1t is doubtful If Minnesota has, or
ever did have, more popular official
than julius II. Block the present state
treasurer, now filing his second term in
that position. Mr. Block has been
prominent in public life for some TWEEN
ty odd years, and he has vast &C
quaintance over the state.
A native of Ohio, Mr.. Block was
born March 80, 1860. He came to Min
nesota with his parents in 1870, and
has since resided in the state. He first
lived near LIE Sueur, MINI. afterwards

has since been his home.

opera ton of insane hospitals originated
with him.
In 1900 he was elected state treasurer
and again in 1902, having no opposition
for the nomination either year. His
administration of this important office

ton, even outside the state and there
is small doubt but that he will again
be renominated by his party. as he was
two years ago, by reclamation. there
being at present no opposition to him..

Minnesota may well be proud of the
high grade of excellence maintained
In her schools, the fame of which is
known the country over, and the su-

The present occupant of the position,

In the person of A. N. Dare, state ex-
pert printer, Minnesota has man
qualified by years of experience for the
position he holds. and one who knows
every detail of the business from start
to finish.
Mr. Dare is native of New York
state, where he was born in 1850 His
early education was received in the
public schools and at the academy of
his home town.
In 1857 he came West with his par
ents. who settled for a time in Water

Minneapolis. Here young Dare first

adventure, he decided to attempt
trip round the world, and to that end
went East and shipped before the mast
as a. sailor. His voyage around the
world occupied him some three years,
during which time he visited many
lands and seas" Returning to the
United States in 1874, he went for a
visit to Elk River, Mimi, where his
parents resided, and at their solicita-

1t would be difficult to find more
popular man or public official than
Robert A. Smith, the present Demo-
cratic mayor of the city.
Mayor Smith, who has occupied the
chief administrative chair for some
thing over dozen years. and who has
been but just reelected for another
two-year term, combines in his per-
sonality much to attract the love and
respect of his fellow men, and his rec
ord as an official of the city has been
above reproach. His private life has been
an exemplary one, and he has today
in all probability more stanch friends,
both in his own party and in the Re-
publican ranks, than any man who
ever filled the position Of mayor in st.
Paul. He has done much for st. Paul.
His appointments have been dictated
by wise regard for the cityS welfare,
and his diScernment in selecting "the
right man for the right place" has sell
dom if ever been at fault Certain it
is that the city's administration under
his regime has been such as to attract
much favorable comment from abroad
as well as at home. His conduct of
the city's affairs has been economic,
clean and progressive, and that his
HlolnOQS are approved was SHOWN TWO
years ago. when against a most bitter
fight in his own party, as well as from
his traditional foes, the Republicans,
he won out with a substantial majority.
The public attestation of approval rem
dered in the election this spring is too
recent to demand repetition, and the
citizens of st. Paul may rest assured
that for the next two years his rule
will be as just and wise as it has been
in the past. More could hardly be
asked %
Mayor Smith was born in Boonville,
Ind. in 1927. He was educated in the
schools of his native state and gradu-.
ated from the law department of the
University of Indiana in 1850.
In 1853 he was appointed private
secretary to his brother in-law, w. A.
German, then territorial governor of
Minnesota. He came to st. Paul, and
has since resided here.
He, was elected county treasurer Of
Ramsey county in 1858, and was re-
elected four times, making his term of
service in the position ten years.
His first appearance as mayor was in
1887, when he was appointed by the
common council to fill the unexpired
term of Mayor Rice, who resigned
upon his election to congress. He was
elected to the position in 1888, and was
reelected iIfaSS0, 1894, 1900, 1902, 1904.
