tue of his election as governor, will
again become a member of the board
of regents.
Mr.. Lind was an early recruit to the
financial policy espoused by Senator
Teller and other silver Republicans,
and in 1896 his former associates read
him out of their party because of his
pronounced views on that line. The
Democratic and Peoples party nom
mated him for governor, and he made
a splendid run, Gov. David M. Clough
defeating him only by a small mar
gin of about 5000 votes. Mr. Lind ran
well ahead of his ticket then, as he did
in the contest of last Tuesday.
Corporate interests on the iron range
were arrayed against his running mate
on the Sixth district congressional
ticket, Charles A. Towne, and took oc-
casion to vote thousands of votes for
the Republican ticket. In Minneapolis,
however, Mr.. Lind polled nearly as
manysyotes as Mckinley, and he would
no doubt have been elected then had
it not been for

written by a correspondent at Mr..
Lind's home, New Ulm, in which 1t

In the contests over the tariff was a
hard fighter, declining to be bound by
the declarations of the Republican
caucus He fought the tariff on lum-
Der, because, as he said, it committed
the nation to the idiocy Of destroying
its own forests rather than those OF
other people. He fought, too, for free
sugar, for free materials for making
binding Irvine and for free Irvine. He
succeeded in getting free sugar, free
importations of the materials for taS
manufacture of the binding twine and
a reduction of the duty on binding
Irvine that effected a material saving
to the farmers of the country. In that
bill. too. the lumber tariff was fixed at
81 per thousand feet, although since
Mr.. Lind left the halls of congress 1t
has been increased to 81 per thousand
feet.
ELECTED A THIRD TIME.
In 1890 Mr.. Lind was elected third
time, defeating Gen. James H. Baker,
of Garden City. In 1892 he declined to
become a candidate again for personal
reasons. and the present congressman,
James It. McCleary, then professor Of
political economy in the state normal
school at Mankato, was nominated and
elected to succeed him. The platform
a6opted at Mankato accorded the re-
firing congressman this compliment:

governor was a mere child when the
family abandoned the fatherland for
the promised prosperity of the new
continent. They settled in Goodhue
county, this state, where young John.
laboring to assist in the support Of the
family, lost his left hand in an acct
dent, which, perhaps, turned the cur
rent OF his career, as now lily fitted
to compete with his fellows In the ma
terial world he was urged to more as
siduity in the pursuit of his studies.
Working days as he might, he spent
as much of his time in school as pos
sibie, and at sixteen he was rewarded
with certificate emitting him to
teach in the public schools. He taught
one year in Sibley county, but the
teachlng profession in that district at
tnat time was not lucrative, and, in
1913, john Lind, aged nineteen, took
up his residence in New Ulm, where
he has lived ever since, respected and
honord among men.
By dint of steady industry and strict
economy, he was able to attend the
state university in 1875 and 1876, hav-
ing in mind then the practice of law.
Utilizing all his opportunities for pri-
vate study, and privileged as he was
to work in the office of "a New Ulm

which position he held for two years,
declining a denomination in order that
he might devote himself entirely to the
profession upon the adoption of which
he had now fully determined, viz, the
law.
In 1881, under the administration Of
Garfield and Arthur, he was made re-

the advent of President Cleveland, still
