Daniel Anderson of Cambridge Gives
Reasons Why Dunn Should
be Supported.
He Places the r1atter Before Voters
in a Very Clear and Convinc-
ing Tanner.

The best endorsements that r. G..
Dunn can have are unsolicited state
ments as to his character and official
record by old friends who have known
him both in public and private life.
Hon. Daniel Anderson of Cambridge,
has known Mr.. Dunn many long
years. He served with him in the leg
islature and he served on the State
board of equalization when Mr.. Dunn
was auditor. Mr.. Anderson is not
given to idle fattery. He is loved
and admired by all who have any ac-
quaintance with him, and when he
speaks he means it. He says OF r.
G.. Dunn:
''Feeling lively interest in State
as we'll as in national politics, I beg
leave to express my views regarding
the incongruity developed in the pend
ing campaign, and in order show the
basis on which my theory is built,
must be allowed to go back number
OF years, not to kick or criticise the
opposition political party, because I
conceded to them the right to use their
best endeavors against US, their polit-
ical adversaries, but if possible to
call the attention of Republicans to
certain pre-convention conditions.
Robert @. Dunn served as State audi
tor for eight years. During his term
OF office we Republicans recognized
him as an efficient officer and faith
full guardian of public interests. His
term expired two years ago and there

There has been some misunderstand-
ing about the sale of the season tick
cts, and the impression, has gone out
that the season tickets included re-
served seats. At the price of the sea-
son tickets which was $3.50 this would
be impossible. as the spartiesswho have
secured the entertainments would lose
money on the sale of tickets at such a
price. All the entertainments are of
a high grade and character and in
clude the best talent to be had and
they are worth much more than the
price asked for admission. In the
city such entertainments will cost
fifty cents and better. The single ad-
mission for the jubilee singers will
be thirty-tive cents for adults and
twenty-five cents for children, with re-
served seats at fifty cents. The en-
tertainment is worth much more than
the price asked.
Those living in the country who can
attend should do so as it is not very
often there are opportunities to hear
the sweet melody of southern singers.

LIND'S MISDEMEANORS
by His Own Mouth He Proves Himself
Guilty of Violating the Law.

ny MS own Mouth He Proves Himself
Guilty of Violating the Law.
John Lind is in the sort of a fix
with classical prefix where Loren
Fletcher found himself when he went
to Manitoba in pursuit of fugitive
from justice. He set the tools of the
law to catch one Or two Of Dunn IS
clerks whom he charges with dabbling
in land purchases and mineral leases
and instead of catching them gets
caught himself. He quotes the law,
section 6666 of the Revised Statutes
1884, as follows: "A public officer
who is authorized to sell or lease any
property or to make any contract in
his official capacity or to take part in
making any such sale. lease or con-
tract who voluntarily becomes inter
ested in such sale, lease or contract
directly or indirectly is guilty of a
misdemeanor.' This law was on the
statute book when John Lind was gov
ernor. AS governor he alone is au-
thorized to sell and convey any of the
State lands. The State auditor may
contract for such sale, but the COVER
nor is the official who is responsible
for the contamination of the bargain
in the final sale. The law above quoted
made it misdemeanor for him to be-
come interested directly or indirectly
in such sale and yet in face of this
prohibition and in apparent defiance
of it John Lind, while governor, bid
in some 1890 acres of school and uni.
versity lands at the rate of SIS per acre.
These lands which cost him Sc, 300 are
now said to be worth 1926 per acre or
$31, 5000 that he makes profit or
this investment of nearly 1926, 900. But
the highly profitable character of the
transaction does not diminish or OBJ
scure it's obvious illegality. That be

Gaining Strength Every Day.

From the tone of our exchanges it is
evident that r. G. Dunn is gaining
strength every day. Many papers,
that formerly stated that he had a
hard road to travel, now assert that
his vote will not fall far short of the
Roosevelt support. The fight being
made on Mr.. Dunn Will necessarily re-
duce his majority to some extent but
his election is not in doubt Fergus

electlng SO important an officer as
governor of the State And in no
other matter would any considerable
number of persons knowingly and
willingly subject themselves to the
rldicule and contempt of their rivals,
as will the Republicans of the Swed-
ish nationality by allowing themselves
to become the dupes of the Democratic
party and elect for them governor
selected solely because of Swedish an
cestry. All persons who assert that
the Democratic candidate for governor
is we'll fitted for that position on the
ground Of extensive knowledge in
statecraft Or on account of his merits
and his record as a legislator are
either blinded by prejudice and bias
or insincere in their statements.
There appears to be number of
what might be termed as the better
class of Swedish speaking Republi-
cans, conscientious and jealous, but
gullible and credulous to excess, who
have taken their inspiration from
newspapers unfriendly to Mr.. Dunn
and swallow at gulp the alleged OBJ
]ectlons to him on the ground that he
is profane in language and intemper-
ate in habits beyond the limit of
civility and courteous behavior, and
therefore not only claim justification,
but credit besides, for opposing him,
though at the head of their own
party's State ticket. If slanderous
statements were Ineffective and void
until proven no harm could result
theretrom, but contrary to the rule
governing other propositions the
Affirmative need not be proven, while
upon general principles, the negative
cannot be. My acquaintance with
Mr.. Dunn is not as extensive, per-
haps, as is that of some others, but I
have had some opportunities to be-
come acquainted with him. We &C.
cupled adjoining seats in the house of
representatives during ninety days
session. During four years of his
term as State auditor served in the
county auditors Office, and there is a
close business relation between the
two regarding school land sales and
otherwise; and during two years of
his term served on the State board
OF equalization, where the State audi
tor cuts the greatest figure, so that,
considering those opportunities as
basis for my opinion, | am at least as,
much entitled to it as are the great
majority of croackers whose opinions
are based upon the seventh edition of
some slanderous rumor. And some
thing besides unreliable newspaper
slang is required to make me back
down from the position heretofore
maintained by the Republican party,
viz: that our public servants are and
have been honorable and efficient and
worthy of respect, instead of imbeciles
ana rogues as asserted by those who
advocate the election Of the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor by Re-
publican votes: and when I become
convinced that the Democratic party
and Democratic candidate are supe-
r1or to our own, then shall vote, not
only for the head, but for the entire
Democratic ticket, but not before.

