business man of Ashby, Grant county.
who was in st. Paul yesterday.
I know what am talking about, the
optimistic reports being brought to the
st. Paul Dunn headquarters and being
published in the party organs to the
contrary Notwithstanding The disaf-
fectlon among Republicans is simply
intense in it's nature and cannot be
healed. The farmers of our country
are IN open revolt, and I found the
same conditions prevailing in the three
counties in the northwestern corner
or the state l confidently look to see
Johnson elected. though I am a Re-
publican and have been such for many
years.

ALL WANT JOHNSON
Democratic Candidate Has His
Work Mapped Out

Chairman Frank A. Day, of the DEM
ocratic state central committee, is re-
ceiving dozen or more requests daily
for speaking dates for John A. john
son, the candidate of the party for gov
ernor.
Popularity and the ability of Mr..
Johnson on the stump will combine to
make him for the next two months one
of the hardest worked men in Mime
sofa. Friends of the, candidate write
his chairman that they "know it will
be all right here if Johnson can but
come out and speak to our people"
Johnson Will go out, the chairman
promises, and one of the liveliest cam
paigns ever put forward by the Demo-
Gratis in this state is in sight.
Mr.. Johnson has entered on the
campaign with enthusiasm that is little
less than remarkable" Chairman Day
said yesterday. ssHe has offered to &C
anywhere that railroads or teams will
take him.. and he Will speak day and
night until the campaign closes. He
is eager for the fight and his commit

will work him hard.
1t will be poor mans campaign so
far as the Democrats are concerned.
and We will not be able to maintain
any expensive literary bureau or any
army of paid speakers. We will have
sere spsakers, but Mr.. Johnson will be
put forward and we count on him to
do more for his own success and that
OF his associates on the ticket thar
any one other influence that can be
brought to the assistance of the cause.
We want him to meet every man he
can meet, for he makes friends of ali

The effort of the Dunn Republican
campaign managers to fix a charge of
unfr1endliness to the state university
on John A. Johnson and draw atter-
tlon from their candidate, will not
succeed
A telegram from Mr.. Johnson, Dem
ocratic candidate for governor, was re-
eeived last night by The Globe,
places him in the position where
everybody who knows anything of the
facts of the passage of the original
board of control bill by the legislature
knows he belongs.
Opposed at the time to the passage
of the board of control bill, the crea-
ture of a Republican majority, and
representing an institutional town,
Mr.. Johnson was clearly within his
rights when in the parliamentary bat
tie he introduced an amendment which
he had every reason to expect would
result in the defeat of the original bill
Mr.. Johnson says further in his tele-
gram to T h e G 10 be asking for the
facts Of his connection with the Iegis-
lation and for his position respecting
the future of the state university:
81 do not believe that the present
law should be changed, for, while the
board of regents and those in charge
of the university have control of every
educational policy, the board of con-
troll has supervisory authority over it's
finances. and I believe it should"
Calls Attention From Dunn
The statement from Mr. Johnson is
called forth by a sensational effort on
the part of the Pioneer Press, the only
outspoken champion of r. G.. Dunn
among the daily newspapers of the
Twin Cities, to divert attention from
Mr.. Dunn on the charge, which is a
matter of record, that he has threat
ened if elected governor to force upon
the legislature a state board of edu-
cation to succeed the board of regents
of the university and the state nor
NAL board.
The publication by T he GIob and
other newspapers OF this threat has
resulted in the crystalliZation of SEN
timent against Dunn not only in Min
neapolis, where the university is To-
Gated, but in every town and hamlet
of the state where the sons of the
university are located and are men of
influence and standing.
The normal school towns, in a lesser
degree, are up in arms at the proposal
to wipe out their purely local board
and to place these schools, along with
the state university and possibly the
board of education. Naturally there
came denials and suggestions of un-
derground politics in giving publicity
to what had long been known by people
in close touch with the expressed in
tentions of the late state auditor.
But G.. A. Merey, of Winona, presi-
dent of the state normal board, said to
be slated for one of the $4,000 positions
ON the new state board OF education,
broke into print with a characteristic
defense of the proposed measure, and
this revived the-runor that Dunn had
not only promised to force his pet
scheme on the legislature should he
ever become governor of the state, but
that he had slated Mr.. Morey for one
of the places on the board. Mr.. Morey
was Gov Van SAINTS manager for

