own signature in his own paper, the
Sank Centre Herald, Thursday, was
not unexpected.
The candidacy of his fellow towns
man, G. M. Sprague, for lieutenant
governor, put him out OF the running
the day it was announced, and Eddy
is not one OF those that would de-
liberately butt his head against stone
wall. Then, again, Eddy was never a
candidate in the full sense of the word =,
though he made no effort to head off
the numerous nice things his fellow
editors were saying about him. he
only smiled when the matter was
mentioned to him, and that smile
meant much.
There is not a better advertised
weekly paper in the state than the
Sank Centre Herald, certainly none
better edited.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Frank M. Eddy in a recent issue OF
his paper states in signed editorial
that he will not be candidate for
governor this year. Mr.. Eddy's deci-
sion will be regretted by many who
hoped to see him nOmlnated.-St.
Hillaire Spectator.
1T IS OUR BLuNDER AND JULIUS CAN
The Redwood Gazette mails this
ticket to its mast:
Theo. Roosevelt for President.
Joel P. Heatwole for Governor.
A. D. Stephens or for Lieut..
Reciprocal Bill Nolan Governor
Julius A. Schmahl for Secretary OF
State.
We have suspicion that the Gazette
would be willing to compromise on
any of the above candidates ex-
cept Secretary of State.-Sauk Centre
Herald of March 8.
The above squib called forth warm
letter from the brilliant editor of the
Redwood Gazette. He stated that the
ticket as printed above and credited
by the Herald to the Gazette was a
part of an advertisement, and was in
no way, shape, or manner, endorsed
by the Gazette. That no one connected
with the Gazette was in any way re-
spOnsible for it. That it was paid for
by the inch the same as any other adj
vertisement. We make the correction
most cheerfully. We are constrained
to say, however, that we think from
the position in which the ticket was
placed, our mistake was very natural
one. We have no desire to misrepre-
sent anyone, and least of all, julius
A. Schmahl, whom we have known
ever since he wore kwickerbockers,
and who is one of the hustling, work.

JACOBSON AND DRAINAGD.
Frank Eddy's declaration for
Jacobson will be bitter as gall to some
of his friends, who have been con-
demning Jacobson as an enemy OF
drainage, at the same time they were
insisting on Eddy's nomination. To
lose their candidate and at the same
time see him boosting their pet
aversion must be an unpleasant ex-
perience, to say the least. The War
road Plaindealer, one OF the original
Eddy sheets, said only last week that
the city papers were showing freind-
ship to Governor Johnson by favorable
mention of Jacobson. ''They KNOW"
said the Plaindealer, "that Eddy would
defeat Johnson, and they do not want
Johnson defeated" Eddy himself
seems to take different view of the
prospect, and thinks Jacobson the
man to do the business. Minneapolis
Journal.
The editor of the Herald was one
of party that met in Breckenridge,
Minnesota, good many years ago at
which gathering the drainage idea was
created. We would not support the
best man in Minnesota if we believed
he would oppose a legitimate drainage
project or in any way oppose the
development of northern Minnesota, a
part of the state where we have lived
most of our life and where we have
always met with substantial support
and where our interests lie. Jacobson
has opposed in times past some
drainage schemes but he never opposed
a legitimate drainage project. We
