Roosevelt Delegate for johnson.

Roosevelt Delegate for johnson.
Hon. P. H. Stolberg. the leading at
torney of Chisag0 county, writes a
strong endorsement of Governor John
sons administration, and in letter
recently made public gives his reasons
for supporting him for reelection.
Mr.. Stolberg has been a lifelong Re
publican, and in 1904 was delegate
to the republican national convention
which nominated Theodore Roosevelt.
He is member of the board Of direc-
tors of Gustavus Adolphus college,
and has been identified with public at
fairs for great many years. Mr..
Stolberg IS one of the many thousands
of Republican voters who protest
against the domination of his party
conventions and committees by the
lumber trust and other special inter-
ests. He believes further that Cover
nor johnson is entitled to reelection
on his merits. The letter follows:
Harris, Mimi, Oct. 4, l906.-There
are no partisan questions to be decid-
ed in the State election this year. I
can see no reason why the Republicans
who supported and voted for John A.
johnson two years ago should not do
the same this year. I was for him two
years ago, because conditions then
fully justified such course. I favor
his reelection this time, because he
has given the state a clean, efficient
and independent adm; nistration. He
has carried out every promise and
pledge which he made, which were sim
ply to enforce the laws fearlessly and
impartially and to protect the inter-
ests of the state in every respect.
"Governor Johnson has done his
full share to collect the money due the
state from those who had unlawfully
cut timber on the states lands. He
promised before he was elected that
this would be done, and he has made
his promises in this respect good. If
| the state wins the timber trespass suits
that are now in the courts, it will be
richer by over $780, as a result of
the work OF Governor Johnson, Attor-
ney General Young and State Auditor
IversOn.
sit is in a large measure due to the
Governors efforts that the railroad
rates on wheat and coal have been re-
duced, and that there is likely to fol-
| low still further reduction in the
| railroad rates on other articles.
"He has earned the approval of
President Roosevelt, in public mes
sage to Congress, for his work in Sc
curing united action for the reform in
life insurance. The people of Mime
sofa, irrespective of party, will not go
wrong in supporting for reelection a
governor who secures as strong an
endorsement as that given by our
forceful and fearless president to Gov
ernor johnson.
"The administration of every state
department over which the governor
has direct control has been along
strict business lines, and has had for
its object only the protecting and ad-
vancement of the states interests.
81 am a Republican, and believe in
the policies of my party as represented
by President Roosevelt, but I am not
a partisan to the extent of following
blindly the dictates of my party when
its course does not seem to me for the
best interests of the state and the pub
lie welfare.
'''No fair-minded person will attempt
to deny that had the Republicans OF
the state been free to exercise and ex-
press their choice, jacobson would
have been nominated for Governor at
the Duluth convention. His opponents
artfully worked the dodge of bringing
out candidates in those localities
where he was sure to receive the dele.
gates unless local man could be
brought out to hold sufficient mum.
