that a sufficient number of men
can find room in the daytime to

LEE IS Il CANDIDATE
Says He Is Willing to Tal:e the Governor.

Says He Is Witin0 to Take the Gover,,or-

St. Paul, Feb. 29-A special
to the Dispatch frem St. Cloud
says: W. E. Lee, this morning,
in reply to a direct question
whether or not he would be a
candidate for governor this year
made an official announcement
that he would. He said he was
in the field and would remain I'm.
TIL the nomination is made. Mr..
Lee stated that when he resigned
She superintendency of the re-.
formatory he did so with the
full intention of going to Long
Prairie and assuming the presl
dency of his bank, recently
changed to a national institu.
ton. Since resigning, numer-
Gus friends throughout the state
hove urged him to become a can
didate for governor, but he had
not seriously considered the mat
ter till now, as he did rot want
to go chasing raidbows till a de
mana had been proven.
The demand had now been
proven. He said expressions
had come to him from all parts
of the state and have not beer
confined to any locality or any
locality Or any certain parts O
the state. The demand, coming
as it did, from prominent mel
ali oTer the state, was of such ;
character that he could hard1,
ignore it, and it was this wide
spread insistence that compelled
him to consent. In making tn
run, Mr.. Lee is not prompted b,
fractional fights of any kind. HI
announced today that he woui<
not be q candidate for the St
Louis convention.

TRYING TO RIDE THREE.

Judge Richards publicly an
nounces that he is not a Demo-
crat or Populist, nor a Repub-
lican, nor a Silverbug, nor a
Popocrat; yet he is swinging
around the circle in company with
a leading Popocrat, making
speeches from the same platform
and advocating substantially the
same doctrine. He claims, we
believe, to be a volunteer in the
battle for free coinage, untram-
meled by party ties and indepen-
dent of all political organizations.
That may be highly patriotic
stand to take, but it is fraught
with danger. 1t is suspected
that the Judge has senatorial as
pirations and that is hope is that
none of the parties will be strong
enough in the Legislature to elect
their man; and then they will
turn to some man who embraces
the doctrines of all and still is
independent of any. That man,
of course, will be Judge Rich
ards. Things may happen that
way, but the chances are three
to one that instead of all the par
ties uniting on the Judge, they
will all combine against him. It's
hard thing to ride three horses
all going in opposite directions,
and the man who essays to do it,
does not generally inspire much
public confidence.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1896-10-28
THE TIME IS COMING.

This, the most exciting, pic
turesque and variegated campaign
known in the history of the coun-
try is near its end, and in a few
days the result will be known.
AT the present moment both par
ties would appear to be confident
of success, but there are many
things going to show that the
chances for victory are largely in
favor of McKinley's election.
But whatever the result, it be-
hooves all patriotic citizens to ac-
cept it gracefully and, fogetting
the acerbities of the campaign,
render loyalty to the government
elect, The foundation principle
in our government is that the ma
jority shall rule, to which the
minority, right or wrong, should
peaceably submit. The glory of
the American people is their rec
ognition of this principle and the
cheerfulness with which they give
to it their acquiescence. The
most unpleasant features of holly
contested political campaigns are
the personal animosities engen-
dered. With all our boosted lib
erty of speech and freedom of
thought, men hate each other for
differently from them
selves. This ought not to be
and if it were not, a political
campaign would be a most pow !

is onward and upward. His
motto is Excelsior, - and as
the generations come the tenden-
cies will all be towards attaining
higher levels. The time is COM
ing when men will discuss pOlit-
ical issues in the same spirit that
astronomy and geology are now
discussed. Policies will be based
on accurate scientific principles
deduced from the facts of exper-
fence. The bitter contentious Of
the present will be unknown to
that future day, and men will
differ and differ, but love and re-

differ. But it is so different now

their highest prerogative, under
the Constitution, lest they arouse
the ill-will and enmity of their
dearest friends. But the world
is growing better and broader
and not many years shall come
and go before the American citi-
zen may talk politics without
raising up against him host of
enemies.
