William Henry Eustis is beginning to
find out that it costs money for a man
to run for governor on the Republican
ticket in Minnesota. His original bluff
about making the campaign on 81, 500
and carrying the rest of the ticket
along with him has long since been
exploded. He has learned already that
it is going to take thousands of dollars
for him to make any showing at all,
and this does not include the assess
ment of $1,000 which the state central
committee called upon him to place TO
its credit Everywhere that William
Henry thought that he could make it a
flyer he has found that 1t later called
for a plunge. He began by ordering
a few thousand campaign buttons from
New Jersey, turning down Minnesota
The few thousand were lost and he
went for more. Two hundred thousand
Eustis buttons have been manufacture
ed in New Jersey and Vermont for the
man who will not patrOniZe home in
dustries. That was an item Of cost,
and the money isn't a matter of as
much Importance as is the fact that
he went out Of the state to do business
that might have been given to home
firm. Then came the matter of litho-
graphs. William Henry was called
upon to make another plunge. Just
how many thousand Of these he had
to buy is a matter Of conjecture, but
there were enough of them to make a
carpet for a whole county.
Another thing Of the same sort is
that magnificent Eustis banner thrown
to the breeze yesterday in Minneapolis.
The point is the large amount of money
going into such displays, Of benefit to
the head of the ticket only-in other
words the glorification Of Eustis at the
expense of his associates on the ticket
This particular banner bears the words,
Republican Headquarters" surmount-
ing a large head Of the smiling Guar

beautiful blue field, with gold sur

would have ordered in his palmy days,

date for Governor" But, as to the
Headquarters, the banner hangs at
one end, not from any official head
quarters but from the bed room win

ing There has been some rasping
comment over this otherwise trivial
matter.
Snaalxipp abOut the assessment Of
the candidates, the committee hasn't
got that $12 200 yet. William Henry
has sent in his $500, and the candi-
dates for judges have also sent in their
$3G0 each, but there are others, and
some of them have not responded and
do not intend to do so until there is a
revision of the figures They are not
yet through kicking about Judge
Steele's figuring, and they are not try
ing to economic on breath when they
talk about it.
The Shepherd Photo company, of ST.
Paul, is taking a hand in the cam
paign and is sending out large num-
bers of postal cards marked Edition
No. l." On one corner appears the
note See that the button you wear
has the union label in It," The card
reads:
Dear Sir: AS voter of the state Of Min

Wright county opens the campaign
all along the line on Oct 8, when oc-
ours the conventions for the county
nominations. On that occasion it is de-
termined to have the state standard
bearer, John Lind, present, at a rally
of the combined forces in Buffalo, and
Mr.. Lind and the state committees
have been applied to for that purpose.
and Wright will not take no for an
answer. Mr.. Lind has never spoken in
Buffalo, and it is proposed to have the
greatest rally that has ever been held
in Wright on that occasion.
