He made good in the legislature, he
made good on the board of central,
and he would make good as governor.
He would make blunders, and lots Of

goes up against Governor Johnson's
mixing powers, his oratorical gifts,
his skill as a campaigner, his phen-

something to do and then a whole lot
more to do to win. Yet in a great
Republican state like Minnesota, Re
publican by tradition, Republican by
inclination, Republican because Re-
publicanism is right, with it's great
Republican majority there is no more
reason for a Democratic governor,
however able, than there is for a
Democratic United States senator,
Democratic congressman, Democratic
state officers and a Democratic iegis-
lature. The seer predicts a safe and
sane Republican convention, acquies-
ence on the part of Republicans in its
action, harmonious conjunction in
the campaign, that the in
surgents will cease to in
surge and mutineers mutiny no more
and that John A. Johnson will be de-
feated in 1906, after one of the hottest
and most spectacular campaigns ever
waged in Minnesota politics. Just

tangible resemblance to these fea-
lures:

declining to be a cadidate. History

An issue that is of vital interest to
every man who does business, and

things that no prophet can accurately

canism proclaims it's desires, but one

a prophet to foretell, and that is the
masses of the party will name the
man whoever he may be and the
schemes of schemers and the plots OF
plotters, if any exist, will be futile tc
thwart their desires.
Lieutenant Governor.
The citizens of Minnesota have at
last, thanks to the country press,
awakened to the fact that the office
of lieutenant governor is one of the
most important official positions in
the state. The people know that the
senate controls legislation, the COM
mittees control the senate, and the
lieutenant governor appoints the COM
mittees. Thinking men have made
up their minds that as much care
should be exercised in the selection
of a man to fill this position as in
the selection of a candidate to head
the ticket. That this Office should no
longer be used as BOBBY prize to be
awarded some stick who can be con-
trolled and who can be depended up
on to do the bidding of the interests,
but that it should be filled by man
one of unimpeachable integrity, mark
ed ability, keen judge Of men, one
who owns himself and has back
bone in his makeup.
AS one of the men who would salts
factorily fill the bill, the well known
features of Cash Sprague loom Up:
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1905-12-14

goodly amount Of characteristic Amer
lean self-con1dence, started out for
himself. He made a success of bust
ness, was the head officer of the J.
o. o. F. of this state for many years
and Is it's present grand treasurer. He
has served under several governors
on the state board of equalization and
is its present chairman. Mr.. Sprague
is a man of wide business experience,
marked ability and it would be diff
cult to find a man who would make
a better presiding officer for the SEN
ate.
There are several other prominent,
worthy and well known gentlemen
who have been mentioned for this
position. The nationality and place
of residence Of the next Republican
candidate for governor will have
much to do with the selection of a
candidate for the second place on the
ticket. Nationality and locality ought
not to cut any figure in the selection
of officials but they do. Ability
to serve the citizens of the state
should be the only standard of fitness,
but until all men become patriots,
which will not be the case this week.
availability will be more considered
than ability, in the naming of all can
didates and much more Importance
will be attached to the question:
"HOw will they run?'' than to "How
! will they serve the people after they
are elected?"
Secretary of State.
For this very honorable but not
very important place there will be
number of aspirants. but the prognos-
tigator predicts Gustaf Widell of Man
kato will occupy the state secretarys
| office if he so desires.
He is known as General Widell De
cause he isn't a general but he is a
man of wide business experience, ex-
tensive acquaintance and sterling in
tegrity. He is of Swedish ancestry
and the Swedes have a caveat filed
on this place. Their claim is not in
contestable, but they have held it for
II years and can come pretty near to
establishing a title thereto under the
| doctrine of adverse possession.
There is, however, a young, vigor-
Gus, able editor of a country weekly
in the southern part of the state who
may decide to try to Hyump'' the claim
Of the Swedes to this Office. If ne
does there will be music in both
Swedish and German all over the
state.

He is a typical Minnesotian, able,
determined, self-confident. When The
most terrible Indian war in the his
tory of the country threatened to OBJ
literate the frontier settlements OF
this state, before he was 16 years
old. an age at which the boys OF this
generation are not yet out of knicker-
bockers, he assumed the duties OF
manhood, joined the Mounted Rangers
and rode with them to meet the savage
hordes, who with torch and tomar
hawk were desolating the frontier.
Returning from Sibley's expedition
against the Sioux, he re-entered
school, but the nation still needed de-
tenders, and when the Second Mime
sofa veteranized he joined their ranks
and served till the close OF the war.
When it ended young Sprague came

Uncle Loren's" candidacy has not
as yet aroused any great amount of
enthusiasm, but it is delegates that
nominate and not enthusiasm, and
Uncle Loren is an awful handy man
when it comes to picking up dele
gates. 1t is conceded he could carry
Hennepin county and that county
would come very convenient in the
next election. If he were selected it
would be returning to the practice of
the early Republicanism of the state
when gubernatorial candidates were
chosen for the solidity of their bust
ness reputation and the soundness Of
their judgment rather than the BRILL
ancy of their attachments, the re-
dundancy of their eloquence and the
spectacularity of their performances.
''Uncle" Loren has been a resident
and a business man of Minnesota
years before many of the present
generation were born. He has had
his ups and downs in business but by
quiet persistency he always won out
in the end. He has also had his ups
and downs in politics but anyone who
ever went up against him always knew
they had fight whether he won OF
lost. His marked characteristics are
loyalty to Minnesota and Minneapolis.

Democratic Candidates.
1t is not worth while to even propn-
esq in regard to candidates on the
Democratic ticket below the office of
governor. They will be selected solely
with view of helping out the head
of the ticket They will be patriots
who will be willing to sacrifice them
selves without hope of reward except
the consolation prizes that will be
handed in the way of appointive Of
fees in case the Democratic candidate
for governor should be successful.
The Lord and Governor Johnson are
the only ones that have any idea who
they will be and the seer is not we'll
enough acquainted with either to ask
for an opinion.
Congressional.
In the congressional districts, from
a Republican standpoint, there will
probably be nothing doing except in
the Fifth and Sixth districts. In Hen.

will be large. Albert H. Hall. who
made such a remarkable run against
Loren Fletcher, seems to be in the
lead at present, but they are latter

goes under the wire.
In the Sixth the fight for the Re

royal from start to finish. Brilliant,

try to wrest the prize from the astute
political veteran who now holds it.

Gay down" Whoever beats out will
have something to do and then some
more. After consultation the seer
can confidently assert that for small
gratuity he will guarantee he can
name the winner-after the primaries
are held.
Should the present congress fail in
satisfying the people in enacting the
legislation demanded, the Democratic
party will "have hopes" and will put
up an election fight with a show Of
winning in some of the districts.

Immigration and Emigration.

Iue VeueIdDlo O~pTluSIeIu hepuNIi-
can recently pointed out the interesting
fact that IAN unparalleled and steady
stream Of immigrants is being poured
into New York by the Atlantic liners
and special immigrant ships, and it
shows no signs of abating. Immigra-
ton officials now predict that the total
immigration for the current year vii!
exceed that of 1904 by so per CEN.
These newcomers to our shores are
very largely, as for some time pass,
from Austria-Hungary n Italy.
Meantime, the emigration from ouI
northwestern states into the great re-
gion of Canada is again reported large,
after showing some signs of decrease.
We are hardly gamers by the exchange
that is thus going N. 1t is not IN
likely that the next Congress will hear
serious discussion of some measure
for the restriction of immigration,
either the Adams bill, introduced at the
last session, or some new BILL
Times-Union.
