Simpson ASSOCIATE JUDGE EBERHART ON THE ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN Keynote Speech of the Republican Candidate for Governor 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. O. Eberhart, Republican candidate for governor, delivered his keynote speech at Mankato before an audience including many prominent members of the party. He said: On the 21st day of last June there assembled at St. Paul one of the most important and memorable conventions 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 representative, fair and deliberative than any convention in recent years, and chiefly because, as is universally admitted, it was absolutely free from domination by any clique, faction, interest or corporation, free to express the will of the people in the selection of candidates and the adoption of a platform. I received the unanimous nomination of the convention for the office of governor, and I accepted the same realizing fully the duties and responsibilities involved, and pledged myself to the faithful discharge thereof, 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. Johnson, and while my position has not always 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 I am sincerely grateful. But no 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 confer greater honor upon a son than Mankato has done on this occasion. In accepting the nomination I stated that at the proper time I would discuss the questions pending in this state, and make clear my position with reference thereto. That promise I am here to fulfill tonight. In making such statement I shall speak frankly and without evasion, believing 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 either for its contents or for the manner 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 convention 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 denunciation, 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 disinterested revision of tariff schedules through a high class commission of experts which will treat each schedule purely on its own merits, with a view both to protecting the consumer from excessive prices and to securing the American, producer, and especially the American wage-earner, what will represent the difference of cost of production here as compared with the cost of production in countries where labor is less liberally rewarded." The foregoing quotation from his speech delivered at the Republican state convention in New York, Sept. 27, is almost identical with the language 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 before some of our critics had come to appreciate the significance of the word. The declaration of the Minnesota Republicans in favor of a tariff commis- sion is characterized by my opponent as pure "Bunco," but he probably wrote his speech before he read Roosevelt'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. Public conscience has been quickened and boss rule, in the Republican party at least, is a thing of the past. Exceptional means of education and intercommunication have raised the average standard of intelligence and 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 recent action of the New York Republican 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 extinct in Minnesota. When the Democratic party assembled in Minneapolis on July 28 last it nominated John Lind for governor, after adopting a platform 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 criticism: n, has no other aim than but negative, 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 central committee carried his letter of declination in his inside pocket for six weeks, meanwhile regaling the public with various stories and promises. During this period the Democratic boss evolved the "Kitchen Cabinet" 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 this instance. County Option. The nominee of the Democratic state central committee says that he will do more than sign a county option bill if passed by the legislature. He will, if elected governor, recommend it to the legislature. Without attempting to minimize the force and effect of executive recommendations, I 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 exercised by their chosen representatives. The Republican declaration is as follows: "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 enforcement 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 consideration of all legislation pertaining to the liquor traffic and its regulations." This is a straightforward statement and may be understood by all. Compare this statement with the language of the Democratic platform, which my opponent says justifies him in declaring for county option. "We hold that all questions affecting the moral, political and economic welfare of the people should be directly subject to the conscience and will of the people." Could the audacity of ignorance go farther than to state that the language 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 sudden 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 be." Several months ago I met the friends of county option in their state convention and defined my position. 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 more. The Policy of Conservation That the Republican party in Minnesota is progressive is again indicated by its position and achievements on the vital question of conservation. Our platform specifically commits the party to the conservation of resources "along the lines suggested by Theodore Roosevelt and begun by him during his administration." Minnesota is recognized by all the states in the Union as first and most progressive as well as most practical in the line of achievements. The continuation of this conservation work is the most important problem now confronting the people of the state, for it includes not only the conservation of natural but also of human resources. It includes such preservation of our resources for the future as will not interfere 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 cannot possibly bring the best results. From every economic standpoint it is desirable that the present generation should be preferred, since future discoveries and inventions 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 development 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 increased 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 congress, which marked an epoch in the progress of this nation-wide movement. Reapportionment. The Republican party is pledged to a new apportionment of the legislative districts in accordance with the constitution. The plank is as follows: "Believing that each and every section of the state should be fairly represented in the law-making bodies, as is provided in Section 2, Article 4, the constitution, we pledge the Republican party to the passage of an apportionment law by the next legislature 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 PETER H. BURKE GOVERNOR EBERHART. representation it is justly entitled to in both branches of the state legislature." A clean, unambiguous statement and pledge. Listen to the Democratic plank: "We are unequivocally in favor of a reapportionment of representation 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 is unequivocally in favor of a very equivocal declaration touching reapportionment. Its meaning, whatever it may be, is lost in the phraseology of studied concealment. The ambiguity in the Democratic platform is explained by the attitude of the Democratic members of the state senate. At the last session, Senator Clague, as chairman of the committee on reapportionment, on March 26, 1909, introduced S. F. 714, for a new apportionment. 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 bill, but the fact is that they were opposed to the bill and presumably had something to do with the framing of the Democratic platform. My opponent intimates that the failure of reapportionment at the last session is chargeable to the Republicans. The record shows the contrary to be true Primary Law. Under the present primary law many abuses are permitted. I quote from the Republican state platform: "It has become notorious that the great expense attendant upon primary election practically precludes men of moderate means from becoming candidates for important offices, and it has become a common thing for voters to vote for and help to secure the nomination of men of opposite political faith, for whom they do not intend to vote at the election, and we declare that legislation is imperatively needed that will reduce the expense of conducting a primary campaign and to prevent voters from aliding in the nomination of candidates that they are seeking to defeat." I am strongly in favor of amending the primary system of nomination in accordance with the platform, and also heartily favor the election of United States senators by popular vote. The Problem of Transportation. One of the most important problems before the people of the state is that of transportation. The Democratic platform is absolutely silent on that vital question. On the other hand the Republican party has placed itse... on record with reference to the regulation and control of railway, telegraph 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 employees, 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 practiced between individuals and localities." Upon that plank of the platform I stand without reservation and through the legal department of the state I shall exert every effort to guard the interests of the people in all the so called Minnesota rate cases now pending before the courts. Legislative Record. Referring to the recent legislatures the Democratic platform accuses them of being: "Debaued by aggressions of monopolistic and lawless wealth." Concerning those same legislatures Governor Johnson made this significant statement in his keynote speech at Montevideo two years ago; and I 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 statesmanship as the legislatures of 1905 and 1907." Knowing the work of the last legislature it is safe to conclude that had Governor Johnson spoken today he would have included the legislature of 1909. Good Roads. One of the most important problems to which it has been my privilege to devote considerable time and attention is that of good roads. After securing the passage of the "Highway Commission Act" in 1905, I immediately set out to interest the people of the state in the appropriation of necessary funds. Through the efforts of the press generally, good roads associations, 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 that I will recommend, in accordance with the Republican platform, that the next legislature authorize the submission to the people of a 1-mill state road tax. It should also raise the present levy to the authorized limit of one-fourth mill and amply increase the authority of the commission so that road construction throughout the state could be properly supervised and improved. 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. Consequently the protection and advancement of labor should receive the most careful consideration. No state can be prosperous unless its laboring classes are prosperous and amply protected by the strong arm of the state. There is no question where the Republican 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 protection of health and life of all wage earners and the enactment of a workmen's compensation act in accordance with the recommendations of the commission provided for by an act of the last legislature. Education. No state in the Union can boast of a better educational system than Minnesota. Yet I think we are ready to admit that our state has paid too little attention to the teaching of agriculture, industrial training and home economies in all our schools. This should be remedied immediately. The two 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 public schools, thus teaching the people of the state how we can conserve our wealth and increase our prosperity. The time has also come when our schools should be taken out of politics and when all our educational officers should be selected strictly upon their merits and without reference to party affiliations. Immigration Immigration is another important phase of state development. The immigration commission should be given more funds and authority so that it may be able to render more assistance in securing settlers and in overcoming obstacles necessarily incident to the development of new territory. All state land should bear its fair share of the expense in making local improvements, for it is altogether unjust to ask a settler to endure all the privations of pioneer life and in addition thereto pay the expenses of improving adjacent public property. Administrative Record. The state administrative officers constitute one great business institution. In coming before the people as a candidate for governor it is proper that an account should be rendered covering my stewardship already rendered. Charges have been made by my opponents and the "Kitchen Cabinet" to the effect that so called business interests have been permitted to "flich the heritage from the people, to threaten the integrity of our own courts and debauch our legislatures." That this wholesale accusation is intended for purely political effect no one can seriously doubt, but in order to show conclusively that the interests of the state have been carefully and efficiently guarded, I shall give a brief summary of the most important state transactions. In doing so I desire to give all due credit to the respective 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 welfare 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 railroad company for taxes, former Attorney General Young and Senator E. S. Durment have been employed 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 sustaining 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 incumbent, Julius A. Schmahl. In the payment of filing fees, the laws have been strictly enforced, and the record of the two years ending July 31, 1910, shows that the state has received nearly $25,000 more in filing fees (in during the two years preceding). Another enactment for which this department should be given credit is that permitting proposed amendments to the constitution 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 amendments. Another measure enacted by the legislature is the one directing the secretary of state to secure an annual license 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 enforcement 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, constitute the state printing commission, in charge of state printing. The average yearly expenditure for such work during the last eighteen years has been $57,924.61, but the average expenditure for the four years ending Aug. 1, 1910, was only $55,272.12 whereas the average expenditure for the four years just preceding was $55,089.58. 