THE OFFICE OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

There is evidence that more care will
be taken in selecting lieutenant gov
ernor of Minnesota this year than
usual. In the past the place has been
given by conventions to the man who
seemed to want it the most, or whose
locality needed ''sop." 1t has been
the custom to consider the lieutenant
governor as kind of fifth wheel in
the state machinery, a convenient
shelf for man without further politi-
cal ambition, and the counterpart in
our state administration of the vice
president at Washington.
All this is incorrect, and the truth
OF the matter is beginning to dawn.
The senate of the United States names
its own committees without consulting
the vice president, who occupies the
role of umpire at the senate sessions,

MISREPRESENTATION

Hon. Frank Eddy recently came out
in strong editorial in which he ad-
vocated the raising of gigantic cam
paign fund of $50, 900 or 900 with
which to "educate'' the people to vote
for a republican candidate for governor.
The ink of Franks proposed frenzied
finance scheme was hardly dry before
the Minneapolis Journal sprung him
| for chairman of the republican state
central committee. When it is con-
sidered that the democratic state
central committee expended less than
$40, 900 in the great contest OF 1904, in
which they overcame an adverse
majority of 10000, the extent and
character of this movement to debauch
the voters and corrupt the election will
| be understood.
So get ready for another Doodle
campaign. It's comiug.-xartin
| County Sentinel.
1t would be difficult indeed, to crowd
more Misrepresentation into a single
article than the above, clipped from
the usually fair Martin County Senti-
mel. We did advocate the raising of a
campaign fund of $4,000. We advo-
Gated raising it by popular subscrip-
ton. We stated every dollar should
be receipted for, and that every dollar
expended should be accounted for as
rigidly and accurately as the accounts
of a national bank are kept. That
after the campaign is ended these
accounts should be open to the in
spection of every citizen.
Under these conditions the most
obtuse person can readily see that the
corrupt use of money is impossible.
The Sentinel boasts that not more
than Sic, 900 was expended in the last
democratic campaign. Who furnished
it, and how was it expended? The
Sentinel can answer this question if
it will, but it won't.
1t is just as corrupt to spend one
dollar corruptly as it is one thousand.
1t is the manner in which money is
spent that constitutes corruption and
not the amount.
Another pertinent query arises in
our mind. Whom is the Sentinel
afraid we will corrupt? We are not
liable to 60 out and purchase votes
that are for us already. Is the Sentinel
so fearful of the supporters of it's own
party that it is afraid they will desert
its principles and candidates enbloc il
some one bangles silver dollar on a
string before their eyes. Speaking for
the republican party. if there are any
republicans on the market the quicker
they are bought the better it is for the
party. Democracy is welcome to buy
them if they think it is good invest
ment. There may be few but we
refuse to believe there are many. We
do not, at any rate, propose to follow
the example OF the Sentinel and plead
guilty before an indictment is read.

but does very little else. The Mime

out does very little else. Inc MINNIE
sofa state senate does not name its
committees. The lieutenant governor
names them, and exercises exactly as
much authority in the upper house
as the speaker does in the larger body.
The senate, being smaller organiza-
ton, is more easily controlled by
special interests, and has been the
favorite graveyard of legislation not
wanted by the corporations. The
common mode of killing such bills
has been by smothering them in COM
mittees denying them chance at
light and air on the floor. The less
publicity in such business the more
comfortable for the executioners.
The retiring state senate incurred
much popular disfavor by such meth
ods, and all over the state there are
mutterings which herald renovation.
It is just as essential to have the lieu.
tenant governor right as it is to have
the senate right. During the time he
wields his authority, there is no more
powerful or important officer in the
state, and the selection of the man
should be attended with the greatest
care and deliberation. No candidate
for the office should be considered who
has not proved himself in full llsympathy
with progressive legislation, and inde-
pendent of any special influence. If
the right sort of men do not offer them
selves as candidates, they should be
drafted.
The lieutenant governors power does
not end with naming the standing
committees. That is most important
function, but there are many times
when the wielder of the gavel has it in
his hand to make or mar a measure.
Especially In crisis when the two
houses disagree, is he given special
power. He names the conference COM
mittee which represents the senate, and
these conference committees practically
determine the form of the bill finally
adopted.
Another fact, not to be forgotten, is
the possibility always present of a
vacancy in the governors chair, which
will place the administration of the
state in the hands of the heir apparent,
the lieutenant governor. 1t should
be plain to Minnesota republicans that
their choice for this position must not
be made in any off-hand way, and
must not be made at the dictatiOn OF
any special interest desiring to shape
legislation. minneapolis Journal.

Aitkin Republican.
The papers were busy last week
telling why Senator Hawkins of Du-
luth and the iron mine region should
not be lieutenant governor. And the
reason that he would have control of
all committees to appoint them, is
reason enough. He was at all times
on the side of the steel trust and other
corporations in the sessions of legisla-
ture. We will stick to c.. M. Sprague,
at least till they put up man who is
far superior to Mr.. Sprague and when
they do we will let everybody know
it.-Wells Forum.

WELL QUALIFIED

MIR. Sprague is a man peculiarly
we'll qualified for the position for
which he is now a candidate. He is a
man of brilliant character, good
parliamentarian, an eloquent speaker,
and man of great business and
executive ability. He has had a
vast amount of experience in public
affair, particularly on the state board
of equalization, on which he served
eight years, and has been president
four years. He is man whose career
has been clean and whose reputation
is spotless. He is man of gentle
and kindly disposition, easy to ap-
proach, and belongs to, and is one
of, the common people. All these
excellent characteristics fit him for
the position for which his friends
have urged him to become candidate
and he would prove a strength and
power to the entire Republican ticket.
