Heron Lake News trep. There is mol
political sense. or common decency. In talk
ing the control Of tho building from the
governors hands, and those who II are
practiclng such small politics ought to
be doing somethingsto earn their salary
instead OF hagglinG over such matters.
the News hopes Governor ] ohnson Will
Win out and retain control 4of the CAPT
tol building during his term of office. He
is practically responsible for the care OF
the property anyway
Wheaton Gazette Reporter (rep.)-Forl
years the governor has been the custodian
OF the state capitol, and there would not
be the slightest objection to that plan
now IL 1t We're not for the fact that the
present governor is a democrat. 1t looks
mighty small politics, and we are glad
Governor johnson had spuhk enough tot
veto 1T

Governor Johnson's veto Of the Horton
bill was right. Had we been in his place
we would have taken the same action
but wouldn't have waited as long, *.

Granite Falls Journal (rep.)-We think
! the governor was right in exercising his

! Wadena Pioneer Journal (rep.)-The
rank and file of the republican party don't
want the leaders to saddle such petty is-
sues upon the party. Governor johnson
was elected by the people, and he should
be treated as courteously as any other
governor. 1t Is small business to attempt
to rob his office Of any dignity and 1t
won't pay in the long run.

politics the passage Of the Horton bill to
deprive the governor of the custody Of
the new capitol is the worst yet. I.ss.t 4.

compliments for his fearless act. >,t4..
Morris Sun (rep.)-Governor Johnson
has vetoed the. Horton bill, giving the
capitol commission control of the new
state capitol for the next two years., and
he was probably justified in doing so. In
the past the governor has always been the
custodian Of the capitol and it looks as If
the only reason for making change at
the present time, is to deprive Governor
Johnson Of the privilege or honor which
has always been conferred on past gov
ernors, especially since the provision is
made to cover only a period Of two years
Osakis Review (rep.)-GoverEor John
son has vetoed the bill for leaving control
OF the new state capitol with the capitol
commission until it Is completed The
governor wants the privilege Of naming
' the chief cusridorians of the statehouse
and wants to Put them under civil service
rule. He has a few friends who >wan
