do if elected to Office and that was that
he believed it the duty of the executive
to properly enforce the law. Among
other things the governor mentioned
briefly the following:
I have maintained for myself and
for those subordinate to me that if it
was incumbent upon the people, the
sovereigns of our commonwealth, to
yield the strictest obedience to law, it
was in the fuller sense the absolute
duty of their public servants to yield
obedience to the law and 10y atty to the
public interest.
1t is a matter of special pride with
me on this occasion that every prom
Use has been kept; that not pledge
has been broken; that we have kept
faith with the people who reposed their
confidence in us.
I shall try always to convince the
people engaged in lumber business on
state lands that honesty is an essen
tial; that it is not cheaper to steal
timber than to buy it at legal sale.
I have positively declared for a fat
two-cent passenger fare and for the
abolition of passes. AS a result of
these declarations the Republican
party of this state for the first time in
its history has incorporated plank in
its platform declaring for these propo
sitions.
1t is a singular thing that the only
two great general reductions which
have come to the people of Minnesota
during the past half century came
under the administrations Of Gov.
John Lind and myself.
The governor of Minnesota and the
insurance commissioner appointed by
him were approved and commended by
Theodore Roosevelt, president of the
limited States, in a message to con-
gress on the insurance question, in
which due credit was given for our
interest and work for insurance re-
| forms.
Never in the history of the state has
the dairy and food department done
SO much for the development and pro-
motion of the dairy interests, and no
previous administration has made
such wonderful progress along the
lines of pure food regulation and the
enforcement of pure food laws.
The box-car merchant an Arab in
stitution-which was for so many
years, a fragrant yiolator of our pure
food laws, has been driven from the
borders of our state.
Public service corporations :
have had their valuations very ma
terially increased. More than So, 600,
600 was added to the assessed valua-
ton of the Twin City Rapid Transit
company alone.
| Prison labor should not come in
competition with the free labor of the
state. I have urged upon the board
of control the extension of the prison
Irvine plant, and the capacity of this
plant has been increased two million
pounds per annum.
Drainage, forestry and good roads
are three sister lines of state develop
ment.
Hundreds of children illegally en-
lployed have been put back in the
schools, and in all cases employers
have been compelled to comply with
/ the law.
In concluding his address the gov
|ernor said, ssHowever the people de-
|cide, as between Mr.. Cole and my.
Iself, shall not complain for in this
country the majority rules and shall
/ bow to the will Of the majority; bu1
somehow, I have a lingering hope
that upon the morning after electioI
when I take up a daily paper, shall
be able to read that I have received
