that great disappointment is
evidenced by the supposed lucky
ones who drew numbers. They
say that but a few hundred
claims are worth filing on and
that probably not over 1000 in

without filing, while others who

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1904-12-14

The Northwestern Newspaper
Union has got into politics and the
newspaper publishers of Minnesota
who happen to be on the list of that
concern for ready prints were last
week obliged to receive patents
containing a half-column write-up
for city newspaper man who is a
candidate for a legislative job. THE
GAZETTE can hardly believe that
Minnesota publishers are going to
pleasantly submit to the outrage of
allowing this concern to dictate
their editorial policy. Dobson has
done great deal of dirty work in
fixing up the insides of country
weeklies, but this is his limit.

time he is entitled to that treatment
prescribed by the laws of the state.
GOOD APPOINTMENTS.

The announcement of a string oil
proposed appointments by Gov
elect Johnson confirms the state
ments of many of his friends made
prior to the election that he would
do everything in his power to give
the state men and services that
would make his administration
creditable.
Frank A. Day. the veteran Fair
mont newspaper man, was an
nounced for private secretary long
ago. L. A. Rosing of Kenyon was
announced for member of the
board of control, and within the
past week bunch of good men for
good appointments have been an
nounced. The selection of Hon.
Thomas D. O'Brien of ST. Paul as
insurance commissioner is one that
will meet with universal approval.
Mr.. O'Brien is a lawyer of marked
ability and unqualified honesty and
Gov. Johnson can rest assured that
when the appointive age is past no
governor will have made better
selection.
Following closely upon the heels
of that announcement came a bunch
Of three-John w. Olson and O. G.
Schulz, Republicans, re-appointed
superintendent and assistant super
intendent of public instruction and
Edwin K. Slater as head of the
dairy and food department. The
first two take the educational de-
partment out OF politics and retain
two exceptionally strong educa-
tional men at posts they have hon.
ored during the past four years.
Mr.. Slater is young dairy expert
and will give that department an
accurate and creditable administra-
ton. The governor could not have
named better man and one that
will please more of the people than
Mr.. Slater.
Cleve W. VanDyke is named as
executive clerk and he will join
with Frank Day in doing good work
in the outer chamber of the gov
ernor's Office, and in jollying the
5hrongs awaiting to see Gov. John
son.
