II Will Be Given at St Peter on Nov
ember 9th.

Next Tuesday, Nov. 9th, is the date
of the great Hellstrom concert in the
auditorium of Gustavus Adolphus col
lege, st. Peter. Indications point to a
large attendance and the large hall hold
ing about 400 persons, will assuredly

auditorium in Chicago last Sunday and
every seat was sold almost a week be-
fore. At the St. Peter, concert she will
be ably assisted by Macmillan Dick
Professor J. Victor Bergquist and the
College Conservatory chorus of seventy
five voices. Tickets at IS cents and

round trip from all points within seven
ty-five miles of st. Peter, with an eX-
tension to Tracy. Tickets will be on

limit will be Nov. It'll. Persons wishing
t. return the same night after the con-
cert, can go by way of Manllato and
their tickets will be honored froml that

Samuel G. Nerson, the present state
auditor and republican candidate for re-
election, is a native product of Mime
sofa, having been born in Rushford, Fill
more. county, in 1859. He was one of
the leading active young men of his
town, so prominent that when he was
twenty-one years of age his fellow cit
liens united almost unanimously in a
petition to Mark H. Dunnel, then con-
gresham from the First district, to APP
point him postmaster of that town. The
petition was so overwhelming in his fav-
or that Mr.. Dmnell promptly complied,
and when he had by a few months, pass
ed his ajOrity, he was selected for that
position. He held the place for five
years, and then, without any active
effort on his part, was sent by his town
and county to the legislature After
serving a term in the legislature he
was selected as an office. countant in
was selected as an accountant in
which he held until 1891, when he was
chosen as deputy state treasurer. This
position he held until 1895, when he was
appointed deputy state auditor, and dis
charged the duties of that office from
1895 to 1903. His services were so sat
isfactOry, and he proved himself so
faithful and well adapted to the public
positions which he held, that the people
took him up in 1902 and elected him to
the position of state auditor, so that on
the first of January, 1908, he stepped
from deputy to be principal in the
office.
There is probably no man in the state
who is more familiar with the duties of
the great office which he now holds
than Mr. Iverson and certainly no man
more capable to discharge the onerous
business. Comparatively few are aware
that the duties which devolye upon tie
state auditor are very numerous and
complex, and only man especially
familiar with the work of the office is
competent to discharge them.
The state auditor is member of the
drainage commission, a member of tie

printing commission, member Of the
board of investment of trust funds, a
member of the board of deposits, which
designates the banks to be used by the
state treasurer, member of the state
lumber board, and ex-officio secretary
of that board.
In discharging his duty as state au-
ditor, he is called upon to decide impor
tant tax questions and construe the tax
law, his decision being of binding effect
unless set aside by some court proceed
ings. The auditor also appoints the for
estry commission. He has the care of
all state lands and determines their
sale.
When tie legislature of two years ago
passed the immigration law. it turned
its execution over to Mr.. iverson, and
though the preparation was very sim
re, he has discharged the duties under
that law in such manner as to great
~ ada to the public interests of the
state In the sale of public lands he
handles in cash million and a half
dollars and in the sale of mineral lands
at least two hundred thousand. Re-
ceipts and disbursements which pass
through his office aggregate seventeen
million dollars.
1t will be seen by this brief outline of
his duties that the position of state au
ditor is one not easily filled Mr.. Iver
sons own experience in the office, in
minor capacities, his known integrity
and his straig htforWardness in public
affairs fits him for the place, and it is
almost surprise to think that any po-
litical party will have the temerity to
oppose him.
The superior and eminent qualifica-
tions of Mr.. Iverson are so great that
he commends himself to the support of
every voter in the state of Minnesota
The fact that when he was elected state
auditor he received a plurality of 72,2S4,
which was the largest plurality of any
one on the ticket, tells in a few words
the standing which is justly accorded to
him by the voters

NOT MANY FREE RIDES
SpeliIbnders Paying Their Fares
Committeeman Doing Likewise.

The pass question, as far as 1t IN
wolves the present state campaign has
bobbed into the open and the voters are
being RECALLED with accusations and de-
malls In view of the railroad rate talk
being INDUCED in by some of the candi-
dates, the discussion very nearly APP
proachcs an issue, says The st. Paul
Dispatch.
While there are passes carried by a
number of spell binders now stumplng
the state for both sides, speaking for
the republican state central committee,
those in charge have paid out goodly
sum since the campaign opened for
transportation. Mileage books are being
used and the committee has receipts for
every mile purchased. There are two
roads, the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific. which insist on the cash. As for
the other roads no courtesies are ac-
cepted by the committee.
A. L. Cole, the republican nominee,
pays money for his railroad transpor-
tation and so does Chairman Cole. This
same thing prevails in the case of ev-
erv person sent out by the committee
and whose expenses have to be paid.
Said l.. f. Davis, of the republican
state committee yesterday, speaking
OF the pass question: II guess it is not
denied that some of the speakers in the
campaign conducted by both sides carry
railroad passes. We have no control
over them, but as far as the committee
/ is concerned we pay money for every
mile of transportation used. And we
have the receipts to show for it. | do
not think the other side can say or
show as much. This thing of railroad
fare has been heavy item with us, but
we do not begrudge it,
| As to passes on the democratic side,
Those in charge naturally deny the ac-
cusation OF course they would be ex-
pected to, but there are those who insist
that some in charge use them. Cover

A denial is going the ROUNDS OF the
democratic press to the effect that CO.
ernor Johnson, while member of the
state senate in 1899, did not vote
against the bill which later became a
law prohibiting the Dissertation of Ne
mortal day. According to the senate
journal of that date, Governor Johnson
was the only one recorded as voting
against the bill. The denial has APP
peared repeatedly in the country press
and the republican state committee has
gone to the trouble of looking up the
matter, with the above result.

STORIES THAT ARE TOLD.

Boston Herald: When Nathan NJ
Morse was trying the Tuckerman will
case before Judge McKim, DR.. Jelley, the
well known expert on insanity, was one
of the witnesses. One of the hypothe
teal questions asked of the witnesses
by Mr. Morse contained no less than
10000 words. The lawyer started this
pithy question at the opening of court
and closed only a few minutes prior to
the noon adjournment. The point that
Mr. Morse was endeavoring to bring out
related to the mental condition of the
testator when he made his will. This
is said to have been the longest single
law, and the answer comprised just
three words. 81 do not
