Governor Johnson not Play
ing Fair with Party

By reading the tonnage tax plank
in the Democratic platform publish
ed at the head of this page and lis
tening to Gov. Johnson repudia-
ton of this plank in the iron range
country, one would naturally infer
that Mr.. Johnson was bigger than
his party.
VIM. Jennings Bryan in his fa-
nous acceptance speech delivered
at Lincoln, Neb., Aug. IL, 1908,
said the following bearing on party
fealty:
A platform announces the par
tvs position on the questions which
are at issue, and an official is not at
liberty to use the authority vested
in him to urge personal views which
have not been submitted to the vot-
ers for their approval. If one is
nominated upon a platform which
is not satisfactory to him, he must,

SENATOR CLAPP
Makes Stirring Address
Last Evening

Senator Moses E. Clapp and
Chester A. Congdon, candidate for
representative of the 51st district
arrived in the city yesterday on
special train and were met by men,
bers of the local committee and
other prominent citizens.
The special arrived at Ais and
at S o'clock left for Winton. The
Ely High School band was taken
on board and in addition nearly so
enthusiastic Republicans from this
city accompanied the party.
On arrival at Winton the train
was met by the local committee and
led by the band large gathering
repaired to the Torinus hall when
Prof. Newberry introduced Senator
Clapp who in ten minutes of we'll
put argument said more than the
ordinary speaker would in two
hours. The senator convinced
many of the error of their ways

JACOBSON
What His Home People Say
of Him

The Taft Jacobson club of Madi-
son, the home town of Hon. J.
F. Jacobson, the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor-held a meeting
recently, attended by practically
every voter in the town, and unan-
imously condemned the campaign
of personal abuse and ridicule being
made by the Democrats against Mr..
Jacobson in a last desperate effort
to turn the tide against the Repub-
lican standard bearer. Mr.. Jacob
son S friends, neighbors and bust
ness associates adopted set of res
olutions that the people of the state
might know in what high esteem
Mr.. Jacobson is held in his home
town. The resolutions recite that
We congratulate the Republi-
cans upon the choice of Our fellow
townsman, J. F. Jacobson, as its
candidate for governor.
Several of our members are ma
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-10-30

alton, or, in accepting it, propose
an amended platform in lieu of the
one adopted by the convention"
The difference between w. J.
Bryan and Governor Johnson can
be readily seen. Governor John
son running on the Democratic
platform is either false to his party
or is deceiving the voters of the
range. Which is it?
Come right down to the fine
point of the business, Governor
johnson is a Democrat and his par
tvs platform calls for a tonnage
tax. Do you think that man
seeking the Democratic nomination
for president four year hence dare
go back on the platform? Consider.

tives of this county, born since Mr..
Jacobson became a resident of the
county, and all of us have known
him better as a neighbor, a public
spirited citizen and as a business
man that we do as a politician and
a legislator. That he is a man of
unusual native ability, sterling
honest, integrity and fairness; that
his life as a citizen and a business
man of this county has been a mod
Ell worthy of emulation we affirm
without fear of contradiction.
That malicious ISLANDERS accts-
ing Mr.. Jacobson of bigotry, sec
tionalism and lack of personal in
tegrity in public and private life
should find place in any canvas
for votes against him seems to us a
pity and sign of moral depravity
on the part of the authors of such
tactics. Throughout a long bust
ness career, with excellent oppor-
tunities for money making, his
fairness, strict adherence to high
standard of business ethics and his
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-10-30
Can you Afford it?