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 important offices in the state is that of auditor, and the record of that office during the past few years is not surpassed in the history of the state. Through the persistent efforts of Auditor 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 valuable amount of iron ore. In securing these swamp land grants the state has conducted one of the most important contests before the interior department. Minnesota was the pioneer state in conserving her natural resources, and is now reaping its reward. The auditor is the custodian of the permanent school fund, which now aggregates $28,977,225.14, and it is estimated that this fund will be increased from the royalties on iron ore to the extent of $200,000,000 more. The state school fund is invested in securities bearing from 3 to 4 per cent interest, and only about $100,000 is in the state treasury at this time. It is invested as a permanent trust fund, and only the interest thereon can be used for the purposes of education. While Minnesota has a permanent school fund of over $21,000,000, the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa have each less than $5,000,000. The policy of the state has been practical conservation, and all future generations will enjoy the prudence and administrative ability of the guardians of our school fund. The state auditor is the custodian of this fund, and the present incumbent of the office, Hon. B. G. Iverson, has made an enviable record in the protection of the interests of the state and in the enforcement of all laws pertaining to his office. Railroad and Warehouse Commission. The work of the railroad and warehouse commission and its important bearing on the interests and welfare of the people clearly illustrate the increased importance of this department. Minnesota has now obtained recognition as one of the most advanced states in the Union in relation to its railroad legislation, and the successful administration of these laws. Its duties are varied and each year increase in scope and importance, embracing generally all questions or grievances that may arise between the public and the railroad companies. The railroad and warehouse commission 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 people 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 believed and hoped by both sides in this case, will finally be determined. With reference to express rates, the commission has also rendered the state valuable services. After a thorough inquiry and investigation, an order was made reducing express rates 20 per cent on merchandise and produce and correcting a number of inequalities 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 art: services rendered with any like body in the entire country. State Highway Commission. The state highway commission was organized in January, 1906, in order to meet a great demand for improvement of the public highways. The theory of road betterment, as at first outlined, contemplated the construction of expensive and permanent roads of stone and gravel, but a careful investigation of road conditions convinced the commission that the interests of the people could be better served by applying state aid to the general improvement of the common earth roads. This plan has been consistently carried out, and so far has met the general approval of the people. A marked improvement has been noted in the method of construction by town and county authorities, who have been informed, advised and instructed by the commission, through the medium of correspondence, printed 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 accounting of my short stewardship. As the executive of a great business institution 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 I may be deserving of their renewed 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 consolled 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 administration, I can go before the people 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 state of the state and its great opportunities for development, and that by reason of such experience I 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 cannot 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 sanctity of the churches, the enforcement of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and the 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 cannot expect to eradicate selfishness and approach perfection, but we have a right to expect that the public conscience shall continue to quicken and civic virtue continue to spread, and that character, honesty, integrity and ability shall be the standard by which personal worth is determined; that the record of every public official shall resemble a torch, that is, the more it is shaken the more it will burn. We have a right to expect that justice shall be meted out to all alike, and that every law of the land shall be enforced against the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor equally and without fear or favor, and to that end I pledge my earnest and hearty co-operation. Proposed Amendmeuts —TO THE— Constitution —OF— Minnesota —BY— The Legislature General Session 1909. St. Paul, Minn., May 1, 1910. Hon. Julius A. Schmuller, Secretary of State: Sir: As required by Section 25 of the Laws of Lausan we haveith you herewith the honor to furnish you herewith a statement of the purposes and effects of the respective amendments requested to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota by the Legislature of 1800 and which are to be submitted to the electors in state at the general election in 1910. FIRST PROPOSED AMEND MENT The first proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 506 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1909. PURPOSE. By this amendment it is sought to authorize the payment by the State Bridge Fund of one-half of the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge therein, and is an amendment of Section 10 of Article 9 of the Constitution, which now renders as follows the requirement to aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, there is hereby created a fund to be known as the 'state road and bridge fund', said fund shall include all money accruing from the income of the State Bridge Fund, and internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided. The legislature is authorized to add to such fund for the purpose of constructing or improving roads and bridges of this state, by providing in its discretion, for an annual tax levy upon the property of this state of not to exceed in any year one-fourth (4%) of the taxable property within the state. PROVIDED, that no county shall receive in any year more than three (3) per cent or less than one-half (½) of one (1) per cent of the total fund thus provided and expended during such improvement and the case shall more than one-third (½) of the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge be paid by the state from such fund," and to substitute therefor the following: "Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of highways and bridges, there is hereby created a fund, to be known as the 'state road and bridge fund', said fund shall include all loans accruing from the income derived from investments in the internal improvement land fund, or that may herafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided. "The legislature is authorized to add to such fund, for the purpose of constructing or improving roads and bridges of this state, by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy upon the property of this state of not to exceed in any year one-fourth (%) of one mill on all the taxable property within the state. PROVIDED, that no county shall receive in any year more than three (%) per cent or less than one-half (%) of one (1) per cent of the total fund thus provided, and that such amount shall be provided, further, that no case shall more than one-half (%) of the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge be paid by the state from such fund." EFFECT. The present Constitution authorizes the payment by the State, out of such fund so created of ONE-half of the cost of constructing any road or improving any road or bridge thereon. If this amendment is adopted the State could then pay ONE-HALF (%) of the cost of constructing any such road or bridge, and the effect of the amendment would be the amount which the State may indefinitely pay toward such purpose. AMENDMENT The second proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 597 of the Law of Minnesota for the year 1900. PURPOSE. By this amendment it is proposed to repeal the provisions of section 11 of Article IX of the Constitution, which section now reads as follows: "Sección 11. There shall be published by the treasurer, in at least one newspaper printed at the seat of government, during the first week in January, of the treasury during the preceding month, of the volume of the acts of the legislature, detailed statements of all money from the treasury during the preceding month, of the whom paid, and by what law authorized; and also of all money received by what authority and from whom." EFFECT. The Constitution requires the treasurer to publish yearly a detailed statement of the treasury during the preceding year, giving the names of the per- quires a like statement of the names of the persons, and the sources, as to money received, and in both cases a like statement of the names of the materials were made, or money paid into the treasury. The effect of this Amendment, if the same be adopted, would not prevent the action of Constitution against the manner relieve the treasurer from such publication. This change in the Constitution, would not prevent the legislature from making such a statement of that such, or a different publication, of the same or other information should be made by the Treasurer. THIRD PROPOSED AMEND- MENT The third proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 568 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1990. PURPOSE. By this amendment it is proposed to act entirely against the institution to be known as Section 17, and which shall be as follows: "Section 17 requires the legislature may provide for the payment, by the State of Minnesota, of damages to growers to pay, hire and, wind, or either, and to pay the necessary expenses of giving effect to this act, may impose a penalty, which, at their option, have listed the same with county auditors for that purpose, and no payment shall be made in damages except from the fund so provided. EFFECT. The effect of this Amendment II. adopted, will be to authorize the State to crop by hull or wind, or either, the collection and disbursement of a fund for the payment of damages to growers crops by hull or wind, or either, to be taxed by a specific tax imposed by the legislature upon the lands of such permanent crops, which shall voluntarily list the same wills for the purpose. Under it there does not consent thereto. The legislature is also authorized to include in the amendment the tax imposed on administration of the law. The adoption of the amendment will authorize the legislature to direct that the tax levies and collect the tax necessary to raise such fund and to provide for the levy and collect the tax necessary to make the State, by reason of damage by hull or wind will have to be paid by the State. In other, in the settlement of any such damages the State would assume no liability beyond the amount of such damage by hull or wind. A similar amendment offered at the general election of 1908, the amendment then offered read as follows: "Section 17. The legislature may provide for the payment by the State of Minnesota of damages to growing trees and to provide a fund for that purpose, may impose a specific tax upon lands, the owners of which, at their option, have the right to impose a specific tax for that purpose, and no payment shall be made of any such damages except from the fund so provided." The main difference between the amendments to the last quoted, by the legislature now to be authorized, in addition to providing a fund for the purpose of lands, and in addition to hall and wind, or either, to further provide an additional tax upon the lands of the persons so listing the damages incurred in the administration of the law and thus relieve the State therefrom. This last provision was not included in the amendment offered in 1908. FOURTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT The fourth proposed Amendment is contained in Chapter 509, General Law of Minnesota for the year 1909. PURPOSE. By this amendment it is assumed that in Section 23 of Article IV of the Constitution which section now reads as follows: "Section 23. The legislature shall provide by law for an enumeration of the number of seats in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and every tenth year thereafter. At their first session after each year, they prescribe by law at their first session after each tenth year made by the authority of the United States, the legislature shall have the power to prescribe by law the general senatorial and representative districts, and to apportion anew the several districts according among the several districts according to provisions of section second of this article." to substitute therefor the following: FIFTH PROPOSED AMEND MENT The fifth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 510, Laws of Minnesota for the year 1900. PURPOSE. By this amendment it is sought to add an entirely new section to Article IX of the Constitution, to be known as Section 18, and which shall read as follows: "Section 18.

