SSS i} EBERHART ON THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN Keynote Speech of the Repub- lican Candidate for Gov- emor at Mankato, STANDS ON HIS RECORD AS STATE EXECUTIVE By Reason of Experience Is Better Fitted to Serve in Future Than in Past, Governor A. 0. Eberhart, Repub- Hean candidate for governor, deliv- ered his keynote speech at Mankato before an audience including many prominent members of the party. He said: On the 2ist day of Inst June there assembled at St. Paul one of the most important and memorable con- Ventions ever held by the Republican party in Minnesota, It was Important because held at a time when the Democratic party, then in control of the state patronage, was bending every effort to revive the forgotten strife of prior campaigns in the Republican party and to place new obstacles in the way of harmonious action. It was memorable because more truly repre- sentative, fair and deliberative than any convention in recent years, and chiefly because, as is universally ad- mitted, it was absolutely free from domination by any clique, faction, in- terest or corporation, free to express the will of the people in the selection of candidates and the adoption of a platform. I recetved the unanimous nomination of the convention for the office of governor, and I accepted the same realizing fully the duties and Tesponsibilities involved, and pledged myself to the faithful discharge taere- of, feeling justified in believing that the unanimous nomination tendered me was an evidence that my services had been satisfactory to the people of the state. More than a year has passed since I was called to the office of governor upon the death of my brilliant and lamented predecessor, John A. John- Son, and while my position has not al- Ways been free from difficulty no one will deny that the people of this as Well as other states have given me their confidence and accorded me most kind and considerate treatment for which 1 am sincerely grateful. But Ro reception has ever touched me so deeply as the one accorded me by my fellow townsmen and neighbors here tonight, and no city could possibly con- fer greater honor upon a son. than Mankato has done on this occasion. In accepting the nomination I stat- ed that at the proper time I would Giscuss the questions pending in this state, and make clear my position with reference thereto. ‘That promise Iam here to fulfill tonight. In mak- ing such statement I shall speak frankly and without evasion, belleving firmly that right is might and that the People will choose the right. Progressive Platform. First, I stand squarely upon the platform adopted by the Republican party of this state. ‘This platform is clear, definite, comprehensive, and distinctly progressive. No Republican candidate need offer any apology el- ther for its contents or for the man- ner of its adoption. It is an admitted fact that all shades of opinion were given a square deal by that convention in the selection of a committee on resolutions, that all were permitted to be heard on the floor of the conven. tion and that no improper interest of any kind was allowed to influence the convention or its committee in the adoption of that platform. The Minnesota Republican platform takes advanced ground upon all the public questions of the day and has been used as a model in other states. It wastes no time in mere denuncia- tion, but offers specific remedies for evils complained of. In the language of Theodore Roosevelt it favors— among other things— Tariff Question, “The policy of providing for a dis- Interested revision of tarlf schedules through a high class commission of experts which will treat each schedule purely on its own merits, with a view doth to protecting the consumer from excessive prices and to securing the American, producer, and especially the American’ wageearner, what will rep- resent the difference of cost of produc. tion here as compared with the cost of production in countries where labor 4s less liberally rewarded.” The foregoing quotation from his speech delivered at the Republican state convention in New York, Sept. 27, 1s almost fdentical with the lan- guage of our own platform adopted three. months before and certifies that the Republicans of Minnesota were alive to the interests of the people, and were progressive in fact long be- fore some of our critics had come to appreciate the significance of the word, The declaration of the Minnesota Re- Dublicans in favor of a tariff commis- ns. pure “Buneo,” but he probably wrote his speech before he read Roose- velt’s speech at Saratoga. Under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt our republic is gaining a new birth of freedom. The power of the people Was never exerted as it is today. Pub- Ue conscience has been quickened and boss rule, in the Republican party at least, is a thing of the past. Ex ceptional means of education and in- | tercommunication have raised the av- erage standard of intelligence arid the Voters of today are full of knowledge and keenly alive to all the rights and duties of citizenship. ‘This has been frequently demonstrated. The re- cent action of the New York Repub- lican state convention in accepting Theodore Roosevelt's leadership is the best evidence that the rights of the People are safe in the charge of the Republican party. The political crook and pretender must be banished from public life. To deserve the honor of Public office men must render real service for the people. This is right. No man should be elected to public office who is incapable or unwilling to serve the people, honestly, fearlessly, all the time. Political Bossism. Party bossism is not entirely extinet fn Minnesota. When the Democratic party assembled in Minneapolis on July 28 last it nominated John Lind for governor, after adopting a plat- form upon which he refused to stand. Commenting upon this platform the Minneapolis Tribune said: “As represented by its platform, the Democratic party stands for nothing but critici:.n, has no other aim than but negatica, is capable of nothing but criticism, has no other aim than to get office and makes no higher bid for public confidence than the promise to carry out Republican policies better.” So much for the platform. Mr. Lind declined the nomination and the chairman of the Democratic state cen- tral committee carried his letter of declination in his inside pocket for six weeks, meanwhile regaling the public with various stories and prom ises. During this period the Demo: ‘eratie boss evolved the “Kitchen Cab: inet” candidate with a new platform— new to the boss, new to the candidate and new to the party, whose policy and action he seems to control in thia instance, County Option. The nominee of the Democratle state central committee says that he will do more than sign a county op- tion bill if passed by the legislature. He will, if elected governor, recom- mend it to the legislature. ‘Without attempting to minimize the force and effect of executive recommendations, | say in all seriousness to the people of this state, that if you do not elect a legislature in favor of county option a recommendation of the governor will not secure the passage of the law. Promises like this may sound good during a campaign, but laws are based upon the will of the people as exer- ised by thelr chosen representatives The Republican declaration is as fol lows: “The Republican party stands for the strict regulation and control of the liquor traffic. All the restrictive and regulative provisions relating to the same now on the statute books of the state are the fruits of Republican legislation, The Republican party stands for the strict and rigid en- forcement of all these provisions and for the strict and rigid enforcement of such other and future provisions as the representatives of the people, elected by the people, may in their wisdom enact; and we pledge the party to a fair, full and free consid. eration of all legislation pertaining to the liquor traffic and its regulations.” This is a straightforward statement and may be understood by all. Com: pare this statement with the language of the Democratic platform, which my opponent says justifies him in declar. ing for county option. “We hold that all questions affect: Ing the moral, political and economic welfare of the people should be direct: ly subject to the conscience and will of the people.” Could the audacity of ignorance go farther than to state that the lan- guage I have just quoted commits the Democratic party to county option? Add to this, the undisputed fact that the county option resolution was voted down in the committee on resolutions by a vote of 18 to 3 and when offered on the floor of the convention, the mover was refused a hearing, we may fairly infer the real attitude of the Democratic party on this question. Under all the circumstances the sud den conversion of the Democratic boss and his nominee to county option calls to mind the old verse: “The devil was sick, the devil a saint would be, ‘The devil was well, the devil a saint + was he.” + Severél months ago I met the frlends of county option in their state convention and defined my posi- tion. If a county option bill is passed while I am governor, I will approve and enforce it. My opponent cannot /do more although he may promise Bin Behe alley el Oowemriasss: this conservation work is the most tmportant problem now confronting the people of the state, for it includes not only the conservation of naturai but also of human resources. It in- cludes such preservation of our re- sources for the future as will not in- terfere with the proper use thereof for the present. It follows necessarily that any theory of conservation which does not provide for the present as well as the future does not cover the entire field and connot possibly bring the best results. From every aco- nomic standpoint it is desirable that the present generation should be pre- ferred, since future discoveries and in- ventions may render present resources of less value and importance to the coming generations. When, early in the present year, the people of the state showed a lively interest in the practical bearing of the conservation movement I used my influence to bring about a state conservation and de- velopment congress, the first of its Kind to be held in this country. ‘The beneficial results of this gathering are matters of recent history in the in- creased appreciation by the people of the state of its vast resources and In the widely spread attention these advantages have attracted throughout the entire country. Following this state meeting as a natural sequence came the holding in St. Paul of the Second National Conservation con- gress. which marked an epoch in the Progress of this nation-wide move- ment. Reapportionment. The Republican party is pledged to & new apportionment of the legislative districts in accordance with the con- stitution. The plank is as follows: “Believing that each and every sec- tion of the state should be fairly rep- resented in the law-making bodies, as Is provided in Section 2, Article 4, the constitution, we pledge the Re- publican party to the passage of an apportionment law by the next legis- ature based on population, as shown by the United States census for 1910, to take effect on or before Jan. 1, 1912, that will give to each county the | _ © | ok a a GOVERNOR EBERHART. representation it 1s justly entitled to in both branches of the state legis: lature.” A clean, unambiguous statement ané pledge. ‘Listen to the Democratic plank: “We are unequivocally in favor ot a reapportionment of representatior in the state legislature with a view of making the composition of that body a true reflection of the distribution | of population.” In other words the Democratic party fs unequivocally in favor of a very equivocal declaration touching reap: portionment. Its meaning, whataver it may be, is lost in the phraseology of studied concealment. The ambigu- ity in the Democratic platform is ex plained by the attitude of the Demo- cratic members of the state senate, At the last session, Senator Clague, as chairman of the committee on reap- portionment, on March 26, 1908, intro- duced S. F. 714, for a new apportion: ment, On a roll call every Democratic senator present, eighteen, _ voted against reapportionment. Had they voted in favor of the bill, it would have passed and the state would now have a fair legislative apportionment. I find no fault with these senators for voting their convictions on this or any dill, but the fact is that they were op posed to the bill and presumably had something to do with the framing of the Democratic platform. My oppo nent intimates that the failure of re apportionment at the last session is vhargeable to the Republicans. ‘The ‘ycord shows the contrary to be true Primary Law. Under the present primary law many abuses are permite’. I quote trom the Republican state platform: “It has become notorious that the great expense attendant upon primary vlection practically precludes men of moderate means from becoming can- Gidates for important offices, and ft has become a common thing for vot- ers to vote for and help to secure the nomination of men of opposite politi cal faith, for whom they do not intend to vote at the election, and we de claye that legislation is imperatively ‘needed that will reduce the expense of conducting a primary campaign and to prevent voters from aiding in the nomination of candidates that they are seeking to defeat.” | 1 am strongly in favor of amending the primary system of nomination in accordance with the platform, and ‘United States senators by popular ‘vote. The Problem of Transportation. One of the most important prob- ems before the people of the state is jthat of transportation. The Demo- ‘eratic platform is absolutely silent on that vital question. On the other hi the Republican party has placed {tse.. on record with reference to the Teguiation and control of railway, tel- egraph and telephone companies in the clearest and strongest terms, I quote from the platform: “We assert the right of national and state regulation and control over all transportation companies, whether of the people, commodities or messages; declare that all such companies are entitled to charge rates that will yield a fair profit on actual investment, meeting all actual expenses, including liberal wages for all