TWO DEMOCRATS.
Politics of Two of the New Judges in
the Territory.

C. A. Galbraith, the new first associ-
ate justice of the Supreme Court, is a
life long Democrat. He served four
years by appointment of President Gle
veland as attorney general of Okla
homa. When a prominent Honolulu
citizen was in Washington a short time
ago President Mckinley stated that he
desired one of the judges of the Sup
RENE Court should be a Democrat, as
he did not wish it to appear to be a
political court. The President knew
Galbraith's politics and abilities when
the appointment was made.
w. S. Edings' name was presented by
prominent local man and was endors-
ed by several leaders in Congress.
The names of Mr.. Galbraith and Mr..
Edings did not appear in the list of
names submitted by President Dole to
Washington.

he secured to the people Of the state,

Mr.. Lind's bill provided for terms as
now held at Minneapolis, Mankato,
Winona and Fergus Falls, as well as in
st. Paul. Mr.. Lind was strenuous
fighter for the integrity and enforce
ment Of the interstate commerce act in
its efforts to prevent determinations
in favor of persons or places. He had
added to it amendments which made it
possible for the commission to procure
evidence more efficiently, and also made
several battles in the courts to secure

the state, rates more fair when COM

JOHN LIND.

To be elected governor of the state of
Minnesota at any time is not a small
honor; to be the first man elected to the
place in opposition to the Republican
party organization is even a more sig
nal victory. to be chosen above and be-.
yond partisan lines by the discriminate
ing judgment Of his fellow citizens, at
time when all the other nominees of
the opposing party, save the guberna-
torial, were elected by more or less
handsome majorities, is a distinction
such as has been accorded to few men
in any state. 1t was under such cir
Cumstances that John Lind was inau-
gurated governor of Minnesota in Jan
uary, 1899.
Governor Lind was born at Kama,
province of Smaland, Sweden, March
25, 1854. The family emigrated to
America in 1867 when John was l3
years Of age. and settled in Goodhde
county, Mimi. Here young John, Ia
boring to assist in the support Of the
family, lost his left hand by an accident
which. perhaps, turned the current of
his career, as now, ll-fitted to compete
with his fellows in the material world,
he was urged to more assiduity in the
pursuit of his studies He spent as
much of his time at school as possible

That is, the automatic coupler and

lers of uniform type, and to have at
least certain number of cars of each
train equipped with air or other power
brakes, so as to obviate the use of hand
brakes, which are very dangerous in
icy or sleety weather. This bill was
opposed by strong and insistent lobby,
led by the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, but after hard contest the lobby
was beaten and Mr.. Lind's bill became a
law. Another bill of commercial value
to the Northwest made Minneapolis
port of entry. Mr.. Lind was con-
ceded authority in the house on the
subjects concerned with the public
lands, of so much Importance to the
West. In the contest over the tariff
Mr.. Lind was a hard fighter, and
showed his independence by declining
to be bound by the declarations of the
Republican caucus. He fought the
tariff on lumber because, as he said, it
committed the nation to the idiocy of
destroying it's own forests rather than
those of other people. He fought for
free sugar, for free materials for max
ing binding twine and for free twine.
In 1890 Mr.. Lind was elected a third
time, defeating General James H.
Baker of Garden City. In 1892 he de-.
clined to become a candidate again,
for personal reasons, and the present
congressman, James T. McCleary, was
elected to succeed Mr.. Lind The plat
form adopted at Mankato accorded the
retiring congressman this compliments:
1--WE recognize in Hon. John Lind,
our present member of congress, an
able and efficient representative, and
trust that his voluntary retirement
from the field of active legislative duty
will be only temporary
In 1898 Governor Nelson appointed
Mr.. Lind, who had returned to the
practice of law at New Ulm, regent
of the University of Minnesota Mr.
Lind was an early recruit to the fnan-
cial policy espoused by Senator Teller
and other Silver Republicans. In 1896

