/ Perhaps not candidate of this cam
paign in Minnesota is making a more
quiet and at the same time more effective
campaign than is Robert C. Saunders,
nominee for attorney general on the Dem
oeratic ticket. Mr.. Saunders is not forced
to the extremity to which many cam
paigners are obliged to go in order to
make their canvass successful one. He
pursaeS the "even tenor of his way with
apparently little or no disturbance at
tracing little attention with loud demon
stratiens and bowling speeches. His is
the quiet sort of a campaign, which the
Democrats are, as a rule. following in
this state, and daily there are new evil
dences to show that this plan is work.

Mr.. Saunders, who resides in Pine City,
is a man very strong in the community
in which he lives and everywhere else
where he is known His friends are
numbered by his aequaintanees, all of
whom look upon him as conservative
irreproaehable man, and an able and fear
less lawyer
Wherever Mr.. Saunders makes a
speech of any kind he never wants for

that the voters Of the state will look on
Nov 6, when they come to cast their

and 1t is well stored with knowledge of
his profession. He is in every way emf
nently qualified to hold the position to
which he aspires.
