THE opposition hopes to gain
strength by circulating reports of
wonderful accesiOns to their party in
different counties in the State. These
reports, however. are not supported
by facts. Republicans generally are
in line, working with earnestness and
enthusiasm for the success of the en-
tire ticket and in this they are sec.
Onded by large body of independent
voters and many Democrats, who are
disguised with the plan followed in
the Bierman campaign. The Demo.
cratic plan is dodge, they are act.
ing upon no settled principle, and
thinking voters fail to see in the ma
tionality plea sufficient grounds for
rendering their support.

The Constitutional Amendments

One of the questions upon which
the voters of minnesota will be called
to decide at the election next Tues
day is that of amending articles five,
six and seven of the State cOnstitu-
ton. If adopted, the effect Of these
amendments will be to change the
length of term of Secretary Of State.
state Treasurer, Attorney General.
Clerk of the Supreme Court. and
Judges of the District Court and
these changes will make general cleo
tions come biennially. This move is
one which is of direct interest to the
tax payers of the State. A general
election costs over $4,000. Under
the present system this expenditure
is necessary every year, and with the
rapid development of the State it will
of course he increased. as additional
polling places will need to be estab-
lished in new settlements. If the
expenses of our elections can be re-.
duced one half, as would be the case
if the proposed amendments are
adopted, as a simple matter OF public
economy they should receive the sup
port of all tax .payers. The mere fact
that they will increase the term of Of
flee of some officials and diminish
others is of but little consequence, as
the main purpose is reduction in eX
penses. We believe that the cOnsid.
Grafton of this question by the voters
will result in the passage of the
amendments.
Another phase of the question, and
one which is of considerable import.
ance, is, that should these amend
ments be adopted. our State will be
freed from the almost continual
turmoil of political strIfe. Hardly is
the excite ment of one campaign end.
ell before the stir of the coming strug'
gle is felt. The country has too much
politics. Business is more or less af.
fected by the frequent political bat
ties. and unquestiOnably our State
would be in il better condition if
these were partially abolished. Other
States have tried this plan and report
favorable results, and we are satisfied
that should the voters of Minnesota
decide in favor of the change the re
suit would be most satisfactory.

Ringing Letter from a Leading Irish
American

To the Editor.
St. Paul, Oct. 24.-Because the
Northeastern Chronicle has the courage
to denounce the political trickery
which prompted and supported the
candidacy Of A. Bierman for Cover
nor on the Democratic ticket, and
gave good reasons why Irishmen
should not support that nomination,
the Irish are treated to perfect flood
of advice. blarney, and threats by the
Globe. and it even calls in the assist
ance of anonymous "Irishmen' to
crack the party whip over them while
slurring their race and creed. The
very source of such advice is as des-
picable as the creatures who are
ashamed to append their names to
their political views expressed in its
columns, and both are unworthy of
notice.
However. Mr.. Thomas W. Sheehy,
AN old and respected citizen, writes
in condemnation of the Chronicles

cratic party. He mistakes the issue.
1t is not one of party but of principle
and men. There is no public CAM
paign or effort beng made to educate
the voters in the principles of party,
so that they are wholly at liberty, and
it is their duty to select the best men
for office. Furthermore, all interest
is centered in that of the executive
chair Of State. 1t is admitted by all
that the present incumbent. Governor
Hubbard, is honest and capable,
though an American ; yet the Demo
cratic party. failing to secure the &C.
ceptance of Il man of equal probity,
has placed on its ticket the name of
n. Bierman, IA Norwegian, in the
hope of catching Norwegian votes.

cans, and secure their votes.
There is no attempt to educate the
NOrwegians, in the principles OF DEM
Ocracy, or to win them to party by
means of the correctness OF those
principles; but they are asked to de-
sert their party. which privilege is
not allowed the Irish, and vote for
comparatively unknown and untried
Norwegian for governor, against q