employes, provide for deterioration, lay by a reasonable sinking fund and no more, and that the nation and state, each within its respective jurisdiction, should see that such rates are maintained and that no discrimination is allowed to be prac: ticed between individuals and locall- ties.” | Upon that plank of the platform 1 stand without reservation and through the legal department of the state 1 shall exert every effort to guard the Interests of the people in all the so called Minnesota rate cases now pend: tng before the courts. Legislative Record, Referring to the recent legislatures the Democratic platform accuses them of being: “Debauched by aggressions of mo- nopolistic and lawless wealth.” Concerning those same legislatures Governor Johnson made this signifi- cant statement in his keynote speech at Montevideo two years ago; and T quote it here, because I want to add my hearty endorsement to it: “No legislature in the history of Minnesota has enacted into law as many vital reforms or placed upon the statute books as many important measures of constructive statesman- ship as the legislatures of 1905 and 1907.” "Knowing the work of the last legis- ature it is safe to conclude that had Governor Johnson spoken today he cane 2am tee as 1909 Good Roads. One of the most important problems ‘to which it has been my privilege to devote considerable time and atten- tion is that of good roads. After se- ‘curing the passage of the “Highway ‘Commission Act” in 1905, I immedi- ‘ately set out to interest the people of the state in the appropriation of nec- ‘essary funds. Through the efforts of the press generally, good roads asso- ‘ciations, leading men, such as Hon 'R. C. Dunn, and others, together with the commission itself, there has arisen such an interest all over the state ‘with the Republican ‘platform, that the next legislature authorize the sub: mission to the people of a L-mill state road tax. It should also raise the pres- ent levy to the authorized limit of one fourth mill and amply increase the au- thority of the commission so that road construction throughout the state could be properly supervised and im proved. The state can make no better investment than the extension of aid in the supervision and construction of good public highways, not merely from a purely economic standpoint, but because it is essential In the proper development of rural schools Labor. Minnesota is rapidly advancing as a commercial and industrial state. Con sequently the protection and advance- ment of labor should receive the most careful consideration. No state can be prosperous unless its laboring classes are prosperous and amply pro- tected by the strong arm of the state. There is no question where the Repub- Mean party has stood and where it stands today with reference to labor. All the advance labor legislation on our statute books has been enacted pursuant to its policy of aiding and Protecting labor, and I shall use every effort to secure further legislation in the interest of child labor, the protec- tion of health and life of all wage earners and the enactment of a work ‘men's compensation act in accordance with the recommendations of the com- mission provided for by an act of the last legislature. Education. No state in the Union can boast of a better educational system than Min- nesota. Yet I think we are ready to admit that our state has paid too lit: fle attention to the: teaching of agri culture, industrial training and home ‘conomics in all our schools. This should be remedied immediately. The $wo conservation congresses held in St. Paul have stirred up the. interest and enthusiasm all over the state to such an extent that the time is now ripe for introducing these important branches of education in all our pub- [lic schools, thus texching the people of the state how we c.ay conserr2 cur The time has also come when our schools should be taken out of poli na a aac or a ene eae Immigration is another ircportant phase of state development. The im- migration commission should be given more funds and authority so that it may be able to render more assistance in securing settlers and in cvercoming obstacles necessarily incidest to the de- velopment of new territory. All state land should beer its fair share of the expense tn: making “local Smprove- ments, for it is altogether unjust to ask a settler to endure all the priva tions of pioneer life and in addition thereto pay the expenses of improvirg adjacent public property. Administrative Record. ‘The state administrative officers constitute one great business institu tion. In coming before the people as a candidate for governor it Is proper that an account should be rendered covering my stewardship already ren dered. Charges have been made by my opponents and the “Kitchen Cabl net” to the effect that so called busi: ess interests have been permitted to “fitch the heritage from the pecple, to threaten the integrity of our own courts and debauch our legislatures." That this wholesale accusation is in. tended for purely political effect no one can seriously doubt, but in order to show conclusively that the inter ests of the state have been carefully and efficiently guarded, I shall give a brief summary of the most important state transactions. In doing so 1 desire to give all due credit to the re spective state officers not only for their efficiency and ability, but also for the kind consideration given me and their earnest co-operation . in everything that pertains to the wel fare of the state. Record of Attorney General. Among the brilliant achievements of Republican administration during the past few years is the record made by the attorney general's office. In the so called railroad rate cases and cases in state courts against the Western Union Telegraph company and the raiiroad company for taxes, former Attorney General Young and Senator E. 8. Durment have been em- ployed as special counsel, but in the numerous important timber and tax cases that have been carried to the United States supreme court Attorney General Simpson and his assistants have conducted the litigation and made the arguments, This is said to be the first instance in which a state has appeared in the United States supreme court without the aid of outside counsel. ‘The total collections made by the attorney general's office from 1905 to July 1, 1910, inclusive, amount to a grand total of $2,330,735.29. But what was more important than the amounts collected, was the sus taining of the timber acts of the state and the power of the state to pass laws of a most stringent character dealing with timber trespassing, Secretary of State. In the office of the secretary of state many important reforms have been instituted by the present i2 cumbent, Julius A. Schmabl. In the Payment of filing fees, the laws have deen strictly enforced, and the record of the two years ending July 31, 1910, shows that the state has received near ly $25,000 more in filing fees than dur- ing the two years preceding. Another enactmept for which this department should tb given credit is that permit: ting proposed amendments to the con- stitution to be published in at least three newspapers in each county, thereby giving every voter a better opportunity to become familiar with the provisions of the proposed amend. ments. Another measure enacted by the legislature is the one directing the secretary of state to secure an annual Ueense for every dining and buffet car where liquor is sold while the car is in the state. ‘Through this legislation the secretary has collected several thousand dollars annually. The en: forcement of the ticket agent license law has been diligently made, and today the state is realizing large sums from this source. ‘The secretary of state, together with the auditor and treasurer, con- stitute the state printing commission, in charge of state printing. The aver. age yearly expenditure for such work during the last eighteen years has been $57,924.61, but the average ex- penditure for the four years ending Aug. 1, 1910, was only $55,272.12, whereas the average expenditure for the four years just preceding was $85, 089.58. Thus it is shown that while the printing has increased largely as to amount, the average cost has been greatly reduced. State Auditor. Undoubtedly one of the most im: portant offices in the state is that of auditor, and the record of that office during ‘the past few years is not sur- passed in the history of the state. ‘Through the persistent efforts of Audi tor Iverson and the attorney general, a large amount of swamp lands, have been recovered by the state and while the value of the timber upon these lands exceeds a million dollars, it is believed that they also contain’a val uable amount of iron ore. In secur- ing these swamp land grants the state has conducted one of the most im- portant contests before the interior de- partment. Minnesota was the pioneer state in conserving her natural resources, and is now reaping its reward. The auditor is the custodian of the per- manent school fund, which new ag- gregates $26,977,225.14, and it 1s es- Umated that this fund will be in- creased from the royalties on fron ore to the extent of $200,000,000 more. snd administrative ability of the guardians of our school fund. The State auditor ‘@ tae custodian of this fund, and thé present incumbent of the office, Hon. 8. G. Iverson, has made an enviaSle record in the pro- tection of the interests of the state and in the enforcement of all laws Pertaining to his office, | rattrosa and Warehouse Commission. ‘The work of the railroad and ware- house commission and its important bearing on the interests and welfare of the people clearly illustrate the in- creased importance of this depart- ment. Minnesota has now obtained Tecognition as one of the most ad- vanced states in the Unton in rela- tion to its railroad legislation, and the successful administration . of these laws. Its duties are varied and each year increase in scope and tm: Portance, embracing generally all question3 or grievances that may arise between the public and the railroad companies. ‘The railroad and warehouse commis- sion has taken an active part in the trial of the rate cases. It has realized fully that these cases involve some of the most momentous problems ever Presented to any tribunal. On the one hand lies the taking from the peo- ple of the state by unjust rates a sum of money beyond computation, and on the other, depriving the railroads of the state unjustly of the very means for performing a necessary public service. Between these two extremes lies the right medium, which it is be- Heved and hoped by both sides in this ease, will finally be determined. With reference to express rates, the commission has also rendered’ the state valuable services. After a thor- ough inquiry and investigation, an or- der was made reducing express raves 20 per cont on merchandise and pro- duce and correcting a number of in- equalities which previously existed. The commission, composed of Judge Ira Mills, C.F. Staples, candidate for re-election this year, and Elias E. Elmquist, ranks in’ personnel ard services rendered with any like bocy in the entire country. State Highway Commission. The state highway commission was organized in January, 1906, in order to meet a great demand for improve- ment of the public highways. The theory of road betterment, as at first outlined, contemplated the construc- tion of expensive and permanent roads of stone and gravel, but a careful in- ‘vestigation of road conditions con- vinced the commission that the in- terests of the people could be better served by applying state aid to the general improvement of the common earth roads. This plan has been con- sistently carried out, and so far has met the general approval of the peo- ple, A marked improvement has been noted in the method of construct‘on by town and county authorities, who have been informed, advised and in- structed by the commission, through the medium of correspondence, print- ed instructions and personal visits. ‘Summing Up. ‘This is a summary of the important issues in this campaign, my position with reference thereto and a brief ac- counting of my short stewardship. As the executive of a great business in- stitution I have reported to the board of directors and stockholders. It is for the people of the state to judge whether or not I have discharged my duty faithfully and conscientiously, so that 1 may be deserving of their re- newed confidence. Like all others who have occupied important public positions I have made mistakes. No man ever received better treatment at the hands of the public, and while some criticism may have been unjust, I have always consoled myself with the thought that unjust criticism could not injure and just criticism was an invaluable guide to follow in the path of duty. The press of the state has been especially friendly and I wish to express my appreciation of its loyal and unselfish support, Whatever may have been the shortcomings of this ad- ministration, I can go before the peo- ple of the state with the assurance that I have endeavored to give them the very best service of which I was capable; that I have labored diligently to learn the needs of the state and its great opportunities for development, and that by reason of such experience 1 have become better fitted to serve in the future than in the past. To merit the confidence and good will of the people has been my sole ambition and I leave my case in their hands, feeling that their verdict will be just. ‘The true greatness of our state can- not be measured in terms of wealth, territory, commerce or industry, but rather in the prosperity and happiness of the people, the purity of the homes, the efficiency of the schools, the sane. tity of the churches, the enforcement of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and tne honesty and integrity of our citizenship. Our work at the polls should therefore be an endorsement of what is highest, cleanest and most intelligent in American citizenship. True, we can- not expect to eradicate selfishness and approach perfection, but we have a right to expect that the public con- science shail continue to quicken and Om AS SSP RUT | ats SR el tT | tT | tft i a aa IRRIGATION FROM MELTED ICE Proposed Amendments * —T0 THE— Constitution Minnesota ie The Legislature General Session 1909. ‘St. Paul, Minn., May 1, 1910.

