Students Aid Fund
Not only has Wake Forest trained

they are found among the leaders liz

lent material assistance to many Of
Ing.
The Students Aid Fund has been in
operation about twenty-five years It's
aim is to furnish cash loans to worthy
INDECENT students to enable them to
meet their expenses, other than tut
tion bills. This is done by cash loans
to be repaid when the student leaves
college and goes TO work
At the last session the number aid
ed was 81. A larger number will be
helped next session. The fund
amounts to more than $4,000, and
not one dollar of il has ever been
lost.
History of The College.
The history of Wake Forest College
forms one of the most interesting
chapters of the Baptist denomination s
history in North Carolina.
The Baptist State Convention of
North Carolina was organized in 1880,
ana as early as 1892 it resolved on
"the establishment OF a Baptist Lit
erary Institution in the State For
its site there was purchased. less than
a month later, a farm of 615 acres in

Speak Easy About Society"

Charity and Children recently got
down after modern society in this
manner:
Now if society was not a. painted
and hollow mockery it would banlsh
its wine and punch bowls and join in
with the moral forces to rid the State
Of the saloons. But society has
neither heart nor head. and nothing
need be expected from this direction
Then the Monroe Enquirer sounds
a note OF warning to Charity and
Children thusly:
"Speak easy about society beloved.
We. have heard that this paper has
hurt itself by not giving enough space
to functions naming the names of
those who were there, telling what
kind of rags they wore and so forth
and so fifth Sassiety of the punch
bowl, wine cup and half dress type,
is not worth the lbank paper it takes
to write about it. Right you are in
saying that it is heartless and head

ceptions moneyless. The bunch call

he was elected secretary of the State
Editorial association and in 1893 was
elected by his contemporaries to the
office of president. It is significant
that among the whole 700 publications
of the state there is not one that,
moved by professional jealousy or par
tisan bias, has yet uttered word de-
rogatory to John A. Johnson.
John A. Johnson stands squarely on
the state Democratic platform of 1904,
as we'll as on the national platform.
He believes in the right of labor to
organize and as governor would stand
against any attempt to abridge that
lawful right. On the merger question
he stands for the strict and impartial
enforcement of the law without fear
or favoritism and will use the whole
power of the Office of governor for the
protection of the public interests in
this direction. On the tariff he is an
earnest exponent of Canadian reel
procity, which he believes will double
the commercial territory and develop
ment of Minnesota, and holds that lum-
Der and other trust controlled products
should go to the free list.
The nomination of John A, johnson
for governor was by reclamation of
the whole state of Minnesota. At the
convention there was no dissenting
voice; In the state at large there has
been no voice of dissent. He is sup.
ported by a united Democracy. More

having been ushered into life Nov. II,
1861, in ,Kasota, LIE Sueur county, his
parents being Paul and Rose (McNa-

good common school education he was
given the advantage of a good busi-

in Minneapolis, supplementing this
with a course in the law school of the
state university, from which he grad
uated, taking both bachelor and mas
ter degrees. He also had practical
training in the Office of Eugene NJ.

Judge William Lochren of Minneapo-

FEN0ALL G.. WINSTON. !.

One Of the most conspicuous exam
pies of patriotism in the interests Of
good government in Minnesota Is the
action of Fendall G. Winston, Demo
cratic candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, in neglecting business interests
which in the aggregate distribute
nearly 100000 in wages per annum
to gives his time, name and influence
to the cause of the people in this cam
paign as the running mate of John A.
Johnson. =.
Coming to the Northwest in 1872,
then a young man of only twenty-five
years, Fendall G. Winston has been
identified with the growth and prog
ress of Minnesota for generation.
He is bone of, its bone and sinew Of
it's sinew. The firm of Winston Bros,
contractors, formed in 1874, first
achieving distinction in the early mu.
nicipal construction work of Minneapo-
lis, then extending it's operations to
government and railway ~survey. and
construction work throughout the
Northwest, has been associated with
the engineering development of Mime
sofa and the Northwest for thirty
years and one of the strong factors in
the states industrial progress.
Fendan G.. Winston is today presi-
dent of Winston Bros. company, con-
tractors; of Winston-Dear company,
contractors, and of Winston, Harper,
Fisher & Co., wholesale grocers. The
high standing of these companies for
integrity and enterprise is known

