Kremer will be the next county treasurer without a doubt there is not a paper in.the county that has ything but praise for Mr. Kremer the able manner and up to date business methods make him an ideal men for the position. As the present incumbent of the office he has “made good” and we believe in keeping a good man when we have him. —__—— As we said last week the commis sioners tor re-election are Messrs. O’Brien, King and Mullins. These men have demonstrated their fitness for this responsible position many time and their action on all matters cess. This man does not come out in the open and fight Thwing fair but he keeps in the background, in the dark, hiding and uses the columns of the Itasca County Independent as a sewer through which to send forth his dirty, false, traitorous and defa- matory charges and insinuations. Young men of Itasca county and the 15th judical district do you believe in fair play, in a square deal, in success, ia young men, is yourselves? Do you want a square deal for yourself? If you do make the cause of A. L. Thwing your cause and strike hard. Would you want your chances de- stroyed and your future ruined by a contemptable newspaper that will print and publish to the world false statements against you, publish them to people that vou cannot get to per- sonally to deny or explain? if you would not then take hold and rebuke the Itasca County Independent by giving Mr. Thwing your support for the Republican nomination for Dis- trict Judge of this judical district. Fair Play is a Jewell. “Fair Play Isa Jewell.” The Ameri- can people like fair play. Every man running for nomination at the pri- maries next September is entitled to fair play. Every candidate for nomi- nation is getting fair play except Mr. A. L.

The dirty, shameless and treacker- 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 becamea candidate for that otfice 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 friends and neighbors in Grand Rapids and Itasca county have recognized Lis ability and want to give him a ebance. The glory of our country is County Indes€ndent to columns to one or two men who, for envious and selfish ends, Cefeat and destroy Mr. :‘Thwing, and the warfare has been, and stillis by acclamation by the Dem- | Means of personal attacks, covert ‘in- { sinuations, slanderous charges, bil- lingsgate, coarse and insulting state- ments, hints and innuendos. in the fact that young men are given It has remained for the Itasca lend its desire to Every charge, slander, attack, insi- nuation, hint, innuendo and state- proud that it has a young man- capa- ble of holding the office of District Judge.

The Polk partisansron the story to earth, found that there was no such person as Baron Roor- bach, and as usual the slander re- dounded to the benefit of the victim when the American spicit of fair play was stirred by the discovery that the tale was wholly uatrue. Ever since then campaigao stories have been labelled. ‘roorbacks,”’ though in later years the term has been used more generally as referring to slanders peddlea about so late in the campaign that the candidates have no chance to refute then— Duluth Evening Herald. 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 B. 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? Thatis, 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 refuse to take Mr. Bede seriously in his campaign for a renomination and re-election. With all due respect to Mr. Bede and his splendid talent for making fun we believe the interests of this district in Washington should deserve a little more than as a mere adjunct to a lecture bureau for the profit of one individual. Minnesota has and has had many able, dignified, forceful, and famous statesman among its Washington delegations and for our part we prefer dignified statesmanship to flippant mediocrity. Mr. Miller may not have had much experience asa legislature but neither had Senator Davis when be first went to Washington and in the present situation we are impressed with favor by the dignified bearing, cordial manner and pleasant appearance of Mr. Miller and his utterances on pwb- lic questiuns of importance to the people at large appea} to us as sensi- deliberation and thought, and as springing. from» a serious and @Qis- passionate mind and ene filled with patriotism and suggestive of sympathy for the laborer as we}! as justice to the capitailst.—Cambridge Indepen- dent Press. Hear The Great Orator. ment made iu that paper against Mr. Thwing is false and known tu 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 but it also knows that the people 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 a clean, honest and honorable man. request of his friends right here in Grand Rapids Mr. Thwing consented to become a candidate for judge of this judical district. ducted a clean, honest and honorable At the earnest He has con- 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. 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, a change, pushed to the front, into | because while slavery was still a Bryan is to speak at the Minnesota state fair on the 3lst of this month. He accepted the invitation with the understanding that no admission is to be charged on that day. He will probably discuss the tariff, and every good citizen ougbt to hear that speech. Mr. Bryan is the best informed man on that subject in the world today and he will deal with in it a manner that will be unanswerable. It is asplendid opportunity for the people of the state to hear the great orator and statesman. For Representative—52nd District.
