Adjt. Gen. Mullen is one of the ap-
pointments made by Gov. Merriam.
The new adjutant general is a veteran
of the last war, and is pleasant ami
mated gentleman, rather under the me-
dunn stature and of slight build. Gen.
Mullen took part in number of the
fiercest battles of the war. He tells a
good story of his. first promotion. One
morning his captain, after reducing
another man to the ranks, promoted him
to the rank of corporal, and man never
felt more proud than he. But, alas!
for his aspirations, as when dress parade
came the same evening he was reduced
to the ranks. The reason was: His
regiment hau been detailed to escort
Gen. Butter from the docks to the ST.
Charles hotel in New Orleans, and had
received strict orders to pay no atten-
ton to insults thrown at them while
marching through the streets. March
ing in the rear of his company, some one
kicked hoop into the ranks, causing a
number of the men to stumble. This
chagrined the young corporal, and he
chased the offender up a stairway of
an adjoining house. intent upon letting
the fellow feel the point of his bayonet.
But the captain of the next company
followed, caught him by the collar and
returned him to the line. That night he
suffered the consequences of upholding
the honor of his regiment against
orders. Since the war Gen. Mullen has
been practicing law at Wabasha. He
was born in Ireland in 1S43. and came
to this country in 1916.

man. settling in Minnesota when a

He located in Todd county, and the
seven years that followed were spent in
farming. But agricultural pursuits were
too tame for him, especially after the
classical training he received at the New
Jersey Classical and Science institute
and at Lewisburg institute. Boldly
casting aside all restraints, Mr.. Jones
read law with the old firm of Minor &
Barto, lawyers, Sank Center, and was
admitted to the bar Of the state In 1875.

appointments, including that of county

ships, he carries well his three and forty
years. Born in Austria in the early
part of 1876 he emigrated to this coun-
try in 1858, and during the war of the
Rebellion figured with distinction in
both the army and navy of the Union
forces. He afterwards settled in Min
nesota, and from 1878 to 1885 was post
master at New Ulm, where he ran a
drug store, afterwards migrating into
the newspaper business and establish
ing the New Ulm Review. Col. Boble-
ter conducted this paper until his cleo
ton to the position of state treasurer in
1886, to which post he was reelected
last fall. His military title is secured
as colonel of the Second regiment of
the national guards, with which his
connection dates back to 1870.

party in the Northwest. His eXcellency
has now been in office two months. The
indications are that his administration
will fulfill all the high expectations
raised by his selection. At the out
set he placed his foot upon
prOffigate appropriation of the taxes,
and by his direction the legislature has
appointed special committee to thor
oughly overhaul the state finances. 1t
IS an open secret that Gov. Merriam is
determined to end the happy-go-lucky
system Of state financiering, and legis-
lators are all aware that during his re-
gime the garment will have to be cut
according to the cloth. Gov. Merriam
has also shown further proof of his
sturdy independence by his appoint
mentS. There is not one of his appoint
ments that has created any serious eX-
pressions of disappointment; and the
citizens OF the state are not only assured
of clean, but of an economical govern
ment. Gov. Merriam is typical Min
nesotian. He located with his father,
Hon. John L. Merriam, at st. Paul in
1861. He was then lad of twelve. His
business career has been solely confined
to banking, commencing as clerk in the
First National bank in 1871. Two years
later found him cashier Of the Mer
chants National bank, of which he was
elected vice president in 1880 and presi-
dent in 1882. The latter position he
still retains. When elected to the
gubernatorial chair his excellency de-
sired to be relieved of the duties of
president of the bank, but the stock
holders would not allow him to resign.
GOV. Merriam was in the legislature of
1888, and speaker of the legislature of
1887, position which his father filled
sixteen years before. He filled the
highest Office of the state agricultural
association, and by his smart business
instincts rehabilitated that lettering in
stitution into the great success achieved
within the past two years.

ultimately selling out his interest. He
has ever had a tendency to dabble in
newspapers and politics, and has held
many honorary positions in local polit-
ical organizations. He was elected
secretary of the Republican league,
1887; and during the late campaign took
an active part in the election of Gov.
Merriam. He is thirty-four years old.
Judge Daniel A. Dickinson, of the
supreme court of Minnesota, has been
on the bench so long that he is little
known beyond it, and has written his
history in long line of decisions pro-
mulgated by that court. Judge Dickin-
son is Green Mountaineer, and calls
Vermont his native state. His birth
occurred in 1889, and was born and bred
a lawyer. He graduated from Dart
mouth college in 1860, but the
war prevented his then adopting a
profession. He chose the naval branch
of the service and was engaged until
1865. He then actively engaged in the
practice of law, but in 1868 removed to
Minnesota and located at Mankato. In
1874 he was elected judge of the district
court, which Office he held until 1881,
when Gov. PillSbury appointed him to
the supreme bench. He was subse-
quently reelected and is now conclud-
ing his second term.

and member of the New

and unfavorable climatic influences
necessitated a change. He came to
Minnesota in 1873, and resided at Duluth
up to three years ago, when, being I'M
able to attend to the combining duties of
an Office, he'repaired to his farm at De-
trOit, Becker county. Outdoor work
and exercise with dog and gun have
thoroughly re-established his health,
and since his appointment as insurance
commissioner Mr.. Bailey has had
heavy griSt of work to cover. He is an
active, keen politician. A Tippecanoe
badge, which he wore in the exciting
campaign of 1910, is still in his possess
