TO THOSE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES
•' . Ever since the success of Julius Meier in winning the
governorship against candidates of the old rarties there has
been a tendency to nominate independent candidates for
high office. However, it is hard to see how leaders of such
an enterprise can expect success to follow their efforts as
completely as it did in the Meier campaign.
At that time the Democrats were represented by a man
pared with tíhe previous low of western Minnesota. „ an accumulai-

who had won a close decision in the primaries He did not
have the magnetic personality that draws large numbers of
votes. The Republicans after a surprising primary cam
paign . had lost their nominee by death and had named
another in one of the moat hectic and unsatisfactory meet*
ings held in the state. No one was completely pleased with'
the turn of republican affairs because from the very settir g
of the meeting and its haste it was impossible to choose a
man without the charge of political manipulation.
For these reasons more than because of thé strength of
the independent candidate the result was favorable to Meier
This year conditions are different. The democrats are re
presented by a man of unquestioned integrity and of excel
lent reputation who also has touch of the personality requir
ed in vote getting to judge by past preformances After a
primary in which almost every phase of thought was repre
sented the republican candidate was chosen by a large ma
jority. Voters could have chosen a man to suit them from
the list of candidates offered.
It is necessary for all parties, all business firms and all
other enterprises to cast aside their old men occasionly and
to find new ones whose ideas and methods of thought more
nearly fit the temper of the times. The democratic party
has done so with the inauguration of Roosevelt and the Re
publications are in the process of doing the same. The so
called liberals in this state might profit by their example.
If the same leaders who have preached outright socialism
are to control the session in Salem next Monday it will be
no gain to the liberal cause.
Political liberalism whether within parties or without is
always worthy of praise for it is through it that most of our
politick! progress is made It must, however, be based on
something more tangible than fear of Wall Street, and
more constructive than condemnation of pref-ent office hold
ers and have a more inclusive program than one catch

HUROO, YOU SLAVES
A well known citizen of this county has an expressive
saying that seems to fit certain governmental groups. Mim
icing the tones of the hardboiled gang foreman he remarks,
“It isn’t because I hate you, that I beat you. It’s to show
me authority over you.”
It is impossible not to wonder if somewhat the same
attitude doesn’t manifest itself in those in authority. You
can’t do this, and you must do that, you shall have a license
for this and a permit for thatr till you’d think every man
was* a crook desirous of stealing the birthright of his
fellow man

Advocates of a state bank might be encouraged to think
of that even million bucks in the treasury that no bank will
take Banks can get as much income from government
bdnds as from state money on which 2 percent must be
paid
At that we doubt if black widow spiders ever crowd the
blond ones out of the limelight.

To plan a bank robbery one night, do it, get caught,
sentenced and arrive at the penetentiary before another
nightfall must be quite a shock to a budding highwayman.
------- O-------
When the strikers get angry enough to kick some of
their grafting bosses into the river the tie-up will be over.
The wheat market certainly has a low pulse- Stimula
tion given by the smallest crop, floods, hail storms and
drouth do not effect it and it used to flutter up and down
with every report of a chinch bug or cool wind.
Here is the longest day again, and don’t it beat the
deuce how fast they come the last few years.
We recommend the platform of Independent candidate
Wirth He promises monthly old age pensions of $75 and
up, work for all at $30 per week, low interest and lower, tax
es.’ How? We don’t know either.
Maybe when the movement gets good and started they
will do away with the legislature all together.
