ernor, and defeated DIR. Al. A. A1nes, of
Minneapolis, by less than 1900 voz1s
at the election. He was retired after
one term, and has since represented
his district in the lower house and in

William Rush Merriam was finan-
cler before he was a politician, and as
matter Of fact lit was his money

twice governor of Minnesota. 1t was
one of his relatives who, when asked to
recommend a certain politician to
Gov. Merriam replied BILLY is under
no obligations to any one for his adj
vancement in politics, as he bought and
paid for all that he received"
Gov. Merriam was born at Wadham
Mills. N. Y, July 6, 1849 He came to
st. Paul in 1861, and commenced his
financial career as clerk in the First
National bank of this city. When only
tWenty-four years of age he was elect
ed cashier of the Merchants National
bank. In 1882 he was elected to the
state legislature as representative, and
served two terms, in 1886 being chosen
speaker of the house. In 1888 he was
elected governor, defeating Eugene M.
Wilson, one of the most prominent
Democrats of the state. He was re-
elected again in 1890. In March, 1899,
he was appointed director of the CEN
sus by President Mckinley, and is now
holding the same position under Pres
fdent Roosevelt. Mr.. Merriam is rec

Senator knute Nelson.
Knute Nelson, who succeeded Gov.
has occupied a prominent place in the
politics of the state and country, was
born at Voss, Norway, Feb. 2, 1843 At
the age of eighteen he was attending
the Albion academy in Wisconsin, and
when the Civil war broke out he Shout
dered a musket in the Fourth Wiscon=-
sin infantry and served four years as
private and on-commiSsioned officer.
At the close of the war he returned to
the academy at Albion and complied
his course. He read law in the office
of Senator Villas at Madison, and in
1857 was admitted to the bar. He
served in the Wisconsin legislature in
186S-69, and the following year came
to Minnesota, locating at Alexandria,
Douglas county. He was elected coun-
ty attorney of the county in 1872, and
from 1876 to 1878 represented the
Thirty ninth legislative district in the
lower house. In 1882 he was elected
congressman from the Fifth district
by $500 majority, and in 1884 was re-
elected by 10000 majority. In 1886 he
was again reelected, receiving almost
the unanimous vote of the district. He
declined a denomination two years
later, and in 1892 was elected governor.
In 1894 he was reelected, polling a
plurality of $4,000 votes. His second
term as governor had just commenced
when he was elected United States
senator. His first term in the senate
brought him prominently before the
country, and in 1901 he was again sent
to the senate without opposition.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-24

Davi M. Clough being lieutenant
governor when Nelson was elected to
the senate, became governor of the
state. Clough was born at Lyme, N.
H., in 1916. He came to Minnesota in
1857, and engaged in the lumber bust
ness. He was elected state senator in
1885, and lieutenant governor in 1892,
being reelected to the same office in
1894. After serving out the unexpired
term Of Gov. Nelson, he was again
elected in 1896. He is now engaged in
the lumber business at Everett, Wash.
The Best of All.
John Lind, who succeeded Clough as
governor, was born in Sweden in 1855,
and came to Minnesota in 1868. For
years he was in the front rank Of Re-
publican politicians in the state and
represented the Second district in con-
gress in the Fiftieth, Fifty-first and
Fifty-second congress. He became dis
satisfied with the policy of the party
he long had been connected with, and
in 1886 was a candidate on the Demo-
crat-People'S ticket for governor. He
was defeated by Clough by a plurality
of $500 votes. In 1898 he was again
candidate for the office and was elect
ed, defeating William H Eustis. Be
ing a candidate for reelection in 1900,
he was defeated by Gov. Van SAINT, the
present incumbent by a plurality Of
1900 votes. 1t was generally expected
that Lind would be a candidate for
governor this year, but he declined to
accept the nomination. He is now en-
gagged in the practice of law at Mime
apolis, and has filed his papers as the
Democratic candidate for congress in
the Fifth district, subject to the de-
cision Of the voters at the primary
election to be held next month.

