MINNESOTA xOLlT1CS x
The Ortonville Herald Star pays "a well-
deserved compliment in the following: a
las a vigorous and effective organizer,
Chairman James A. Martin oftthe republi--
can state central committee is more than
meeting the expectations Of the party
leaders. Mr.. Martin is a comparatively
new man in state politics, but he has a
wide acquaintance good executive abil
ity and a faculty of enthusing and inter-
.esting all with whom he comes in con-
tact" ......ss. s..E . t.
/ Mr.. Martin has displayed this faculty
during the past week, at conferences with
committeeman from four congressional
districts. Under his management these
gatherings have been very productive OF
results, and every committeeman has
gone home full of fight for the state
ticket ~ - -. ~
Hard to Get Out the Vote.
In the seventh district, more perhaps than
any other section Of the state, the diff
Guilty of republican committeeman will be
to bring out the vote. There are very few
county fights to awaken local interest, and
there is a general feeling that it is all
over with the primary election, and there
Is no need to go to the polls In Redwood
county there is no opposition ticket, and
Medicine, Grant, Pope and several other
counties of the district. The congressional
| campaign is one sided. Practically all
there is to work for is the state ticket,
| and while sentiment is overwhelming for
Van SAINT, it will not count for him unless
the voters turn out. This the commit
teemen will work for with their best ef-
forts.
A strong argument which will be used to
get the voters out is the constitutional
amendments. They will be urged to make
! sure the passage Of the gross earnings
| bill, the tax amendments, and the other
two This will be brought to them in the
light Of a duty, and it is hoped will ap-
| peal strongly to great many.
Enthusiasm in the Ninth.
The Crookston Times, Gnd.), is giving
the republican state ticket hearty sup
port and voices sentiment of the ex-
IRENE northwest as follows:
There is every indication that the peo-
pie of the state intend to go to the polls
Nov 4, and by an overwhelming vote for
| Governor Van SAINT express their hostility
to the merger and their approval of the
course adopted, by the governor. Every
where that Van SAINT appears he is
greeted by enthusiastic crowds, and every
allusion to his course in the matter of
the merger aWakens the most lively popu-
lar demonstrations. Even the mention Of
the governors name at any political meet
ing is met with storms of applause. .,
'There can be no mistaking the mean
ing of this. Governor Van SAINT and the
entire republican ticket will receive a
tremendous vote, while the Indifference
Of the populists and democrats will re-
suit I'M these parties receiving a smaller
vote than for many years.
August Schroeder, who is running for
the legislature in Jackson county On the
democratic ticket, is credited by the Win
| dom Citizen with the following candid
| statement
| There is this much about Van SAINT; Ibe-
| LIVE in giving him credit for what he has
done. If@he had been a governor of one
| of our political faith, we would have hur-
rahed in good shape over his attitude on
the railroad merger, and denounced the
governor who would not have taken like
| stand.
This speaks we'll for Mr.. Schroeder
| fairness, and is also an indication of the
way Governor Van SAINT is regarded by
thousands Of the opposite party. While
! democrats running for congress are prais-
ing President Roosevelt, democrats run
ming for the legislature are saying good
things for Governor Van SAINT.
