Taft support and Pinchot dismissal dominate Journal’s stance
The Minneapolis Journal defends Taft pro Roosevelt policy while criticizing insurgent carping. It notes Pinchot’s dismissal by Taft after clashes over Ballinger and forestry appointments, and appraises the 1909 Williams County court records as showing strong county office performance and fiscal returns. The notice also mentions the sale of the Williston Herald to George Farries and goodwill toward new ownership.
