1.-The steam roller makes no
votes!" shouted a delegate at the
recent Republican convention, when
objection was raised to the nomina-
ton of candidate for railroad COM
missioner not on the regular pro-
gram. The truth Of this is likely to
be realized by all parties next Nov
ember. The people of this state
have become so accustomed to in
dependent voting the past two state
campaigns, that voters will have to
be shown that candidates are right
before they will vote for them. This
is particularly true as to railroad
commissioners. If the people find
out whom the railroad companies
want for that office, they will line
up for the other fellow, regardless
of party.

When Congressman Hammond and
next Governor j. F. Jacobson threw
bouquets at each other at the old
settlers picnic last month, it prob
ably did not occur to either that lat
er on in the campaign they might
be stumping the state as rival can
didates for governor. But already
this very contingency is being dis
cussed. jacobson has already been
nominated by the Republicans and
the Democratic manipulators are
casting about for a popular candi-
date to head their state ticket and
know that Congressman Hammond,
the only Democratic congressman
from Minnesota, is one of their best
vote-getters.

Republicans and as rule its voters
in general are pleased with the
unanimous endorsement by the con-
vention of Secretary Schmahl and
will ratify that action at the polls
next November without doubt,
and for the state ticket as VIII ole

The Gazette greatly regrets that
it was misled last week in regard to
the 4th of July celebration at Nor
gan. The report was freely clrcu-
lated here and we understand was at
one time under consideration at
Morgan, but on account of previous
announcement and money and time
already expended in making the Gel
ebration success, the citizens de-
cided to take no backward step in
the matter. We need not say that
any thought of injuring or reducing
the attendance at Morgan was en-
tirely foreign to The Gazette
writer. We don't believe in trying
to advance home interests by spread
ing false reports about our neigh

farmers in this county for their
champion. 1t is doubtful if a 40
horsepower traction engine could
have pulled our honest Cincinnatus
from his pillow into politics for the
mere chance of getting the title
Hon" tackled in front of his name.
But once aroused to action as cham
pion in the fight against the licensed
saloon, George will hitch his wagon
to the star of Prohibition and we
shall see his flowing whiskers
streaming out in the van of the pro-
hibition hosts like the white plume
of Navarro. And his nomination in
dead earnest would be no joke, eth
err, backed by voters in sympathy
with his views and knowing him to
be absolutely trustworthy.
Suppose that the friends of the
licensed saloon in Redwood county
can control 40 per cent of the vote
of the county and can divide the an
ti-saloon vote into two separate
camps, with candidates for county
option and prohibition respectively.
With third candidate presumably
on the Democratic ticket-out for
license, the voters would be very
likely to divide on the temperance
issue regardless of politics and the
result might work out on this basis:
For license 40 per cent, county op-
ton SO per cent, Prohibition % per
cent. The answer representative
pledged to stand pat on high license.
The problem get the conserva-
tive and radical temperance elements
united on one candidate.

The good citizens Of Redwood
Falls are properly proud of the work
done by certain active citizens in the
matter of blazing the way toward
making the Chautauqua a success.
Giving all due credit to Mr.. Coe, the
local representative of the manage
ment, for the pleasant way in which
he has co-operated with the various
committees, it remains to be said
that the citizens have been not less
interested in making every effort
for the comfort of visitors from
abroad, with view to real hospital
ity and giving the town good name
abroad. All of our citizens are in
practical agreement on the import
ance of making the enterprise a
a success, and for that reason, fail
ure is absolutely impossible, though
at this writing the curtain has not
yet rung up for the opening day.
The unity of spirit and of civic pride
is something already realized, and
the rest will follow as natural con-
sequence. We heartily agree with
our Marshall contemporary, The
Messenger, in the proposition that
there is no comparison between the

contribute to the solution of the
good roads problem. Some power
is needed other than horse power
to operate road graders and haul
gravel on country roads. Threshing
engines are being used for these pur-
poses. In the town of Cannon City.
just east of Faribault, on what is
known as the middle road a, thresh-
ing engine is being successfully used
this week to operate a heavy road
grader. The road officers hired Mr..
George Durland and his threshing
engine. He hitched the engine on
a road grader and did excellent
grading along the road for distance
Of three miles.

