Governor Johnson's persuasive oratory
is the biggest asset of the democratic
campaign, and he has been making the
most strenuous efforts since Sept II to
reach as large a percentage of the voters
as possible. In the time from his Red
Wing speech, Sept. IT. to Nov he will
have addressed more than fifty audiences,
and his own estimateaat headquarters the
other day was that he would speak to
$4,000 people before the close of the cam
patgn. OF that number probably $4,000
will be voters, or nearly one-sixth of the
voters in the state. -. #1+:
The republicans have been doing more
team work, and haves not relied so much
on one man. A. L. Coles physical condi-
tion did not permit him to start out at
such rapid gait as his opponent He
has kept going however, speaking once
or twice every day since the opening at
Kenyon, and before the close of the CAM
paign fhe! will have made personal ap-
peal 'toj4o,ooo Or $4,000 people.
In reply to Governor Johnson's claims
of friendship for the cause of drainage,
the republicans haveadu up the record to
show his opposition to drainage when in
the legislature. The Grindeland bill es-
tablishing the state drainage commission
passed the senate March a. 1899, and the
vote given on page 594 Of the senate Jour-
oiiOWS OH the maj passage OF
the bill Senator johnson voted ..No,"
along with several other southern Minne-
sofa senators who had the idea that
drainage was like the tariff local issue.
| The governor has Learned since that the
reclamation Of swamp lands belonging to
I the state is a matter Of consequence to
every taxpayer In. the state But in the
days when this idea was winning it's way
he was an "anti."
Some independent voting of the kind
not relished by democratic managers is
going to be done lin northern commune
ties, where A. L. Cole is we'll known per-
sonally. A sample of this is the case Of
G. W. Collins Of Walker, a democrat
who says he considers it the duty of Mr..
Coles friends and neighbors to disregard
political considerations and give their
: support to a man they know, and whom
they know they can trust. He Is openly
for Cole, and so are a number Of demo.
Gratis in Morrison, Crow Wing, Cass and
Hubbard counties, where the candidate is
personally known -.
/ The st. Cloud Journal Press says:
/ The democratic papers are trying to make il
appear that the American Book company is
backing Cole for governor. They base this con.
tent1on on the allegation that r. w. Cranston
| VAN 10 a iepTtSeuldplVe OF tnat~ company. Is Il
| supporter Of Cole. It so happens that Cranstou
was years ago a teacher in the public school OF
st. Lawrence county, New York. A. T. Cole
was at the same time superintendent of schools
Of OF mat county, and he gave the Cranston boys
| their frst certificates as teachers. They have
|abeen good friends all these years, and Bob
I Cranston has always been republican. He IS
1 supporting Cole as a republican, and as an old,
/ rlsne Trend: y As to- the American Book com
very close friend of Dick O'Conner Of st.
Paul, and would not be displeased with the re-
+ election of Governor johnson. y
/ Another Indication that the democratic
4 campaigners are hard up for material to
use against Colesfs the story that "Jim
| Hill favOrS Cole" The foundation for
this is that New York banker who was
boyhood friend Of Mr.. Coles wrote to
his friend, ]. T. Wyman.. in Minneapol
expressing his esteem for: Mr. Cole and
4 his hope that he's would be elected Mr..
j Wyman sent copies Of the letter to BUSH
ness friends over the state. The writer
i of the letter is an official in a New York
bank, of which Mr., Hill is a large stock
( holder. That is scertainly going a long
way; around the barn to trace a, connec-
ton between Hill and Cole :
Judge John A. Lovely presided at Sen
i ator Nelson's meeting in Albert Iiea-la st
evening, and made talk for the state
ticket. That means a good deal, both in
Freeborn county and in southern Mime
4 sofa. Judge Lovely was first nominated
and elected to the supreme bench In 1898
as republican, but was defeated in the
1904 convention for a denomination. to the
great disappointment Of his many friends.
He was at once nominated by the demo-
Gratis, and while he took no active; part il
I the campaign his influence was for John
son. Since his retirement from, the. bench
Ehe has told his friends that he and Gov

years ago, and neither. Is In debt to the

to work in the republican ranks for Cole
! and the rest of the ticket.
