THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

The remarkable congressional cam
paign in this district by the time this
issue Of the Standard reaches Its
readers will be practically at an end.
We say remarkable campaign, for we
doubt If another like it has been seen
in the history of the country. A can
didate claimed by his friends to be the
greatest orator in the Northwest refus.

lenge TO debate the issues OF the day
with his competitor and going about
the district dealing in trueislns, plat
itudes and historical "reminiscences of
all nations instead Of dealing with
present day problems is IL spectacle
never before witnessed in this country.
On the other hand it is the matters
of here and now with which Mr.. Lar
rahee has dealt and his constant ham
mering OIL them has had wonderful
effect. And the circulation of his pub
lished speech has brought to his side
many who have been unable to hear
him. We are dispased to reverse
our opinion of last week that prob
ably there would not be time enough
before election, even with the educa-
tional campaign Mr.. Larrabee and his
friends are making to carry him to
victory. At this writing it looks "a

We hope that the people will vote
hind the other cities Of the state in
this respect. There are enough good
things ii, the new charter to warrant
its support. There are certainly
enough had things about the presen,
charter to warrant people in voting
for a change. Remember that failure
to vote in the same thing as voting
against the charter. Another reason
why average people should vote in
favor of the charter is the fact that
it is supported by the interests ell
joying special privileges under the
present regime.

RAY G. HARRINGTON FOR SENATE

RAY G. HARRINGTON FOR SENATE.
The Fifty-sixth district of this state,
comprising the counties of Swift and
Big Stone, has an excellent candidate
in the field for Senator from that dis
trict in the person OF Ray g. Earring
ton Of Ortonville. The nominee Of the
Democratic party for this important
position, he has been very successful
in his chosen profession, and is known
as one Of the leading attorneys OF
western Minnesota. Fearless and fair,
Mr.. Harrington has a splendid reputa-
ton for honesty and square dealing,
and will prove a faithful representative
Of the interests of his district IL elected
to the State Senate. A man Of the
people, he has a pleasing personality,
and is we'll liked by his fellowmen re-
CARELESS of party affiliations wherever
he is known. His ability as speaker,
so we'll known, would soon bring him
recognition in a legislative body that
would naturally prove Of untold benefit
to his constituents. If success shall
come to him at the polls next Tuesday
the Fifty-sixth district will have per-
formed its duty we'll, for Ray G. Far
rington will do well his part in the
next State Senate.

JOHNSON WILL BE ELECTED.

Today practically ends the state
campaign. For the first time in the
history o. the state Of Minnesota the
Democratic candidate for governor is
conceded on all sides to have the bet
ter CHARGE for election. In 1898 it
was known before election day that
John Lind had a good chance of cleo
ton. 1t was not, however, until after
the returns commenced to come in
that Democrats dared to be confiden,
of his election. Forty years Of defeat
and an immense Republican majority
to overcome made the task Of electins
a Democratic governor seem almost
impossible. Lind was easily elected. In
1900 it was again known that Gov
ernor Lind because of his strong per.
sonality and his aggressive admins
tration stood an excellent chance, but
it was presidential year and. notwitn-
standing the strength of the Demo.
cratic candidate, the odds favored the
Republican. Lind was defeated by a
few hundred votes. In 1904 there was
a bitter factional fight in the Repub.
lican ranks. The man nominated by
the Republicans had large personal
following and an equally bitter opposi-
ton in his own party. John A. john
son was the Democratic nominee. The
Democrats hoped for the election OF
Johnson. but they realized that Roose-
welt would carry the state by an I'M
heard of majority. They could hardly
believe that the Republican opposition
was sufficient to defeat the Republic
an candidate. The ante election pre-
dictions favored the Republican nomi-
nee, but John A. johnson was elected
by eight thousand majority, while
President Roosevelt carried the state
by $4,000 majority. Never before In
the state of Minnesota was there
such a difference between the votes
Of two candidates running on a Re-
publican ticket. In 1905 the Demo-
cratic candidate is Governor Johnson.

SECRETARY HoNAPARTE.

1t has been the custom with many
Catholic publications in the past to
support the political actions Of those
claiming to be Catholics. Much Of this
support was prejudiced and unreason-
able. The policy Of sticking to politi-
cal candidates because OF race or re-
ligion is even more detrimental to the
best interests of the country than po-
litical partisanship. Catholics should
not be led into giving their support to
an undeserving candidate simply he
cause he claims to be a Catholic. All
true Catholics have right to take
pride in giving their support to fear
less and upright public officials who
happen to be Catholics, not upon the
ground that they are Catholics, but
because Of the manner in which they
perform their public duties.
Secretary Bonaparte is an instance
of Catholic in high political position
who Is a credit and inspiration to the
citizenship of the country. He is one
of the foremost Catholic laymen Of the
United States. He is one Of the best
men ever called to the performance
OF the duties of a cabinet position. His
administration Of the navy department
has shown a fearlessness and indie
pendence that is in keeping with the
whole public and private life of the
man. He has not administered his

interests Of party bosses, but, on the

The campaign being made in behalf
of Judge Frederick V. Brown of the

WHICH, HAYNES OR JONES?