construction companies last season, a
comparatively dull year, distributed d.
rectly to the workingmen employed by
them $750,00O in wages, not including
pay for clerks and teams. and not in

been head since 1898, has payroll of

ingmen. In thirty years the firm has
employed in all not less than quarter
of a million hands. In addition to be-
ing president of the three companies
named Mr.. Winston is likewise di-
rector of the Security bank of Mime
apolis, of the Minnesota Loan and
Trust company and of the Minneapolis
plOw works.
For a man of such heavy business
responsibilities the Office of lieutenant
governor can be accepted only at great
sacrifice. For such man to lay down
all his multifarious business and per-
sonal interests on the altar of good
government is a test of patriotism
which but few men of his commercial
standard are willing in this generation
to undergo. The position of lieuten-
ant governor is one which is the least
sought of all the positions on the state
ticket. To hold up the hands of John
A. Johnson as the standard bearer Of
good government in Minnesota, to rid
this commonwealth of the stain upon
it's good name, to help the people of
Minnesota to regain the reins of gov
eminent and to uplift Minnesota poll
tics to standard of purity and honor,
Mr.. Winston has set aside all business
and personal interests and given the
prestige of his name and the force of
his influence and energy to advance
the flag of Democracy and the people
in this campaign.
Every Minnesota voter who has re-
gard for patriotism, every friend of
the commonwealth who wants clean
hands and a soul of honor in the Office
Of president of the state senate, every
citizen, regardless of party, who wants
the senate committees of this state ap-
pointed by a man whose only interest
is that of the public, every friend of
good state government who wants to
hold up the hands of John A. Johnson
as governor by giving him an ally and
supporter, and not an enemy and op-
ponent, in the person of lieutenant
governor and president of the senate,
should vote to elect Fendall G. Winston
by the side Of John A. Johnson and
thereby give the state of Minnesota in
1904 for these two high offices a pair
of executive officials who, for brains
and backbone, for executive fitness
and ability, for public spirit and patri-
otto purpose, are not excelled by the
standard bearers of any other state in
the Union.

in Goodhue county, holding that it is
the lawyers business to protect his
clients from litigation. His reputation
for probity and knowledge Of the law
is so firmly established that an opinion
from him is frequently accepted as
final judgment, not needing appeal to
the courts.
His briefs are notably clear and
lucid, his style easy and readable, his
logic well considered, holding the mind
to the argument.
AS an advocate he tries every case
on Its merits, never descending to spe.
cial pleading, abhorring the time worn
device of abusing the plaintiffs attor-
ney, but preserving at all times the
amenities and dignities of the profess
sion.
He was born at Conneaut, O., in
1851, now at fifty-three in the prime of
his powers. A boy of twelve he seized
a smooth bore to join the home guards
in defense against Morgan's raid and
at fifteen he was editor of an abolition
weekly. The qualities that made the
boy an advocate of emancipation have
fixed his party affiliations as Demo
crat in maturer years.
He graduated from Williams college
in 1868 and came at once to Red Wing,
MINI. In the old a6ashioned way he
read law in the Office of Wilder & Will
liston, the venerable Judge Wilder and
Williston for the last fifteen years on
the bench for the First district. Judge
Wilder retiring Mr.. Hall entered part
nership with Judge Williston, which
continued to 1880. In that year he
formed a partnership with Judge'N. o:
Werner, now we'll known to the bar of
Minneapolis.
Mr.. Hall was elected to the state
senate from strong Republican dis
trict in 1885. In 1890 he was nomi-
mated by the Democrats of the Third
congressional district and led forlorn
hope to victory. He won by straight,
aggressive campaign on the tariff, with
no concessions to personal arguments.
He was easily reelected in 1892 and
went down with colors flying in 1894.
Except to serve on local boards he
has held no other public Offices. But
he is director in bank, in two manu-
featuring companies; and director and
counsel for the Minnesota Scandi-
navian Relief association.
He would bring dignity to the SUI
preme court and weight to its de-
cisions
