FRED P. BROWN,
Republican Candidate tor Secre.

The candidate for secretary of state is
Hon. Frederick P. Brown, of Blue
Earth City, Fairbault county. Like
the candidate for governor, he comes
from the old Viking stock Of Norway,
and was born in that country in the year
1888 The family name of the race was
originally ''Brun," having been angli
cised to Grown" when settlement was
first made in America. Tho Bruins Of
Norway have been known for several
generations in the civil, military and
ecclesiastical history OF that country.
All readers of Nordsk iteratur will
readily recall tho name of John Nord-
ahl Drun, one of the distinguished poets
of his race and country during the clos

the great grandfather of the subject Of

Republican Candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.

tenant Governor.
The Republican party is essentially
party of the people, and in all its history
has delighted to honor those men who,
springing from the loins Of the masses,
have demonstrated the kingliness OF
their origin by possessing the talent
and energy to fill high positions and
discharge exalted functions in an 90
ceptable way. It is singular fact, and
pregnant with meaning, that this great
political organization found it's seed in
New England and the fair and laborious
west and north; that it grew up id OPP
position to the aristocratic institution
of human slavery in the south, and that
its chosen and trusted leaders through
out its splendid history have been men
not priding themselves upon high birth
and historic blood, but representatives
Of that strong, virile and aggressive
type of humanity whose fathers and
mothers were not ashamed to labor with
their hands.
Of this type were Lincoln and Grant,
Charles Sumner and Horace Greedy,
Henry Wilson and Hannibal Hamlin.

the Democrats az an opprobrious cpl
thet, soon became the nom de guerre
adopted BY his friends and supporters,
and through that epithet he has been
enabled to conquer in many Of his warm
est contests.
Mr.. Nelson was boy years OF age
when brought to this country by his
widowed mother. Unaided by wealth
or family influence he has struggled up
ward from one position to another
honestly earning tho higher by honest
labors in the lower-until he stands be-
fore the people Of his state asking their
suffrages for the highest Office in their
gift. His service in our great volunteer
army during the war of the rebellion
splendid, courageous and manly as it
was-is a baptism into citizenship that
outranks any mere accident of birth aud
blood. He is an American citizen by
the right Of adoption, education, train
ing, and arduous military service. But
there is yet a higher claim to that citi-
zenship, of which we are all SO justly
proud. In every official position held
by Knute Nelson, he has acquitted him
self with high intelligence, perfect rec
titude and unswerving energy and
courage. If the Norwegian blood brings
these virtues to this the formative period
of that transcendant coming American
race which we all believe is to become
the sublimest people yet born into the
earth, is it not to be sought after and
welcomed when it seeks our shores?
In elevating Knute Nelson to the chief
executive Office of the state, the people
are honoring through him that vast
mass Of citizens Of his blood and kim
dred who have been as loyal to existing
American institutions as the most loyal
of all who are "native and to the manner
born"

Mr.. Clough il ono Of tho most ener-
getic and pubic spirited citizens Of the
city and state. He is prominent in the
Masonic fraternity, q trustee Of tho first
Congregational church, president Of the
commission appointed to build the
court house and city hall, and director
in the Commercial bank. In addition
to his lumber business he owns the
home farm upon which he first labored
in Minnesota thirty-6ve years ago, at
Spencer Brook, and has added to it until
it now covers an entire section Of land,
with splendid buildings and some Of tho
most valuable stock in the state. He
served three years as member of tho
city council, two of which he was the
president of that body. He served four
years in the state senate, his district
covering East Minneapolis, his present
residence, and Isanh county, the home
of his boyhood. In every public posi-
ton he has filed he has brought the
same characteristics which have made
his business life successful and prosper
ous-energy, honesty, perfect reliability
and a wide and far-seeing intelligence.
A few terms in his earliest boyhood
at such schools a. the pioneer period
supplied on the extreme frontier Of
Minnesota furnished the basis of MI.
Clough's education. Yet who can say
that the training sin ife's hard school"
was not the very wisest and best that
could have been bestowed upon him for
the work he has since been called upon
to do.
He has always been a Republican, and
during the past ten years active, labo-
rious and generous in the interests of
his party. Although he owes every
thing good that he possesses on earth to
hard work, he has never paraded as the
special friend Of the laboring man. He
prefers to let those with whom he has
labored tell the story of his own early
struggles, his failures and his triumphs.
And yet the army Of men who have
worked for him and worked with him
in Minnesota will say that no man of
their acquaintance ever lifted his share
moro cheerfully on cant-hook than
he; and they will further say that no
more generous or helpful employer il
to-day engaged in handling the indus
tries Of this great city.

