THE WEAKNESS OF DEsPoTlsM

The weakness of an absolutely des-
potic government, illustrated so many
times and in so many thousand ways,
is shown again by the easy escape Of
the assassin Of Won Plehve from his
Russian prison. This man was a high
prisoner of state. No offense short of
the murder of the car could be greater
than his, and no man could be more
carefully reserved for death. Yet he
walked out Of Jail with almost as much
ease as if the car had given an order
to that effect
The process by which this extraordi-
nary Jail delivery was effected was
brilliant in it's simplicity. party Of
men representing themselves as off,
GERS of high rank, with sergeant and
gendarmes all dressed to the part, APP
peared at the prison and presented a
note purporting to come from the min
official paper and ordered the immedi-
ate removal Of the prisoner to another
fortress. 1t was accepted in good faith,
and the assassin drove away with his
friends and is probably now beyond
reach of recovery. Any such skilifully
executed plan as this for his escape
implies combination sufficiently ex-
tensive and able to secure him against
further apprehension.
Now this escape was due primarily
to the mystery. silence and arbitrari-
ness surrounding al prosecutions and
punishnients for crime, especially when

John A. Johnson, of st. Peter, unani-
mously received the Democratic NOM
lnation at the convention yesterday
The Democrats acted wisely when they
selected Johnson to head their ticket
He is very popular with the Democrats
as well as with the Republicans There
are conditions this year which lead to
the belief that Mr.. Johnson will be
the next governor of Minnesota. There
are many Republicans who are bitterly
opposed to r. c.. Dunn, their party's
candidate. The sores created by the
pre- fight and the unsaating
of the Hennepin delegation, have not
been healed, while there are many Re-
publicans who have not changed that
Mr. Dunn does not possess the proper
qualifications for the governorship. Mr..
johnson starts out with the unanimous
support OF his own party, and in addi-
ton the votes of the thousands of Re-
publican and the independent voters
throughout the state make his cleo
ton probable.
Mr.. Johnson is a native born citizen
of Minnesota and he is an enthusiast
IN regard to the present standing and
bright future of the North Star state
Mr.. Johnson is a gifted orator and
writer. He has always been found on
the side of the people. whether on the
floor of the state senate or in the edi-
tofla1 chair. When he was in the SEN
ate he was a leader in every sense
OF the word. and his friends and ad-
mlrers were found ON both sides.

FaribauIt Pilot

The Democratic ticket nominated
tuesday last by the Democratic state
convention held in Minneapolis is a
particularly strong and clean one. Ev-
cry candidate named by the convention
is honest and well qualified to fulfill
the duties of the Office to which he
aspires
Hon. John A. Johnson, of st. Peter,
whom the convention enthusiastically
and unanimously nominated for gov
ernor is the talented and popular edi-
tor of the ST. Peter Herald. His NOM
nation came unsolicited by himself and
Impoverished by corruptionists with
money contributed by pine timber
thieves and railroad corporations. He
did not have to pay the railroad fare,
the board and bar bills, and for the
time of the delegates who supported
him While they were attending the con-
Vention. He comes before the people
with clean hands and an unbought
nomination. F. G. Winston. the NOM
lnee for lieutenant governor is one of
the conservative and prosperous bust
ness men Of Minneapolis. He is well
known throughout the state and will
add much strength to the ticket
One of the wiseSt and most popular
movements OF the convention was the
nomination of a non-partisan Judiciary.
Justice John A. Lovely, Republican
member OF the supreme court, was de-
MED denomination by the Dunn faction,
which controlled the late Republican
convention, because he would not be-
smirch their ermine by supporting the
man from Princeton. The Democrats
have risen above partisanry in the Sc
lection of their candidates for the
bench and every voter who desires to
keep the judiciary out of the mire of
politics should support for judges
Lovely, Brown, Lind and Otis.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER s 1904

connected with political affairs in Rus
STA. Men are immured on a word. Sc
cret orders are likely to come at any
instant from those high in authority,
and must be obeyed under penalty Of
dismissal or death. No public official
having to do with political offenses has
any option or is expected to exercise
any discretion. The powers of state
move in mysterious way, give orders
that cannot be interpreted and demand
obedience to their lifted finger.
We have seen how easily such a
system lends itself to imposture. I'm
der no constitutional government could
such a rescue be effected. The gov
ernor of prison would not need to be
in the slightest haste to comply with a
requisition until he had satisfied him
self of it's genuineness. He would not
need to move in the dark nor in haste,
and the responsibility devolved upon
him would compel care. This is only
one other enforcement of the old lesson
which tyrants are so slow to learn
that the disadvantages and dangers of
absoiutism are infinitely greater to the
despot himself and to his whole system
than those of liberal or popular gov
eminent.

The Democratic state nominating
convention which was held at Mime
apoHs on Tuesday was the most har-
monious and enthusiastic ever held in
the history of the party in the state,
and strong ticket placed in the field,
which should receive the vote of every
Democrat in the state of Minnesota at
the polls on Nov. 8. No better or wiser
thing was ever done by the Democrats
OF this state than when they nominated
John A. Johnson. of st. Peter, for gov
ernor. He is man with good clean
record, we'll known and popular all over
this commonwealth, and has the honor
of being the first man to be nomina ted
for governor who was born and reared
in the state. The rest of the ticket is
equally strorg and should receive the
hearty support of every true Demo-

Perhano ENTERPRISE

The, Democrats of Minnesota have
never placed more popular ticket in
the field than was nominated in Mime
apoi1s last Tuesday. Headed by Hon.
John A. Johnson, native of Minnesota
and one of the brightest g, 1 brainiest
young men in the Northwest, the ticket
is composed of honest, reliable men
who are well qualified to fill the offices
for which they have been nominated.
The convention was a most har-
monious and enthusiastic gathering,
and the results of its labors are highly
gratifying to the Democracy of Mime
sofa. The ticket will merit the hearty
support of every Democrat in the state
and also that of thousands of indie
pendent voters who wish to see the
commonwealth Of Minnesota governed
and its laws enforced by a body of hon
est men. who are free from scandalous
alliances with the lumber barons and
railroad corporations of the state.
