Despite the efforts of the Republican
state central committee to disown. the
sound money meeting at which Jesse
Gregg made his break Monday night. /.
seems determined to fasten itself upon
the committee. 1t now turns out that
the call was printed by Whitaker &
Richardson, and not only did not bear
the union label. but was ordered by
Capt. 1. L. Mahan, himself a Republican
office holder, connected with the state
central committee.
The call was signed by A. B. Driscoll,

The Union Advocate which In 1898 sup
ported Eustis, says: Eustis was defeated
and Lind elected. The progress of public
affairs in this state since then has prov
en- that John Lind was entitled to re-
ce1Ve the support of the adherents of
labor. His entire career as executive of
the state has revealed in him an hon.
orable, courageous, and upright advocate
of popular rights
The administration of Gov. Lind is the
best that this state has ever enjoyed.
That gentleman has proven himself to be
one of the ablest administrators in the
entire country, a statesman of rank and
an able and fearless advocate of most
of the principles of government, the as
eendancy of which in actual administra-
ton are essential to the ultimate success
of the aims and purposes of organized
labor.
The Twin City Guardian says: The
state board of equalization summoned
before 1t the representatives Of the great
lumber firms and big mine owners for
the purpose of reviewing their individual
assessments of the corporations, SO as
to make them bear their just and proper
share of the burdens of taxation. This
action of the board is directly in line
with the established policy of the pres
ent state administration, which does
! not propose to let the bulk of taxation
fall upon the small homes of the labor
ing classes, while the great corporations
go untaxed, as they have largely done
under the favoritism of previous admin
istrations. 1t is certainly time to put
stop to this wholesale evasion of tax
alton and thus remove the excessive
burdens from the small homes and in
dustrieS of the people at large The
work of Gov. Lind has inaugurated in
this line concerns everybody, the people
appreciate it and viii see to 1t that it is
carried through to a finish.
Don't forget, reader that two and
four years ago the calamity cry was
worked to the utmost in this state
against John Lind, says the Bureau
Monitor. 1t was predicted by the oppo-
sitten that capital would be Withdrawn
from the state and the credit Of the
whole northwest would be ruined in case
Of Linds election. Well, Lind was elect
ed, and has anything of the kind re-
suited? Quite the contrary. Minnesota
has been given the best state admins
tration that 1t has had since the days
of Gov. Pillsbury. This fact is reeog-
nized everywhere throughout the Union,
and instead of the credit and reputation
of the state being damaged, Eastern peo-
pie are more than anxious to secure in
yestments here. What the people should
do now is to re-elect Gov. Lind, and
give him better chance to continue
the good work by electing the balance
of the state ticket with him.
Among the few men who have for the
past few years presented themselves for
/ popular support on advanced principles
of public conduct, says the Union Advo-
cate Gov. Lind is essentially that one
| who has shown complete mastery of the
! conditions necessary to realization If the
| strong current toward public control by
capitalistic combinations is to be effect
/ ually stemmed. HE has proven his SIN
| eerity. He is almost universally accept
! ed by the people of the state as an execu-
| tive official who, will enforce the prin-
/ cipleS of governmental conduct which
have been put forward in the past mere
] ly in an academic way by both parties.
but which all now recognize as neees-
! sary to popular control In the affairs
/ of the state
The Union Advocate will give Its best
| support to Cow Lind and the other
i candidates on the ticket of which he Is
the head. It will rdo SO with all the
more qualification and zeal because o.
| the appearance ON the ticket as caIdi-
! date for secretary OF state OF that loyal
| and uncompromiSing exponent OF the
| principles of union labor, Mr.. M. L.
| Neary. 1t is only by the union of the
| forces of organized labor that Mr..
Neary's election can be accomplished;
and the Union Advocate does accordingly
urge upon its readers and friends the
sound policy frefn their own particular
standpoint. as well as from the stand
point of the welfare OF the state. that
