SOME P|cK-uPs

In last weeks issue OF his paper,
the Sank Centre Herald, Frank M.
Eddy definitely announces that ne
will not be candidate for governor
this year. In the same issue Eddy
SAYS that in his opinion the best man
so far suggested for the governorship
is Jacobson, "the fearless fighter for
fair play" concluding with this dec
laration: "We do not care a straw
what course others may pursue, but
until the convention is held we are for
Jake for governor. IF Eddy's num-
erous political friends all feel the
same way, Jacobson may show Lord
or Block thing or two-Lanesboro
Leader.
Frank Eddy comes out in his last
issue and notifies his followers that he
will not be candidate for governor
this year. There is no mistaking his
meaning as he is emphatic and square
toed. He as openly supports Jacobson
in the following: "We do not care a
straw what course others may pursue,
but until the convention is held we
are for "Jake' for governor. After it
has been held, we are for the nominee,
and any good, honest republican is
good enough for us. "-Breckenridge

The political sensation last week
was the withdrawal of Frank M. Eddy
from all connection with his possible
nomination by the Republican party
for governor OF Minnesota. OF course
Mr.. Eddy was not candidate for the
office. But he had so many friends
who were pushing him for the honor,
and the movement in his favor had
grown to such importance that he felt
justified in taking cognizance of the
same, and of nipping it before it
should become any stronger. Mr..
Eddy said last week that he is not a
candidate for governor, and that his
name would not be presented to the
convention. He said, cit behooves
the Republican party to put forward
it's strongest candidate in this fight.
I do not think | am that man." In
an editorial Immediately following
his announcement of withdrawal he
places himself and his paper, the
Sank Centre Herald, on record as
favoring the nomination of J. F.
Jacobson of Lac qui Parle county as
the best man for the place. Mr.. Eddy
calls him the "Uncle Joe Cannon" of
Minnesota.-Saturday Litchfield Re-

Hon. Frank M. Eddy takes occasion
to say in the last issue of his excellent
newspaper, the Sank Centre Herald,
that he is not candidate for governor
of Minnesota and that his name will
not go before the Republican state
convention. He believes some other
man can fill the bill to better advantage
and then goes on to state that his
candidate for the position is Hon.
J. F. Jacobson of Madison. Frank
has pretty level head and is always
ready and willing to give the party of
his choice the best service there is in
him. The party would be better off if
it had more men of the Eddy Stripe
Hancock Times.
F. M. Eddy says he does not want
to be governor, but comes out in his
paper, the Sank Centre Herald, in
favor of Jacobson. Unselfishness is
is virtue as precious as it is rare.
Mr.. Eddy may yet be Governor Eddy.

In the last issue of his paper the
Sank Centre Herald, Ex-Congress-
man Frank Eddy, makes the state
ment that he is in no way to be con-
sidered as candidate for the nomi-
nation of governor by the Minnesota
republicans this year. Mr.. Eddy is
one of Minnesota's ablest sons and
would grace any position which light
be rendered him. Ever since the
campaign of 1904 his name has been
prominently identified with the gov
ernor's office and he was no doubt for
time receptive candidate, but his
withdrawal can be accepted as final,
and will help clear the political atmos-
phere. At the present tim there are
only two avOwed candidates for the
place at the head of the ticket-Sena-
tor Sam Lord and State Treasurer
Julius Block. ]. F. Jacobson has
many friends throughout the state and
his name has been freely. mentioned,
but as yet the Lac qui Parle statesman
has not taken them into his confidence
by making either public announce
ment of his candidacy or a withdrawal
of his name. The Standard is and
has been friendly to Mr.. Jacobson,
but just the same we are of the opinion
that it is time for him to get out of
the woods by declaring his Intentions.

| Hon. Frank M. Eddy does not wish
his name to be considered as q
candidate for governor, and in his
usual frank way tells why. His
declination of the honor many would
have liked to see bestowed upon him
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
Read it. The article is manly and
courageous. It shows that Mr.. Eddy
has lost none of that common sense
which is so characteristic of him. Mr..
Eddy's time will come as sure as the
rising sun, but it is not here yet, and
the brainy editor of Sank Centre
knows it better than many of his
supporters seem to know it.-Rosseau

Frank M. Eddy in last weeks issue
of the Sank Centre Herald asks his
friends to cease booming him fol

Eddy comes out strong for the support
of the candidature of Jacob F. Jacob.
