gathering of the people that he can
attend without neglecting his
official duties and the course OF
Governor Johnson in attending
county fairs, school commence
meuts and similar meetings in the
various parts of the state should be
commended by right thinking men
and not condemned. We do not
imagine that the Governor takes
any great amount of pleasure in
attending these assemblages, no one
but natural born egotist finds any
satisfaction in placing himself
constantly on exhibition but it is
one of the duties that he must
assume when he assumes the Office.
We are getting tired of the small
bore criticism of the present gov
e-nor. He was an experiment, it
is true, but he has made good and
the only legitimate criticism that
can be made on him is his politics.
1t is the stern, imperative duty
of the republicans of this state to
defeat him for reelection. If re-
publican principles and republican
policies are better than democratic
there is no earthly reason why re-
publican Minnesota should have a
democratic governor to inject
democratic principles into legisla-
ton, and to bestow the vast amount
of patronage at his besto~al upon
democrats or upon republicans
willing to accept favors at his
hands, and republican official APP
pointed by democrat IS more
inimical to republican success than
a democratic appointee would be.
But the fight against him must be
made upon the broad ground of
principle, not upon the narrow
foundation of individuality. The
'a"t that Governor Johnson has
made good governor makes him
I'll the more dangerous to the con-
inued republican supremacy in this
state. 1t is not the Tim Murphys,
he Dave Hills, and the Arthur
Germans that the republicans need
ear. 1t is the organs, the Folks,
md the Johnsons that are going to
make us shuck our clothing to get
tut and work as we never worked
before if we maintain republican
supremacy in the nation and the
tate. And we can't win with
lodges, Forkers, Gosvenors, and
men of that ilk for standard bearers.
Ne must have Roosevelts, La Fol
cites, Nelson's, men from the people
nd of the people, to lead us in s
'attle. Men that stand for some {
hing and who dare proclaim their
position.
Governor johnson must be ;
,eaten, not because he is bad man ,
II bad governor, but because he {
s democrat and his success would
ndanger the seat of republican
enator, jeopariize the electoral :
icket, an impetus to democracy,
democratic principles and policies,
nd be of substantial aid to every g
emocratic candidate for office
throughout the nation. Governor ,
ohnson must be beaten but we t
nust go after him with an artillery;
7e can't bring him down with
OPP guns.

where possessed of a more healthful
climate No infectious or contagious

OYSTER BAY, n. Vi, sept ia
contract for the hotel and subsistence
concession Of the Panama canal zone,
awarded TO Jacob Il. Markell Of Omaha.
Neb., by President Theodore T. Shonts
OF the Panama Railroad company, will
stand.
This In effect Is the decision OF rresi-
dent Roosevelt, who has approved a
report on the subject made To him by
Mr.. Shonts.
The contract amounts IN the aggre-

government, which actually will own

ma Railroad company, regarding the
protest recently received by him from
IIudgins 4 Dumas and IL. Balfe of
New York against the award of the

was referred TO him, Is simple state.
ment of the various. steps President
Shonts took in the matter and the rea-

The protest forwarded to the presl

Balfe alleged that they had not been
accorded fair treatment by President
Shonts and that through leak In Mr..
shonts' office Mr.. Markell had been In
formed of the nature of their proposal
and had been enabled thereby to In
corporate in his bid the menu which
Hudgins & Dumas had submitted.
Mr.. Shonts' statement clears up these
allegations TO the satisfaction of the
president. He. therefore, has APPROX

concerning the protest probably will
be taken
