Fonrth-The factional quarrel between the
Republicans OF Hennepin county.
fffth-lt was probably the worst managed
campaign in the history of Republican poll
tics in the state
The fundamental mistake OF the guberna-
toriai campaign was that Mr.. Eustfs started
out with the idea thar he was so well known
and that his personal popularity was so
great that he could dispense with the ordinary
methods OF campaigning and that no campaign
furd was necessary. But It requires money 20
organize and pat into effective operation the
machinery OF great party-to employ speak
ers and canvassers. TO hire halls and d.sJrib-
ute campaign literature. So that Mr.. Eustis'
idea that ne could get along without money
was m.stake.-Ploneer Press.
The HermaPhroditic View OF It,
The Times attitude between the two candi-
dates for governor was that OF impartiaiity.
1t had favored the nomination OF both, be-
heving, as It frequently declared, that either
would make coed executive. and that the
people would make no mistake in the cleo
ton OF either. 1t had warmly espoused Mr.
kusus nomination. as means OF overthrow
ing the corrupt machine which had vindie-
lively fought him and had long been a
menace TO good government and decent poll
ties With that accomplished, 1t looked upon
its work in that direction as completed. Il
heartily approved the nomination OF Mr..
Lind by the fusion party. but refused to be
the special champion Of either candidate. II
II appeared to sympathiEe with Mr. Eusti5
more than with Mr.. Lind. il was because the
former was made the target for the vilest
personal attacks by his INSCRIPTIONS oppo-
nents
The only surprise In the outcome is Mr..
/ Lind's majority. II is accounted for by a
number OF causes. One is undoubtedly the
base treachery, with which Mr.. Eustis was
sold cut, traded of. and otherwise sacrificed
by the party machine and his own managers.
Everywhere throughout the state where 1t
was possible Tor the machine influence to
make itself felt, be was brutally slaughtered.
Clough's openly declared enmty to him is a
fair sample ofgthe better-eonceaied, but none
the less effective spirit OF yindictiye hostility
OF other party leaders. Clough had the ccur-
age of his cussedness; the others We're sneaks
and towards who. while pretending TO active
ly support Eustis, were all the time secretly
putting the aSsassn's knife under his fifth
rib. Between Clough and the others the
I formers course was the more manly and
( honorable. Mr.. Eustis and his friends were
aware OF the treacherous work that was go
ing on. but they were powerless to prevent IL.
That and the nationality racket accounts for
Mr.. Eustis defeat-Minneapoiis Hermaphro-
