FARMERS PREVENT
CHICKEN SHOOTING
Relations Between Sportsmen
and Husbandmen Around
ST. Peter Strained
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
ST. PETER, Minn., Sept. 2.-Hunt-
ers of this city are facing a peculiar
condition of affairs owing to trouble
with the farmers of Nicollet county,
and as result there is little OF prairie
chicken shooting in this vicinity for
those who are city bred. Practically
without exception. every farm and
shooting ground in the county is pla-
carded with big sign which an
nounoes that mo hunting on these
grounds is allowed under penalty of
arrest
The grievance between the farmers
and the sportsmen OF St. Peter had its
origin in the formation of a league in
this city a year ago for the protection
of game and fish. AS a result of the
organizing of this league close watch
was kept on offenders against the game
laws and many arrests were made. In
some instances Jail sentences were i'm
posed.
Through the instrumentality of some
of those affected, it is said, the farmers
were induced to form what they called
a protective league of their own. The
object Of their league was to close the
shooting grounds to hunters from st.
Fetef. Ine farmers are lnOrOuSn1y Or
ganized and mean business. One own
er of chicken ground" has ordered 200
of the mo hunting allowed" signs.
The result of this action of the farm
ers has been plainly apparent on the
faces of st. Peter sportsmen during
the last two days., since the opening
for prairie chickens began. 1t is ex-
pressing it mildly to say that hunting
in this vicinity isn't what it formerly
was And the worst of the difficulty
is, from the sportsmen's point of view.
no remedy for the conditions can be
discovered.

What the Editors Say

The rank and file of Minnesota Re
publicans are not saying great deal
at this time as to their attitude ON
The governor situation; but they are
doing wholesome lot of thinking. The
question is as to how they can best
serve the interests of the people and
of their party. 1t appears to be the
consensus of opinion that voting for
the head of the Republican state ticket
would mean an Endorsement of the 1In-
scrupulous and withal unsavory cam
paign methods resorted to prior to the
state convention by the Dunn support
~ers. All right thinking Republicans
feel that the best interests of the party
can only be conserved by administer
Ing rebuke to these unsavory meth

AN UNFORTUNATE RULING

We should not presume to consider
the legal aspect Of the question wheth-
er, in preparing the primary election
ballots, county auditors should be per-
mitted to leave the blank spaces in 4
which voters might write names of
the candidates of their choice Pre-
sumably, the attorney generals office
has the law on its side, or thinks that
it has, in declaring that only those
who have formally filed for Office can
be put in nomination. Nevertheless,
We do not for a moment believe that
that is either the intent of the law or
the desire of the people; and we hold
that a reversal of this opinion is high
ly essential to carrying out the reaI-
good government. S
The first and essential object of a
direct primary law is to secure from
the people formal expression of
their will in the choice of candidates
for Office. 1t was thought necessary
whether rightly or wrongly, to do this
through regular party channels.
Means were provided by which candi-
dates could present themselves to the
party, as was indispensable. Some
sort of organization must be recog-
nized, and something provided to bring
order out of chaos. Nevertheless, be-
hind it all, the primary requisite re-
mains Of committing to the people di-
rectly the realization of their wishes
through action at the primaries.
Now it may happen often that the
peoples will cannot be expressed if
this ruling is to be enforced. In many
different ways they may be unable
under it to vote for the actual candi-
dates of their choice. In the time yet
| to elapse before the primary election
| is to be held much may happen. Cam
| didates who have filed for nomination
under the promptings of their own am
| bition or through the manipulations
| d
| to be very unpopular. Circumstances
| connected with them may come to
| light which would render their selec-
| ton unhappy for the party and dis
astrous to the public. Other men not
| hitherto thought of practically as can
| didates may come to the front Pub
| lie opinion may crystallize and take an
entirely different turn. In word, the
primary election, if only those who file
very easily present exactly that choice
| of evils which the direct primary. sys-
| tenn was expressly created to avoid;
| It's object can be achieved only by this
very device of leaving blank spaces,
i SO that at the last moment every cleo
| tor may give his honest opinion as to
the most suitable candidates for office
| untrammeled by any formal action
/ heretofore taken.
To allow this liberty is privilege
| that goes with the encouragement Of
independent voting. 1t is requisite to
! the prevention of bad nominations in
many cases. 1t can scarcely do other
| than conduce to the selection of the
| best men. 1t leaves a free and open
field Most of all, it is thoroughly in
harmony with the spirit of the direct
| primary system. We believe that
| blank spaces on the ballot ought to be
| provided, and are strongly of the
| opinion that il the question could be
presented sauarely to the courts they
| would SO decide.

READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN

Not for many year have the prep
arations for Democratic state cam
paign in Minnesota been got under
way with SO brilliant a promise of
hear it wherever politics form a topic
of conversation. 1t is in the air and
foremost in the thought of almost
every man you meet. At this early
stage of the proceedings Republicans
are alarmed, sullen and each man
ready vigorously to cast upon the
other responsibility for the lamentable
state of affairs acknowledged to exist
within the party. From every quar-
ter, from every county in the state,
most of all from strongholds hitherto
Republican, comes perfect hailstorm
of assurances of support for John A.
Johnson the popular candidate Of
Democracy.
The reception that Mr.. Johnson re-
ceived from his friends and neighbors
day night indicates the reception that
the people of Minnesota are preparing
for him. His nomination has aroused
real enthusiasm that penetrates to
every corner of the state. In ST. Peter,
where he has lived and worked and
become a familiar figure, in Nicollet
&c Il,
henored him, opinion is wellnigh
unanimous. Everybody is for John
son; and Republicans, as well as Dem
ocrats, are not afraid to say so. This
is but the beginning of the rising tide
that is destined to sweep away Re
publican power in this state in No
vember and give to Minnesota a clean
and strong and reputable administra-
ton.
Every preparation made for the
campaign augurs well for success.
One could scarcely believe that short
time ago there were serious differences
of opinion and hot feelings in one
quarter or another among our Demo-
Gratis, SO thoroughly have these been
fused into one great wave of harmoni-
Gus enthusiasm. The first condition
of getting to work is that absolute
harmony shall prevail everywhere.
To this end every element in the party
and every man prominent in its con-
duct has been carefully and courteous
ly consulted, as it is his right that he
should be. We are not going into this
battle with divided forces or with the
brand of ostracism upon any man. 1t
is enough for us all that he should be
Democrat to be entitled to his equal
place in the ranks and at the board of
council.
The selection of Frank A. Day, of
Fairmont, as manager of the can
vass. is an especially happy one. Mr.
Day is one of the most popular men in
Minnesota, and one of the shrewdest
and most competent political man
ayers and workers in the party He
knows the state, he understands the
game, and under his direction the state
campaign will be a rattling and sue
cessful one. Mr.. johnson and the
party are to be congratulated upon Mr.
Days consent to assume the onerous
duties OF the campaign management
and they viii reap the reward Of his
experience and ability.
The lines have been drawn, and we
are ready for the battle There should
not be "a moments respite or days
delay. If an election were. to be held
tomorrow. we confidently believe that
Mr.. Johnson would be chosen gov
ernor by substantial majority.