Standpatism is not a good word to
conjure with this campaign. The
new deal sounds better. We seri-
ously doubt the wisdom of the ma
jority of the recent Republican con-
vention in squelching the proposition
to give the people a chance to ex-
press themselves in the matter of
county option. They are bound to
do it any way, and the declaration in
the platform to enforce the laws as
they stand comes pretty near being
meaningless to voters who are arous-
ed on the county option proposition.
Already we hear the mutterings of
the coming storm, and it is apparent
that many lifelong Republicans will
come to the polls determined to ex.
press their temperance sentiments
in some way.

It must lift a great load off the
minds of voters in the second dis
trict to learn that James 7. McCleary
heartily approves of the platform
adopted at the Chicago convention.
Coupled with his important an
nouncement is the statement that
Mr.. McCleary will probably file for
nomination for congress early in
August.

benefits to a town of Chautauqua en-
campment as against street fair or
carnival The carnival has fallen in
to pretty general contempt wher-
ever it has had its run, but the
Chautauqua spirit is increasing
all over the West, and this popular
ity will insure the repetition Of the
Chautauqua encampmeut here on
an increasing scale from year to
year, as the people become better
informed in regard to its benefits.

The Redwood Watershed.

Lyon County Messenger.
The early residents of Lyon
county, and even up to within a few
years, regarded the springs around
Lynd and along the present course
of the Redwood river through Rus
sell and the town of Shelburne. as
the source Of the river, and so they
were. In fact, until late years the
river could hardly be traced far be-
yond Lynd and the nearby springs.
The maps Of the county made a few
years ago outline the course of the
river through Shelburne township
from it's south central line, but with
in the past two years the watershed
of the Redwood has been principally
from a westerly course, with Dead
Coon Lake in Lake Stay township
as it's main feeder, and Dead Coon
Lake, whose diminutiye size was not
of sufficient Importance to find a
place on the county map, gets it's
overflow from Lake Benton in Lin
coin county. Naturally the city of
Marshall, being on the banks of the
Redwood, with it's settlement abut-
ing the river banks for its entire
length through the city, and span
ming the river with seven bridges,
gets the greatest damage from any
serious rise of the river. Formerly
the Redwood from Marshall to it's
source was diminutive affair, and
most of our citizens have seen the
bed of the stream absolutely dry be-
tween Marshall and Lynd. Of
course in late years there has been
plenty of water at Marshall and be-
low, by reason of the numerous city
power plant, mill and other artesian
wells have been sunk, hence an un-
usual body of water coming down
from above is more seriously regard
ed than in former years. 1t is evil
dent that the city of Marshall will
soon have to take some action to dis
pose of surplus water in the river.
Regarding this matter we find the
following suggestive article in the
Tyler Herald:
Since the outlet of Lake Benton
has been damned up there has been
considerable damage done to prop
erty along the creek running be-
tween Lake Benton and Dead Coon.
A year ago in the spring the break
of the dam washed out all bridges
in the town Of Marshfeld and flood.

vote-getters.

The expected happened at the Re
publican state convention last week,
and unless all political signs fail, J.
F. jacobson will be the next govern
or of Minnesota. And unless the
whole long record of J. F. jacobson
in public life is reversed, Minnesota
will have governor a little nearer
the common people, in common can
dor and honesty, than it has had for
some years. Perhaps nothing better
in the line Of sizing up our Jake"
has been done than the nominating
speech of Frank M. Eddy:
1.-The candidate may be unfortun-
ate in the man who is to present
him." he said, Il am fortunate in
deed in the candidate whose name |
present. His private life and public
record proclaim his worth, and the
voter who doesn't know his name is
enveloped in an ignorance so dense
that | cannot hope to penetrate it.
He was a rough rider when the
manswho made that synonym for
honesty in politics was riding a hob
by horse. He stood for the square
deal" long before the man who made
that phrase famous had quit playing
in alleys. He had not only stood
for the square deal,' but for an
honest shuttle and straight cut,
without which square deal, is not
possible. Upon the public record of
this state he has blazed his name.
He has stood for what he thought
was right with persistence and
courage.
''The choice of Minnesota republi-
cans has already been made in their
hearts. The only charge that his
opponents have been able to make
against him is that he eats pie with
a knife.
MAY we not hope that working
representative of the workers will
accomplish results in contrast to the
three-suited, kid-gloved apostle of
of mastery inactivity. We offer
him just as God made him for a
rough, rugged, ready sort of man,
and we would not have him different
if we could. Nominate him, and
Minnesota will take her place as a
republican state at the right of the
line.
ut is superfuous to name him.
You all know who he is. Twill only
paraphrase a famous couplet, and
say,
"'If you ask US where he halls from
We've but one reply to make
He comes from Minnesota,
And the people call him Jake.'''