PURPOSE. By this amendment it is proposed to add an entirely new section to Article IX of the Constitution to be known as Section 17a, and which shall read as follows: "Section 17a. Laws may be enacted exempting lands from taxation for the purpose of encouraging and promoting the planting of useful forest trees thereon." EFFECT. The effect of this amendment is to authorize the legislature to enact laws exempting from taxation lands of private persons to be used in the planting, cultivation and protection of useful forest trees thereon, and thus supplement where the lands of such private persons are devoted to reforcation, the purposes contemplated in an amendment, by the fifth proposed amendment, to the nature of part of a general plan for the reforcation of land within the state. If the legislature does not pass such laws, such lands will not be exempt and the land will be subject to the enacted, remains with the legislature. Power to pass a law to exempt such lands from taxation the legislature from taxation it it is exempt, an additional grant of power. St. Paul, May 1, 1910. Mr. Julius A. Maahl, Secretary of State Dear Sir:—Referring to proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 2 would say: "The publications involved in this amendment given the amendment special thought, and am of opinion both these publications are entirely likely to be extensive newspaper publication in a daily newspaper or a broadly noteworthy no attention." The annual report of the state treasurer is published in the newspaper, and makes it easy for every person special to present with the copy.

PICCOLIN "BARRIERS BURNED AWAY" The Attraction at the Grand Theater Next Week. Twenty years ago the reading of novels in the omniverable manner of today did not change. The reader read had to pass the censor, most critical public, and to no writer was the "entre" extended to such an extent as to E. P. Roe, the Presbyterian minister-novelist. His stories, whose possessing unusual merit, were clean and wholesome and possessed the readers' minds, leaving one a better man or woman for having read the book; for this reason his writings were read and are still read by all. "Barriers Burned Away," dealing with the great Chicago fire, has been read one-quarter of a century by over 3,000,000 people, and it is safe to say that over 1,500,000 copies of the book have been sold. George Middleton, who dramatized "The House of a Thousand Candles" and "Rosalind at Red Gate," has made an excellent dramatization of this story and it is easily proving the success of the present season. This attraction comes to the Grand Sunday morning, Nov. 6. The performances will be given on election night. The regulars will at 8:15 and a midnight show at 11:15 Election returns will be read at both performances.