mated him for governor and he made a

with other standards the efficiency of
Mr.. Lind's arduous labors in keeping
the men well equipped and provisioned.
It was while the Twelfth regiment was
encamped at Camp Thomas, Chicka-
mauga National park, that the Demo-
cratic, Peoples and Silver Republican
parties, in state convention, unan-
imously nominated Mr.. Lind for
governor. 1t was his desire, after
the defeat of 1896, not to again
enter the field Of politics, but so unan-
imous was the call, and so insistent
were the friends who had supported
him so warmly in previous campaigns,
that Mr.. Lind at last put aside his de-
sire for political retirement and con.
sented to make the race, subject to the
necessary limitations Of his military
service. With the surrender of Santi-
ago and the subsequent return Of the
Minnesota troops from the South, Mr..
Lind was enabled to make two short
series Of speeches in few of the cities
and towns of the state. There has
rarely been such a series of popular
demonstrations of personal admiration
and sympathy These tours, brief as
they were, were splendid auguries of
the magnificent vote which the men Of
Minnesota gave him on election day.
This is the public and political ca
reer, epitomized, Of the man who has
fought his way, despite rebuffs and
temporary reverses, to attain success at
last and full realization of the fact
that "he cannot appreciate victory who
has not suffered defeat" Governor
Lind's energies have not been spent
alone in politics and public affairs. He
has had lucrative practice at the bar
and had not sacrificed it in the public
service. New Ulm is the center of a
thriving farming community, prettily
situated in the picturesque valley of the
Minnesota, and is such town as might
well be selected for the home of man
of Governor Llnd's character-earnest,
faithful and unaffected. Governor
Lind has been identified with some of
the best institutions of New Ulm. He
has served as director in the Brown
County bank, and was one of the com.
mittee of five New Ulm men who had
charge of the construction of the Min
neapolis, New Ulm and Southwestern
railroad and other enterprises that have
materially benefited his home town.

subjects, and that study has specially
qualified him for the important Office
for which he is now candidate.
While his sympathies are with the
mass of the people, he never desired to
see them benefited at the cost of ir-
justice to any class of citizens nor to
any interest. He believes that the
whole people can be benefited by
change in existing systems, and by
fearless and faithful execution of laws,
without being unjust to the benefciar-
les Of the wrongs that he would like to
to see modified if they cannot be de-
stroyed. All readers of his journal,
Farm, Stock and Home, and they are
found in every neighborhood in the
state, know how intensely interested
Mr.. Owen is in the development of
agricul tural interests, and they know
that he believes and teaches that farm
ers ought to be talked to of things other
than plowing and sowing, reaping and
moving, and that transportation, mar

ernment, taxation, etc., have quite as
much to do with farm prosperity as
systems Of cultivation or good crops.

schools. He taught one year in Sibley
county, but not being satisfied with the
compensation in a new country at that
time, he, in 1878, took up his residence
in New Ulm, where he has since re.
sided, respected and honored among
men. By the dint Of hard study, in
dustry and strict economy, he was able
to attend the State university in 1875
and 1876, having in mind then the
practice of law. Utilizing all his op-
portunities for private study and priv
ileged as he was to work in the office of
a New Ulm practitioner, he was ad.
mitted to the bar Immediately upon
leaving the university at the age of II.
In 1877 he began the practice of law
and, taking an active interest in public
life, was chosen superintendent of
schools Of Brown county. This position
he held for two years, declining a re-
nomination in order that he might de-
vote himself entirely to the profession
upon the adoption of which he had now
fully determined, namely, the law
In 1881, under the administration of
Garfield and Arthur, he was made re-
ceiver of the land Office at Tracy, Lyon
county, which position he held until
the election of Grover Cleveland, still
being able, however, to care for his
private practice at New Ulm. Mr..
Lind's natural talent and diligence
made him a name more than local, and
his prosecution of several suits, notably
those against railroad companies, won
him not little renown. He was active
in the councils Of the Republican party,
and in 1886 he was nominated to repre-
sent the Second district in congress-
The Second district then comprised
20 counties-practically all of South.
western Minnesota. That was a hard
fought campaign, but Mr.. Lind was
elected by splendid plurality. Two
years later he was renominated and
again elected, his adversary this time
being Colonel Morton S. Wilkinson, a
veteran leader, who had been one of
Minnesota S three representatives in the
house from 1869 to 1871, and United
States senator during the war. He
took an active interest in the affairs of
the Indians and secured the passage of
bill establishing seven Indian schools
in various parts of the country, one of
them being located at Pipestone, in this
state. Another sphere of work of local
Importance was the pushing of some
old claims for the depredations of the
Indians during the outbreak of 1862.

