A Most Remarkable Run.

A study of the election returns on
the governorship contest makes one
thing stand out pretty prominently.
That is, that Robert C. Dunn must be
tremendously strong man throughout
the state. Single handed and alone,
with half the party leaders knitting
him, with little or no campaign funds,
he carried the state and went into
Hennepin county with plurality. It
was only his opponents vote in the big
city of Minneapolis that robbed Dunn
of the governorship.
This year, with party leader rec
ognized as strong, with all the old
time wheel horses lined up again and
the party united" the candidate runs
behind JDunn's vote by more than
10000 according to the figures avail
able last evening when this item was
written. Honest Bob Dunn was
certainly strong with the people and
the present vote on governor, together
with a remembrance of the things he
had to contend with, will satisfy most
anyone that Dunn made az most re-
markable run two years ago.-Long

RETROSPECTIVE.

Minnesota has ever been loyal to-
the national republican ticket. The
electoral vote of this state has invari-
ably been cast for republican candi-
dates for the presidency and vice
presidency. At every presidential cleo
tion the republican electors received a
majority of all the votes polled, save
in 1892, when Harrison's plurality
over Cleveland was only 81, 9O3-Har-
rison lacked 1884 of having a ma
jority of all the votes cast. The vote
for president in 1892 was as follows:
B. H. Harrison, R. 1872 1923
Grover Cleveland, D. 1O092O
Weaver fusion vote) 49, ..... 1O7.O77
James B. Weaver, PEG .. 293l3
John BldWell, Pro. .... . 14,182
Had the democrats and populists
effected a complete fusion in 1892, the
OACSuO1d1 VOtc VI Gu0 SGdC0 would nave
gone against Harrison. But 29,3l3
middle of the road populists refused to
support the fusion electoral ticket, and
the republican electors had a small
plurality.
At the first election in 1857 Henry
II. Sibley received II, 100 and Alex
ander 1850 votes-a majority of 24O
for Sibley. John Lind was the next
democratic governor after Sibly.
From 1859 down to 1886 a
majority of the voters of the state al
ways voted for the republican guber-
material candidate. In other words.
from 1859 to 1886 every republican
candidate for governor received ma
jority of all the votes cast at each
election. The following table gives
the total vote for every gubernatorial
candidate from 1886 to 1904 inclusive:

FOR VALENTINES DAY
The Heart Hunt and Other Amusing Games and

If you have a Valentine day party
you will serve refreshments, and the
idea of the day of hearts and love
must be carried out as far as p" :

A very pretty way to send yo, ;
guests to the dinins-room is to have
some pink flowers in two separate
baskets, pink carnations for the boys
and pink roses for the girls for pink
is the special color Of the god of love.
Write beforehand on small cards the
names of some famous lovers Of his
tory and Action. fastening the cards
with the names of men to the carna
lions and those with the names Of
women to the roses. Such names
should be selected as Romeo and
Juliet. OrlaS 10 and Rosalind, Hamlet
and Ophclia, Petrarch and Laura,
Dante ard Beatrice, Leicester and
Queen Eliz. beth, John Alden and
Priscilla, GU zen Victoria and Prince
Albert. and 30 on.
Then as each boy takes a carnation
and reads the name on the card, ha
must find tie card with the CORE
spending rose card; that is to say
Romeo must find Juliet, Orlando must
find Rosaiind. and so on. and they GO

II buttons, or little work basket, as
ne will have to learn the use of them
in his bachelorhood.
Another game appropriate to the
day Is Broken Hearts" Cut out II
red cardboard as many hearts, about
six inches across, as you will have
pairs Of guests. Then, with sharp
shears, cut each of these into many
small pieces, square, crescent shaped,
wedge shaped, and so on, keeping the
pieces of each heart separate from
the others by putting them into an
envelope.
Now, from different colored papers
cut small hearts, two Of each, and put
them into two bowls. The Players
then select one each, the girls from
/ one bowl, the, boys from another, and
the boys then find their partners in
the girls who have, hearts matching
in color those they have selected.
The envelopes are then distributed,
one to each couple, and they must
try to put the pieces together to form
perfect heart. The two who first
do this stand up and are crowned with
red roses made Of paper, as this was
a classic honor bestowed upon Cupid,
the god of love. If you prefer, the girl
may be crowned with roses and the
boy with laurel wreath.
This diversion IS especially good
fun. Get sheet of heavy cardboard,
twenty-five or thirty inches square,
and draw on it as large heart as
you can. Then cut the heart out
and cover it with white muslin to
strengthen It; it may also be braced
at the back by strips of wood.
Around the edge of the heart paint
a border in green, about three inches
wide, which Of course, gives you the
outlines of green heart. Inside this
paint black heart of the same width,
and again a third In yellow, a fourth
In blue, a fifth in red, and in the cen
ter bull's-eye of gold paint, leaving
a space Of white Imprinted.
Having prepared as many arrows as
there are guests and gilded Cupid's
bow Of classic shape, set up. the heart
as a target at the end of. q long room,
from which you have removed as
much Of the furniture as possible.
Dress a small boy as King of
Hearts in a coat of turkey red, with
knee breeches cut at the knees in
points and covered with hearts of
red paper. He should have collar
Of three hearts, the points fastened
to q band around his neck, and he
should also have cloak Of hearts or
covered with hearts. A crown Of gilt
paper, with a heart in the front, will
complete the costume.
Cupid, the King, presides at the
target, and, as each guest shoots his
arrow. recites or reads one Of the fol.
lowing couplets, according to the col
or hit:
II your arrow hit the red.
You will very shortly wed.
