Duluth. which until after June
I5t, will be the centre of political
interest. that at both the leading
hotels Everybody has secured
room for headquarters but Jacob
SON. What does jacobson need
of headquarters? Everybody
knows that headquarters" are
opened for the purpose of trading
official positions-and other things,
for votes of delegates.
jacobson isn't that kind of a
candidate. He is pledged to treat
every part of the state fairly in the
matter of patronage and to give
every legitimate interest an equal
show. He is no dickerer or politi-
cal trader. We do not believe he
would pledge the Office of Governors
messenger to secure the nomination.
If we believed he would we would
not support him. The men that
will 60 to Duluth supporting
Jacobson cannot be smoked or
drunk into supporting any other
candidate. Politicians for revenue
will not support "Jake" on any
terms, so what is the use of him
opening headquarters.
One of the bowling absurdities
of the campaign is the fact that a
candidate who is making a special
plea for estate Development has
opened up headquarters at theRyan,
pronounced by the elite ''Rheahn'')
hotel in St. Paul. In fancy we can
see troops of Minnesota Home
steaders and multitudes of lumber
jacks from Northern Minnesota
calling at the Ryan, taking rooms
at four dollars day, ordering
Champagne at five dollars bottle
and highballs at twenty-five cents a
piece in order to boom his
candidacy. We can see that same
crowd at Duluth, filling the
corridors of the Spalding and Hotel
st. Louis, clad in their ssMackinaws''
and with their "Corked" shoes,
shouting for man who has the
political acumen to open up head
quarters in the hostleries that they
always patronize.
Jacobson may have made an
egregious blunder in not opening
up headquarters in the Ryan at St.
Paul where the wheatmakers of
Central Minnesota could meet him
amid the luxurious surroundings to
which they are accustomed. He
may have made stupendous mis-
take in not securing headquarters
at the Hotel St. Louis and Hotel
Spalding and stocking the same
with Havana cigars and fine wines,
but it don't look that way to us.
If Jacobson is nominated it will be
by men who smoke pipes, drink
beer, pay their own fare TO Duluth
and pay their expenses while they
are there. Jacobson's candidacy
has not been paralleled since the
days that Cincinatus was called from
between the pillow handles to become
the ruler of nation. The people
demanded his candidacy, all the
other candidates are asking the
people to support them.
There isn't posted politician in
Minnesota but knows that Jacobson
is the personal choice of a majority
Of the republicans.
Everybody that is up to snuff
knows that the multiplicity of
candidates that have sprung up is
for the purpose of doing him up BY
raising the "favorite son" cry.
With the exception of Senator Lord
of Dodge County and Senator
Sommerville of Brown, there is not
a candidate in the field that
Jacobson would not beat and beat
easily in his home county on a
popular vote.
Jacobson may or may not be
nominated but he will at least have
the satisfaction of knowing that he
has made the best. showing at the
least expense of any gubernatorial
candidate that has ever offered him.