DRAWN UP INTO THE SKY The Only Explanation for the Disap pearance of Water from the Dead There can be only two modes by which the waters flowing into the Dead sea can escape from it—ither by underground percolation or by evaporation. It is extremely improbable that any considerable quantity escapes by the former mode, and we are further led to suppose, for two good reasons, that evaporation accounts for maintaining the steady level of that sea. First, the sea remains intensely salt. The Dead sea contains about five times as much solids in solution as does the ocean. This intention may be maintained with comparatively little water pouring into it for thousands of years unless the water in escaping, left behind the saline substances. Evaporation is the only process that would account 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. George Adams Smith, in his Historical Geography of the Holy Land (p.500), says: "The exacted moisture usually forms a cloudy remittable to the eye for more than a few miles, but sometimes vast clouds of mist rear themselves from the sea." --- in violation of the auditor's official oath to honestly and faithfully perform the duties of his office. What is deferring to a threat but accepting a bribe, and betraying the people? Gifford Pinchot, in a Speech in Detroit on October 28th, 1910, said: "If we could hear the voice of all the people upon some cur- rent issues, it would, I think, declare itself in substance as follows: "I believe that the most pressing patriotic duty of today is to revive popular government by driving the special interests out of politics. "I believe that corporations have certain rights that should be respected, but they have no political rights, powers, or duties. "I believe that the special interests through their control of politics and business, and principally by means of the tariff, are mainly responsible for the exorbitant cost of living." AUDITOR KRAHMER Replies to Statements Made in the Dispatch. St. Paul, Minn., November 2, 1910. Mr. George Thompson Sir:—Your tardy statement in the Dispatch of today (Wednesday) that your interference with and dictation to the County Auditor was merely by the editorial in one of your newspaper, the Auditor to act in the assessorship matter is, I claim, manifestly false. I charge that you sent several emissaries, including Mr. Bennett, your reporter, many men to cajole, and you demanded that I agree at once to the appointment of Mr. Lagerman. The last of these emissaries was a high officer in your employ, who styled himself "un ambassador" from you. Your ambassador, Your reporter, Mr. Bennett, is in the Auditor's office on Saturday, Oct. 22nd, that "Thompson is boiling;" that "the fireworks are all ready to go off," and that he had "just stopped in to see if Krahmer had knocked in that the explosion may be stopped." Moreover, you have not hitherto answered my letters to you of Oct. 22nd and 24th or in any other way, heretofore denied the correctness of my letters, though they were published in the ber of weekly papers on last Friday and Saturday. The other statement of importance, that regarding the $100.00 exemption, in your edict or proclamation referred to, equally with your present denial of buildupizing misrepresents me. I answered that my attack in my interview, published in the News of Oct. 19th, which was in the following words: "Edward G. Krahmer, county auditor, objects to the remarks made by R. D. B. Orien, county attorney, in Federation hall speech Monday night, the Rahmer said to the Daily News today: "Mr. O仁rien's attack is lawyer's rant and rot. Skim off the froth and all you have is the fact that this county and other counties obeyed the order of the Minnesota Tax Commission attorney general's ruling until he saw it." "The sophistry of twisting that situation into a wrong committed by me is really to pass a counterfeit upon the people, and is a bad example for the county attorney to set for the criminal classes. He should follow his superior's example and reverse himself. His brass armor needs repairs. "It it has not been so long since he with full knowledge of the facts, passed contractor's bills against the county for work yet to be done, lending them in effect the public money, and which proceeding the auditor blocked, and refused to pay until the work was duly completed. It will be remembered how the "county commissioners bank," so loaning the public money, was ridiculed at the time, was the board of three years ago." Further explanation on Assessorship by, Auditor, Krahm Further explaining the situation regarding the assessorship and the attacks upon me by the Dispatch Pioneer Press newspaper trust in that connection, I have this to say: It was my plain duty to vote for the best man available as assessor, and I regard to my personal interest, knowledge, intelligence. Considering Charles E. Keller to be that man, I accordingly voted for him. I believe that the mayor's vote was likewise determined by a pure sense of official duty. I differed from him in my opinion that I must in the distribution of the human race Charles E. Keller had a brother Herbert made no difference. When I could not get Charles E. Keller, my second choice was Freed W. Goosewish. I believe that soon after the general election Keller and my man will succeed in agreeing on Mr. Goosewish or some other candidate for assessor of whom the people will approve. I think that in the few days before the general election it would not be proper for me, under existing circumstances, to vote in the choice of an assessor. Unless the people rally to the cause, the rule of the attacks of the Dispatch-Pioneer newspaper trust may make my election less certain than it was, generally considered previously to have been. Personally I am confident, that the people will rally in defense of their rights and that my majority will be larger than I have ever received. The defense of the people's rights turns upon my election, but the result is vastly more important to them than to me personally. It is their flight, rather than mine, an officer who has tried to be their faithful servant, who had fought their life and been wounded in their cause. EDW. G. KRAHMER. VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. REASON FOR CHURCH EXODUS When Pastor Hears Why Men Are Leaving, He Stops Sermon and Goes Also. More than a hundred years ago when the stone steps of the old house were in front of the meeting house in the village—and worshipful feet went up them and along the uncarpeted aisles to the straightbacked pews, each with a wooden door held shu with a wooden button—one Sunday morning after the "long prayer," while the clergyman was in the midst of his discourse, one of the members of the congregation was seen to rise from his chair and to pee quietly out of the church. Soon a neighbor followed and then another, slowly and with reverent regard for the sanctity of the place they were so soon leaving during the sermon. The minister, noticing this, says Richard Wightman in the Metropolitan, stopped in the midst of his discourse and said: "May I be permitted to inquire the reason for exodus?" At this one of the few remaining men stood up in his pew and answered thus: "Since the service began word has been sent us that a large school of shad has been pocketed in the Oyster river. The tide has gone out and the meadows are covered with live fish. The amounts of them are flopping in the water, so that they have thought best, to improve the opportunity and go down there and secure winter food for our families." Then he sat down and after a moment's pause the clergyman gathered up his manuscript and said: "I think that is a very good idea. I will dismiss the congregation and go and get some myself." Charity Covers, Etc. Mrs. George McFadden, the beautiful Philadelphian who made the Spanish dance of "The Roses" the feature of the Newport season, said at a dinner, in answer to a compliment on her success with this waltz: "Yes, I had better luck than a friend of mine in Philadelphia. My friend gave a charity concert in the ballroom of her country house, and the piece de resistance of the concert was the Spanish dance, performed by six young bachelors and debutantes. "At the entertainment's end my friend hands with a group of little old men from one of the homes to be benefited. "And how did you like our Spanish dance?" she asked. "The old women looked at one another in some embarrassment, and finally in a soothing voice one replied: "Well, ma'am, least said soonest mended, and besides, the object was so deservir." The Waimangu Geyser The famous extinct geyser of Walmanu, New Zealand, near which a volcanic eruption was reported recently as having commenced, was for a few years the most powerful geyser on record. The activity of this geyser in 1903 and 1904 created such anxiety in the north island of New Zealand that an Auckland paper, attributing its activity to the great increase in the size of the adjacent Lake Rotomahana, proposed that the lake should be drained in order to allow the freer outlet from the hot springs of the locality. No action was taken and the lake was removed by the bursting of the lake at the bottom of Lake Rotomahana was discharged at Lake Rotomau, and Walmanu ceased its eruptions. It will be interesting to learn from the New Zealand geologists whether the renewal of the volcanic activity along the Tarawera rift is connected with the Cessation of Walmanu—Nature.

