New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1892-09-21
The Legislative Ticket.

% often the legislative tickets IN the
various districts throughout the
state are allowed to go by default,
| being lost In the struggle for the SO
called higher offices. The legislature
which meets at st. Paul this winter is
| one OF the utmost Importance to the
future welfare of the state. Indepen-
dent OF other considerations, the
mere fact that the retention of Hon.
| Z. X. Davis will be imperiled by a
loss OF the legislature, should con-
strain every republican to stand
firmly by the republican nomina-
| lions for the legislature.
| For i've years Senator Davis has
filled a seat in that great national
body which has been honored in the
past by holding in it's membership
the sublimest intellects in the nation.
The Senior Senator from Minnesota,
even thus early in his senatorial ca
| reer is recognlzedin Washington as the
peer CT any man to-day hold
ing a seat in that great legisla-
tive body. No member of the SEN
ate OF the United States is more
earnestly and attentively listened to
| when he speaks upon any subject than
c. K. Davis. He has in these five
short years taken his place beside
Clay and Webster as an eloquent
speaker, beside Edmunds as consti-
tutional lawyer, and he will rank with
Clinton and Benton for his great ca
paclty for business and industry in
the discharge Of his manifold duties.
Before he was chosen to
the senate, c. K Davis had state
reputation. Today his name is known
from one end of the country to the
other. Old soldiers everywhere know
him as chairman OF the committee on
pensions, and in that responsible po-
stion tens OF thousands remember
with gratitude his cordial and kindly
helpfulDess to the veterans and
their widows. 1t is not generally
| known, however, that only one
man stands between Senator Davis
and the craftsmanship of the commit
tee on Foreign relations. He is to-
day the greatest authority on inter-
national law in the senate OF the
United States. During the recent
complications with Chill and in the
settlement of the Behring Sea difficult
ty between the United States and
Great Britain, his loyal requirements
were OF the greatest service to the
National administration. No move
was made by the State Depart
ment without his council and advice
had first been obtained.
Nor is this all. He is the author.
father, and defender Of the bill for the
Improvement OF navigation through
thelake chain. Through his powerin
the senate Duluth will in a. few years
takre ank as the rival OF Chicago as the
| greatest OF the lake ports Through
his industry, foresight and popu-
larlty The iron industry is to become
domiciled as one of the greatest in
dustries of the North Star State.
The impetus already given to Mime
sofa industries through the INTEL gent
action and the uncomfortable indus
try Of Senator Davis will be felt in
this state for more than a century.
! There should be no question of the
election OF our greatest fellow citizen,
and there will be none if the Republi-
can party holds it majority in the
state Legislature.
There is known to be much unrest
in the political field, but this should
not enter into the legislative
contest. 1t would be bad pol
icy to exchange Senator Davis
for any new and untried man, be he
ever sol intelligent and accomplished.
The people Of Minnesota have known
Mr.. Davis for over quarter OF a
century. He has been often tried in
high and responsible positions and
never found wanting. Let the ranks
be firmly closed up on all our legisla-
tive tickets. In voting for a Demo
cratic or a populist candidate for
the legislature a vote is being
cast against the return OF the
Hon. G. K. Davis to o seat he
has honored in the senate OF the
United States. Neither Mr.. Castle,
nor Mr.. Owen, nor Mr.. Donnelly, nor
Judge Lochren, can fill the seat OF
the Senior Senator from Minnesota,
and it would be q grevious mistake at
this time to make any such exchange.
Let us all stand by the Republican
legislative nominees.
The Lieutenant Governorships.
The Hon. David Clough, republican
candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
has long been known as a prominent
business man of Minnesota, and as
an active and useful local politician.
The present campaign is serving the
purpose of making him widely known
to the people of the entire State.
He commenced life as a farmer boy
in lIsanti County, afterwards he en-
tered the lumber business, in which
he was fairly successful financially,
acquiring a competence therein. In
his political career he has always been
most stalwart and uncompromising
republican. He has served two or
three terms in the legislature, and &C.
Quilted himself admirably in every
public position ever held by him. His
promotion to the high position OF
Lieuter AIT Governor will be deserved
promotion.
Mr.. Clough will strive to visit every
section OF the Estate q pending the
election, and make the personal &C
i quaintance of as many of the voters
as possible. Energetic, forcible in
