carried on through Mr.. Elkins at the

$50 600 and two for S25. 600 each. and
handed them to Mr.. Huntington in eX-

The death Of c. P Huntington is a
great loss to the Republican party, for
he was perhaps the largest regular in
dividual contributor to its campaign
fund. He was always good for $4,000
on off years." and $4,000 on presi-
dental years, and expected to be called
upon for an additional subscription
when the committee ran short, as it
usually does just before the election
The Republican managers always de-
pended upon him when they were in a
tight place. He called at Mr.. Hanna S
headquarters the day before he went
to the AdirOndacks, presumably TO pay
his respects and tender his customary
contribution, and in the course of the
conversation expressed a fear lest the
Republicans might lose the election
through OVer-cOnfidence.
No one here knows how much money
Mr.. Huntington spent in California pol
tiles, but it must have been a large
sum, for his railway interests were the
continual object of attack and it was
necessary for him to have the good will
of both parties so far as possible. On
several occasions he controlled the Cal
ifornia legislature, which was an ex-
pensive luxury.

JOHN LIND.

To be elected governor of the state of
Minnesota at any time is not small
honor; to be the first man elected to the
place in opposition to the Republican
party organization is even more sig.
nal victory; to be chosen above and be.
.yond partisan lines by the discriminate
ing Judgment Of his fellow citizens, at
a 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
20, 1854. The family emigrated to
America in 1867 when John was 13
years of age, and settled in Goodhue
county, Mimi. Here young John, la
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, ill-titted 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
and at 16 he was granted certificate
emitting him to teach in the public

He secured tho payment Of many Of
these for the people of the Second dis
trict who had suffered during that upris-
ing. One of the greatest economies which
he secured to the people Of the state,
however, was the passage of the bill
for the reorganization of the federal
courts of the district of Minnesota.
Previous to its passage all sessions
of the United States courts in this
state had been held at St. Paul, entail.
ing long sittings, delays in trials and
long journeys, increasing the cost to
litigants living remote from the capital.
Mr.. Lind's bill provided for terms as
now held at Minneapolis, Mankato,
Winona and Fergus Falls, as we'll as in
St. Paul. Mr.. Lind was a 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
for the millers in the smaller centers of
the state, rates more fair when com.
pared with the millers of Minneapolis,
who had been granted certain special
privileges. MIR. Lind was instrumental

ROBERT c. SAUNDERS.

Robert 9. Saunders, the Democratio-
Peoples Party candidate for attor-
ney general, was born in Camp
bell county, Va, Dec. "a, 1864. He
studied law at the University of
Virginia, that great institution of
learning founded by Thomas jefferson
In 1889 he was graduated from that uni.
versity with the degree of Bachelor Of
Laws. In the spring of 1890 he came
to St. Paul and took position with the
West Publishing company as law edi.
tor, which he held until March, 1891.
when he resigned and removed to
Hinckley, Pine county, Minn., and
commenced the active practice of law.
At the election of 1892 he was elected
county attorney of Pine county. In
1887 the state legislature had passed a
law claws 1887, Oh. 1881 providing for
the taxation of any interest in exempt

railway companies. The St. Paul and

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 q
change in existing systems, and by a
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 blowing 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.

in securing a great reform in railroad
management and equipment, which is
saving human life and limb hourly.
That is, the automatic coupler and
power brake bill, so called, which was
passed, and directed all railroads to
provide their cars with automatic COUP
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 a hard contest the lobby
was beaten and Mr.. Lind's bill became q
law. Another bill of commercial value
to the Northwest made Minneapolis a
port of entry. Mr.. Lind was a con.
ceded authority in the house on the
lands, Of so much Importance to the
West. In the contest over the tariff
Mr.. Lind was 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 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 compliment:
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. a regent
of the University of Minnesota. Mr..
Lind was ON early recruit to the 6nan.
cial policy espoused by Senator Teller
and other Silver Republicans. In 1896

mated him for governor and he made a
splendid run, David M. Clough defeat.

P. M. RENGDAL,

P. M. Ringdal, Democratic Peoples
Party candidate for railroad and
warehouse commissioners with four
years term of Office, was born in Good.
hue county, Minn.. in 1861. He at
tended the public schools of his native
county, and St. Olaf's academy at
Northfield, 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, MINI. 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 ac-
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 tho Peoples and Demo-
cratic parties foe congress from the
Seventh district, but was defeated. In
January, 1899. he was appointed mem
Der OF the railroad and warehouse com.
mission for three years term of of
flee. 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 tho 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
the railroad and warehouse commits
sion, and it is largely due to his energy
and efficiency that the commission has
been able to accomplish such excellent
results in the interests of the people Of
Minnesota.

S. NJ. Owen, the Democratic Peoples
Party candidate for railroad and

people of Minnesota that an extended
notice Of his life, his sentiments, his
sympathles and his work is not neces-
sary here. Two campaigns as candi-
date for governor of the state, and one
for congress in his district, all of which
were close and exciting, failed to reveal
anything in his life, his record or his
character that in the remotest degree
reflected upon him unfavorably, or evil
denced his unfitness in any respect for
the high positions for which he stood.
His life has been devoted to an impair

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. It was his desire, after
the defeat gof 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 q 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. epitom:zed, 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
ind's energies have not been spent
alone in politics and public affairs. He
has had a lucrative practice at the bar
and had not sacrificed it in the public
service. New Ulm is the center of
thriving farming community, prettily
situated in the picturesque valley Of the
Minnesota, and is such town as might
we'll be selected for the home of man
of Governor Llnd's character-earnes
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.