and place hunters. In the course of
conversation recently Gov. Ramsey, in
speaking of this state of affairs, ex-
pressed the opinion that the city had
held it's reputation along this line par
ticularly we'll to date The territorial
governor read his first message to the
twenty-seven members of the legisla-
ture in the dining room Of a hotel. In
1853, the Democrats coming into power
in national politics, Gov. Ramsey was
succeeded by Willis A. German. In
1855 the ex-governor of the territory
was elected mayor of st. Paul, and in
1857 was a candidate for governor of
the newly organized state. He was
defeated by Henry H. Sibley, after an
exciting campaign, but two years later
was elected to the Office. When Fort
Sumter was fired on in 1861 Gov.
Ramsey was in Washington and waited
on President Lincoln and made the first
offer of 1000 men to defend the Union.
During his second term, in 1868, Gov.
Ramsey was elected to the United
States senate, and served two terms in
that body. President Hays appointed
him secretary of war in December,
1879, and he held that position until
March, 1881, when he retired. Since
then he has lived in St. Paul, resting on
his laurels.
Lucius F. Hubbard.
The next in line of the living ex-
governors is Lucius F. Hubbard, who
was born at Troy, N. Y, jan 26, 1885,
In 1857 Gov. Hubbard came to Mime
sofa and located at Red Wing. His
first business venture was in the news
paper line. He started the Red Wing
Republican, and in 1858 was elected

Minnesota has had eighteen gov
ernors, including three who served as
chief executive when it was a territory
and the other fifteen since it was duly
organized as a state of the Union.
OF this number all but eight have
passed over the earthly divide to the
great beyond, where even the Good
Book in it's brief description fails to
hint that there is any such thing as a
political office.
The eight live ones among the
governors of Minnesota have not only
served the state we'll and faithfully,
attained a fairly comfortable compe
tency.
Ramsey the First.
Alexander Ramsey, the first terrific
rial governor and the second chief ex-
ecutive of the state after it was or
ganiZed, stands foremost among the
eight. This, of course, is excepting
the present incumbent of the office.
Alexander Ramsey was born at
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 8, 1915. In 1899
he was admitted to the bar Of that
made his mark in the profession had he
not taken to politics. A year after
adopting the legal profession he took
to the huStings, and assisted in carry
rim his native state for Harrison and
Tyler, the Wing candidates for presi-
dent and vice president. He served in
the Twenty eighth congress, and was
reelected again in 1S48. He might
have retained his seat in congress, but
declined to stand for a third term. In
March, 1849, he was appointed terri
torial governor of Minnesota, and on
arriving in the then frontier town of
st. Paul found this section of the ter

the war broke out, and was elected
captain of the company at the close of
the war, being brevet brigadier gen
eral. In 1865 he returned to Red Wing
and engaged in the milling business.
He interested himself in railroad enter
pr1ses, and was foremost in develop
Ing several railroad lines in the section
OF the state in which he lived In
1872 he was elected to the state SEN
ate, and in 1881 was elected governor of
the state, receiving a majority of 28,-
O0e votes, the largest majority received
by any chief executive of the state up
to that time. He was reelected for a
second term. Since his retirement
from the governors Office he has been
interested in financial enterprises of
various kinds, which unfortunately did
not turn out particularly well. He now
resides in Red Wing.
A. r. M'GiII.
Andrew Ryan McGill succeeded Gov.
Hubbard as chief executive of the state,
and enjoys the distinction of being
one of the zone term" governors. He
was born at Saegertown, Pa, Feb. 10,
1870, and in 1859 started out on his
career, which has resulted so auspic-
iously. He first went to Kentucky
but in 1851 came to Minnesota. He
located at st. Peter and taught school
in that village. In 1852 he enlisted in
the army as member of Company D.
Ninth Minnesota volunteers, but was
discharged for disability year later
Returning to st. Peter he purchased the
