PLATFORM ,ENOUGH.t

When'J. F. Jacobson was asked if
he would announce a platform, the
bluff, rugged old war horse replied:
GAS to that, I can only say that l
have been in public life in this state
for at least twenty years, and have
made a record, such as it is. If that
record is not a better indication OF
what am likely to do if elected gov
ernor than anything I can say at this
time, then I neither deserve nor want
the nomination.
These few terse sentences from the
lips of j. F. Jacobson mean more
than a column platform composed of
meaningless phrases, stale platitudes
and glittering generalities. Mr..
Jacobson's record in the Legislature is
a good enough platform for him to
stand on. It contains but few shakv
planks.

murrers interposed by the attorneys
for the Pioneer Press, Dispatch ana
Daily News in the action brou ght
against these. papers by the state of
Minnesota for publishing details of
the hanging of Williams in violation
OF the John Day Smith law. The at
torneys make issue in each action that
the law is unconstitutional, and they
seem to be borne out by the fact that
article l, section of the constitution
provides that ''the liberty of the press
shall forever remain inviolate.'' An
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court. It is generally believed that
the prosecution of these suits at the
instigation of Governor John was in
stituted purely for political purposes.

ST. PAUL DISPATCH ALENDACITY.
Under date of April 18th a Ham
line friend writes the publisher of the
"Dear Bob: I am aware of the fact
that you are not a constant reader
of the Dispatch, hence I enclose you
clipping taken from today's issue of
that delectable sheet.''
Here is the clipping referred to:
Those who have been belittling the
talk of possible gubernatorial can
didate in r. G. Dunn possibly have
not heard of conference between the
Princeton man and a political friend
at the Merchants hotel the night be-
fore the republican state central COM
mittee meeting. Calling this friend
aside, Bob put the question to him
point blank: "What would you say
if I were to be candidate AGAIN."
Repeating Bob's question to friend
afterwards this particular party said:
81 told him fiat he could not expect
any support from me because I be-
lieved such a thing suicidal both to
him and to the party. told him."
added this party, "that had been his
friend and had worked for him, and
that intended to see that he got what
he wanted at the committee meeting,
but I'd be d. if I would stand for
any more of it,
The above is as devoid of truth as
it is of sense. No such conversation
ever occurred between Bob Dunn and
the imaginary friend at the Merchants
hotel or elsewhere. The Dispatch is
degenerating. It formerly employed
clever artistic liars to edo politics, !"
but the cheap, callow kid who manip-
ulates the political rot column of that
paper today is a bungling, coarse
prevaricator:' %%'@@

TWO MODEL CANDIDATES.

I.
Joseph M. Hackney has filed for the
republican nomination as state sena-
tor for the. thirty seventh senatorial
district, which includes all of the tenth
and eleventh and part of the eighth
ward of St. Paul, and the country
towns of Ramsey county. For the
past two years Mr.. Hackney has ably
and honestly represented the tenth
ward in the city council of st. Paul,
and his record in that body is beyond
criticism. He is one of the brightest,
cleverest and most progressive of St..
Paul's young business men. Hy-
pocrisy is foreign to his nature. In
all his dealings he is square and
above board, and his word is as good
as his bond. The voters of the thirty
seventh senatorial district will make
no mistake in standing by Joseph
M. Hackney at the primaries in Sep
TENDER, and at the polls in Novem-
Der. If he is nominated and elected.
as he certainly ought to be, there will
be at least one member of the Mime
sofa state senate whom neither lobby
lists nor demagogues can influence or
control, and whose vote will always
be recorded for what he believes to be
right and just and for the best inter-
ests of the state.
Another splendid man who has an
nounced his willingness to serve in the
state senate is Edmund S. Durment
who has fled as republican candi-
date for the thirty sixth senatorial
district, which,, includes the aristo-
cratic seventh ward of St. Paul.
What a blessing it would be to the
state if it's hi CHER legislative body was
composed of such sterling men as
Joseph M. Hackney and Edmund S.
Durment.

r., Serious Blunder of Catalogue House.

dered some of his favorite purgative
pills from Chicago mail order

wife planted the liver pills from which
she expected to garner bouquets OF
fragrant sweet pea blossoms, but the
poor woman will be disappointed.
