WHICH Will you CHOOSE Z

You are citizen Of Minnesota, and
You are proud Of your great state.
There is no question about that
course, you are, and az such. md be-
ing possessed of such pride. what
manner Of man would you choose a.
that states chief executive?
With no desire to be personal. Or to
draw invidious comparisons, let W.
speak Of the two leading candidates In
this campaign. They began life
equally handicapped as far az aspira,
lions to the position each is seeking
II concerned. They were boys born
Of lowlv parentage and each was com.
PEELED to practically make his own
way in the world. That each did this
by the rugged paths of honor 10
equally creditable to both. But here
the comparison ends. While the one
was earning his daily bread he was
delving In books and enriching hts
mind; he became q deep student and
q polished orator. He so fitted him
self that he filled all positions to
which he was chosen, wheth0f o0olat
or social, with distinguished ability.
He reflected honor upon his native
state and his name became nswa
throughout the nation. He was @aeri'
DUSTY considered as q candidate for
the presidency by one Of tho great
parties of the nation, and 1t Is freely
prophesied of him that hs will ut
attain that great eminenoo. Staralo
~ poor boy. with no Inherited ad'
vantages, as friendless - any wait OF
the street. he has become mas
whom the nation delights t6Ehon6f.
As TO the other. he. too. dslyeA- for
his daily bread. and when he grew to
manhood. embarked in mercantile Dur'
suits, In which he was more or less
successful. His friends claim for him
that he is Cracker jack" of an ealo1
tioneer; he has had some ohlcial Ok
perience, but in such he did not ex-
hibit wide libsrality or progressive
craftsmanship. What more can be
said for him7
Which of these two men, leaving
out all question Of partisan fsalty,
would you choose as governor of tho
great state of Minnesota?

EQUALIZATION OF TAXES.

When he was inaugnrated into Office
Governor Johnson promised the peo-
pie of the state that he would equalize
the burdens of taxation. That he has
done this is acknowledged even by his
opponents. Take, for instance, the
taxes of the great Steel Trust of the
Iron Range country. In 1901, under
the Van SAINT administration, the prop
critics of the Trust In st. Louis and
1tasca counties we're assessed at $24,-
G10,639 In 1904, still under the Van
SAINT administration, the assessment
Of the Trust was, In round numbers,
s44 100000. Under Governor Johnson's
administration this assessment value
has been increased to $195,000.000.
The burden of taxation has been re-
moved from the shoulders of the farm
ers and placed upon the great Trust
Of the iron ranges. ;
Az an Illustration Of just what this
mems to the taxpayers of the state
we would call attention to the fact
that during the ten years preceding
Governor Johnson's Inauguration az
governor the iron range country paid
into the state treasury in taxes the
sum of s515,000; during the past year
this same territory paid into the state
treasury in taxes the sum of 100000.
If the farmers of the state appreci-
ate this service it is up to them to re-
elect Governor Johnson If they do
not want the Steel Trust hampered by.
just taxation then they should defeat
Johnson-they should declare against
"diyided responsibility" and return to
the old order of things: when CAM:
paign contributions were accepted mi
lieu of taxes paid into the treasury.

A vote for Governor Johnson is a
vote to reward faithful public serv-
ant who was not afraid to take the
side of the people. A vote against
Governor Johnson will be a vote
against the best interests of this state
and against the interests of the man
who stood by the farmers of Mime
sofa.
Governor Johnson has been a con-
sistent friend of the twine industry at
the prison, as is shown by the large
increase in it's output since he as
sumed the Office of governor, in the
face of opposition whore opposition
was least to be expected. and he has
shown himself a friend of the farmers
in his advocacy of the harvester plant
at the prison. Not only are these
statements true, but his attitude on
these two questions has helped mate
rally to reduce to the minimum tho
prison competition with the free labor
of the North Star state. &
