Difficult to Prophesy. It is a difficult matter for a mere mortal newspaper man, whose mor- tality (in life) is unquestioned al- though often doubted. to prophesy as to the result of the congressional battle for the nomination now being waged between Clarence Bb. Miller and J. Adam Bede. Many appear to think that inasmuch as Mr. Bede joked himself into congress it would be only just that he should be con- sistaot and joke himself out of it. Many a joker, practical or otherwise, has joked himself out of a tight fix and why should not an experienced joker joke himself out of congress? That is, in fact, what the people of this district appear to think Mr. Bede should do, and perhaps the irony of fate will sustain itself and add a spice of irony to its humor, and Hattie F.

A Young Man’s Pay. ous onslaughts being made on our fellow townsman, A. L. Thwing, by the Itasca County Independent ought to fill every young man in this county with indignation. Think of it young men of Itasca County! Seven years ago Mr. Thwiag, then just out of school and starting in life, settled among us. He was just starting as you are just starting. He opened a law office and, single-handed and alone, commenced the battle of life. | From the start he was honest, re- liable, straightforward and upright. He worked hard and at all times at- | tended strictly to his own business. Because he was intelligent, because he worked hard, because he attended ; to business he got along. got ahead, | men trusted him with their business and he was successful. Two years ago the people of this county elected Mr, Thwing attorney. He had been pract- icing law only five years when he was elected to that office. Think of it young man just starting out. Mr. ‘Thwing became a candidate for that office because it was urgently re- quested by a large number of citizens. Mr. Thwing isa candidate for District Judge of this judical district. Just seven years from the time when he started out he is put forward by the people who, now him as a fit and com- petent man for this high office. His triends and neighborsin Grand Rapids and Itasca county have recognized Lis ability and want to give him a eLance. The glory of our country is in the fact that young men are given a change, pushed to the front, into | defeat and destroy Mr. :‘Thwing, and | the warfare has been, and stillis by envious and selfish ends, desire to | means of personal attacks, covert in- { sinuations, slanderous charges, bil- lingsgate, coarse and insulting state- meats, hints and innuendos. Every charge, slander, attack, insi- nuation, hint, innuendo and state- H ment made in that paper against Mr. Thwing is false and known to be false by the people of this community. Not only are the attacks of the Inde- pendent upon Mr. Thwing false but that paper knows that the people of this county know them to be false. Not only does the Independent kgow here are not in sympathy with its effort to injure and destroy one of our own citizens, a young man who has lived among us for seven years and has always been found aclean, honest and honorable man. At the earnest request of his friends right here in Grand Rapids Mr. Thwing consented to become a candidate for judge of this judical district. He has con- ducted a clean, honest and honorable campaign, but the Independent has pursued him from the start with its vile, malicious and false attacks. It remains to be seen if the character and reputation of this young man is to be injured by this contemptable paper. If the reputation and future of A. L. Thwing can be blasted by the attacks of the Independent then the same thing can be done to any other young man and every aspiring young man in this County is at the mercy of this shameless, lecherous sheet. Every man in this county should rise up and rebuke that paper and if we mistake not such rebuke will be given on the 15th of September. —_—_ so" The Roorback. One of the most engaging adjuncts of the American political campaign is the campaign lie, otherwise known as the “‘roorback.’’ The name is very familiar, and there is scarcely a cam- paign, no matter how unimportant, in which it is not used to a greater or less extent, yet probably very few people know the origin of the term. The roorback dates back to 1844, when James K. Polk was conducting acampaign for the presidency against Henry Clay in which he succeeded in defeating the Whig idol. In the heat of the campaign appeared a story, authenticated by a mysterious ‘‘Baron Roorbach,”” in which Polk was ac- cused of selling to the Duck river slave drivers forty-three negroes upon whose shoulders he had brandéd the initials of his name. Great was the excitement of course, | because while slavery was still a deliberation springing passionate mind and one filled wi patriotism and suggestive of sympathy for the laborer as wet! as justice to the capitailst.—Cambridge Llndepen- dent Press. and thought, and as from a serious and @ th Hear The Great Orator.
