A good many Of the big papers
now treat the Parker nomination as
so highly probable that ''it is all
over but the shouting" 1t is ads
mitted that the enthusiasm and
noise engendered will not split the
weikin. Nevertheless it must be
sdmitted that the Hon. D. B. Hill
appears to have graduated from the
school OF peanut politics, and to
have been in this Parker episode
playing the real game.

fail to see what effect Mr.. Johnson's
election would have upon it. one way
or the other. 1t will be quite time to
cross the Nelson bridge two years
from now. Senator Nelson has always
shown himself fairly able to take care
of his own interests. If the people of
Minnesota want him to go back to the
senate, they will say SO at that time.
If they want any other Republican or
if they want a Democrat they will say
so. As for anything that this election
has to do with Senator Nelson's place,
it would be just as foolish to demand.
the election of Dunn in order that
President Roosevelt may obtain a NOM
ination and reelection in 1908.
Assuming that our contemporary has
furnished the best reasons within its
gift for the election of Dunn, we can
not fancy that they will have any per-
suasive power upon those who are out
to defeat him. We canpot find that
they ought to have. One great virtue
of the article in question is its testi-
monial to the worth of Mr.. Johnson,
and another is it's indirect assurance to
the Republicans who have determined
to vote for him that they are making
no mistake.

This aggregate embraces 120,785 en-

commission is the only one of all the
departments or independent offices
which employs male employees exclu-

The largest proportion of female em-

Jobbing and wholesale trade in fall and

opened meet with a fairly satisfactory
reception, considering the recent indis-

retail trade in heavy goods. but as that
movement had begun much earlier

better than last year. Building opera

The OTHER SIDE

1t is always interesting to know how
the other fellow looks at some question
which you have been revolving in your
own mind. 1t is especially interesting
to the curious, the seeker after novel
ties and the solver of absurdities to
know by what mental twist any man
persuades himself that he ought to vote
for r. c. Dunn instead of John A.
Johnson. An esteemed contemporary
Republican ticket, although with such
singular judgment that many Repub-
licans have questioned it, furnishes it's
readers with an explanation that is
better than any Of the puzzle pictures
we have seen.
1t is hardly ingenious, to put it mild
ly, to say that mo one has ever yet
been able to give a solitary reason why
any Republican should not vote for
Dunn" The Republicans are furnish
ing those reasons frankly by the bushel.
Our contemporary can go right out
here in st. Paul and get interviews
with any number of prominent Repub-
licans giving it the reasons that it has
not been able to discover for itself.
Perhaps the fact that it did not print
the report of Examiner Johnson on
i,,ier Al
office is one reason why it remains in
pleasant ignorance. A good many peo-
pie found that the reason for not vot-
ing for Dunn. A good many people
think his record with regard to timber
lands and mineral lands could not be
made attractive by any amount of
furnishing, and good many have
found reasons that he has furnished
them himself since the beginning of the
campaign.
The crack of the whip is not an eff
fective campaign argument. Our con-
temporary makes remarks to the effect
that if Dunn is defeated a campaign of
vengeance will be inaugurated, and
those who cannot bring themselves to
support him will be punished. This may
be effective with half a score of politi-
clans ambitious for future office, but it
counts for absolutely nothing with the
rank and file. They are going to act
for coincidence calxa fo, xrbat tl,ax- 1,a
heve to be for the good of the party,
and do not care a fig for threats; be-
cause they want nothing for the future,
while they know that their votes will
always be welcome.
In part of its political horoscope in
the event of Johnson's election we think
our contemporary exceedingly happy.
1t says that If Johnson is elected now
he will almost certainly be re- elected
In 1906" and we thank it for the pre-
2 6iction, which we shall endeavor to re-
member for use two years hence. Per-
haps no higher tribute to Mr. johnson
and no juster honor has been paid than
this assertion by a leading Dunn paper.
that if Mr.. Johnson is made governor
his personal and official record is such
that he is sure to succeed himself after
two years trial. That is a certificate of
character indeed when given by The en-
envy, and none the less effective be-
cause unconsciously rendered. The rest
OF the prediction is pure balderdash.
