Grand Rapids Herald-Review Newspaper, March 25, 1908, Page 4

iii eee Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE @ntered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, THE HERALD-REVIEW IS THE Official Paper of Itasca County. ‘fficial Paper of Village of Grand Rapids. Official Paper of Village of Cohasset. Official Paper of Village of Keewatin. Official Paper of Village of Nashwauk. Official Paper of U. S. Dis- trict Court in Bankruptcy Proceedings. Designated by State and National Officials as the Of- ficial Paper for the publica- tion of all legal notices to be made through their re- spective offices in Itasca Co. Recognized by Everybody as the Leading Weekly Newspaper of Northeastern Mirfnesota. Beginning with the present number the Herald-Review will change its date of issue to Wednesday of each week. This change is made with considerable reluctance now, but circumstances over which the publisher has no control, makes the move necessary as a matter of justice to our patrons. Ina town the size of Grand Rapids where two papers are published, the week might very advantageously be divided as to dates of issue. As it now is our contempor- ary issues under the date of Thursday and is delivered through the postoffice on Fri- day. This leaves the Herald- Review but one day of the week for news that has not already been covered, and hence much of the current events of local interest are presented through these col- umns_ second-hand. Very naturally the reading public much prefers to get the facts, properly and intelligently pre- sented, through the Herald- Review. The complaint is frequently made that our es- teemed contemporary only gets hold of the news to gar- ble and spoil it. The demand for the contemplated change is general and the voice of the ‘doubtful if, in fact, he gets as many, populace cannot be disregard- ed. Any legal notices now running in these columns will not be in any manner effected by the change. The state laws provide for such action and legalizes fully any notices in the course of publication. Advertisers will please make note of this announcement and prepare copy for advertising space not later than Tues- day noon of each week. Some Johnsonian Fallacies. The contention of Governor John- son’s Republican and Democratic organs that Mr. Bryan is the disturb- ing element in Minnesota, through having refused to concede the state to its favorite son, and that the vote of the state at Denver was settled by the action of the Democratic state com- mittee, is not accepted at face value by the Bryanites. The 3uffalo Times, controlled by Norman E. Mack, national committee- man for New York, says. “Governor Jobnson some time ago announced that he was nota candidate and did not desire the-~Democratic nomina- tion, but was a supporter of the can- didacy of Mr. Bryan. “With that understanding of the situation, friends of Mr. Bryan reas- oned that there would be no oppgsi- tion to the election of a Bryan dele- gation tothe Denver convention. At the eleventh hour Governor Johr- son’s private secretary precipi tated al contest, announcing that the delega- tion must be for his chief.” The Times might have added that the governof has never said a word since that announcement. He has not yet so much as said that he would accept a nomination if he could get it. He has not asked for Minnesota's delegation, aor placed himself pub- li¢ly in the hands of his secretary. Under these circumstances the Times can see no reasonableness in the plea that Mr. Bryan should withdraw from the state and concede it to “The System.” which ‘Is the only party at interest that has iuti- mated to him that he should do so. He might be expected to wait at least until Governor Johnson made puplic his own state of mind. ThatMinnesota’s Democracy is for the governer, whether he asks it or not, willy-nilly, because the ,state committee made him a candidate so far as it had the power to do so, is also a rather strained proposition. It was not appointed as a committee representing the party, but the gov- ernor. Every manon it was named by him, and every man on it was his loyal, earnest supporter in the cam- paige of 1906. ‘ It was formed by his own hands as his own personal machine, and the wonder is tbat twenty-three, in fact twenty-five, refused to desert Mr. Bryan for him, and not that sixty- odd, represerted in themain by proxy; stood by the fortunes of their chief, who had honored many of them with appointments. It isa most surpris- ing thing when a fourth and better of a politician’s machine breaks away from him in a body, In that proportion, even taking it as representative of party sentiment, the governor would get but fifteen of the twenty-two delegates.
