THE GUBERSATORIAL. CANDIDATES.

You ask my impression of the three
prominent candidates for governor of
the State of Minnesota. As matter
of brains Mr.. Donnelly ranks we'll
with the others; and in his way would
make good governor. But his ca
reer has been too chameleon-like to
admit of any creditable conjecture as
to his policy should he be elected. The
bitter luminosity with which he follows
an adversary, and the uncertainty SUR
rounding his political position will
tend to weaken his cause, both with
political leaders and voters.
Mr.. Nelson will be strong among
the Scandinavian population on &C
count of his nationality, although this
may weaken his cause among those
with radical American ideas. His in
terest in agriculture will win him
friends among the farmers. His sup
port of the Mills bill will cause some
objection among high tariff Repubi-
cans, but will find friends among Dem
ocrats and members Of the Peoples
Party. However, this will cut no figure
with the most orthodox Republican
when it is understood that Mr.. Nelson,
in common with many others, felt the
need of tariff rev ision, but afterwards
lent hearty support to the Mckinley
bill, with its reciprocity clause. AS the
campaign advances it will become
manifest that the Republican candi-
date will carry the full strength Of his
party.
Mr.. Lawler has the advantage of be-
ing among the younger and more pro-
gressive element of Minnesota Demo
Gratis. With oratorical powers OF a
higher order, he will cause some stir
among politicians, but his Catholic at
fliations and un-American views ON
the public school question will weaken
him in his own party.