REPUBLICANS In
STEELE COUNTY SORE
Election of DR.. Cooley, Democrat. ia
the Legislature Seems Certain
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
OWATONNA, Mimi, Sept. 10. -
There are forty candidates to be voted
upon at the primary election in this
county. For the Republican nomina-
ton to the legislature there are two
candidates, the present incumbent, j.
R. Morley, and a former school super
intendent, F. c. Carleton. The issues
upon which they are making their
campaign is that of the board of con-
troll, Morley being opposed to the board.
The Democrats have only one candi-
date for the same position, DIR. e. w.
Cooley, and his election is almost uni
versally conceded, because of the bit
terness engendered by the contest OF
his opponents. Two years ago Cooley
was narrowly defeated.
For sheriff there are six Republican
aspirants and two Democrats. This is
the only Office for which there is
Democratic contest. Steele county was
one of the Collins strongholds and
there is a great deal of soreness still
apparent here, SO that many predict
that Johnson will carry the county by
at least 400 majority. Owing to
technicality the Prohibitionists were
prevented from getting their candi-
dates on the ballots in this county.

POLITICIANS FLEE
BEFORE DANGERS
Seekers for Pleasure Drive Away the
Men Who Desire to Secure Votes

-;
The Republicans in the far end of the
Second ward, Minnea polls, attempted
to hold political meeting last evening,
but they were turned down by beyy
of young women and their beaux, who
proposed. to have a dance in the same
hall. .-eae'
The young people had made arrange
ments to have party and the politi-
clans sought to have a meeting before
the fiddler started his music.
But there were candidates and can
didates and the hall at Bedford ave-
nue. and University was filed with
men who wanted to address their con-
StituentS
The young people came, they waited
in the ante-room for a reasonable Pc
riod-abeut 9:15 p. n1., and then en-
tered the hall and engaged in CONVEX
satien upon topics which did not inter-
est the politicians.
1t was not long before the seekers
of votes departed and the floor was
cleared of chairs and devoted to the
feet Of the dancers.

some years, but when the gubernato-
rial fight waXed warm between Dunn
and Collins he turned from Collins
chief supporter, Van SAINT, and EN-.
braced the Dunn faith. To meet the
rapidly growing opposition which the
state board of education idea brought
TO the surface Mr.. Dunn's astute man
ayers saw an opportunity to pass the
onuS OF the present board of control
law, with it's financial control of the
state university, to John A. Johnson
the Democratic candidate.
The statement of Mr. Johnson will
prove no surprise to the men who in
st1gated the charge against him, for
they knew perfectly well what prompt
ed his introduction of the university
control amendment to the original
board of control bill
Here was a bill, which as a rep
resentative of his home city. Mr. John
son was fighting with all the vigor at
his command. st. Peter was opposed
TO the bill in common with every other
institutional town in the state They
were opposing the bill which would
take from their local boards the con-
troll of institutions which from long
association with and earnest efforts to
secure appropriations for, they had
come to regard with more than a To-
cal pride.
standpoint and from the view of votes
against the proposed measure, Mr..
Johnson-one Of the real leaders of the
opposition to the bill-presented an
amendment which he had every reason
to believe would result in the defeat
of the whole contemplated legisla-
tfon. Insetad of that by a close vote
the senate accepted the amendment
and the amended board of control bill,
with the control of the state univer-
sity, the state soldiers home and the
state normal schools added, became a
law.
Mr.. Johnson makes no denial of his
legislative action. but he tells freely
and frankly the motives which inspir-
ed his action, and the whole fight is
still fresh in the memories of the men
who now so brazenly attempt to i'm
pute unfriendliness to the state uni
versity to the Democratic candidate
for governor.