The close Of the city campaign finds
the contending candidates for mayor in
about the same position that they as
sunned after the opening Of the Demo-
cratic campaign at the Auditorium
meeting. Mayor Jones has been unable
to confine his attention to the lid
He has been kept busy answering the
speeches of Mr.. Haynes. At the Audi
forum meeting Mr.. Haynes assumed
a logical, sound and patriotic stand
He gave Mayor Jones credit for the
one thing that was good in the mayors
administration, and called him to ac-
count for the delinquencies. Since that
time Mr.. Haynes has given little at
tention to the saloon issue, although
the supporters of Mr.. Jones have
striven in every way possible to con-
fine the campaign to that issue. Mr..
Haynes gave his solemn pledge at the
Auditorium meeting that If he was
elected mayor -the saloons should re-
main closed upon Sundays. He made
that promise in plain, forcible Ian
guage. Every one who heard him be-
lieved that he meant what he said.
Some who had been active opponents
Of Mayor Jones for the nomination and
who subsequent to the primaries prom
Used support to the Democratic candi-
date became inactive after Mayor
Haynes Auditorium speech. Those who
would benefit by wide-open policy
had no choice between Jones and
Haynes after that announcement. But
Mr. Haynes made friends by that
speech and he has continued to gain
support ever since. He made 1t pos
sible for those who are opposed to
Mayor Jones but who could not stand
for a wide-open policy to support him.
Those people have accepted Mr..
Haynes promise, and they have not
been misled by the attempts that have
been made to place him in the posi-
ton Of being the candidate. of those
who support law violation.
Mayor Jones by assuming false po-
sition at the outset has lost support.
He advertised himself as the best
mayor Minneapolis ever had. He
that he enforced all the
laws and he claimed that his admins

the. best administration ever given.

dependence Of the secretary Of the
navy. 1t is only another instance of
Mr. Bonaparte's determination to get
at the bottom of things. Most cabinet
officers are content to accept the re-
ports of subordinates and approve
them. This is the easiest way for a
cabinet officer to get along. His action
in pursuing those to blame Tor the
boiler explosion on the gunboat Ben
nington in the harbor Of San Diego,
CAL, shows the fearlessness of the man
in pursuing those with great political
backing. He has proved one OF the
most inquirins secretaries that ever
held a cabinet position, and while ever
ready to give proper credit to subor-
dtnates he has not hesitated to 60 be-
yond reports and to investigate for
himself. He has not been satisfied to
act as chief clerk of q governmental
department, but has made himself the
responsible head Of the navy. He is
one Of the most trusted advisors OF
the president.
Secretary Bonaparte deserves the
support Of citizens of every party and
religion. It would be we'll If all pub
lie officials calling themselves Catho-
lies possessed the same high integrity
and fitness for public service.

addition to that he had the benefits
arising from Republican factional
fight. This year he is opposed by a
Republican nominee against whom
there is no fractional fight, but for
whom there is absolutely no popular
enthusiasm. The Republican candi-
date is a negative quantity. The DEM
ocratic candidate does not rely upon
promises alone. but upon the perform
ance Of the last two years. The last
week of this campaign differs from
every other state campaign in Mime
sofa in finding the Democratic candl-
date the favorite in ante-election pre-
dictions. The reason for this condi-
ton Of affairs is to be found in the
fact tina. the Republican leaders have
been unable to find single fault with
Governor Johnson's administration
The Republican leaders have been I'M
able to grouse any enthusiasm for the
candidate who was nominated for the
sole purpose Of preventing the nomi-
nation o. Mr.. Jacobson, who was the
real choice Of the Republican voters
Of the state. Mr. Coles appearance
upon the public platform has lost to
him support.
The stultifying efforts of Republic
an papers to whip Republican voters
into line on the plea of giving sup
port to the entire ticket, has fallen
fiat. The same papers two years ago
advised Republicans to support John
A. Johnson. They have been unable to
point to a single act Of the governor
that calls for condemnation or even
criticism. but nevertheless they ask
voters to reverse their action Of two
years ago. There never was in this
state a more groundless campaign
made for a candidate than that which
has been made for Mr.. Cole. The ap-
peal to vote for Mr.. Cole for the sake
Of regularity comes too late. It would
have succeeded ten years ago. The
last four or five state campaigns have
done wonderful work in creating an IN
dependent electorate and this is why
80 many people Of good judgment be-
lieve that Governor Johnson is to be
elected on next Tuesday. They real
ice that d man who could carry the
state when the Republican candidate
for president carried it by 10000 has
an excellent chance to be elected In a
year when there Is no presidential is
sue at stake. Governor johnson richly
deserves a reelection. We believe tina:
he will be elected. His election will
be q great thing for the state of Min
nesota, not only because it will IN
sure good government for two years
more. but because it will compel the
Republican party in the future to
nominate fit men for every position
upon their ticket. It will teach the
Republican party Of Minnesota that 1t
cannot continue to be the tool Of this
or that interest and elect its candi-
dates. The good to be accomplished
by Governor gohnson's administration
will extend far beyond his second term
of Office.