PAUL OFFICE No. 236 UNION BLOCK, 4TH & CEDAR J. Q. ADAMS, Manager. MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE GUARANTY LOAN BLDG., Room 1020 JASPER GIBBS, Manager. CHICAGO OFFICE C. F. ADAMS, Manager. 323-5 DEARBORN ST., SUITE 660 TERMS, STRICTLY IN ADVANCE: TAFT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN The appointment of William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, marks a new era in race progress. It is a positive advance over anything in the line of political appointments ever made by a Republican President. It is said that this is but the first of a number of new appointments of high grade which are to be given to the Afro-American people, in pursuance of a policy that is being worked out for a broad recognition of the race in Federal appointments. In his inaugural address President Taft said: "The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag." "Any recognition of distinguished Negroes, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued." President Taft has appointed other Afro-Americans to good places in the Government service, but the importance of the Lewis appointment lies in the fact that it is a higher place than has ever before been given to one of the race. As Assistant Attorney General it will be necessary to assign Mr. Lewis to some of the most important legal work of the Government and it is certain that he is well qualified for the place. An Assistant Attorney General outranks many high officials and the Afro-American people are pleased to know that they have a representative of the race so near in rank to a. Cabinet officer. THE REAL QUESTION The real question to be decided in the pending congressional election is whether or not the South, through the instrumentality of a Democratic congress shall make the first move in seizing the reins of government and dictating the future policy. The Democratic party has always been dominated by the South and under its domination it has perpetuated such outrages as the Fugitive Slave law, the Judge Taney opinion, the Jim Crow Car laws, the grandfather clauses and the race riots of the South and North. We include those of the North, because any sensible man can M. HON.

Each of the Southern States, as ex-Senator McLauren admits, is governed by an oligarchy which retains its power by a cunningly devised code of election machinery of the state under the control of a few reckless partisans, who do not fail to use their advantage to the full extent. Now, if a Democratic house is elected, it would be an important step in aiding the election of a Democratic president. The amendments to the constitution would be nullified and all appointive offices would be filled by stalwart Democrats. It is claimed by some that the Afro-American voters will give their aid to carry out this program; but we have no idea that such will be the case. We believe that the Afro-Americans will remain true to the Republican party—the party of freedom and progress. VOTE YOUR TICKET STRAIGHT. 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 cer- HON. W. T. VERNON. Register of the United States Treasury. HON. RALPH W. TYLER.

VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET STRAIGHT. "TO ARMS, THEY COME, THE GREES, THE GREES." 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 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 Hesutontimorumenos. And the latter respectable gentlemen are controlling the sponge trade of Tarpon Springs, much to the disguest of the aborigines, whose ac- quaintance 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. 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. Freedom, manhood, educatoin, suffrage, opportunity were given by the Republican party." 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. CONDITIONS IN AMERICA AND RUSSIA SIMILAR. In 1887 the Russian Minister of the 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 HON. WILLIAM D. CRUM. Minister Resident and Consul General At Monrovia, Liberia. M. H. H. HON. N. W. ALEXANDER. Register of the Land Office, Montgomery, Ala. and be thereby led to become discontented with their lot, and irritable against the inevitable inequalities of the existing social pisitions. We think that our readers will admit that the foregoing is as tense 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. A DEMOCRATIC TENDENCY Should anyone accuse the Democratic party of anarchistic tendencies, the accusation would be resented with much indignation, and the counter argument would be the easily made reference to the many eminent Democratic addresses which show no trace of such tendency. But that does not completely refute the accusation. It does not prove the non-existence of the virus; but simply shows that it has not yet permeated the whole body. The party must be held responsible for the utterances of Heffin, Davis, et al. The fact that some efforts have been made to muzzle these imprudent marplots proves nothing; for it is easily seen that it is done simply upon grounds of policy for their standing in the party is not affected in the slightest degree. THE CABINET IN THE CAMPAIGN MACVEAGH SAYS WORK HARD FOR PARTY SUCCESS. And Keep in Power the Most Powerful Organization ful Organization of Progress. As the tiger is bent in 1910 the tree will be inclined in 1912, said Secretary of the Treasury Mac Veagh in an address at Toledo, Ohio, in which he urged Ohio Republicans to stand by their colors, to keep in power the Republican party, "the most powerful political organization of progress existing today in any nation of the world," and to endorse William H. Taft, "already laden with practical and permanent triumphs, and not in any degree near the end of his broad and wise plans and purposes of public usefulness." "The country needs it," he continued, "and every legitimate interest in the country needs it, and now that we have become a real world power, the world needs it. It is our duty to our party to minimize our differences." NAGEL GIVES TAFT CREDIT. Was Constructive Genius of Roosevelt Administration Nagel Says Hon. Charles Nagel, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, declared in a speech before Missouri Republicans that President Taft was the "constructive genius of the preceding administration." Much of the success of the Roosevelt ideas, he said, was due to the administrative ability of Mr. Taft as Secretary of War and as governor of the Philippines. "I believe," he said, "the preceding administration rendered an enormous service to the country in its policies on important questions, and Mr. Taft was in full sympathy with these policies and was the constructive genius of that time." The Southern Democrats say that they would like to get rid of the Afro-American laborers, yet nearly all of the states have statutes making it a penal offense to entice laborers from the plantations, and the white planters would make it very warm for any person who attempted to separate them from their field hands.

Declaring President Taft the real issue of the political campaign in Ohio, proclaiming the Payne-Aldrich tariff law "the broadest measure of practical reciprocity" ever enacted, and affirming that recent progressive legislation had done more to confirm the Republican party as "a party of constructive progress than anybody of substantive law since Abraham Lincoln's death." Secretary of State Philander C. Knox appealed to the Republicans of Ohio at Columbus to indorse the achievements of their native son when they go to the polls next Tuesday. WILSON TALKS OF REPUBLICAN WORK. Secretary of Agriculture Speaks on Material Development of Coun- try Under Party's Rule. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson was the chief speaker at a Republican meeting held here this evening. In part he said: "The present administration has been doing things. The Interstate Commerce Commission will do justice between the shipper and the carrier. The staff has been modified. Any country discriminating will be discriminated against. Our goods will go on equal terms to other countries or the law will be used. "The department of agriculture is in touch with all sections of the country. It has 3,000 specialists, making research into conditions which interest the farmer." Get out the votes and there'll be no doubt about the election of Republican congressmen. Afro-Americans in close Congressional districts should work hard to elect Congressmen. We cannot aford to lose a single district.

"The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the Afro-American, it gave him freedom and citizenship.

We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Afro-American, and we condemn all devices which have for their real aim his dischurishment for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land."

