1t ID reasonable to suppose that IN the
state of Minnesota, even whom the Norve-
gian element in some counties are largely
in the majority, native born American citi-
zens would be recognized to enjoy an equal
proportion of the county offices. In this
new county, that was cut off from Polk
county only last winter, there are about
1000 voters and fully $50 are Norwegians.
When the officers were appointed by
Gov. John 8. Pillsbury last
winter, to hold until the
general election this fall, he gave two of
the county Offices to the Americans and
the remainder to the Scandinavians.
At the county convention held here yes
terday, the native-born Americans were
left out, every county officer nominated,
six in all, being a Norwegian. We claim
that nearly all of the Scandinavians
are honest, upright, energetic citizens,
but it is going little too far to ignore
US altogether and recognize no man unless
he is native-born Norwegian, even if
he has come from his native
home, and found a home here in the state
of Minnesota, where our laws know no ma
tionality, and respect every man who has
taken the oath of allegiance.
Our state board of emigration. and our
railroads spend annually thousands of
dollars IN printing books and pamphlets.
and even send men into Norway, to en-
Tighten the poor and oppressed, and en-
courage them to come to the "Land of the
free, and Home of the brave.''
So great has been this tide of emigra-
ton into some Minnesota counties that they
very largely outnumber the natives, and
every other nationality, and strange as it
may seem, they are no sooner naturalized
than they want an Office, and sacrifice every-
thing to run their county to suit them
selves. They are never known to 90 back
on one of their number, and Mr.. Kunte
Nelson, the chronic Office seeker, is to-day
appealing to them to vote for him on the
ground of nationality. Il may be appro-
PIRATE for him to state that many promi-
nent native-born Americans who are also
offioes seekers and who live in counties
where this element is predominant,
affiliate with them and sacrifice
all the principle they ever
had for Some petty Office.
In Polk county four of the best offices
in the court house are filed by the Nor
wegians and thank the Democratic par
" for the other two who were endorsed by
this party or they would not hold county
Office to-day.
Our only salvation at the coming cleo
ten in this senatorial district is TO have
tho Democratic party endorse the Kindred
American ticket and by 90 doing the
ticket with the full Democratic vote will
have at least 1900 majority.
