Samson lacked self-control. which is

Every one is likely to be betrayed into

most s~trikingly. Every life that loses its

Whether in nature or in character, power
not under control becomes a source of dam

the danger. God pity the man who thinks
character is not worth building UP. Mind
Is more than muscle. Force conquered and

and the men who have worked for
him will vote for him. His regard
as his loyalty to his employees and the

made failure an impossibility. His
strict business integrity down to the
smallest matter, either financial or
personal, has won for him the warm

fortune be swept away tomorrow
Michael Quigley's credit would re-
main intact He could start over
again with fair field.
Mr.. Quigley enjoys a unique politi-
cal reputation. He is a Democrat;
the lifelong variety and he is as loyal
sonal or business associates. He has
never before sought public Office, but
he has always given unstintedly of
his time and money for the advance
ment OF the party and no Personal
sacrifice has been too great for him,
when the interests of a Democratic
candidate were at stake. His bust
ness as railroad contractor has called
him away from st. Paul during the
months in which the elections are
held. but he has never let business
stand in the way of recording his vote

years of work for other candidates

Sheriff Phillip G. Justus seeks the
Republican denomination after one
term of Office. Mr.. Justus and his
supporters claim that nomination to a
second term will be only proper recog-
milton of services properly performed,
an economic administration and in ac-
cord with party precedent.
Mr.. Justus is native of st. Paul.
He was born in the Fourth ward in
1865, and his life has been spent in the
city of his birth. Mr.. Justus was the
son of parents who believed in fitting
young men to meet the battles of life
under adverse conditions. He re-
ceiVed the education of the public
schools and a commercial college
course, and was then indentured to
timer. He had completed his ap-
premiership; worked as journeyman
timer and was ready to embark in
business for himself at the age of
twenty.
Before he attained his majority he
started the hardware business on Rice
street which he soon built up to a
f1ourishing enterprise and which he
still conducts. His business career is
that of successful man and marked
by strong native conservatism and
untiring attention to detail Aside
from the conduct of his personal bust
ness ventures Mr.. Justus has cared
for his fathers estate and operated
extensively in ST. Paul real estate.
Mr.. Justus took the liveliest interest
in politics when a boy and has been
active in party work since he was
twenty-one years of age. He has al
ways been a Republican, but until two