FICATIONS. : In Goyernor Adolph 0; Eberhart the Republicans of Minnesota have a candidate who exemplifies the prog. ressive spirit of today. He is a gov. emor who has “made good.” “He 18 8 candidate of whom the party has Yeason to be proud, and in whom the people of the state, irrespective of party or of political afiilation, have every confidence. ‘The Republi ‘can party candidate, still a young man, hag lived a life that has been full “and. active. A man. of ability ‘and of character, rich in the human ‘instinct ‘of kindness and of generous interest, his enthusiasms are those of the ‘people with whom he lives. He ‘represents the ideal that today actuates the people of Minnesota. He Knows the history of his state, he is proud of its past and possesses a prophetic insight. into its. wonderful future. He is the advance agent of progress and the square deal. His lite has been one that appeals to the American public. Born of sturdy, Swedish ancestry, he came to this country @ small boy of ten years. From that time until man hhood, he contended against poverty and ‘disadvantage. His life was ad Infrably set to encompass" within himself the highest ideals of Amer can eitizenship. A struggling bo} on the farm, later riding a horse on a raneh, there was always before him the ideal of education and of training. In those early days, he realized the spitit of development of conservation of mind and body. Later, as a poor boy working his way through college, his ideals never wavered. The spirit of accomplishment and the determina on to do things, to overcome difl culties and surmount obstacles, bred in him by his early struggles, are the characteristics of this man of the hour in Minnesota. Quiet and modest in his demeanor almost to the point of difidenee, there is a quiet persistency and a de termination of instinct in the Re publican party's candidate for gov emor, that enables him to carry his Point’ and to. accomplish. Governor Eberhart is a realization of the best citizenship of Minnesota | Governor Bberhart's candidacy rest upon a record of exceptional. value to the state of Minnesota, not_alone in his official capacity, but in. the larger service of directing attention to the greatness of Minnesota in its resources, its achievements and its possibilities. He bas not only discharged the reg ular duties of his office with prompt ness, thoroughness and fairness tc ail interests and attended all. im portant meetings of the Various stat boards of which he is a member, but he has lost no opportunity toad vance the best interests of the stat through a wide range of speaking en Sagements both at home and abroad During Governor Bherhart’s. shor Incumbency he has addressed some | of the most notable gatherings in the country—ineluding the Convention o the Upper Mississippi River Improve ment Association at Winona, the Na tional Rivers and Harbors ‘Congres: in Washington, the Deep Waterways Convention in ‘New Orleans, the Na tional’ Farm Lands Congress in Chi eago, the Governor's Conference in Washington, the bangeut of the Ham fiton Club in Chicago, the Nationa Convention of Advertising Men i Omaha, and the South Dakota Con servation Congress in Pierre—on eact of whieh occasions “he delivered ar J adaress devoted to exploiting » the Agricultural, commercial and materia | advantages’ generally of the ‘state | As a direct result of these various | appearances the State of Minnesot | hag received an immense amount o! valuable publicity, the practical bene At of which can be noted in the in | creased demand for detailed informa tion as to the agricultural advantages business opportunities, rates of tax | ation and other matters, shown b: || the correspondence of the Immigra tion Bureau, Auditor's Office ant J other executive departments. || In short, it has been Minnesot || Publicity, father than personal 0 | political publicity. for the governor. To Governor Bberhart is due in ¢ | large measure the splendid succes | of the State Development and Con | servation Congress of last Mareh Which is conceded by both press an public to have done its best work ir | arousing the citizens of Minnesota t | a full realization of the state's great || ness, both actual and potential. Thi | gathering was followed by develop || ment meetings indifferent section: | ot the state, which have already re | sulted in great. practical benefit an¢ to which Governor Eberhart has giver | his hearty encouragement. | His part in the promotion of th ) National Conservation Congress, re cently held in St. Paul, and marke | by the presence of Prosiaent Taft an | Theodore Roosevelt, was the natura | culmination of the conservation move | ment inaugurated in this state, 0 | which Governor Eberhart was’ ad | mittedty the father. || Governor Eberhart has responde | promptly and generously to the man; demands upon his time and strengtl by. the ‘various commercial, “agricul tural and educational organizations 0 the state, regardless of personal anc political considerations, and has come into close touch with the real need: of all classes of citizens in the state thus enabling him to conduct the bust ness of his office and to influence the departments under his control to th best interest. of the whole people. Governor Hberhart has. given. par | Ueutar attention to the needs of ‘th || State. University and Agricuttura earnest of its future. That steward- ship, covering a period ot years, Yeaves nothing to the explanation of accident. The party, like. its candi- date, has “made good.” Today the state treasury contains a million dol- lars more than in any previous year. One officer alone, the Attorney Gen- ‘eral, has collected through litigation, ssettiement and otherwise, the sum of $1,054,722.82. He has inaugurated the Prineiple of the collection of inher itance taxes on the estates of foreign residents, which -in the case of the late John 8. Kennedy has yielded $245,925.25, and which will yield un- told revenues in the future. He has done this without the aid of outside counsel and at a cost to the state for the conduct of his office of $24, 900.00 per year. ‘The one collection alone will pay the cost of the At- torney General's office for more than 138 years, Conservation has been the key-note of the Republican administration. As a practical illustration of this, the work of the State Drainage Commis- sion established by the legislature of 1901, is an excellent example, Ditches are being built throughout the state and plans are on foot for material improvements which, when executed, ‘will involve the expenditure of over half a million dollars, from which the benefits will be incalculable, From a small beginning, the State Drainage Board is now regarded as one of the ‘most important branches of the state government, In its reclamation of swamp lands and with its quieting of titles from the government, the state has given another example of a practical ap- plication of the policy of conservation. ‘The value of these lands, with thelr timber and mineral, cannot be estl mated. ‘That conservation, from the outset of Republican administration, has al- Ways been the keynote of Republican legislation, even though the name was then unknown, is shown by the school fund of Minnesota, Under the df- rection of Alexander Ramsey, the first Republican governor, in the early sixties, coupled with the foresight and wise legislation of subsequent lesis- lation, Minnesota has today the larg: est permanent school fund of any state in the Union or of any similar Sovernment in the world. It was dye to Alexander Ramsey that school ‘lands were sold for not ess than $5.00 an acre, while on the pine lands, the timber and land were to be sold ‘separately, The effect was to take the public lands of Minne- sota off the market and to preserve them for the future. While other States were selling land at $1.25 an acre, Minnesota's Innds were increas- ing in value so that for three forty- acre tracts of swamp lands the state Feceived more money than the states of Wisconsin and Michigan combined have obtained for the whole of their public domain, When Governor Ramsey fought for the conservation of state lands, iron ore had not been discovered. In 1889 the principle was established that in every sale of public land the ore should he reserved for the state. The total estimated income from royalties ‘on fron ore properties has aggregated $1,891.832.86 and the state has only Just begun to reap the real harvest The result in figures dazzles. the imagination. Conservation has al: ready resulted in 2 permanent school fund of over $21,000,000.00 as. com: pared with $4.270,411.62 for Michigan and $2,723,599.12 for Wisconsin. ‘This.means that as a result of Re- publican legislation, Minnesota wil lend the world in its educational in- stitutions. It means that the fore sight exhibited and the statesman ship employed by early Republican leaders and continued by the Re Publican party of today, will yield richly in that greatest of all subjects of conservation—the development of the human mind, BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF RE- PUBLICAN CANDIDATES, HON.

