A WORD FOR LEONARD A. Roslre

said of his private secretary when
governor of Minnesota:
"Nlr. Rosing is Il gentleman of
broad, progressive and liberal ideas,
but The is at the same time cautious
and conservative. He realizes that all
substantial reforms must he builded
step by stap-by evolution and not by
revolution. He is honest ard cour-
ageous, and possesses the will power
and determination to carry out his
convictions of right and of public
duty. To whatever there may have
been in my administration that was
commendable Mr.. Resting contributed
by his wise counsel, his zeal and his
cordial cooperation"
Nobody knows Mr.. Rosing's qualiti-
cations for chief executive of this COM
monwealtll better than does Ex-Gov-
el'nor Lind. ALI who know Mr.. Ros-
ing will endorse Mr.. Lima estimate
of him. In his opening speech of THE
campaign in this city Mr. Rosing won
the respect and admiration o. all who
heard him. His utterances We're calm,
conservative and statesmlnlike. He
stands for economy in government and
for the equality Of all men before the
law. He is resolved, if elected, to dis
charge his duties faithfully and fear
lessly and to redeem Minnesota from
the corrupt rings and combinations
that have afflicted the people for many
years.
1t is the bounden duty of every cit
izen of the state to vote for clean
and conscientious man like Leonard
A. Rosing. Any voter who from party
aftillation refuses to support him be-
cause Of his democracy is making IL
huge mistake. Nlle time has come in
the history Of the state and nation
when the people must throw off the
shaclles of party and unite against
privileged interests to which they pay
tribute by means of legalized rob-
berry.
\ change is necessary and it be-
hooves all citizens, irrespective of pol
itics, to use the ball). for tile best adj
vantage to themselves and ignore the
fallacious appeals of unprincipled par
ty managers WHO have bamb@ozled
them fen years in the interest of mo-
nopolies. Now is the time for them to
assert their independence ard elect Il
man of the people for governor of this
great state.
Leonard A. Rosing is everything
tllat Mr.. Lind described him to be, and
more. He is successful business
nan. careful in investigation, prompt
in decision, cool in temperament. IL
is not in the tolls Of any man or COR
poration. He is mo mans man AMI
wears no MANS liar" He will make
an impartial governor ard administer
the laws without fear or favor.
Mr.. Rosing is the re. re: en;itive Of
Minnesota democracy and is entitled
to the vote of every man who believes
in government of the people, by the
people, and for the pcop'e." He is
entitled to tie undivided
support of the party whose standard
bearer he is in this campaign, and the
Irish Standard carls upon all its read
ers throughout Minnesota t, give him
their hearty support. He deserves it,
both as citizen and as candidate.
He is an honest man, Il man of prin-
'ciple and integrity, aud possesses all
the qualifications for good governor
i'm a preeminent degree. What more
can be said of him?
OF his opponent the grotesque Van
SAINT, we shall say but little. With
all dis fuss and feathers, the Winona
navigator has done nothing since his
Inauguration to merit a reelection
He called an extra session of the legis-
Ature to pass a new tax code, but
AioSAiiAis' was stSSoihluiSlltu Dey oiil ulle
passage of a dog bill. He made a
great noise about THE merger" but
nothing has come of it up to date.
Because of his spectacular perform
ance he poses as the friend of the peo-
pie and the foe of grasping corpora
tions and laughs in his sleeve at his
woodworking of the citizens of the
state. But they are onto his antics.
II Governor Van SAINT is in earnest
in his fight against the merging Of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
citic, why does 1e not call upon his
attorney general to enforce the law
against the consolidation of the Du-
luth, Missabe & Northern Railway
companies as requested by the state
senate during the extra session of last
winter? That is Il merger within the
state, and vet Sam an SAINT has not
grappletl with it. Perhaps lie is afraid
of the steel trust which owns mineral
lands valued at $5sO.OOO,OOO in north
ern Minnesota and which are taxed
on a valuation of not more than 3d.
100000.
The fight of Governor Van SAINT Oh
corporations is ~ mockery. Il delu-
sion and a snare" He las been tried
and found wanting. Turn him out
