Mr.. johnson of California arose to a
question of privilege and denounced
what he believed to be a malicious
and slanderous statement printed in a
San Francisco paper, June 4, concern
ing his attitude toward what is known
as the California mineral bill. He made
a bitter personal attack on the pro-
prietor of the paper, Mr.. w. R.
Hearst.
Mr.. Mcguire Dem.) of California
protested against the personal as
sault on Mr.. Hearst. who. he said,
was at present in New York and

AUGUST It. KOERNER
Republican Candidate for State
Treasurer

Treasurer
August Koerner, Che Republican can
didate for state treasurer, was born in
Germany July 7, 1913, and emigrated
to this country When fourteen years
Of age. He lived with his sister in
Missouri until 1860, when he went to
Vernon, Ind, to learn the milling bust
hess. The war of the rebellion fired
the ardor Of the eighteen-year-old Ger
man lad, resulting in his enlistment in
the Sixth Indiana and re-enlisted in the
Twenty Indiana volunteer in
fantry. His service for the stars and
stripes covered a period of four years
and three months, during which he was
in seventeen battles, including the
siege Of Vicksburg, and received a
wound in the left arm from a minnie
ball at the battle of Prairie Grove.
After the close of the war he went
to Troy, ILL.,, and engaged in book
keeping. In 1865 he made a trip to
Minnesota, where he was married to
Miss Katie McGannon; in 1867 he
moved to Minnesota, and settled on a
farm IN Meeker county, but after los
ing three successive crops by hail and
grasshoppers he abandoned farming
and engaged in clerical work in Itch
field. In 1877 he was elected register
of deeds, a position which he occupied
for three successive terms, each time
by an Increased majority. In 1890 he
was appointed postmaster at Litchfeld,
Which position he resigned to accept
a seat in the 1893 legislature, to which
he was elected by a handsome plural
1ty, in one of the most determined polit-
ical contests ever known in the coun-
ty. He was Il member of the Repub-
lican state central committee for a
number Of years, from which lie re-
signed when he became candidate
for state treasurer. His faithful and
efficient service in these various posi-
lions, and his recognized Integrity and
ability resulted in the warm support
which made him the nominee for state
treasurer; in 1894, securing his election
by the largest vote, with one exception,
given any state officer.
Mr.. Koerner's administration of the
treasurers office during the past two
years has been such as to win the
hearty appreciation of all classes Of
business men, without distinction of
party. He has faithfully and iutelli-
gently served the best interests of the
state and people, with Partially to
none, allowing no personal friendships
or prejudices to swerve him from a
thorough administration of the states
finances upon the strictest business
principles. Though his first term of
office has included the financial strin-
gency that caused several banking in
situations to close their doors, the
states interests therein have been
managed with such ability as to in
sure it's treasury against loss, and all
investments have been made with the
ccution and prudence that can only
be achieved by close personal attention.
Mr.. KOerner was nominated by the

an academic education; graduated
from Ann Arbor law school in 1861
and admitted to the bar; was elected
county attorney of Freedom county in

state duties is that Of a farmer. He
served hve terms in the legislature Of

OF 1854. He was speaker of the house
or Representatives in 1877 and also in
1870: Jan. 10, 1887, be was appointed
, by Gov. A. R. McGill railroad and
warehouse commissioner, and was re-
appointed by Gov. Merriam. He is
married and his present residence is in
treeborn county. He was a prominent
member for speakership honors before
the last session of the legislature.
Like Gov. Clough, John L. Gibbs is =
self-made man; from boyhoCd working
his way on farm, earning money to
pay for an education, and ever since q
toiler with hands and brain. Mr.. Gibbs
IS q practical farmer, not of the DroliX

the plow and milks the COWS of his

Woodworking farmer boy. He paid
his way through the common schools
and SusQuehanna college, and gradu-

came West upon Greeley's famous adj

Illinois, where his money gave out,
and then, by force of circumstances, he
walked through Iowa and into Minnie
sofa as far as Albert Lea. There he
taught school for one year, and then
settled in Geneva, Freeborn county,
where he has been engaged in practi-
cal, every day farm labor to the pres
ent time, a period of thirty-four years.
Few men in the Northwest have done
more for the agricultural interests of
Minnesota than John L. Gibbs. He
has conducted his agricultural efforts
in a progressive and successful man.
ner. With the welfare of his farmer
friends at heart, he has ever been at
the front in giving them the benefit of
his own study. With voice and pen he
has done more for the farmers of Min
nesota than any other man in the state,
and his work in this line has been ell
tirely unselfsh, and solely to improve
the condition of his associate agricult-
wrists. Twice he has been put forward
by the farming interests as a guberna-
torial candidate, and as the coming
lieutenant governor and presiding Off
Ger of the senate, he will have rare
opportunity, that he will not be slow to
embrace, in the appointment of COM
mittees in the interests of public and
private agricultural welfare.