generations past. The bishops second
son was father Of Frederick P. Brown.
The father emigrated from Norway
to America and settled on q farm in
Dane county, Wisconsin, in 1854, when
Frederick was only 16 years Of age.
Here the boy grew to manhood, much
after the fashion of other boys Of the
period whose destiny called them to the
frontier-for such was Wisconsin at
that early period. He aided the father
in opening the farm and constructing
the home, catching such advantages Of
education as he could.
Before reaching manhood Frederick
determined to go further west, and SO
left the paternal roof, taking up his
residence at Rochester, Olmsted county,
Minnesota. In 1886 he removed to
Blue Earth City, in Faribault county,
where he still lives.
In 1879 Mr.. Brown was elected on the
Republican ticket to the position Of
register Of deeds for Faribault county;
an Office he held for sixteen years. This
was the only public position he ever
held by the suffrages Of his fellow citi-
zens except that Of secretary Of state, to
which latter Office he was chosen in
1890.
The life Of Mr.. Brown has been . COM
paratively uneventful one-slnoh as may
be the history Of . large majority Of
his fellow citizens who righteously dis
charge each day those duties Of routine
which each day brings. That he has
been an excellent citizen, 8 faithful
public officer, q kind neighbor and rood
friend, goes without the saying. Ali this
has been demonstrated by tho immense
personal popularity which he enjoys ct
homo among those who have known
him longest and best.

It would require for widow, with a

Nelson, the Republican candidate for
governor Of Minnesota today, had JUS

. very small immigration from tho
Scandinavian peninsula to the United
States. Means of travel in that day
were very circumscribed, compared
with what they are today, and Mrs. Mel
sen would seem to have been taking

tory OF Minnesota was carved out of

OF this stock sprung James G.. Blaine,
of Maine, and Cushman 4. Davis, Of
Minnesota; and it is these men, spring
ing from an ancestry that was proud
and glad to do the hard and laborious
work of the world, that have for a full
generation moulded the destiuies of the
sublimest republic known to the pages
of human history,
From this class sprang the subject Of
this sketch, the Hon. David NJ. Clough,
Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor. Mr.. Clough was born at
Lynn, N. H., on the 9th day Of De-
cember, 1916. When he was nine years
old, or in 1866, his parents moved to the
Northwest, locating at Waupun,
Wisconsin, for two years, and then MAX
ing further advance toward the setting
sun by coming to Minnesota. Tho
elder Cloush settled upon a homestead
on Spencer Brook in Isanti county, and
here his son David, with other men,
bers Of his large family took their early
lessons in life by the hard manuel labor
of opening farm. The location of the
Clough homestead was on the line of
march from the falls of st. Anthony to
the lumber regions Of the Rum River
Valley, and young David early learned
to welcome the sturdy woodmen as they
made the semi-annual tours to and from
the pine woods-in the autumn going in
with heavy wagons laden with their
outfits" and returning again before
the advent of the robins or the meadow
larls, bringing sthe drive" down the

There is no moro fascinating labor
known in all the vast field Of human in

ciples live closer to nature in all her
varying moods than any other body Of
workers in the human hive. Isolated
from the sw6rms of men and women
who find their employment in the towns
and cities, the sturdy axman has time
to think. It is life to cultivate strong
minds in sturdy, healthful bodies, and
to bring prominently forward every ele-
ment of energy possessed by the man
who adopts it as profession.
It is not singular. therefore, that
young Clough should have made lum-
bering his life business. When he was
sixteen years Of age he commenced life
in the woods as the chief engineer of an
OK team, and the winter that witnessed
his seventeenth birthday found him re-
ceiving mans wages on the drive.
From that time until lie was 90 years Of
age he spent his summers working in
tho Minneapolis saw mills, and his
winters in the woods. At the age Of
20 he married, making his hone at
Spencer Brook. At "a he was in bust
ness for himself, cutting timber on con-.
tract and delivering it at the Mime
apolis mills. At26 he and his brother
moved to Minneapolis and commenced
the lumber business on their own 40
count under the firm name Of Clough
Brothers. From that day to this the
firm has been one Of the most prosper
Gus and reliable in its line known in

In accordance with his natural tastes,

Fergus Falls, and at once PURCHASED
property there. erecting thereon To
home to which the winter following 10
moved his family. Here he has since
lived.
In 1885 his friend, Mr.. Clapp, was
elected attorney general of tho state and
rendered Mr.. Childs the position Of
assistant. He accepted the place, and
hasremained connected with the Office
ever since. Since his association with
General Clapp he has devoted his entire
time to the duties of tho Office, and has
absolutely declined all retainers that
could in any manner prevent him from
giving all his talent and energy to the
service of the commonwealth, wherein
its interests were involved.
During the past six years MI. Childs
has given practically his whole time to
the service of the state, and has assisted
the attorney general in every important
case in which the interests of the state
were involved. He was the leading
counsel in the Holden murder trial and
in that capacity presented tho states
case to the United States supreme court,
the decision being in his favor.
He represented the state in the causes
celebre, growing out of the suspension
of Treasurer Peterson, of Hennepin
county, gaining complete victories Ill
along the line.
In the oil cases and also before tho
commission appointed to investigate tho
wheat and elevator cases he was tho
leading attorney in caring for the states
interests, and was abundantly success
full in both instances.
Mr.. Child's ability az lawyer has
been thoroughly tested before all the
courts Of the country, from the highest
to the lowest. Few lawyers have been
moreuniformly successful. His nomin-
alton by his party to succeed General
Clapp was deserved tribute to his
ability as lawyer, no less than to his
character as man. The history of his
past services to the state is sufficient
guarantee that the interests of Minnesota
will not be allowed to suffer in his hands,