One of the largest as well as the most pleasant social functions the city has witnessed in a long time was the reception tendered to the members and friends of Pilgrim Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. E. H. McDonald and his estimable wife at their residence, 651 W. Central Ave. Wednesday evening. Rev. and Mrs. McDonald are comparatively recent acquisitions to the religious and social life of St. Paul and they doubtless will prove to be quite valuable along both lines. Rev. McDonald, as a minister, has a national reputation for ability, dignity and sterling worth and St. Paul is to be congratulated that he has cast his lot here. The admirable manner in which, as host and hostess, Rev. and Mrs. McDonald appeared on last Wednesday evening shows them both to be perfectly at home in social etiquette. The house was appropriately decorated and a daintily decorated table occupied the dining room from which toothsome viands were bountifully served. The reception hours were from 4 to 11 p. m., and during those hours it is safe to say upward of 250 guests responded to the generous invitation of the host and hostess. During the evening several musical guests were invited by Miss Jenneville Ford and Mrs. R. C. Minor. The ladies present were handsomely gowned and the reception was very satisfactory in every particular. The reception committee was composed of Mesdames Geo. W. James, E. DeBaptiste, Lulu Edwards, F. B. Simpson, W. T. W. Frances, R. B. Chappan, Wm. Christman, H. High, E. Hood, E. Underwood, W. V. Howard, J. H. Hickman, H. Hart, J. Q. Adams, W. L. Burton; Misses Eleanor Barksdale, Mamie Goins, Jeneive Ford; Messrs. M. A. Bolling, J. J. Billups, Earl Walker. Mr. J. A. Ford was general manager. M. W. FITZGERALD Republican Candidate for Register Ramsey County. The popularity of M. W. Fitzgerald is one of the first things a stranger hears of when he comes to St. Paul. It is founded upon that most solid of rocks, ability to do what his constituents placed him in office to do. He is very painstaking in the duties of his office and looks over all papers carefully, frequently giving advice as to proper wording. A man of this character undoubtedly saves many troubload lawsuits for those who transact business through his office. His legal training helps him considerably—and incidentally it probably saves many a poor man or woman a lawyer's fee. Torrens system of registering lands." This system provides an insurance of title by the state and makes all lands registered under it secure from contests over titles. Fitzgerald never loses a friend. The result is that he has been returned to office each time he has filed, with increasing majorities. Those who follow elections closely expect him to win this fall with a larger majority than ever before. DR. D. C. JONES Democratic Candidate for Coroner Ramsey County. Dr. D. C. Jones, the present coroner of Ramsey county, presents himself for your suffrage depending entirely upon his record in the office as his claim for consideration at your hands. He has not only made a good, efficient public officer, but he has shown a spirit of fairness in the distribution of the patronage of his office to the summons for jurymen that cannot be easily dispatched. He is one of the men—who are not overly plentiful now-a-days—who believe a man is a man no matter what his nationality or color. He hopes to be remembered when making up your ballot Nov. 8. ```markdown ``` Mrs. McCullough cordially invites all the old patrons of the Autumn Leaf Dancing School to the November Soiree and Class Party to be given at Dearborn Hall, 45 Fourth street south, Minneapolis, Monday evening, Nov. 14th.

John Ross, the Republican candidate for Representative of the 36th District, comprising the 4th ward, has lived in the ward for twenty-two years and has always worked hard for the success of the Republican party and is at present secretary of the Fourth ward organization. If he is elected he will support the Hon. Moses E. Clapp for United States Senator and will be found voting for him, the last ditch is crossed. He will be represented from Hon. C. Stevens for Congress from the Fourth Congressional District. He is against county option first, last and all the time. He will always be found doing all in his power in the interest of his constituents regardless of party politics. Don't fail to place an X opposite his name on your ballot Nov. 8. WM. A.

Republican Candidate for Commis sioner Ramsey County. Almost undoubtedly one of the next County Commissioners of Ramsey county will be David W. Gray. "He is making a winning campaign. He has served two terms as County Commissioner and has also been a member of the Board of Control. He is an independent farmer and knows the needs of the people of Ramsey, toughly honest and upright in all his dealings," both in and out of office, he will make an ideal county commissioner. Vote for him on Nov. 8. ROBERT A. SMITH Democratic Candidate for Commissioner Ramsey County. The popularity of Robert A. Smith in this community was again demonstrated when he was nominated as county commissioner of Ramsey county at the late primaries. He still lives in the hearts of the people whom he has served so long and so well in various official capacities. That he will make a good county commissioner no one can doubt, as he thougheth he will be elected the people and that he will be elected goes without saying. However, he solicits your support to help make his vote larger. DANIEL J. KEEFE Republican Candidate for Attorney, Ramsev County. Daniel J. Keefe, the Republican candidate for County Attorney of Ramsey County, who received the very large vote at the primaries and who is conceded by many will be the winner in the coming election, is 42 years of age.

Mr. Keefe is one of the leading lawyers of the city and state, and is well qualified to fill the position of county attorney.

RICHARD D. O'BRIEN Democratic Candidate for Attorney of Ramsey County. Richard D. O'Brien, the present county attorney of Ramssey county, a position he has held for the past four years very acceptably to all persons having business with that office, is a candidate for re-election not from a party standpoint alone but upon his record in the office. He was born in St. Paul. 36 years ago in the city of D. O'Brien, well known to every one as one of the ablest lawyers in the city and "Dick" O'Brien, as he 'is familiar called, is a chip off the old block or, as they say in "The Girl in the Taxi" "Like father like son." Those who know, no matter to which partyparty they belong, must admit that during his incumbency the office has been conducted in a proper manner, acceptable, to the citizens of the city. There is no plausible reason why Mr. O'Brien should not be retained in the position he has filled so well. Remember him when you mark your ballot on election day, Nov. 8. Dr. Carl Wirth, who is the Progressive Republican candidate for the Senate from the 34th District, is a well known and successful practicing physician of this city, where he has lived for many years.

Pro俏匠s Utley's hair straightener complete YOUNG BRIDE GIVES IT UP Found Sporting Page Dope Too Deep When She Tried to Study Baseball. She was a bride of six weeks. She had married a baseball fan, and on leaving the house that morning he had appealed to her to look at the sporting news in the paper and try to catch on to the game. She was a loving, dutiful bride. She sat down and read: "Jim then rushed in and swung for Joe's body." "Joe administered a corndodger on the ear." "Jim fiddled for a moment and then got in a clean left and got away without a return." "Joe followed him, and seeing an opening, dropped his man on the mat for the count of seven." "When Jim arose he fell into a clinch and soon recovered his wind." "At this point there were cheers for both." "When the referee had separated them Joe planted a haymaker on Jim's chin and Jim returned one on the solar plexus." "The crowd went wild with excitement." "Both men came together with a determination to end things. They were glaring like tigers, and—" And right here the bride broke down, threw the paper aside, and ran to her mother to exclaim: "Mamma, there must be a divorce, for I can never understand baseball, and Fred will be mad at me!" UNCLE SAM IS SLOW PAY One Army Officer Had to Wait 39 Years for Small Sum of Cash. If anyone doubts that Uncle Sam often is tardy in settling his just debts all they have to do to dispel that illusion is to ask Brig. Gen. Harry R. Anderson, U. S. A., retired, to whom the government has acknowledged that he has had coming to him for some 39 years a small amount of government cash. After many years of putting Uncle Sam time and again through the third degree, as it were, in the shape of a claim in connection with his old-time army service, the doughty general succeeded lately in extracting a full and complete confession from the controller of the treasury and law officer of the department, whose word is final, that his contention was right that the government forthwith must turn over to him $240.10 he ought to have had long years ago. Fair-minded people will think that Uncle Sam, to do the handsome thing, ought to pay the general interest on the money he has not had the use of in this long period, but your Uncle Samuel will do no such thing. He pays no interest on such money as that, and never has. At fair interest the claim would total more than $800. While the amount involved is small, Gen. Anderson's case is unique by reason of its age and the fact that some of the items figuring in it date back as far as 1871, and are for ridiculously small sums, ranging from 40 cents to the highest single item of $33.54 Children Teething.

