ton of the insurance department on
a salary basis. Inquiry reveals the
fact that this resulted from a law
passed by Republican legislature
in the face of Democratic opposi-
ton.
He claims, by appointing a Re-
publican superintendent of public
instruction, to have taken this office
out of politics. But Mr.. Olson's
appointment was in fact the con-
sideration given one of the most
active politicians in the state for
his support of the Republican can
didate for governor.
He claims credit for his public
examiner because he collected
$35, 900 back taxes from the rail-
roads and is suing for $1,000 more.
Investigation shows that the bank
examiners predecessor collected
$4,000 of such back taxes and
unearthed claims for $500, 900 more,
which he left his successor to collect,
and the fact that of this only $135 900
is now claimed indicates how in
fluential railroad tax dodgers have
been with the present administra-
ton,
He claims great" credit for prose-
cutting timber thieves; but the
prosecution of timber thieves was
upon evidence accumulated by a
Republican legislature and a Re
publican governor before Mr.. John
son was even thot of as a possible
candidate for governor.
He claims credit for driving the
box-car merchant out of business,
but that was the effect of law
introduced by Marcus Lauritsen and
passed by Republican legislature
without any suggestion from the
governor.
He claims credit for increasing
the capacity of the state prison
binding Irvine plant 100000 lbs.
But the law which created the
board of control puts state prison
industries under board of control
management and Gov. johnson has
nothing whatever to do with them.
He claims credit for increasing
the valuation of the properties of
the steel trust. That was done by
st. Louis county officials.

he did to reduce freight rates was,
when prodded by a southern Mime

sioners.
These are the bald facts. But
Mr.. johnson has an oily tongue and
is not troubled with political con-
science and has so great a felicity in
making the worse appear the better
cause, that people who do not stop
to inquire are very liable to be
deceived by the apparent candor
with which he makes the most sur
prising assertions.
But mere Misrepresentation and
exaggeration, even where it reaches
the region of romance, is so often
resorted to by politicians that some
may be inclined to excuse it in Gov
ernor johnson. But a lack of prin-
ciple or settled conviction is so grave
fault in the chief executive of a
great state that it can not be so
readily condoned. These are days
when a man must have backbone,
when, once having taken a stand
for the right, he should have the
firmness and the courage to main
tain it. But that is not character
istic of the plausible and suave
gentleman who now occupies the
governors chair.
1t is we'll known that prior to the
Democratic convention Governor
johnson had all his plans laid to
conduct campaign for rate regula-
ton. He had made a number of
speeches in which he insisted that
new legislation was necessary to
give people relief from the unjust
burdens they have had to bear. He
had employed an expert for months
getting statistics for him to use in
presenting the cause of reform to
the consideration of the people of
the state. He made no secret of his
views. 1t was common property
that his mind was made up and that
rate regulation was to be his slogan.
But no sooner did political exig-
ences demand it than he turned his
back on all his fine promises and
came out with the declaration that
our laws were efficient and sufficient.
1t was the same way with drain
age. In that cause he was for years
the champion of the principle that
the northern counties should drain
their own lands. But no sooner was
it made plain to him that such a
policy would inevitably lose him the
vote of the lake region than with
the same facility with which he
turned his coat on the railroad
question he turned it on the
drainage question and has since be-
come in Northern Minnesota at least
an ardent advocate of this cause.
The same thing is true of his
attitude towards the board of con-
