The Call for Jacobson

Q6dlSnlDR CRASH, is Tue uoulduU VI
rank and file of the Republicans Of
Minnesota for Jacob F. jacobson, of
Lac Qui Parle, to become the stand
ard bearer of the party this year. ia
cobson is honest, fearless, squaretoed
and long has stood for the same prin.
ciples in government SO ably expound-
ed by President Roosevelt. jacobson
is feared and hated by Jim Hill and
the rest of the system" which long
has contracted this state for their sell
fish ends. They cannot make peace
with him like they have with Johnson
and most Of his predecessors. The
demand for jacobson comes from the
people, and the politicians tremble,
but in the present contingency it will
be disastrous for them TO fail to heed
the voice that calls. The following
are some the opinions of the state
press on Jacobson:
The movement for the purpose Of
nominating j. F.ssJacobson for gov
ernor was started in quiet orderly
way and has been growing every day
until it is no longer rumor Or expert
ment but an actual fact that the peo-
pie want him for governor. They are
calling him from every part OF the
state. He is the one standard bearer
that all look to as being able to lead
the party to victory. His record in
public service is SO far above any pos
sibility Of adverse criticism that it
proves him an efficient servant be-
You'd any possible doubt. He is not
seeking any public position and is
content to remain in private life. But
the public recognize his strength and
steadfastness, his candor and courage
and he will in all probability be the
next governor of Minnesota. This
paper stands absolutely for jacobson,
a man who is thoroughly identified
with the republican party and an
honor to it, man whose official acts
do not need to be coyered up,
but whose every act and deed marks
him as man and a statesman. With
jacobson as governor the efficiency of
the administration is assured. Let
the republican party unite on man
that can lead it to victory.-Hanley
Falls Press.
The action of Mr.. jacobson in fac
ing defeat graciously two years ago
was highly commendable and won
for him many friends who firmly De-
lieve that he should be rewarded, and
that now is the proper time to act.
They believe that he was fairly en-.
titled to the nomination at the last
convention and that is only asking
for justice in wanting his name to
head the next state ticket.
Mr. Jacobson is one of the best
known men of our state. HI made
an enviable record while aqmember of
the House, and his fight was always
for guod government and the people.
He has many warm friends through
out Yellow Medicine county who
would no doubt rejoice to see him
enter the race and who stand read
to encourage and support him along
those lines.-Echo Enterprise.
While he is not seeking any office,
and wants to keep out of the fight,
the pubic is calling for him, and if be
does not enter the fight his friends
will probably place his name before
the convention and ask for his nomi-
nation regardless of the action he
takes. This paper stands unrese1v-
eddy for jacobson, first, last and all
time. He is honest and candid, fair
minded and high minded. He has
held high public places and in every
instance has discharged his duties
creditably to all. No apology or ex-
PLANTATION of any of his official acts
would be required, for his frankness
and candor makes the reason and
necessity Of his acts equally clear.
He is thoroughly identified with the
republican party and has by far the
strongest following of any mau in
+ the state. This is the kind of man
4 that can lead the republican party to
victory next November, This is the
kind of a man that should re :eive the
nomination. This is Jacobson
