bump into him and then they will
both 60 through the fence. Those who
play the political races are of the
opinion that the candidatial book
makers from the first district do not
want their entries to win first prize.
If this surmise is an injustice to the
politicians of the first district, we
apologize here and now. Whenever
we make a doubtful statement we
always apologize the same time we
make it. That saves time and the
trouble of making an apology after
wards. One thing is certain, should
Senator Lord come under the wire a
winner there is no good reason, or bad
reason either, why any loyal republic
can could not give him his cordial
and enthusiastic support. If he has
not as many friends as some of the
other candidates he has no enemies
and he would not only make a
handsome governor but a mighty
creditable one. He is trife slow but
there are lot of worse faults in public
men than caution, generalization and
deliberation.

There can be no question in the
vernacular of the sport but that
Jacobson has the pole. He could not
keep out of the race if he would, and
we do not think he would if he could.
He has not formally entered the con-
test but his friends have registered for
him.
He has made no declaration, and
has not promulgated any platform.
He doesn't have to. His record is
platform enough, and his name is an
assurance that every legitimate interest
will have fair play, and that every
scheme and schemer will get it in the
neck.
jacobson is fortunate in his friends,
but he is the luckiest man alive when
it comes to enemies. The best way to
Judge man in public life is to find
out who is feminist" him, and it
anyone desires to find out "Jake's"
character let them size up the opposi-
ton to him.
If the men who do the business OF
the state, and pay the taxes OF the
state, have their say, mis- nomination
is assured. The great paramount
issues in the state and nation in the
next campaign will be railroad rate
legislation, equality of taxation, and
control of corporations. Jacobson is
the embodiment of these propositions.
He has record on these questions:
"Tbat he who runs may read" He
stood for justice and equality
! along these lines when such posi-
ton was not as popular as it is now.
Yet he occupies dangerous position
, in the race. The field is large and
speedy, and he may be pocketed be-
fore he gets to the three-quarter post.
But whether nominated or not, Jacob
son will e5pre-eminentiy the champi-
on of men who pay their own freight,
buy their transportation. pay taxes
on all the property they own, and who
have made Minnesota one of the
greatest states in the union.

Should he sprain a fetlock or get the
distemper there will be no race on the
democratic fair grounds this year.
He will win by walking over the course
for he has no opponent. Not only has
he no opposition but he and his
hackers will name the runners for all
the congressional and minor state
positions and they will be chosen with
the sole idea of being rubbers and
spongers for John A., in the final
race that he will make with the
republican champion, 'When the
frost is on the fodder and the corn is
in the shock" just before the season
for shooting big game opens.
1t would be simply silly to disguise
the fact that whoever the republicans
select as their champion to run against
John A., will have to go like jack
rabbit for the Jollier from st. Peter is
as cunning as fox and as swift as a
greyhound. Even if he should lose
he is almost smooth enough to talk
the judges into giving him verdict
But he will have to run on his merits
this year. There will be no republican
Indians to stretch wires in the path
way of the republican racer for him tc
stumble over and break his neck.

Saxon king: "Let the contest come

Hon. John G. lund.

If anyone thinks that the Hennepin
county sports would let a meet like
the one that will be held in Duluth on
June 13, 60 by without having an entry
of their own, have two. or three more
thinks coming 1t has become quite
the fashion to throw stones at Henne-
pin, but men who want to win bear
in mind the fact that whenever this
naturally republican unity
casts majority for a democratic no.
minee that nominee has been elected.
A great many thoughtful republicans
are of the opinion that it is better to
back racer that can carry Hennepin
county than it is to pay off old grudges
and pick scabs off old sores. Henne-
pins thoroughbred is John G. Lund.
We have known John Lund ever
since as boy in knickerbockers he
played marbles for keeps in the village
of Canby-and he always had a lot of
marbles. He started out in life with
nothing, and was in debt for that, and
today he is at the head of more finan-
cial institutions than he can remem-
Der, and he could not count up the
farms he has sold in six months. He
is the real estate wizard of southern
Minnesota. He has an army of men
and women working for him, and they
all swear by him, and no better re-
commentator can be given a busi-
ness man than that those who work
for him are always loyal. He has
served one term in the legislature but
that ought not to be counted against
him. He will live this down in time.
Every enterprise he has taken up has
proved winner-even to the Lund
ball team.
We are not betting on him. We
don't think he will win the race. but
he is conner in Minnesota poll
tics, and the training that he will re-
ceive in this contest will do him no
damage.
Mr.. Lund is a native of Fillmore
county, Minnesota, and is 81 years

cONSUMpTION'S WARNING

symptoms.-DR. G. G. GREEN.
qThe aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
teligence.
qThere is no disease known that gives so
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
IIt is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
companied by frequent expectoration.
QBut no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Hon. A. L. Stephens

1t should be borne in mind that
this race is free for all. Any male
citizen who is legal voter can enter
without the payment of fee, and with
out regard to color, previous condition
of servitude, or the fact that he has
served in the state senate. Up in
Wheatland, otherwise known as the
"Famous Fertile Valley of the Red,"
they have an Indian pony that they
think can 60 some. In the busy marts
of men he is known as the Hon. A. L.
Stephens, but at home he is affection
ately termed "Handy Andy" He has
beaten everything on the senatorial
circuit, and his friends think he would
make the racers on the gubernatorial
track hustle considerable. It is ru-
mored that Handy Andy" is troubled
little with that idea himself. We do
not advise playing him for favorite,
but if large enough odds are offered
it might be good plan to wager a few
dollars by way of speculation.
Hon. George w. SommerviiIe.
Up in the second district from a
town about which there is nothing
sleepy but its name, they have a
reliable pillow horse. In the political
race book he is entered as the Hon.
George W. Sommerville.
He has no great record for speed but
as for work he holds the blue ribbon.
If he gets on the track he will have to
be pushed on, and he will have to be
whipped and spurred like the Old
Harry to get him started. He has
record for accomplishment equal to
the best of them and if he once gets
under way the rest of the gubernatorial
nags will be compelled, in the
language of the old Norsk proverb,
to eta Benene paa Nakksn," Throw
their legs over their necks) or he will
run over them.
Should Mr.. Sommerville win there

in the business of buying and selling

Kennedy, in Kittson county, and also
of Candy, Yellow Medicine county,
but for the last three years has made
his home in Minneapolis. He now
represents the forty-fourth legislative
district in the legislature. Here is his
statement. 1t sounds like him.
"To the republicans of Minnesota