Although the youngest member of the senate in 1903 and 1905, he succeeded in secur. ing the passage of several important acts, chief among Which are the high- way commission act, the law prohibit. ing the giving or receiving of rebates, and several amendments to the rail Way and warehouse commission act, granting to the commission absolute control over railway rates, classifica- tions, discriminations against locali ties “and individuals; also, authority to examine books and records of rail- ‘way companies and prosecute _pro- ceedings before the Interstate Com- ‘merce Commission. His record in ‘the state senate brought him prominently befroe the people, and in 1906 he was chosen as the party's candidate for lieutenant Bovernor, the convention nominating him with a large majority on the first ballot. At the election he received a majority of about 32,000 votes, al- ‘though the late Governor Johnson ‘was elected with a Democratic majority of about 72,000 votes. He was te- elected in 1908 by a majority of 55,- 874 and became governor of Minne- sota September 20, 1909, by the death of Governor John’ A. Johnson, The new executive took the oath of office September 21, 1908, and although he assumed the ‘office’ as the result of the death of one who was one of the ‘most popular, if not the most. popular governor, in the state's history, the record made by Governor Eberhart is worthy of his predecessor. ‘The policies of the late governor with re- gards to advancement of the interests of the state are being carried out under the new rule, and the only aiffterence noticeable is that less poll tics are found among the office as sistants in the executive's office than formerly.

