GOVERNOR J0HNs0N'S ELECTION.

The reelection of Governor
johnson by the largest plurality
ever given a democratic candi-
date for the Office, and by one of
the largest pluralities ever given
a republican gubernatorial can
didate, is purely a personal VIC
tory, and any who. try to read
into it a breaking up of party
lines in Minnesota are making a
mistake.
Mr.. Johnson was reelected
because he was Mr.. Johnson, an
eloquent, cultured, genial gentle
man whom the voters had known
intimately for two years and
whom they had. come to like.
Mr.. Cole falls far short of the
democratic leader in personality;
he lacks magnetism, and that
pleasant, friendly smile and
hand shake and 'show.do-do"
which distinguish the present
governor; and he lacks the power
to win mems sympathies and
their votes through an appeal
from the platform.
OF course, if there had been
any real issue this year these
personal qualities would not have
counted as they did; get the
voters to thinking and discussing
some question of state policy
and personalities are forgotten,
to a large extent. But where
there is nothing much at stake
except whether the Office shall
be held by a republican or q
democrat, the men themselves
are bound to be the issue.
AS far as the republican party
in Minnesota is concerned, it will
continue to be the dominating
force. It will continue to roll no
big majorities for worthy repub-
lican presidential candid ates; it

HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
Lieut.. Dashiell Saves Trouble For
Yale And Harvard.

Nale's determination To have hr.
Paul Dashiel act as an official at to-
morrow 5 game with Harvard came
within an ace of caneeling the contest
and precipitating another rupture be
tween the great rivals.
Harvard objected 20 Dashiel some
time ago, when the officials were first
broached, but Yale laughed at these
objections and insisted on nashiei
figuring in the game in some capac-
ity, principally as umpire. Harvard
refused point blank to consider
Dashiel, and cited instances where
Dashiell had treated the Crimson
rather poorly.
Yale did not care what Dashiell had
done i'm the past and her determi-
nation to force Harvard into accept
ing him was prima facie evidence
that Yale wanted him in the game 60
effect complete vindication. Bill
Reid, the Harvard coach. realized
this. and So did the other Harvard
men, but they have splendid team
behind them this year and did not
care TO risk any more defeats.
In consequence of this determination
the rival committees met at Spring
field. Mass, Monday night and tried

were chosen, bat Yale insisted that
Dashiell should be the third. Reid
and the other Harvard men objected
strenuously, but this did not seem TO
bother the Yale representatives. FL
nally Reid lost his patience and told
the Yale men they could have until
noon time Wednesday toname an Off
ciaI other than Dashiell, and If this was
not done Harvard would not go to
New Haven TO meet Yale.
As several members of Harvard S
athletic committee were at Spring
field with Reid aud concurred with
him in this threat, Yale sat mp and
took notice. They refused 10 do moth
ing about the matter Monday night,
but Tuesday evening Mr.. nashiell sent
out statement to the effect that he had
decided To retire permanently from
officiating at big games, as the coach

envy this season is the most secretive
that has ever been held here, not
even naval officers and midshipmen,
except those directly connected with

1t is rumored that Head Coach Paul
Dashiell and Field Coach Gshes have

possibilities of the new rules in some
ways which those connected with
other teams have not worked out. It
is thought that some of these plays are
the ones which are being SO carefully
guarded.
Trainer AlcMasters is being congrat-
ulated on the excellent condition of
the members of the Navy team as the

substitute is out of the game on ac-