TALENTED CONVICTS GO FREE Song and Poetry Bring Pardon to Two; Cartoon Work 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 Plaidealer 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 rareal 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 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 Skinkle's woods in the suburbs of Weehawk 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 unconduited pardon. MADAM H.

Moving Pictures of Insects A French inventor, Monsieur Bull, has perfected a cinematograph with which pictures of insects in flight may be taken, and afterward exhibited in motion upon a screen, or a stereoscopic apparatus. As many as 2,000 images per second may be made, but in studying the movement made by the flying insects, as represented by the images, the latter can be caused to pass with relatively great deliberation, so that only 12 or 15, or even only two or three succeed one another per second. By an ingenious device Monsieur Bull causes the insect itself to make an electric contact, and thus set the apparatus in motion at the beginning of its flight. Women Barred From Temples. Amongst the Fiji islanders dogs are excluded from some temples. Women are, however, debarred from all. In the Marquesas islands, should a woman venture to enter a temple while divine service is being held, or even walk under the shadow of its trees, she would be forthwith put to death. Exclusion of the fair sex extends even to dancing parties, festivals, entertainments and banquets. In many cases only folks of one sex make up a dance, the intrusion of the other being punishable with death. This separation of the two sexes is adhered to by Greenlanders, even at funerals.—North American Review. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF RAMSEY, ss. In Probate Court.

Pettijohn as state treasurer to take the place made vacant by the death of Clarence C. Dinehart. 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 satisfaction of approval and satisfaction of all sections of the state is sufficient evidence of the governor's tact and diplomacy. It also indicates to the observer that Eberhart has a tremendous hold on the popular mind, and possesses the confidence and esteem of the masses.—Mankato Free Press. Appointment Made Friends Gov. Eberhart's appointment of W. E. Hale to succeed Judge Brooks of Newmopalus is one to be commended. And he made a great many friends in the appointment of this able jurist.—Madison Lake Tribune. COUNTY OPTION Will Sign Option Bill. Gov. A. O. Eberhart formally opened the campaign at Mankato, his home town, on Tuesday evening, in one of the best speeches made by him during the year. His position upon the leading questions of the day was fairly and forcibly stated, and as to county option he stands precisely where he did prior to the state convention. He will sign a bill if passed by the legislature, and no governor could do more. - Hastings Gazette For People to Decide The keynote speech of Gov. Eberhart 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 legislature to the enactment of such a measure, and that will settle the question. —Detroit Record. Democrats Indorse Eberhart. The Democratic state convention endorsed 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 support Eberhart—St. Cloud Journal Press. The County Option "Keynote." Mr. James Gray, the Democratic candidate 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 expected, he declared with emphasis for the option, and, going a step farther than Gov. Eberhart—who has pledged himself to sign passes one—Mr. Gray promises to recommend the measure to the Legislature. This is spectacular rather than important. The Legislature is not likely to 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. Not Party Dictator. Gov. Eberhart in the early spring appeared before the county optionists of the state. He told them frankly that it was not within his province to dictate the policy of his party on this important question. That county option was a legislative question, and that the option measure was passed during his tenure as governor he would sign the measure. He reiterated this statement at Mankate Tuesday evening and the republican platform declares for "full and free consideration of all legislation pertaining to the liquor traffic and its regulation." Under the conditions as they exist, taking into consideration the platform of the two parties, as well as the declarations of the two candidates, the Standard cannot understand how either county optionist or anti can support Mr. Gray.—Fairfax Standard. Painting the Pump to Purify the Well. Governor Eberhart turned out one phrase Tuesday night which will live through the camaign and do him good 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 governor's office and furnish a true index of public opinion in their respective localities. service. He was discussing the attitude of both parties toward county option 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 party, well understood that his party is not for county option, well remains as before, and painting the pump with county option paint does not purify the water supply.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. A. Democratic Opinion. The following from the Red Wing Free Press, for years one of the strongest and uncompromising Democratic papers in the state, is significant: James Gray, who is running for Governor on the Democratic ticket, occupies a most peculiar position. In the first place he is not the nominee of the Democratic party, and in the second 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 convention, which nominated John Lind for Governor, had not a word to say about Mr. Gray for the office, although several 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 only one who could be found willing to make the run, is an unimportant question. Both factors probably entered into the case. Instead of abiding by the decision of the state convention on the subject 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 option 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 now change it. No Governor, pledged on unpledged on the subject, would veto such a bill if passed. Consequently, the ante-election pose by the gubernatorial 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 present, Democratic party, which in this case is alienated instead of attracted by the attitude of the candidate, 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 Democratic party organization for campaign purposes only. Position Fair And Reasonable. It seems to the Times that the criticism of Gov. Eberhart by the county option delegates to the convention last week was unjust. The governor's statement of his position with reference to county option seems fair and reasonable. -Olivia Times. Eberhart and County Option Eberhart and County Option. Will some kind Democrat or near-Democrat give one sound reason why Governor Eberhart should have pledged himself to county option at last week's convention, there were present half as many Democrats, and fully as many near-Democrats as true Republicans, and yet some professing to be Republicans 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 petition with an ounce of common sense could do. His pledge to sign a county option bill, should one be pledged to the legislature, should be sufficient for the enactment of law, the fundamental right and the exclusive duty of the legislature. -Luverne Herald. Personal Life Praised Governor Eberhart's personal life harmonizes perfectly with a county option platform, but it should not be expected that he will try to dictate that he will do his party, though a strong endorser to his proposition would naturally be pleasing to the county option forces.—Glenwood Gopher-Press. Met Issue Courageously Referring to Gov. Eberhart's declaration before the convention, the Marshall 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 pledging 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 it, he was not guilty. It is neither fair nor is it good politics". Eberhart 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 option plank in the Republican platform which, as any sane man knows, would be an utter impossibility unless Governor Eberhart, who is conceded the nomination, would jeopardize his success for the sake of being dictator.—East Grand Forks Valley View. Governor's Pledge Enough. If the Anti-Saloon league is a non-partisan organization, the only question of organization ought to have presented to Governor Eberhart is whether or not he as governor would sign a county option bill if passed by the legislature. This he has pledged himself to do, and having secured this the energies of the league ought to be deferred to members of the legislature favored 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. Showed Good Judgment Governor Eberhard delivered a manly, straightforward speech at the county option convention. The governor was right in regarding the question as a legislative and not a gubernatorial one, and in advance of the question, such reform measure by the republican governor showed his good judgment in obtaining 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 Eberhart has demonstrated 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 option, or in the camp of the enemy, he has given the friends of the propaganda, as well as its opponents, to understand that he is ready to sign the option measure when the legislature passed it. The governor has adroitly passed the matter up to the legislature and placed the responsibility where it belongs. In so doing he has placed himself upon record as a statesman rather than a radical theorist.-Duluth Record. Independence Recognized. 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 option convention at St. Paul. It was a presumption to place the executive in control of where he must favor any of the schemes of citizens. His friends all over the state will recognize his strength and independence.-Cass Lake Times. Governor Is Sincere 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 slightest doubt.—Minneota Mascot. Easy Problem to Solve The voters of Minnesota are being treated this year to the spectacle of a 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 a county option man and making that his main issue. We have no objections to county option if the majority of the people wish it, but we hope that they will not be fooled into voting for a man for governor thinking that they will secure county option. The man who are sent to the legislature are the ones who will made the county option if it is made. Gov. Eberhart has promised to sign any such bill passed and do not know what more could be asked of a man. This is all the governor could do anyway and the county option people could ask for no. Frank Day and the rest of that crowd are trying to work the greatest hoax of the day on the Minnesota voters but we doubt very much if it will go down—Motley Mercury. Ridiculous Assumption How could the friends of county option expect James Gray to do any more for the passage of a county option 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 members, and every one of them is fairly well qualified to be governor of the state of Minnesota, and a big majority of them republicans. Now is it reasonable to suppose that a democratic governor could dictate to that body of men what laws they should or should not pass? It is ridiculous 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 Eberhart is pledged to sign a county option bill if presented to him for sig- nature as governor. What more could any governor do. Gray's play for the county option bill not go with the people when they know it is placed on the Democratic ticket by the 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- dress the county optionists secured a square deal that the convention listened respectfully to the press of Su- tup. Youngdahl of the anti- slaon league. Gray's position is a farce.— Akeley Herald-Tribune. Straightforward and Strong Governor Eberhart in his keynote speech stood squarely on the Republican state platform. He showed up the bunco game of the Democratic committee nominee for governor on the county option issue. Mr. Eberhart's address jumped and straightforward one, one that amped the sense, not prejudice and it will land in the governor's chair by 75,000 majority.—Eden Valley Journal. Position Indorsed Geo. Eberhart stands squarely upon platform adopted by the last republican 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 democratic leaders and reiterates his former position by saying that if a county option bill is passed during his term of office he will approve and enforce it, and then naively adds, "My county can do no more, although he may promote more." The speech is dignified and conservative, fair and convincing—Ortonville Herald-Star. County Option a Legislative Issue. Once more Senator Nelson has a wise old head, and it will take clever politics even than was shown at Albert Lea to strip it from senatorial honors in two years. He takes the ticklish question of county option frankly enough, only to hand it over to the legislature. Of course that is where it belongs. When the free trade Democracy nominated a high protection Republic can for president in hope of postoffices, they got out of their hole by "referring the tariff question to the congressional districts." That is exactly what both party conventions have done in this state, because they had to. No governor can do anything for county option but sign a bill. The county option question will be set, as it was settled before, by men nominated and elected by the people in primaries and elections by secret ballot. 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 Gophers. Up to date, just one Democratic candidate to the legislature has declared in favor of Senator Clapp's reelection, following Mr. Lind's trail. That one is Cashman of Owatonna, who, doubtless, would forget it, if elected, and there was any chance for a Democrat. Mr. Lind's bait has not stamped any Republicans to the support of the Democrats. The St. Cloud Journal-Press gives a short and clear exposition of his want of logic and the plainness of the steel trap which surrounds the bait. It says: "To show just how illogical Lind is it can be truthfully stated that if the exit 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 ontion law be passed. "If Mr. Lind is sincere, he would urge the election of Republican senators 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.