All the best and most responsible
business houses and professional
men in St. Louis county are on the
Jacobson side of the governorship
fight. Why should the common
voter, carried away by the person
atty of Governor Johnson, cast his
ballot against his Individual inter
ests? The Democratic platform UP
on which Governor Johnson stands
declares explicitly for a tonnage
tax on iron ore; a measure detri-
mented to this section of the state.
The governor is a Democrat and
has aspirations towards the presi-
dency. Can he dare to incur the
displeasure of the Democratic party
by declaring against the tonnage
tax plank in his platform? The
platform says a tonnage tax and
Governor Johnson is a Democrat
seeking the votes of his party on
the Democratic platform. A vote
for the Democratic ticket means
vote against your home, your town
and your family. Can you afford
it?
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1908-10-30

PLANTATION of the tonnage tax meas
tires and several other Democratic
hobbies was the most concise and
plain of any it has been Our pleas
ure to hear. The most dense
could grasp the idea sought to be
conveyed by the speaker. He also
explained the follies of the bank
deposit guarantee as espoused by
the Democratic platform and show
ed where the postal savings bank
plank of the Republican platform
would benefit. He spoke of Jacob
F. Jacobson as man of the high
est type and coming from man of
Senator Clapp's unimpeachable
integrity and character, his words

generosity have kept him a poor

generosity have kept him a poor
man.
Throughout his long career as
a leader in the legislature he has
never taken any personal advantage
of his position nor attempted to do
so. He has never taken any local
political advantage of his position
as a leader of the house of repre-
sentatives nor introduced any bills
that favored his own town, his own
county, or his own congressional
district to the exclusion of other
parts of the state. Where is there
man with a stronger record for
fairness and i1npartiality in public
life?
Assertion is not argument.
Malicious insinuation is not fair
weapon. The intelligent people of
this state will want the truth. The
puplic and private life of Mr.. Jacob
son is an open book. Let it be
searched and his triumphant cleo
ton will be the answer the people
of the state will make to the insinu-
ating political detractors in Novem-

honesty, ruggedness and capability
with the best men of the country.
P. E. Bowling, editor of the
Eveleth Star, followed Mr.. Smith
and made a telling impression. Mr..
Bowling confined his remarks to
the state issues and the issues most
mominant in the life of every range
resident. His talk on the tonnage
tax proposition was one of the best
explanations it has been our plea
sure to hear. He did not mince
words and told the truth regarding
the work done for and against this
highway robbery by the candidates
on the two tickets. He explained
the Jacobson tax measure in detail
and his explanation was concise
and easily understood. The speak
er showed that when the first ton
mage measure was introduced, the
mines were paying practically moth
ing to the support of the municipal
tiles and the state. Since then the
mines have been placed on an adj
va1oreum basis and are paying the
same as other institutions. This is
what has made the towns on this
and the Mesaba range and anything

and his argument in favor of voting
for candidates whose ideas were
beneficial to this section of the
state was a clincher. The St.
Croix and Swallow & Hopkins
mills closed at $50 in order to give
employees a chance to hear the
speakers.
At $50 the Opera House here
was crowded to the doors. Mr..
Newberry acted as chairman of the
meeting and introduced Chester A.
Congdon who in the half hour al
lotted him made a very effective
address. Mr.. Congdon will be our
member of the legislature and his
talk showed plainly, that the law
making affairs of the district are in
safe hands.
A. P. Allensworth, range editor
of the Duluth News Tribune was
next called upon and in a humor-
Gus manner put a few telling
points home to his hearers.
The next speaker was Senator
Moses E. C1app. Mr.. Clapp owns
the distinction of being one of the
most convincing orators on the
political platform today. His ex-

tending to remove these rich pro-
perties from the municipal tax rolls
would prove treason to the munich
palities in which we reside.
Mr.. Bowling drew attention to
the plank in the Democratic plat
form bearing on the tonnage tax
and showed how Governor Johnson
was insincere in making promises
contrary to the platform upon
which he was campaigning. He
drew attention to the fact that
Governor Johnson was Democrat,
first, last and all the time, and that
his campaign must be conducted
on the platform upon which he
stood.
He also called attention to the
constitutional amendments and told
his hearers that in case of doubt,
to vote NO on every one rather
than make mistake. This was
good logic and meets with the ap-
proval of all fair minded citizens.
