GREAT MINDS RUN TOGETHER

GREAT MINDS RUN TOGETHER
The Winona Republican Herald
calls the attention of Republicans to
the fact that John Lind, far ADLER
man than Governor Johnson, Gid not
get a second term. At the close of
MIR. Lind's term he had made a record
that caused him to be very danger
Gus man as an opposition leader, yet
S. r. Van SAINT defeated him. 1t will
be eaier to defeat Johnson with a pop
ular republican. Austin Transcript.
There is no parallel. Lind was
elected in an "off" year and defeated
in a presidential election year. John
son was elected in a presidential year,
when Minnesota turned up the largest
republican majority in the history of
the state, and will make his second
campaign in an ''off" your. Lind
may have made record that rendered
him dangerous man, but Johnson
has made no serious mistakes and
under existing circumstances is far
more dangerous than Lind ever was.
Voters have come to consider men in
stead of parties. Preston Republican.
The remarks of the Republican are
almost duplicate of an editorial we
had written for this weeks Herald
KINDLY RECEIVED
The announcement of G. M. Sprague
of Sank Centre of his candidacy for
the nomination of lieutenant governor
is being very kindly received by the
press of the state. It looks as though
he would have a walk away for the
nomination.-Wykhoff Messenger.
GOOD NAME
Senator Samuel Lord of Kasson is
frequently mentioned as an available
candidate for governor. He is a good,
honorable and able man and would
make an excellent chief executive.
Besides he has name that is good to
have on ones side in any kind of a
campaign.-Warren Sheaf.
NO PROTEST.
The mention of the name of C. M.
Sprague for lieutenant governor on
the republican ticket has been we'll
received all over the state and the fact
that no word of protest or opposition
has been raised speaks we'll for him.
Lanesboro Leader.
WILL SPEAK IN DUE SEASON.
No. candidate for nomination as
candidate for lieutenant-governor
should receive any consideration until
he has publicly stated his position on
railroad tax, insurance and other i'm
portant matters with which the legis-
lature deals. 1t is more important to
know where candidates for lieutenant
governor stand than the candidates
for governor. Let the press and pub
lie demand declaration from every
candidate for acknowledgement
Mr.. Sprague of Sank Centre, is the
only avowed candidate now in the
field. Who knows where he stands
with regard to railroad, tax and in
surance measures? If nominated and
elected acknowledgement he would
WELD more influence in shaping legis-
lation affecting these important ques-
tions than any other man in the state,
not excepting the governor. Mr..
Sprague should declare himself.
What is his platform?-Grant Co.
Elbow Lake. Herald.
Without any consultation with Mr..
Sprague and purely on our own
authority we will guarantee that he
will, in due time, make his position
known.
CLEAN AND HONORABLE.
c. NJ. Sprague of Sank Centre, is
the only avowed candidate for Lieu
tenant governor on the Republican
ticket. There is no cleaner and more
honorable man in the state than Mr..
Sprague and we urge the Republicans
to put him on their cket.-Sleepy
Eye Herald. (Dem.)
