Political arties should be simply
vehicles of good government, and
honest politics. When political
party c=ases to be such vehicle its
end is near. William Henry Eustis,
the only republican who ever had the
honor Of being defeated by demo-
cratic candidate for governor in this
state, said recently in the southern
part OF the state For Gods sake

vote for a republican candidate and
know I was wrong tnan vote for
democrat and know I was right -
Such a doctrine would be dangerous.
Mr.. johnson described conditions in
republican party, whose rank and file
believed in honest and good govern
ment. A coterie of leaders seized
control Of the great party and delivered
it to certain great Interests. For
the first time in the history of the
state the governor refuses to go on the
stamp for the nominee of his party.

from the ticket. Dunn sacrificed the
men who made his nomination posi-

Mr.. johnson qnoted the strong
words Of Gen. Terrence, past COM
mander in chief OF the Il. A. r., on
Dunn, and said that Dunn's remarks
In favor of old soldiers were good, but
there were no cid soldiers on the re-
publican state ticket.
So far as the board Of control was
concerned, the speaker was strongly
opposed to the manner In which con-
tracts for hundreds Of thousands of

We understand that E. A. King,

might forget that he is republican.

eral, was the man who as chairman
Of the senate judiciary committee,
brought in the report that the 4 per
cent gross earnings tax was unconstl-
tutional. The convention that nomin-
ated Dunn said nothing about the tax
in it's platform. The convention NOM
mated for railroad commissioner
Mills. a man notorious for his rail-
read afaliations. ~.
The important issue, as 9, er, was
the merger. The general counsel Of the
Great Northern road sat on the plat
form at the republican state conven-
tion and dictated every move that vas
made.
The merger was as great an issue as
ever. The republicans had nominated
for governor a man who had opposed
Van SAINTS stand on the merger ques-
tion. The people endorsed Van SAINTS
position with great majority. Now
the republicans nominate the man
who was strongest in favor of Hill
and against the people. We are told
that Hill has done mach for the
Northwest, but the Northwest has
done great deal for Hill. It was also
noticeable that Judge Lovely, a So
preme court judge whose opposition
to merger interests is known, Judge
Douglas, who as attorney general
had charge Of the merger case, and
Attorney General Donahower, were
all defeated in the republican conven-
tion.
The settlement OF timber trespass
cases under the amount definitely
prescribed by law, was great abufe
of power, and such system, on the
part of a governor, would likely be
disastrous to the state. Dunn's dere-
LECTION had cost the state and the
schools and the school children mill
lone of dollars which was diverted
into the pockets of the timber thieves
of northern Minnesota. The pine
lands Of this state were the property
Of the people and to protect this pro-
perty of the people and to protect this
property the act absolutely prohib.
tied the state auditor from making
any settlement for trespass at any
amount less than double the value Of
the timber taken. The law gives no
discretion beyond that limitation.
Dunn's violation and total disregard
for the law was willful In the event
of his election Mr.. johnson said he
would do all he could to SEQ that the
state is refunded every dollar which
the timber thieves and others owe her
for pine trespass.
Mr.. johnson said in closing: = =.
The state Of Minnesota means
much to me. Within 1t all my life has

infinite wisdom will give me guidance

location of a certain theater in New
York city. The one insisted that the
house stood on lower Broadway, while
the other was equally confident that it
was uptown,
Finally the first man, becoming
angry, exclaimed. Perhaps you
think you know more about New York
than I do? How often have you been
there?" @
Once" was the epigrammatic re-
ply. NY

umph, T'ye been there five different
times, and ought to know more
about 1t than you do"
The vanquished one was silent for
a moment. Presently he spoke with a
smile on his face. "How long did you
stay In New York on each of the five
visits you made?" M.
The other scratched his head mo-
ment before replying, and said: well

Ethel Bret Harte Forced to Earn Llv.
ing in Concerts.
Miss Ethel Bret Harte, the daughter
of the famous writer Of early Califor-
MIA llfe has decided to devote herself
to concert work. Although Bret Harte
made large profits from his writings
and won a success which seldom
comes 10 a writer as early as 1t did
to him, he left his family in very
straitened circumstances, and II it
were not for the many stanch friends
in the American colony in London
Mrs. Bret Harte would often find 1t
difficult to make both ends meet.
With her children she has made her
home in Bayswater ever since Bret
Hartes death. The family difficulties
have been complicated by threatened
loss OF sight Of one of the sons and
he has been sent to Switzerland in
the hope that a renowned oculist may
perform a successful operation.
Miss Bret Harte has had a long up
hill struggle in her work. She served
a stage apprenticeship with George
Edwards and D'Oyly Carte. She has
a soprano voice Of excellent range and
sympathetic quality and her one de-
sire is to bring It to greater perfec-
ton. Her capacity for work seems
endless and her love Of music Is as
much of an incentive as the money
which she hopes to bring into the fam
lily purse, 1t is extremely difficult to
get a hearing on the concert stage in
London, where only the well-known
artists are invited to sing, but through
the influence Of the friends OF the
American author his daughter will
have every opportunity to make the
success which her friends anticipate.
