9. M sprague Announced for Lieuten-
ant Governor in frank Eddy's Paper
Governor Johnson's Speech Per
h. sonal Platform FOR 1906.

& " IL Il f.s
is a candidate for lieutenant governor.
His announcement appeared today In
the Sank Center Herald. Mr.. Sprague
is q well known banker and pioneer
business man, and has been chairman
of the state board of equalization for
the last two years, He was not reap
pointed by Governor Johnson. A sig
nificant fact is that the announcement
is made in Frank M. Eddy's paper,
and that sprague for lieutenant, gov
for governor. The announcement says:
The unanimity with which my
friends, both of the public and the
press, have commended the suggesting
of my candidacy for lieutenant gov.
ernor leads me to, infer that should my
name be presented to the next republi-
can state convention as a possible nom
inee, It would meet with favorable con
sideration. Should the nomination be
rendered me, I will certainly ac-
cept 1t.
iii Speaking today of the Sprague an
nouncement, Wallace G.. Nye said:
have known @. M. Sprague for nearly
twenty years and regard him in every
way Asplendidly equipped for the posi-
tion for which his friends have been
urging him and which he now expresses
his Willingness to accept. He is one
of the pioneers of northern Minnesota,
has been successful in business and has
always been an active republican, al
tho never seeking official position for
himself. That he has hosts of friends
and admirers turnout the state is shown
by the very general commentator OF
his candidacy by the press of the state
He would make an able. impartial pre-
siding officer for the senate and would
deal fairly with all the diversified in.
terests of the state. =
Governor johnson. has been heard
from before on the railroad rate prob.
lem, but his speech last night was the
| first occasion On which he has gone
into the question with facts and figures
| and presented instances of discrimina
| tion. It is not possible for the gov
ernor to raise railroad issue in the
| present campaign, as republican leg
islature has ordered a general reduc
| tion Of rates, which the railroad com
mission is at work on. His criticism!
might imply a lack Of vigilance in tn,
past, but there is no difference Of opin
ion as to what ought to be done, be
j tween republicans and democrats to
day.
1 In his declaration for municipal own
ership, the governor made himself sole
with the Hearst wing Of the party
which has been inclined to distrust hi
principles as too conservative. The mu
nicipal ownership issue is going to b
!, big thing in the city campaigns thi
year, and sthe radical democrats viii
make it a test for every candidate
F. G.. Winston s was the only dissentin
voice at the Jefferson club dinner tn
other evening, and it is evident that
municipal ownership platform will no
, make johnson many enemies anon
democrats. Charles B. Cheney.

Charter or Rules, Which?

The nlandamus proceedings to COM
pei Mayor Jones to ratify the lighting
contract, turned very little upon the
merits of the contract and much upon
the construction of the charter as to
whether the council is compelled to
pass contracts by resolution or whether
it has discretion to pass them by mo-
tion. If the discretion is found to be
in the charter, then the council may
exclude the mayor from participation
, in the larger part Of the financial OPP
erations Of the city. 1t may make con-
tracts binding the city to immense out
lays and no officer have the power to
review the business in transit. More
over, it would compel the mayor to be
an unwilling witness to many acts Of
which he disapproved. j.
It could scarcely have been the in
Y tention of the charter to charge the
mayor with the power and responsible
ity of seeing that all other city off
GERS performed their duties properly
and then charged him with the duty Of
signing things which his conscience told
him were wrong. Either the mayor had
#the veto power in the estimation Of the
Mframers Of the charter, or he did not.
DIFF he did, it cannot be limited by a
Eprivate law Of council. IL he did not,
Ethen large part Of the responsibility
& for seeing that other city officials per-
s form their duty is vacated.
It is true that his compulsion of
other officials is to be exercised thru
nandamus, at least mandamus is men.
toned; but if the mayor, by a veto
can accomplish the same thing by a
shorter process than mandamus, then
the spirit Of the charter favors his
supervising the work Of other officials
first by the parliamentary method Of
veto.
The main point is that if a broad anc
reasonable construction of the charter
awards the veto power to the mayor
no rule of the council can take it from
him, either directly or by negation
The council must make its rules tx
conform to the charter. The charte
cannot be made secondary or subser
B Went to the rules.

"a Street Railway Suggestion.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
AS the street railway company has seen
fit to display cards In the cars urging
passengers to press the button directly
after the car leaves the street next before
the one at which they wish to alight. I
would suggest that the next thing to do
is to put In the yestibule some kind Of a
bell which will keep on ringing until the
motorman opens the gates. My expert
ence is that pushing the button as soon as
you leave the street next before the one
at which YOU wish to get off results often
in the motorman's forgetting that the bell
has been rung by the time he reaches the
next crossing. ~. F. r.

More PHILOSOPHY.

Lovers Of self admit Of no rivals.
Often confession is owning up when
you are sure to be caught. Sometimes
conservatism is simply radicalism in it's
dotage. Those who are five minutes
late do moro to upset the order of the.
world than all the anarchists. There
never was good enemy who would not
make a better friend. To remain in
good health drink golden grain belt
beer, serve it regularly with your meals.

is fortunate, indeed, that Minnesota is
