New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-06-15
Dunnss Unfitnsss for Govsrnor.
Until last Saturday personalities

had not entered into the gubernatorial
nor had there been the
slightest reference in the public prints
to certain features of the priv ate char
acter of one of the aspirants for the
nomination. The newspapers that
have been unfriendly to the candidacy
of Robert G.. Dunn refrained from
saying a word that would in anyway
give those unacquainted with him a
hint of his chief characteristics, but
they have been content to confne their
discussions of his fitness for the posi-
ton of governor entirely to his record
as state auditor. That record in itself
is sufficient to convince a large num-
Der of Republicans that he is not the
man who should receive the nomina-
ton from their, party. Now that Mr..
Dunn himself has injected into the
campaign new and disreputable
phase, it is within the province of a
newspaper that has high regard for
it considers Mr.. Dunn personally I'M
fit for the place. 1t is not too much
to say that the governors chair
should not be demeaned by having as
its occupant man of the Dunn type.
Minnesota has not as yet reached the
level that it should have for it's chief
executive a person who so far forgets
himself as to engage in disgraceful
scenes, one who will place himself on
the same plane with the braggart and
the graduate of the prize ring, one
who is lacking in gentlemanly in
stincts, and one who fails to conduct
himself with decency and decorum
while in the company of gentlemen,
one who uses language that is unfit
for print, one whose friends are often
forced to apologize for his vicious
conduct a person, The Free
Press contends, should receive no SER
ious consideration from the Republi-
can party when the important duty de-
wolves upon it of selecting candidate
to head the state ticket. This paper
is of the belief that the large majority
of Republicans will, when the primar-
les are held, file a strong protest
against the nomination of Robert c..
Dunn by selecting delegates favorable
to the candidacy of Judge L. W. Col
Inns who is known to be a gentleman
of eminent responsibility, of spotless
character, man honored for his
strict integrity, and against whom no
word of reproach can be hurled by
those who do not agree with his polit-
ical views. Judge Collins is a gentle
man of dignifed bearing, one in whom
the people could have an honest pride
were he to be the governor of this
great commonwealth. -Mankato Free

New Ulm bids the State Federation
of Labor welcome. We are more for.
tunate here than most cities; we al
labor and the capital has not sought
to Cypress us.
Rev. G. L. Morrell both pleased anc
| displeased those who heard him at the
graduation exercises. To some his
remarks were too fiippant for so seri
Gus an occasion and especially com
| ing from one whose vocation in life
would lead one to expect more rever
ence for things we are laugh to hole
sacred. Aside from this as an enter
tainer he is a success and nobody
sleeps while he is talking.
Judging from the commencement ex
ercises of the high school, the gradu
ating class this year is made up O
students of more than usual bright
ness. The program without exception
showed individualism and indepen
dence. If these young people cal
maintain the same excellence in theil
future life as they have displayed il
their school they need have no fear il
entering the great school of the world
While nobody in particular may b.
to blame for it, still it would have
made a better appearance if the enter
tainment committee of the Commercial
Union or some other organizatio or
had provided some sort of reception
for the delegates to the Federation O
Labor convention. It cannot be sale
that the convention received a very
warm welcome, though the visitor!
were given a good time while they
were here. Labor, the first element O
all government, deserves the bes
| there is.