There can be only two modes by which the waters flowing into the Dead sea can escape from it—elther by underground percolation or by evaporation. It is extremely improb- able that any considerable quantity escapes by the former mode, and we are further led to suppose, for two 00d reasons, that evaporation ac- counts for maintaining the steady level of that sea. First, the sea remains intensely salt. The Dead sea contains about five thmes as much solids in so- lution as does the ocean. This in- tense saltness could not be maintained with comparatively fresh river water pouring into ft for thousands of years, unless the water in escaping, left be: hind the saline substances, Evapora. tion Is the only process that would ac. count for this. Secondly, the heat in ‘The Dead sea valley is overpowering. ‘The temperature in the Jordan valley has been known to rise in August to 118 degrees, even opposite Jericho, and it would be even higher in the Dead sea gorge.

"The Republican platform refers to these amendments to the Constitution that were passed by the Republican party for protection of the Afro-American. The Afro-American, in the forty years since he was freed from slavery, has made remarkable progress. He is becoming a more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The education of the Afro-American is being expanded and improved in every way. The best men of both races, at the north as well as at the south, ought to rejoice to see growing up among the southern people an influential element disposed to encourage the Afro-American in his hard struggle for industrial independence and assured political status. The Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to face or color, and just as justification or for the enforcement, and without regard to the letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play.-Hon. Wm. H. Taft's letter accepting Republican nomination for Presidency. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1910. "TO ARMS, THEY COME, THE GREEKS, THE GREEKS." The goodly town of Tarpon Springs, situated on the lower portion of Florida, is in a decidedly bad fix. The industry of the city is the sponge fishery, in which nearly all of the inhabitants are engaged. The Floridian method of gathering sponges has been, from time immemorial, to drag them up from the vasty deep by means of the "hooker," a kind of three-pronged rake. But a few years ago, some misguided Tarponspringsite imported a Greek diver to settle in the town. The diver came, settled, dived and made a big thing out of it. Then he wrote for all of his brothers, nephews, cousins and brothers-in-law to come and settle and dive. And, accordingly they all came and settled and dived until they captured the town, cornered the market and W. H. PRESIDE NT TAFT. "I am fully alive to the heart pangs that an Afro-American endures when suffering from the contemptuous insults of white men not at all his equal, either in point of intelligence or devotion to duty. I know the sense of injustice that has oftentimes burned itself into his breast when he realizes that his rights have been trampled upon and his claims to fair treatment rejected solely because of his skin." —William H. Taft. put the Floridians out of business. In fact, Tarpon Springs has become a Greek town, with three Greek citizens to one American. Even on the signs, instead of John Smith and Peter Brown, one finds the names of Demetrius Sminthens and Epaminondas Hesutontiniorumens. And the latter respectable gentlemen are controlling the sponge trade of Tarpon Springs, much to the disguest of the aborigines, whose acquaintance with the Greek language is by no means extensive, and who would blaspheme Homer and Aristophanes themselves, were they to butt into the sponge trade. Well, a great many southern journals are just longing for white immigration. A glance at Tarpon Springs may suggest some ideas to them.

On the contrary, during the year there were many important extensions of such facilities." There were appointed 1,800 new clerks, 1,000 carriers, and 750 new railway employees.

In 1887 the Russian Minister of the Interior issued the following order: Interior issued the following order: "The gymnasiums, high schools and universities will henceforth refuse to receive as pupils or students the children of domestic servants, peasants, tradesmen, petty shop keepers, farmers and others of like conditions, whose progeny should not be raised from the circle to which they belong and be thereby led to become discontented with their lot, and irritable against the inevitable inequalities of the existing social pitiations." We think that our readers will admit that the foregoing is as terse and emphatic as if it had been composed in Mississippi. In fact the Mississippi legislature could readily adapt it for domestic use by simply substituting "Afro-American" for the names of classes mentioned. Moreover American Bishops and Senators have given utterance to similar sentiments. Indeed there seems to be in the United States an evident trend to the opinion that the republican form of government is a failure. ```markdown ``` Saves $11,500 in One Year. 550, and Salaries Are Raised $3,226,000 Facilities. was completed at the Postoffice De- postal deficit during the fiscal year 500,000.

We are on the eve of a most important election. In the event of the election of a Democratic House this year the injury to the country in general would be great and to the Afro-American it would be a calamity. We wish to continue to enjoy the good times we now have, and the only way to be assured that prosperity will continue is to stand by the Republican party. We should not try any experiments or indulge any petty spite, as every vote is needed, and where any one fails to vote for the Republican candidate that is equivalent to a half vote for the opposition. This is an important matter, especially in some of the close Congressional districts, for it is necessary to have a Republican Congress to uphold a Republican President. It is possible that some objectionable men may be on the ticket in certain localities, but there is so much at stake this time that they should be overlooked. Do not take any chances by voting a split ballot. VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET STRAIGHT. WHAT THE RACE OWES THE RE PUBLICAN PARTY. We cannot really believe that any Afro-American has an intention to vote for Democrats for congress, but the Chicago Tribune is not sure upon that matter. It says: "If the past is recalled by the Afro-American he will not fail to appreciate the fact that every privilege he has in this country came to him at the hands of the Republican party. Every proposition looking towards his welfare was fought by the Democrats during the long years of struggle over the Negro question following the close of the Civil War. The history of the United States tells its own conclusive story on those points. Free dom, manhood, educatin, suffrage opportunity were given by the Republican party." D HON. FRANKLIN MAC VEAGH The foregoing shows what the Afro-American owes to the Republican party, and it is only fair to state what he owes to the Democratic party, as follows: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery, peonage, Jim Crowism, lynching and degradation. OUTLOOK NOT PROMISING Commenting on Dr. Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate for governor of New Jersey, the Washington Herald says: "It is only by selecting men of the highest type, and then meeting the issues of the day saneily and squarely, that the Democratic party can hope to be rehabilitated." If the above is true, we fear the outlook for the party is not very promising. It is not that kind of a party. It includes in its ranks too many vicious elements who can not be controlled by the men of the highest type—the illiterates of the South and the undesirables of the North and it is this vicious crew that must be catered to in shaping the policy of the party. Hence THE APPEAL entertains no fear that the party will achieve anything more than a few local successes. AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY Dr. Wilbur Chapman predicts that the whole world is ripe for a revival and that if a hundred influential business men will take the proper active interest in the evangelization movement "the whole world, including China, Japan and Australia, will be rocking with the power of God within five years." Then that unchristian race prejudiced journal, the Washington Times, says: His message, promising the ultimate conversion of the Mohammed heathen, the Bhuddist heathen, EQUAL RIGHTS PLANK. "The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the Afro-American. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without-regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, the enforcement in letter and spirit, and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution were designed for the protection and advancement of the Afro-American, and we condemn all devices which have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." and the Confucian heathen to the Christian faith ought to move the Christian church to great rejoicing. THE APPEAL fails to see any reason for such a conclusion and many reasons for discerning its utter absurdity. The trend among nearly all nations is in the direction of war. All of the religion which is alleged to exist in the United States does not prevent the newspapers from being filled with their scandalous tales of graft white slave trade, divorce, stealing lynching and plain murder. The colored races of the East would do well to consider carefully before accepting the American brand of Christianity. As Mohammedans, Buddhists or Confucianists they can hold up their heads and retain their self-respect. Converted to Christianity, they would become "niggers" in the sight of white American Christians and would be "jimcrowed" just as the Afro-Americans have been.

