QUESTIONABLE Campaign
METHODS.

QUESTIONABLE CAMPAIGN
METHODS.
The methods adopted by some of
the gubernatorial candidates in con-
Quoting their pre-convention cam
paign amounts almost to an insult
to the republican voters of the
state. They act on the hypothesis
that the voters are simple-minded,
vacillating, shilly-shallying lot of
individuals, who do not know
enough to look after their own in
terests and who are so everlastingly
gullible that if some friendly "man-
ager" does not take them by the
ear and lead them into the right
voting stall and put the proper
ticket into their hands, they, the
voters will commit some irretrie-
vale blunder, and calamity indie
scribe will fall on our fair state.
So from the headquarters" of
one candidate are scattered pamph-
lets, as thlckly as autumn leaves
are scattered by the blast after the
first hoar frost of fall, and these
pamphlets tell the people that GER
tain candidate is the greatest man
the country has ever produced, that
when he was created the moulds
were broken and he can never be
duplicated, that in an official capac-
ity he has saved the state more
money than Bismark wrung from
France. That he is the only gen.
uine article of Minnesota statesman
ship with the trademark blown in
the bottle. That the United States
Senators, Governors and members
of congress are only imitation
statesmen. 1t is cleverly insinu-
ated in these pamphlets that if this
marvel of accomplishment, paragon
of honesty, and incomprehensible
combination of business and states
manship is Gle cted governor, every
old soldier will be given lucrative
Job, the Board of Control will con-
troll everything they ought to con-
troll and nothing else, and the cor
porations will pay all the taxes.
From the ''headquarters' of an.
other candidate come letters, fol-
lowed by still other letters inform
ing the voters that it is necessary
for this candidate to be elected,
that if any one else is chosen, COR
porate greed, like gigantic devil-fsh
will clutch the public in its Shiny
tentacles and that the free-born citi-
zen with small possession is sure to
disappear in the capacious man of
the octupus.
And the voter bewildered by the
stupendous abilities of these men,
which were never discovered until
they became candidates, and then
were discovered and proclaimed by
themselves is liable to come to the
conclusion that all these bombastic
claims are ''hot-air" and will make
his own selection.
The Herald believes that the
republican voters of Minnesota are
capable of making their own selec-
ton of candidates without instruc-
tions. The H "a Id believes that
republicans do not need to be ''man-
aged" The Herald believes
that the money, time and labor ex-
pended in the interests of this can
didate or that is wasted. The
Hera Id further believes that
when any men or set of men try to
instruct or dictate the republican
voters of this state as to their
choice of candidates they insult the
intelligence of Minnesota citizens.

Mr.. Eustis' candidacy is now out of
the question. Whatever chance
there may have been for him has
been dissipated by reason of his
long vacation.
The bill authorizing the con-
struction of another bridge over the
Mississippi river, to connect Sher-
burne and Wright counties, passed
the senate on Wednesday.
The clerks of senators and con-
gressmen have been busily engaged
for some time in sending flower and
garden seeds to their appreciatlve
constituents. Some day the Gus
tom will be abolished, as the senti-
ment against this sort of paternalism
is gradually growing
Senator German thinks that he
has discovered an Issue at last. He
is championing civil service reform.
Just think of it, German and civil
service reform! Judging by his
past experiences in issue hunting,
the latest fad of the democratic
leader will die a natural death
within two weeks.
Congressman Davis, by request,
on March twenty-third, introduced
the petition of the Redwing Hat
Manufacturing company, praying
for a reduction of the tax on alco-
hol. Numerous manufacturing in
dustries have sent like petitions to
other members of congress.
1t is safe to predict that no action
with regard to the Smoot ease will
be taken at this session of congress.
In this connection one cannot help
but note that while the Mormon
elders, bishops, etc., convicted
themselves as polygamists, not the
slightest evidence to the detriment
of Senator Smoot has thus far been
adduced. AS the case stands today,
if the senate were to expel Mr..
Smoot, it would be solely on &C.
count of his religion, and it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether the ma
jority Of that body will establish a
precedent SO dangerous.

Governor Van SAINTS course and
