the voter scratches his ticket at the
top he should keep on down the line

nominees are not exhibiting any great

this proposition. This lack of har

the gentleman from Lac qui Parle.

The Democratic state committee has
had number Of townships I'm country
districts polled for the preference Of
the. voters as TO their preference for
governor. A number of returns have
been received which cOnelusiveay DO
away with the claim that jacobson is
the favorite in the farming districts.
In no instance has Mr.. Jacobson re-
ceiyed a majority In any township
polled aad In many Johnson is the
favorite by two to. one. These indi-
cate that Governor Johnson's majority
will be as large or larger than 1t was
two years ago. His friends through
out the state are invited to use every
endeavor to make it 100000 this time.

Mr.. Jacobson is the candidate of the
Republican party of Minnesota for
governor. When this state was visit
ed by the presidential Republican
nominee he was met at the southern
borders of the state by Mr.. Jacobson,
who accompanied him in his tour
throughout the state. When in St.
Paul and Minneapolis. Mr. Jacobson,
though with the party, was not of it.
He occupied position on the stage
with the speakers, but though can
didate for the first position within the
gift of the people he did not introduce
the distinguished guest, nor was he
included in the list Of speakers. The
Republican press of the state accuses
the Democratic. party of waging per-
soaal campaign against Mr.. Jacobson,
but Mr.. Jacobson has never received
from hts political opponents so pal
pable and fragrant: slight as was
offered him on these occasions. IL his
managers fear to let him be seen or
be heard by the people Of the state
how can the voters be expected to ac-
cept him as their governor or to assist
In his elevation to the exalted posi-
ton. The Democrat of the state had
no hand in this snubbing of the Re-
publican gubernatorial nominee 1t
was the work of his personal man
ayers and campaign friends. The peo-
pie of the state can draw their own
conclusions.

Oar Reese, the Republican politician
of ST. Paul, is quoted in the press of
the cities as saying that movement
has finally started toward Jacobson.
He winds up his interview by saying.
'If this movement ever does start
nothing can stop it," We are inclined
to disagree with Mr.. Reese, If this
movement ever does start it will have
to end some place, but will it start?

Minnesota has recently been visited
by forest fire which swept the range,
causing loss of millions Of dollars
in property to the residents of that
section. In commenting upon this
disaster the Pioneer Press said edi.
torially that to a certain extent Gov
ernor Johnson was at fault in that he
had not used his initiative in recon-
mending to the legislature additional
facilities for fighting fires in the
northern woods; that had Mr.. Jacob
SON been governor, with his sound,
practical sense, he would have made
provision for contingencies of this
kind.
This brings us to Mr.. Jacobson's
Legislative record, upon which he
stands in making his campaign, in the
matter Of fire protection. In the SEES
sion Of 1895 Mr.. Jacobson made a
fierce attack on the fire warden bill,
charging that the position of fire war
der was created for no other purpose
than to furnish politician an office;
that the fire warden. with his office in
the state capitol, received notice Of
forest fires by telephone and tele-
graph some days after the fires were
extinguished; and that his only real
use to the state was that of an orna-
rnent He condemned the expense of
the Office and used every means in his
power to have 1T abolished. Withsthis
record before us how can the people
believe that Mr.. Jacobson would not
act today as he did in 1895, when
there was much more timber to con-
serve than there is new AS a matter
of fact, in all of Jacobson's legislative
career, he was against appropriations
for any purpose, useful or otherwise.

o'clock this morning.
At the time of his death. although
not a ranking officer of the Confeder-
ate Veterans, General Lee was com.

firmities he has not taken an active
part in the affairs Of the organization
for many years.
General Lee was born in South Caro-
lima in 1888. He received his appoint
ment to the United States Military
academy at West Point and graduated
at that institution, receiving his COM
mission in the artillery. AT the out
break of the civil war General Lee re-
signed his commission In the Unlteo
States army and entered that OF the
confederacy. He served with the con-
federate army in Virginia until AFTER
the battle Of Antietam, when ne was
made a brigadier general and sent TO
Vicksburg.
