OUR TICKET.

The republican party presents to the
voters Of Minnesota a ticket this tall
which challenges criticism. From head
to foot it is uniformly good. There is
not a name on it that needs to be erased
in the interest of good government, true
patriotism or political and personal
purity.
Governor Merriam is a tower OF
strength, and his administration will
long be cited among the wisest and most
vigorous the state has ever been blessed
with. In every department he is master
of the situation bv reason of the consci-
entious devotion he has given to detail
and the vigor with which he has admin
istered affairs. Economy OF the true
type, that which checks unnecessary ex-
penditure of public treasure, and yet
which provides sufficiently tor the fullest
discharge of every function of the state,
has characterized his administration.
He has gratifed the laudable am bition
OF being governor in fact by participant
ing actively in the plans and purposes of
the various state boards, and his clear,
incisive business methods have been inn
pressed upon every department with
which he legally and officially has to do.
He shirks no responsibility, delegates no
duties which rightfully belong to him,
and is content to stand or fall upon his
record. The more intimately he is known
officially the higher he rises in public es-
timation. He is worthy head of an
admirable ticket. The names coupled
with his on the ticket are not less hon
orable. Senator Gideon S. Ives, the cam
didate for lieutenant governor, has had
experience in the senate and his record
has nothing in it which must be apollo
gized for or needs concealing. He will
make model presiding officer.
F. d. Brown, our candidate for Secre-
tary of state, is Scandinavian by birth,
but thorough ingrained and polished
American citizen by adoption and by
choice.-He is keen and active, trained
in business affairs and fully equipped for
the responsible position to which he
aspires.
Attorney Conceal Clapp-nothing need
be said of him TO the HERALD readers.
They all know him as the embodiment
of the truest type of strong manhood.
By education and experience he has &C
quired every prerequisite for the respon-
sibilities of which he has so admirably
administered for the past four years.
He is a giant among men, and yet his
unlimited seniality is of that quality
which holds his tremendous reserve
power i'll pleasant check
Treasures Bobleter has served the state
in a manner which assured his re-nomi-
nation as the recognition of just debt,
and it will be paid at the polls.
c. Z. Holcombe, candidate for clerk of
the court, is least known OF any man on
the ticket. He has been sheriff of Wash
ihS eoH SouHly III many years, anu tuOSe
who know him best are warmest in his
praise.
This ticket is sure winner. The peo-
pie of the state are not to be deceived by
any false issues, to be led away after
strange gods. Professions stand tor
nothing as against demonstrated fitness.
Whatever may be the great and good
qualities of other candidates, it doesn't
pay to experiment where no improve
ment can reasonably be expected under
terms and conditions most favorable.