to Mr.. Johnson and thus obtain an
overwhelming preponderance of testi-
mony against Dunn? The latter prop
osltiqah would be- plausible enough
weise II not for, the fact. that every cam
didate or measure proposed by the
Republican party during the forty
eight years Of it's existence has been
denounced as unfit, false and corrupt
by the Democratic party. That being
the case, and having learned by OBJ
servation that Republican men and
measures have generally proven bene-
fetal to our people and county, we
are forced to the conclusion that the
Democratic party is incompetent to
judge as to what is bad: or else that
the evils of Republicanism is public
blessing. AS stated in the outset, it
is not my aim to quarrel with the op-
position party but to call the attention
OF unthinking voters to the incon-
sistency of protesting allegiance to
an organization and at the same time
work and act in such manner as to
weaken and cripple the same. There
can be but one honorable and sincere
motive for being member of polit-
zeal party, viz: to uphold and
strengthen such political principles
and measures as are most in harmony
and accord with our own, which of
course implies to abstain from acts
that will injure and obstruct the
theories and policies you believe in.
IT individual Republicans see fit to
elect Democratic governor it is not
going to effect the amount of rain
fall or sunshine, or even the price Of
eggs but such an event could and
would have political effects, quite I'M
desirable, from Republican point of
view. In the first place the governor
has the appointing power for many
public servants in the State These
OF course go to the party he repre-
sents, and every one of those appoint
ees possess more or less political pull,
which will and may be used with per-
feet propriety, for the continuation Of
that political party in power; and the
natural tendency will be to secure
more members of the legislature of the
same political party with the gov
ernor, thus under ordinary and
natural conditions a direct step to-
wards reversion in politics. But
suppose further that vacancy takes
place in Office of U. s. senator during
the time when our legislature is not in
session, which means all the time, ex-
cept three months out of twenty-four,
in such an event the governor has the
appointment of that important officer,
and we all know that U. S. senator
possesses more power and influence in
shaping the legislation and the policy
in national matters than any other
officer, except possibly the president.
Therefore it seems to me that in no
other transaction outside of politics
would any considerable number of
men act so indifferently and 80 con-
trary to their own aims and desires

is no doubt about Mr.. Dunn being
looked upon at that time, by very
large portion Of the Republicans OF
the The State, as the most logical candi-
Edateafor governor, both on account
of his familiarity with State matters
and on account of his popularity as
an officer; and at last, if not the least,
for the prominence of his services and
efficiency as Republican Office hold
er, which, were largely depended upon
and used as leverage for the success
OF Republican candidates on the State
ticket, not only in one State campaign
but in several. What surprise then or
what improperly if Mr.. Dunn aspired
to become a candidate for governor.
not while he was still in office, but af-
ter the expiration of his term? AS l
understand this was the condition of
things when Judge Collins announced
his candidacy, while he was yet hold
ing his judgeship. And upon what
theory it can be claimed that the Re-
publicans of Minnesota brought any
greater pressure to bear on him to be-
come candidate for governor than
was brought to bear on Mr.. Dunn I
do not know, but we are all aware
that during the rivalry and contention
prior to the State convention the en-
thusiasm overbalanced the good iudg-
ment in both factions; probably more
on the part of unwise friends than by
the principals themselves; but to an
impartial observer it looked as if both
factions used about the same manner
OF procedures: and only one faction
could be successful. Now, wherein
does the great agrievance consist:
Some would say in excluding the 11a
from Hennepin county from the State
convention and thereby depriving
Judge. Collins of the requisite number
of delegates to secure the nomina-
ton. But according to the statement
of the chairman of that convention
who certainly ought to know, the only
test vote taken by the convention was
on the question of seating the Henne.
pin county Collins delegates, and that
vote stood in support of the Dunn
faction 622 and for the Collins follow.
ing $50 votes, consequently the liz
Collins delegates from Hennepin
county would have been insufficient by
far to overcome Dunn s majority and
it seems to me that as long as we pre-
tend to submit to a majority rule,
