in many ayearup to 1904, yet he was deserted by his own party. son would be a stronger ‘candidate than Bryan for the presidency. In proof of his statement he says a ma- jority of the members of congress would declare for Johnson were it not for their constituents. If that isn’t an argument in favor of Bryan it would indeed be a difficult task to present one. Johnson would be the stronger candidate because the poli- ticians secretly favor him while no= body but the people want Bryan. There’s logic for you in a big chunk. TxHE Goodhue County News of Rea Wing devotes a full page to bousting Jobnson for the Democratic nomi- nation for president. The News is one of the few Democratic papers in Minnesota that has taken this stand. The Herald-Review ventures the pre- diction that a solid Bryan delegation will go to the national conyention from Minnesota. Mark the forecast. aS Ee aS A. B. Come, chairman of the Minne- sota republician state committee, is expected home from the south about February first, and a meeting of the state committee will be held at once to vall the state convention to elect delegates to the national conveution. It is expected that the state conven- tion will be held about the middle of March. Four years ago a similar convention was held in Minneapolis on March 17. WILL INVESTIGATE AS TO GLANDERS.
