In view of the efforts of certain
politicians in the Democratic party
of that state, and also of very few
men calling themselves Republicans,
but really looking for chance to
bolt the head of the Republican
state ticket-for money or other
wise the words of Col. R. C. Dunn,
Republican candidate for governor
two years ago, just recently uttered
are worthy of serious thot. Mr..
Dunn states that he can hear Gov.
demonstrating his political i'm
agination to talk in the strain that
if Mr.. jacobson had been nominated
by he''Republican party in all human
probability he would not have been
candidate for reelection. Then
Mr.. Dunn imagines some one in the
audience being addressed by Gov.
johnson lpropounding this query:
"Mr. Jacobson's term as a member
of the, board of control expired
after you became governor; that he
he was eminently qualified to serve
on that important board is admitted
by all; will you please explain why
you failed to reappoint him, and
appointed in his stead mere politi-
cian?" The query is to the point,
because everybody, regardless of
politics, recognized in Mr.. jacobson
the one strong man on the board of
control-the one man that fought
to run state institutions on eco
nomical lines, and who was not only
successful in doing so, but also in
telling the legislature just what was
needed. If faithful service to the
state was to be rewarded why did
not the governor reappoint the
gentleman from Lac qul Parle?
