Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1906-04-14


The merchants of Redwood county organ
lied an association last week in order to have
the benefit of cooperation in the contest with
mail order houses. This is movement that
merchants in every county OF the state SHOULD
take up, both for'the benefit of themselves and
of their communities.
T. Alan Bede made humorous speech i'll
Congress this week advocating the division OF
Texas into four states, with governor and
eight senators. If Bede is anxious to help
out insipient senatorial ambitions, why don't
he see if Minneapolis can't be separated from
the rest of the bread and butter state, and thus
be enabled to get a much desired senator?

John Lund, of Minneapolis, has announced
himself candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. Mr.. Lund is one of
the best advertised men in Minnesota and APP
pears to be good business man. but during the
last session of the legislature he did not make
a record either particularly good nor particular
Iy bad did he gain any reputation for cour-
age and independence. The Republican party
has many stronger men than Lund.
Julius Block made formal announcement of
his candidacy for the Republican nomination
for governor last Saturday. During the years
that Mr.. Block has been state treasurer, he has
had no particular opportunity to bring himself
before the people OF the state. He is orator,
as is the other ST. Peterite who at present occu-
pies the gubernatorial chair, but is man of
good business judgment, and the platform
which he enunciates would commend him to
the people of the state.
Julius Schmahl, of Redwood Falls, of
the candidates for secretary of state was in
Morris on Thursday looking after his interests
here. Mr.. Schmahl is entitled to the support
of Stevens county in the state convention, not
only because he is a resident of the seventh
congressional district, but also because he will
make excellent secretary of state. AS chief
clerk of the House during three regular and one
special session, he has proved his ability
public official. The seventh district has two
prominent candidates for state office, Jacobson
for governor and Schnahl for secretary of state,
but Mr. Schmahl is not allowing his candidacy
to interfere with Mr. Jacobson's interests.
Hon E. J. Jones of Morris in a talk with the
writer one day this week stated as his opinion
that the Republican convention at Duluth on
June 18th would be just such meeting in it's
persone platform, candidates and general
behavior as every loyal republican of the state
could wish for, and that the platform and nomi-
would receive the hearty endorsement of
the rank and lie of the party. Mr. Jones was
non committal as to his preference for any par
tcular gubernatoral possibility but in
CJined to the opinion that )acobson would re-
ceive every consideration, and should he make
an active campaign, might be the nominee.
Mr. tones takes an optimistic view of the situa-
ton and predicts republican success all along
the Ine,-Starbuck Times.
"When I vote, put my best clothes and
nv top hat go to the polls, salute the officers
take off my hat and cast my ballot Such, as
told by Andrew D. White in his autobiography
was the declaration of Prof. Este-von Fuertes, a
scientist from Porto Rico, once on the faculty
Of Cornell university. Drawn to the United
States by an ardent love of Liberty, the ordin-
ances of her temple were in his view too sacred
to be participated in otherwise than with rev.
erence and dignity akin to that which charac-
f.rizes the behavior of the Christian at the holy
communon Such conception as this OF the