The governor took a squarer and commendable stand improvements, railroad legislation, etc. government, the general opinion is that Gov. Bob has made good, and that he is entitled to reelection.—Hokah Chief. GENERAL RECORD Speech Was Aggressive Governor Eberhart delivered a carefully prepared address at Mankato on Tuesday evening in which he handled state matters in a masterly manner. The governor took the position that the platform adopted by the republican state convention was good enough and broad enough for him to stano and one of the speech was decidedly aggressive. And the Kitchen Cabinet received more than a passing mention.—Princeton Union. For Clean Politics. The statement made by Governor Eberhard that he will run the governor's office, not in the interest of his own political preferment nor in the interest of the republican party, but in the interest of the people of the state, reminds us of the time when we had clean politics. The people of this state have had enough of machine politics.—Warroad Commonwealth. The Logical Candidate Governor Eberhart is the logical candidate for Governor. Young, selfmade, progressive, independent, aggressive, he appeals to all that is best in American citizenship—Minneapolis Star. Right By Every Issue There is no reason why every Republican should not vote for Governor Eberhart and give him and the entire Republican State ticket an old-time republican majority. On every question of vital interest to the people, Gov. Eberhart stands squarely on his party's platform and that platform combines every element in which there is an issue before the people and on every issue the governor is right. Stillwater Messenger.

Eberhart is gaining strength in the affections of the people, who are no longer slow in recognizing worth in a public official—Pigestone, Star. Election Is Assured Might as well issue that certificate of election to Gov. Eberhart right now.—Sauk Rapids Sentinel-Free Press. Honored by Home Town. Governor Adolph O. Eberhart has reason to feel more than pleased and gratified at the magnificent reception that was accorded him in his home city last evening. The function, although political in its character, certainly was a strong testimonial from his fellow citizens as to his standing and worth in this community, and it will be 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 boyhood days, his struggles to gain an education, his coming from college and his call to the sterner activities of life, his call to the sterner activities, thence to the second highest position in the state government, and finally to the executive chair. In all 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. This being true, it is not surprising that Governor Eberhart should have been so well received by his neighbors at last night's meeting.—Mankato Free Press. Made of Good Fiber Gov. Eberhart is making new friends every day, and is demonstrating that he is made of good fibre—Wadena Pioneer Journal. Speech Strong Document Gov.

IN his keynote speech Geoff Bharart makes no vote-getting promises that cannot be fulfilled, but states just what he believes is best for the country and what he will do if it is his opportunity.—Campbell News. People Believe In Him Gov. Eberhart is asking for an election to the position of chief executive upon his record in that office during the past year. He has made a manly statement of his position upon all important questions. He is clean in his private and public life. He will not be the governor of any particular interest or faction, but of all the people. The people of this section believe in him and he will receive the largest vote ever cast for a gubernatorial candidate in the territory tributary to Fairfax—Fairfax Standard. Stirs Up Enthusiasm.

Gray is not the right shade this year to beat him.—Foley Tribune. Loyal to the State Governor Eberhart had the unique distinction of receiving the unanimous vote of the state convention and he did not have to make any pre-convention vote. He is not controlled by any interests in the control of the party. He came to the office nearly a year ago under trying circumstances. He has made good. He is yet a young man and will continue to grow in statesmanship. He is in leadership of the state and zealously guards her every heart. His heart is right and he is making his heart and make Minnesota a good governor.—St. James Plaindealer.
