jacobson. The people here have, taken
his measure and are fully satisfied.
He sizes up with men who possess
brains and ability. He is near the
common people. He has their confidence
and will not betray it.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Mr.. jacobson has warmed himself into
the hearts of the people of Mankato
and he will receive their loyal sup
port from now on, and he will be ac-
corded the full republican vote and
more here on election day.
There is nothing the matter with ia
cobson. He is all right.

FRANK DAYS ESTIMATE.

Frank A. Day, Governor John :
sons private secretary, said this
of Mr.. jacobson, two years ago:
Jacob F. Jacobson, the Lac
qui Parle commoner, was the :
almost unanimous choice of the
rank and file of the republican I
voters. In direct primary he
would have received easily three I
fourths of the republican votes. :
The people have confidence in
Jake. He is honest and unpur- :
chasable. He was never controll-
ed for a minute in his life by
the interests and he refused to
bend the frequent knee that
thrift may follow fawning.' I
Because Of his high political :
ideals Mr.. jacobson was not :
wanted as a candidate by the
designing politicians and corpor-
ations looking for immunity for
past offenses and opportunity for
future aggrandizement." What :
Mr.. Day said of MI. Jacob
son two years ago applies now.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1908-10-23

Now that election day is near at
hand, Frank Day has put his con-
science in cold storage for few
days. Something startling can be ex-
pected to emanate from the state de-
mocratic headquarters most any time.

audience that jacobson don't dare take
a. position on any important state is
sue or question" That sound amusing,
coming from man who has not
made his position plain on any subject
in which the people are interested.

"Mr. Day is not so liberal with his
praise now"
This brought forth more enthusiasm
and it was quite evident that Mr.
jacobson was making staunch friend
and ardent supporter of every one of
his hearers.
His Citizenship.
Continuing, Mr.. Jacobson said that
the latest think Mr.. Day had thrown
out to prejudice people against his
candidacy was to question the fact
that he was citizen of the United
States. Replying to this Mr.. Jacob
son said, with broad smile:

And a fresh burst of cheers and
hand -clapping shook the opera house
At this juncture Mr.. jacobson said
that he wished to call attention to just
one more thing-the fact that salary in
creases out of proportion with the ser,
vice rendered by certain state APP
.pointees. Perhaps some in the audience
were informed that certain appointees
were drawing salaries of : $4,000 and
$4,000 a year, when their duties would
be discharged in better manner by
a clerk at a salary of $1,000 per an
mum. Mr.. Jacobson announced his pur-
pose to introduce bill making salary
increases legal only when a new APP
pointee entered upon an office. "You
won't find many of them lobbying to
have the salaries of their successors
made better than those they draw
said Mr.. jacobson, with twinkle
and we may be able to save the state
some money, or at least prevent the
salary increases which have already
reached $3sO,OOO from reaching the mil
lion dollar mark. II q ,g@
