New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-05-11
Lind's Enlistment.

Mortified News, Joel Heatwole's pa
per: In offering his services to the coun-
try in time of war, John Lind demon
strated beyond the shadow of doubt
that he is patriotic and unseltish Amer
lean. 1t is quite noticeable that OF all
the candidates mentioned for governor
by any party that Mr.. Lind is the first
to tender his services to his country.
Those papers who think that Lind will
not be candidate for governor do not
appreciate the situation. The republl-'
cans must not fail to take Mr.. Lind into
consideration in the planning of their
campaign. He will undoubtedly be the
candidate of the opposition forces, and
as man who voluntarily rendered his
services during time of war he will be
able to make very strong showing.
Pine City Poker, Republican: John
Lind will make better candidate for
governor of Minnesota by having re-
sponded to his country's call as a SOL
der. We always claimed for John
good share Of patriotism IN having led
the people IN his manly fight in the last
election. He has now shown the people
that he IS equal to the emergency, wheth-
er IN politics or war. Being an A. @.
NJ. won't do John bit of hurt as can
didate for governor.
LIE Sueur Sentinel: Our dear republi-
can friends, who are slapping each other
on the back in perfect ecstacy of JOY
over the fact that John Lind has volun-
teered, ought not to be too premature.
1t is yet six months to the political har-
vest and many things can happen. We
may have whipped Spain to stand still
long before that time, or oh horror)
Lieut.. Lind may resign his humble posi-
ton of quartermaster of regiment to
become the governor of state.
LeSueur News, Republican: John Lind
is a patriotic man and always has been
regardless of political views. If he is
DESTROYS of securing the nomination for
governor on any ticket this appointment
will not stop his friends from giving it
to him and the very fact that he is at
the front defending the flag will be a
strong argument with the voters. No.,
it was not political move. 1t was one
OF patriotism on the part Of Lind.
Albert Lea Standard, Populist: In this
convection it is assuring to see, and it
will crafty the reform hosts of the state,
that the leading populists, free silver
republicans and free silver democrats
insist that Mr.. Limbs going into the ar
my Will make 20 difference with his pro-
posed nomination as governor. 1t will,
on the other hand, settle it. Mr.. Lind
will he nominated by reclamation and
overwhelmingly elected, and will be
called back from the war next January,
If it is not sooner ended, to assume the
more exalted and important duties OF
chief magistrate of this great state.
st. Paul Review, Republican: OF
course opinions differ as to the motive
for the enlistment. The pledge in the
recent Democratic address recalls the
conceded fact that Lind may have the
nomination for governor from the re-
form forces for the asking. 1t awaits
his nod. Ridicule fails when directed
to show that this proffer of his services
is an easy way to make political capital
Patriots are made of sterper stuff. Anc
no amount of explanation, no ringing
eloquence, will convince the average
voter that IN this crisis and by this &C
John Lind has not proved his patriotism
Its clear effect is to solidify his follow
ers and endear his personality to his dis
co1dant party. 1t helps to hamme
down the coffin lid over the remains O
the New Deal.
Window Reporter, Republican Don
let anybody be deceived about the ina
bility of John Lind to become candi
date for governor because he is in tn
army. It is the strongest thing in hi
favor. His personal sacrifice to go t
war is great, but he is patriotic, coun
try-loving and loyal to her government
In going, crippled as he is, in the onl
capacity in which he can serve, he leave
large business which would make hi1
more money in a year than q thousan
years of warfare. He does not go be
cause he wants the nomination for gov
ernor, but because he loves the countr
and its flag and wants to do somethin
to maintain her glory. We have though
that his enlistment may have been MOI
