The Irish standard., 1904-10-29
All the Nominees Of Democratic Convention
are Worthy and Of Unquestioned
Integrity and Ability.
In Striking Contrast Behold the Records of
Dunn, Jones and Young on the
Republican State Ballot.

oppose party candidates for this rea.
son, nor do scores of other daily and
weekly Republican papers throughout
the state that are supporting johnson.
The real cause of the revolt against
the Republican candidate is now well
known to the people, and there are thou.
sands of independent voters who are
determined to show their disapproval
of his methods by aiding in the elec-
ton Of John A. johnson, the man who
in his address to mass meeting at
the Exposition building in Mime
apolis on September "a gave express
sion to the following sentiment:
"The state of Minnesota means
much to me. Within it all my life
has been spent. Ever kind to me. 1
shall try to be ever true to it, and If
chosen to preside over its affairs for
the next two years, trust that God
in His infinite wisdom will give me
guidance that the best interests Of the
state be served"
Nor is there any good reason why
1rishmen should support r. @. Dunn
simply because he happened to be
born in Ireland. Had he first of all
proved himself worthy Of the confld-
ence of all good citizens, irrespective
Of nationality or creed, it would then
be in order to consider his merits from
the above standpoint. The people Of
the United States respect the man Of
foreign birth, who, after first proving
his worth as man and citizen Of this,
the greatest republic on earth, is ever
ready and willing by act and deed to
remove the yoke Of oppression from
those who in the land Of his birth are
still laden with the burdens of land
lordism and unjust taxation. Has Mr..
Dunn, born, we believe, somewhere In
the north Of Ireland, ever exhibited
any sympathetic feeling for those In
the land across the sea who have in
his day, since the time of Charles
Stewart Parnell, waged a continuous
struggle for constitutional liberty? If
SO, when and where? The Irish
Standard realizes fully that this is
not subject to be discussed in con-
nection with this compaign and we
simply refer to the matter for the rea-
son that it has come to our knowledge
that political friends of Mr.. Dunn are
endeavoring to secure the votes Of
men of Irish birth under false pre-
tences.
WINSTON AND JONES COMPARED
Having discussed the merits Of the
candidates for governor, we now deem
it of much Importance that readers Of
The Irish Standard should have
thorough knowledge of the qualiflca-
tions Of Messrs. Fendall G.. Winston
and Ray W. Jones, Democratic and
Republican candidates respectively for
the high and important Office Of lieu
tenant governor. We will discuss
these candidates briefly, giving facts
only in the record Of each.
FENDALL G.. WINSTON.
Fendall G.. Winston, Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor, is in
every respect a man of the people.
Born in the state Of Virginia in 1849,
the first years Of his life were spent
on farm in his native state. In 1872
at the age Of % he came west, going
to Fargo, n. D., where he worked with
surveying party, laying out the route
Of the Northern Pacific road. He was
soon promoted to the position Of level
man and remained with the party un-
til the fall of '73, working westward
as far as Billings, Mont. When the
financial crash of that year came,
with the failure Of Jay Cooke, work
on the N. P. was abandoned, and be-
ing out Of employment he came to
Minneapolis and secured position in
the Minneapolis harvester works In
November at $1.25 per day. He work
ed faithfully for this company for one
year, and in the fall of 1874. with his
brother, the late Philip B. Winston.