PROHIBITION DOES NOT PROHIBIT The main argument now used against state-wide prohibition laws is that they do not prohibit. It is an argument not invented by the liquor interests and used by them exclusively, but is the conclusion arrived at by many disinterested observers. The Indianapolis News gives the following summary of results: "Just now Greene county is much disturbed over these conditions. The clubs are comparatively numerous and positively successful. It is said that practically any discreet person can get a drink in them—presumably on a visitor's ticket or some such liberal arrangement. The Jasville neighborhood is said to consume a carload of beer a day, and Linton takes from forty to sixty cases. Naturally, there is more or less drunkenness, which is far from satisfactory to the good citizens of a county that voted "dry" by a majority of nearly 3,000, as Greene did." Similar accounts come from so many other quarters that it would require a vast amount of reliable testimony to controvert them. In consequence it is very easy to see that the prohibition wave is receding very rapidly; it has been demonstrated that state-wide prohibition is a failure THE APPEAL never endorsed the movement, as it was easy to see that prejudice against the Afro-American fully accounted for its popularity in the South. THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN ED ITORS It is a remarkable fact that the Caucasian editors persist in speaking of the Afro-Americans of the United States as if they were as wild, ignorant and uncultivated as the tribes THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma- scientious discharg- to stand alone; ther ant, intolerant ju- demn, the counter- may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relatives friends.—Charles S I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. of the jungles of Africa. For instances the Washington Herald says: stresses the Washington Herald says: "The Negro does not know by inheritance or early training how to care for himself, either as to temperature or sanitation. He still needs supervision and instruction, even compulsory, in such affairs of self-preservation." The foregoing is true in reference to a large fraction of the race, just as it is true of a very large number of both races. So far as the North is concerned, there is very little difference in the intelligence or mode of living of members of the two races, if we compare individuals of about equal means of living. It would be hard to find, in any part of the United States, any Afro-Americans who need supervision and instruction as to sanitary matters so badly as the miners in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. According to the testimony of credible witnesses, the miners live in a condition of utter disregard of the rules of decency or hygiene. The case of the Afro-American is not a peculiar one; as a general thing he compares, class by class, very well with his white neighbors. Rev. W. Benson Rubusana Ph. D., who has been returned as a member of the provincial parliament for Cape Colony, South Africa, is said to be the first Kaffir who has found a seat in that house. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for Congress in every district. A Republican Congress is needed to uphold a Republiican President. Afro-Americans in close Congressional districts should work hard to elect Congressmen. We cannot afford to lose a single district. If you desire the election of a Republican House you must vote for the Republican candidate for Congress in your district. IN HIGH PLACES.

President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham are said agreed upon a most important appoin- tment for the Afro-American race, in pursuance of a policy that is PETER H. BURGESS being worked out of as broad recognition of that race in federal appointments as possible. The man who is to secure the highest honor ever given to the Afro-American in federal appointments is William H. Lewis, who is now assistant United States attorney at Boston. If the program goes through, as now arranged, Lewis is to be appointed assistant attorney general of the United States to fill one of the vacancies existing at the Department of Justice. Lewis has been assistant attorney at Boston for eight or ten years and has an admirable record as a lawyer and legal representative of the government. He is a graduate of both Amherst and Harvard Colleges. At Amherst he was the captain of the football team and at Harvard he was the most noted center rush that institution ever knew. As assistant attorney general of the 'ed States it will be necessary to assign him to some of the most important legal work of the government, and he will come in frequent contact with senators, representatives and others naving business with the department. e when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- seen raised against e and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. must speak and light the wrongs of r Wilcox WEEK'S RECORD IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL.

He is very painstaking in the duties of his office and looks over all papers carefully, frequently giving advice as to proper wording.

She is small, slender, essentially girlish, with a dainty etheral beauty, which first of all appeals to the gentler sex. So long associated with the character of "Lena Rivers," which she wrote and created, it was no easy task to find a successor to that most successful play; but in "The Little Girl That He Forgot," she has not only written a play as good as "Lena Rivers," but better, containing all the sweetness of character and the heart interest that made "Lena" so successful. The play is written around broader and stronger lines, giving the actress an opportunity for emotional work of the highest order. The comedy element is prominent all through the action of the play. A car load of magnificent scenery is carried. The electrical and mechanical effects are said to be marvels of ingenuity. The support company is strong and well balanced "The Little Girl He Forgot" will be at the Grand next week, commencing Sunday matinee. Oct. 30. Here is the thing we needed! HOTEL COSBY S. W. Cosby.

"Haul, Guest! We ask not what thou art. If friend, we greet thee hand and heart; heart. If stranger, such no longer be; If Joe our love shall conquer thee. Old friends and new friends let's all be good friends together because we want to cut out formality for a while and have a real nice heart to heart talk with you. From time to time we hear from the lips of those who are but partially acquainted with us, the words— "Oh, an Elk is just a good fellow, and that's all." Now we don't object to being called "good fellows,"—not by a jug full— because one of the most essential qualities of a good Elk is that of good fellowship, for a bad fellow at heart; but yet qualified as a good Elk; but we don't like the way those people say it—wonder all." It seems to imply that an Elk is a kind of good fellow who is really not a good fellow. People sometimes make the mistake of judging a class by an individual member of that class, more often than not picking out a poor specimen as an example, too, and we feel assured that this is just what has been done in our case. By this statement we know that we acknowledge that poor specimens exist among us, and where in the world will you not find good, bad and indifferent elements associated with each other; but from the time of our birth as Ells, up to the present moment, it has ever been our environment do as much as possible towards the moral betterment of ourselves and our women, and it is our intention to go on making efforts in that direction. Men banded together for the purpose of advancing the principles which are based on the cardinal virtues of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity, must necessarily be more than "just good fellows" in the sense in which those words are used with reference to us, now don't you think so? Of course you do. Our little talk is ever. We trust you understand us a little better than you did before it began. However, let us once more extend to you our hands the Friend from the North, South, East, or West. When you cross our threshold as a guest, Shake sadness, let gladness all thoughts enhance; And now, sweet guest, let's on with the dance!

Favorably impressed, he softly deposited on the steps, his wee burden of blessedness. The Wise's pleasure at the Stork's thoughtfulness was tempered by Mrs. Wise's following illness and her inability to provide nourishment for the Blessing. It looked as tho the precious gift might be taken away. Wise's doctor saved the day. He said "DIGESTO." Mrs. Wise became healthy and rosy and the Blessing became healthy and rosy.

TALENTED CONVICTS GO FREE Song and Poetry Bring Pardon to Two; Cartoon Work Frees Third. A prisoner has just been released from jail because he sang well. Only a little while ago a convict was pardoned because he wrote poetry. This sort of thing can be prolonged indefinitely, the Cleveland Plaindealer remarks. Convict Bill Drydock will be pardoned next month because he is a fine cartoonist. With a bit of plumbago and a whitewashed wall Bill drew a striking likeness of Banker Swoop, who is his seatmate in the prison dining room. Convict Joe Skeetch, the notorious Brooklyn thug, has developed rarest talent as a carver. A rolling pin he whitted out of a bed leg for the warden's wife shows a high degree of art craft skill. Active measures are being taken to interest the governor in Joe's behalf. Convict Mulky 'Sludge, the kidnapper, has made a monkey wrench out of a bit of iron hoop from a water pail and two yards of wire from a broom. The fact that he tried to brain Guard Tomkins with this ingenious tool will not weaken a determined effort to secure the governor's recognition of Mulky's remarkable mechanical skill. Convict Twigg, who poisoned the ice cream at the Methodist church picnic in Skinkie's woods in the suburbs of Weehankow last May, has developed a keen interest in line engraving. Entirely unaided, his only tools being a shoemaker's awl and a bit of sandpaper, he made a plate for a $2 bank bill which was so well done that he had no trouble in selling it to a visitor for two pounds of cut plug, a box of knockout drops, three files and a bottle of sulphuric acid. Convict Twigg's birthday comes next Monday, and his leading birthday gift will be an unconditional pardon. Looking Ahead. "So you want women to vote?" "I have declared myself to that effect." said the keen politician. "And I suppose you want to see a woman elected to the office you now hold!" "No. After they have held a few spirited conventions I don't think any of them will have enough personal popularity among the members to secure even an indorsement. But there's no reason why they shouldn't all vote for me as their champion." After Dark The Easy Chair—I don't suppose there's a bit of fun about you—you're so deuced old. The Colonial Sewing Table With Brass Knobs—Who says I'm old? The Easy Chair—Why, master said so. He said you was a George II, antique. The Sewing Table—That's what he said, is it?