business has been largely farming and
mercantile.
Mr.. Meighen has been active in the
work of the Farmers Alliance of this
state since it's inception and was vice
president of the State Farmers AL
lance for several years.
While Mr.. Meighen's antecedents
were Republican, he has been con-
nected with the Peoples party since it's
organization and was a delegate to the
national convention at Cincinnati
which gave birth to the Peoples party
in 1891.
Mr.. Meighen was chairman of the
Peoples party state committee when
the party was first organized in this
state in 1891, which position he held
for three years. He was member of
the national committee in 1896 and is
now the head of the Peoples party na-
tional committee of this state, having
been selected for that position at the
national convention at Sioux Falls last
May.
Although an active worker in all re-

In 1887 he removed to Minneapolis,

P. N. RINGDAL.

P. M. Ringdal, Peoples
Party candidate for railroad and
warehouse commissioner with four
years tern of Office, was born in Good
hue county, Mimi, in 1861. He at
tended the public schools of his native
county, and st. Olaf's academy at
Northfeld, MINI. In 1880 he entered
the railroad service as telegraph opera
tor, continued in the service in various
capacities until 1890, when he engaged
in the manufacture and sale of marble
and granite at Crookston, Mimi, in
which business he is still engaged at
the present time.
In politics Mr.. Ringdal was an indie.
pendent up to 1890, when he joined the
Alliance movement, and has been &C.
tive in the work of the Peoples Party
ever since it organized. The strength
of his party in his part Of the state is
due in large measure to his energetic
and efficient work
In 1894 Mr.. Ringdal was elected to
the state senate. In 1898 he was the
candidate of the Peoples and Demo-
cratic parties for congress from the
Seventh district, but was defeated. In
January, 1899, he was appointed men,
Der of the railroad and warehouse com.
mission for three years term of of
fee. The commission having been
made elective by the last legislature,
his term was incidentally reduced to
two years, in order to make possible
the election of the whole commission,
two members for four years, and one
member for two years. In recognition
of his effective work in behalf of the
people of the state while serving on the
railroad commission, Mr.. Ringdal was
nominated by the Democratic and Peo-
pies parties for one Of the four-year
terms to succeed himself. Mr.. Ring
dal is at the present time chairman Of

Duluth Railroad company had sold the
pine timber on it's land grants to 1ari-
Gus lumber companies and persons, re-
serving the land. The timber, though
sold, had never been taxed, while stand
ing on the exempt lands, and it was
for the purpose of reaching this
standing timber that the 1887
law was enacted. However, the state
and county officials had never even at
tempted to enforce the provisions of
the act. In Pine county the taxes had
been duly levied by the proper officials,
the various companies interest ed had
filed answers, and there the whole pro-
ceeding had stopped and lain dead for
four years when Mr.. Saunders assumed
Office. He Immediately brought the
cases to trial, prevailed in the district
court and also in the supreme court to
which the cases were appealed. The
result was the collection of about $l2,.
900 of back taxes from the lumber COM
panies and the enforcement of taxes
against standing pine on exempt land
grants ever since. After the decision
of the supreme court the officials in the
other counties in the northern part of
the state took the matter up and en-.
forced the collection of the taxes in
their several counties. The net result
was the collection of thousands of dol
lars of taxes from standing pine on ex-
empt railway lands under an act of the
legislature which no one but Mr..
Saunders attempted to enforce, and
which had been ignored and neglected
by all of the county attorneys in the
counties interested, and by two attor-
neys general until he went into office.
In 1894 Mr.. Saun ders lost everythin g
he had in the great Hinckley fire of
Sept. 1 Of that year and had to start
life again. Undiscouraged he reopened
his law Office at Hinckley in January,
1895, and practiced there till 1899,
when, having been again elected county
attorney at the 1898 ele ction, he re-
moved with his family to Pine City,
the county seat, where he now resides.
In 1886 the town of Hinckley bonded
itself for $l2,OCO in aid of the Kettle
River railroad, short line Of five miles
from the Duluth road to Sandstone.
The road was built but soon abandoned
by the company, and was finally alb
sorbed by the Eastern railway of Min.
nesota, which tore up the track and
utterly dismantled the road The town
employed Mr.. Saunders to obtain re-
dress and in 1894 he instituted itiga-
tion which finally resulted in 1900 in