Pettijohn as state treasurer to take the place made va- cant by the death of Clarence C. Dine-_ hart. To have appointed any of the various candidates for the position would have given the appointee an unfair advantage over his competitors which was not in accordance with the Governor's ideas of fairness and equity. The expressions of approval and satisfaction from all sections of the state is sufficient evidence of the governor's tact and diplomacy. It also indicates to the observer that Eber- hart has a tremendous hold on the popular mind, and possesses the con- fidence and esteem of the masses.— Mankato Free Press, Appointment Made Friends, Gov. Eberhart's appointment of W. £, Hale to succeed Judge Brooks of Minneapolis is one to be commended. And he made a great many friends in the appointment of this able jurist— Madison Lake ‘Tribune, ‘WIN Sian Cation Bit Gov. A. ©. Eberhart formally opened the campaign at Mankato, his home town, on Tuesday evening, in one of the best'speeches made by him dur- Ing the year. His position upon the leading questions of the day was fair- ly and forcibly stated, and as to coun- ty option he stands precisely where he did prior to the state convention. He will sign a bill if passed by the legis- lature, and no governor could do more. —Hastings Gazette. For People to Decide, The Keynote speech of Gov. Eber- hart is clear and to the point. | There Is no. equivocation—no evasion—no Subterfuge. On the question of county option he goes as far as he can go, in pledging that if a county option bill is passed while he is governor, he will approve and enforce it. This ‘puts it up to the people to elect a legisla- ture to the enactment of such a mea- Sure, and that will settle the question. —Detroit Record. Democrats Indorse Eberhart. ‘The Democratic state convention en- dorsed the position of Gov. Eberhart that the question of county option was one for the legislature to settle. Now let the Democrats walk up and sup- port Eberhart—St, Cloud Journal Press. ‘The County Option “Keynote” Mr. James Gray, the Democratic can- didate for Governor, has delivered his Promised “keynote” speech. In most matters Mr. Gray sticks close to the State Platform, but in one important respect he makes a wide divergence from it. As has been ex- pected, he declared with emphasis for county option, and, going a step far- ther than Governor Sberhart—who has pledged himself to sign a county potion bill, if the Legislature passes one—Mr. Gray promises to recommend the measure to the Legislature. ‘This is spectacular rather than im- portant. The Legislature is not likely fo be influenced one way or the other by a Gubernatorial recommendation, especially if it is Republican and the recommender is Democratic. Governor Eberhart has covered in his pledge the only real way in which the Governor can possible figure in the matter— ‘Minneapolis Journal. Mat Party. Mistasan Gov. Eberhart in the early spring appeared before the county optionists of the state. He told them frankly thatit was not within his province to dictate the policy of his party on this important question. That county op- tion was a legislative question, and that if a county option measure was Passed during his incumbency as gov- ernor he would sign the measure. He reiterated this statement at Mankato Tuesday evening and the republican platform declares for “full and free consideration of all legislation pertain- ing to the liquor traffic and its regula- tion.” Under the conditions as they exist, taking into consideration the platform of the two parties, as well ag the declarations of the two candi- dates, the Standard cannot understand how either county optionist or anti can support Mr. Gray.—Fairfax Stand- ard. Painting the Pump to Purify the Well. Governor Eberhart turned out one phrase Tuesday night which will live thirauah the Caninaian and ds hin enna Governor A. O. Eberhart has submitted his case to the people of Minnesota and the members of the Minnesota press have not been backward in giving him a certificate of character that cannot help but be a pleasure, and satisfaction to the members of the party which placed him and other state candidates in nomination. The extracts are taken from the papers of the state which have been sent to the gov- ernor’s office and furnish a true index of public opinion in their respec- tive localities. service. He was discussing the atti- tude of both parties toward county op- tion when he said, “The Democrats have painted the pump to purify the well.” It is so graphic and so apt as to be readily grasped by everybody. Mr. Gray is for county option, and, as the choice of John Lind, was probably selected partly because he is an option- ist, but it is well understood that his party is not for county option. So the Well remains as before, and painting the pump with county’ option paint does not purify the water supply —St. Paul Pioneer Press. A Bemocratic Opinion, The following from the Red Wing Free Press, for years one of the strongest and uncompromising Dem ocratic papers in the state, is signifi cant: James Gray, who is running for Gov- ernor on the Democratic ticket, occu- Dies a most peculiar position, ‘In the first place he is not the nominee of the Democratic party, and in the sec ond place he is not’ running on the Democratic platform as adopted by the Democratic state convention. Mr. Gray is the nominee ‘of Frank Day and John Lind, The state conven tion, which nominated John Lind for Governor, had not a word to say about ‘Mr. Gray’ for the office, although sev. eral names besides that of Lind were Proposed or mentioned. Whether Day and Lind selected Gray because his views on county option coincide with their own, or because he was the only ‘one who ‘could be found willing to make the run, is an unimportant ques tion. Both factors probably entered into the case, _ Instead of abiding by the decision of the state convention on the sub Ject of county option—the convention having shown itself opposed to option in the ratio of at least twenty-five to one—Mr. Gray in his “keynote” speech declares himself in favor of county op- tion and pledges himself to urge the legislature to pass a county option bill, Aside from showing Mr. Gray to be at variance with the party on whose ticket he is running, his declaration on the subject has but little meaning If the legislature does not contain a majority favoring county option the Governor's recommendation will no change it. No Governor, pledged ot unpledged on the subject, would veto such a bill if passed. Consequently, the ante-election pose by the guberna torial aspirant, whoever he happens to be, has no other significance than that of an appeal for votes from a certain element. And since that element is not the Democratic party, which in this case will be alienated instead of attracted by the attitude of the cand- idate, the question arises, has the Democratic party any gubernatorial candidate at all? To the Free Press it seems as if James Gray were the candidate of the county option and prohibition factions in all parties, making use of the Demo- cratic party organization for campaign purposes only. Position Fair And Reasonable. it seems to the Times that the crit- icism of Gov. Eberhart by the county option delegates to the convention last week was unjust. The governor's statement of his position with refer- ence to county option seems fair and reasonable—Olivia Times. Eberhart and County Option. Will some kind Democrat or near- Democrat give one sound reason why Governor Eberhart should have pledg- ed himself to county option at last week's convention? ‘There were pres- ent half as many Democrats as Repub- Ncans, and fully as many near-Dem- ocrats as true Republicans, and yat some people professing to be Republi- cans appear to think that the head of the Republican party in the state should, in a large measure, pledge his party to a cause dictated by so mixed a crowd of politicians. The Governor did the only thing a man in his poaition with an ounce of common sense could do. His pledge to sign a county option ill, should one be passed by the legislature, should be sufficient for the enactment of law, the fundamental right and the exclusive duty of the legislature—Luverne Her- ald. Personal Life Praised. Governor Eberhart’s personal life harmonizes perfectly with a county op- tion platform, but it should not be expected that he will try to dictate ‘the platform to his party, though a ‘strong endorsement. of the proposi- ‘tion would naturally be pleasing to ‘the county option forces—Glenwood Gopher-Press. (EOE PE ae sveterrng to “ov. Spermart’s deciar- ation before the convention, the Mar- shall News-Messenger says:' “He met the question courageously in the face of two thousand opponents, and did so in a frank and dignified manner. He emphasized his neutrality by pledg- ing himself to not only sign a county option act, if passed, but that he would enforce the measure. And this was all that was expected of him. To nag and abuse the governor because he did not throw up his hands and submit to the implied demand of the convention is neither fair nor is it good politics.” Eterhart Not a Dictator. The methods employed by county optionists has caused quite a smell in Minnesota newspaperdom and the rank option papers have now flopped | over just because the head of their bunch tried to hold the club to make Governor Eberhart put the county op- tion plank in the Republican platform which, as any sane man knows, would be an’ utter impossibility. unless Gov-| ernor Eberhart, who is conceded the nomination, would jeopardize his sue- cess for the sake of being dictator — Bast Grand Forks Valley View. Governor's Pledge Enough, If the Anti-Saloon league is a non- partisan organization, the only ques- tion of organization ought to have pre- sented to Governor Eberhart is wheth- er or not he as governor would sign @ county option bill if passed by the, legislature. ‘This he has pledged him: self to do, and having secured this| promise the energies of the league Bight tb be dated ty Seat et bers of the legislature favorable to such a law. If the league goes farther than this it ceases to be non-partisan and will lose much of its power and influence for good.—Warren Sheaf. ‘Ghtiek Goad dnlomark. Governor Eberhart delivered a man- ly, straightforward speech at tho county option convention. The gov- ernor was right in regarding the ques- tion as a legislative and not a guber- natorial one, and in advance of the adoption of any such reform measure by the republican party the governor showed his good judgment in not us- ing the influence of his office for the Purpose of dictating to that party what stand it should take on county option —Little Falls Transcript. Governor Is Strong. Governor Hberhart has demonstrat- ed that he has ability to know what the people of the state really want, Without placing himself in the thick of the fight on behalf of county op- tion, or in the camp of the enemy, he has given the friends of the prop: aganda, as well as its opponents, to understand that he is ready to sign @ county option measure when the legislature passes it. The governor has adroitly passed the matter up to the legislature and placed the respon- sibility where it belongs. In so doing he has placed himself upon record as a sane statesman rather than a radical theorist—Duluth Record. Independence Recoanized. Our opinion of the efficiency of Governor Eberhart as chief executive was strongly fortified by his action in disposing of the demands of the late county option convention at St. Paul, It was rank presumption to place the executive in a position where he must favor any of the schemes of citizens. His friends all over the state will recognize his strength and independ- ence.—Cass Lake Times. Gédeties ta wien We believe that Governor Eberhart is sincere in his statement that he considers county option a legislative measure in which the executive should take no hand previous to action on the part of the legislature. That he will sign the bill there is not the slight- est doubt—Minneota Mascot, Easy Problem to Solve. ‘The voters of Minnesota are being treated this year to the spectacle of & candidate, running for governor on the ticket of a party which rejected county option as one of the planks of its platform, stumping the state as @ county option man and making that his main issue. We have no objec: tions to county option if the majority of the people wish it, but we hope that they will not be fooled into vot- ing for a man for governor thinking that thereby they will secure county. option. ‘The men who are sent to the legislature are the ones who will made the county option law if it is made. Gov. Eberhart has promised to sign any such bill passed and we do not know what more could be fsked of a man. This is all the gov. ernor could do anyway and the coun- ty option people could ask for no. more. Frank Day and the rest of, that crowd are trying to work the greatest hoax of the day on the Min. nesota voters but we doubt very much it it will go down.—Motley Mercury. ST iesalociiaesa | Mamemmeniass:: ] How could the friends of county op- tiom expect James Gray to do any more for the passage of a county op- tion law than Governor Eberhart? If the law passes the legislature, which it must to become a law, Governor Eberhart would sign the bill, and Mr. Gray could do no more. The state senate consists of sixty-three mem- bers, and every one of them is fairly well qualified to be governor of the state of Minnesota, ane a big majority of them republicans. Now is it rea- sonable to suppose that a democratic governor could dictate to that body of ‘men what laws they should or should not pass? It. is ridicul ous to suppose any such thing, and a republican should not be led to vote for a democratic governor by such talk, because he believes in county option—Sunbeam Sunbeam. Square Deal for Optionists. The county option republicans should remember that Governor Eber- hart is pledged to sign a county op- tion bill it presented to him for sig- nature as governor. What more could any governor do? Gray’s play for the county option vote will not go with the people when they know he was placed ‘on the Democratic ticket by the very men who would not even allow a county option resolution to be read in the convention. There is not one county option delegate to the Republi- can State convention who will not ad- mit that the county optionists secured square deal and that the convention Ustened respectfully to the address of Supt. Youngdahl of the anti-saloon league. Gray's: position is a farce— Akeley Herald-Tribune. Straightforward and Strong. Governor Eberhart in his keynote speech stood squarely on the Republi- can state platform. He showed up the bunco game of the Democratic commit: tee nominee for governor on the coun- ty option issue. Mr. Eberhart’s address was a strong and straightforward one, one that appeals to common sense, not Prejudice and it will land him in the governor's chair by 75,000 majority.— Eden Valley Journal, Position Indorsed. Geo. Eberhart stands squarely upon platform adopted by the last republi- can state convention, which he asserts is “clear, definite, comprehensive and distinctly progressive.” He takes a shot at the unholy alliance between county option and some of the demo- cratic leaders and reiterates his for- mer position by saying that if a coun- ty option Dill is passed during his term of office he will approve and en- force it, and then naively adds, “My opponent can do no more, although he may promise more.” The speech is dignified and conservative, fair and convincing.—Ortonville Herald-Star. County Option a Legislative lecue. Once more Senator Nelson has a wise old head, and it will take cleverer politics even'than was shown at Al bert Lea to strip it of senatorial hon- ors in two years.

No stream of politics can rise above the source, even with the aid of a wind mill on the stump. —Minneapolis ‘Tribune. Not Catching Any Geshara: ~b to date, just one Democratic candidate to the legislature has de- clared in favor of Senator Clapp’s re- election, following Mr. Lind’s trail. That one is Cashman of Owatonna, who, doubtless, would forget it, if elect: ed, and there was any chance for a Democrat. Mr. Lind’s bait has not stampeded any Republicans to the support of the Democrats. ‘The St. Cloud Journal- Press gives a short and clear exposi- tion of his want of logic and the plain. ness of the steel trap which surrounds the bait. It says: “To show just how ilogi- cal Mr. Lind is, it can be truthfully stated that if the next legislature should have a majority of Democratic senators and representatives, neither Moses E. Clapp would be elected to the United States senate, nor would a county option law be passed. “It Mr. Lind is sincere, he would urge the election of Republican sen- ators and members of the legislature —and Governor Eberhart has promised to sign a county option bill if one is passed. But the Democratic leaders are looking for Republican votes, and they are willing to use any kind of bait, if it brings the Republicans into the Democratic trap. “On the theory that the Republicans have not lost their sense of reason and good judgment, we predict that even so cunning a trapper as John Lind will have few pelts to exhibit on Nov. 8."—Duluth News Tribune. masta 4a maaan Term: Gov.

Eberhart has reason to feel more than pleased and gratified at the magnificent reception that was accorded hin in his home city last evening. The function, al- though political in its character, ‘cer- tainly was a strong testimonial ‘from his fellow citizens as to his standing and worth in this community, and it is the best evidence that he will be given’ the hearty endorsement that he deserves by the people hereabouts on election day. It was but meet and proper that Governor Eberhart should have been tendered the cordial and heartfelt plaudits of those who have been his neighbors for years. Most of those who participated in the welcoming event have witnessed the development of Governor Eberhart from his boy- hood days, his struggles to gain an education, his coming from college and entering the sterner activities of life, his call to the state senatorship, thence to the second highest position in the state government, and finally to the executive chair. In alll these positions of public trust he has “made good.” He has met up with the expectations of those who have stood firmly by him and has never betrayed their confidence, has never committed an act that has called forth an explanation or an apology.
