A HEALTHY MENACE.

The Atwater Republican Press
devotes ten or eleven columns in its
last issue in a frantic effort to
prove that jacobson is the only fit
man to be governor and that Gov.
johnson has forfeited all claims on
the votes of the people. We feel
sorry for George. He must think
that his readers are very dull in
deed to make it necessary to spread
out what little he has to say over
such an area Of space. The fact
that large majority of the people
are content to trust Gov. johnson
in the question of county option as
we'll as other important state ques-
tions is what irritates the Republic
an Press. If it were only the Trib-
une that thought that Gov. johnson
is the man best suited in every re-
spect of the two leading candidates
to serve as governor during the
next two years, little would the R.
P. hackers care; but they know that
a majority of the people Of Atwater
and vicinity have the same notion,
and therefore it is necessary to
whip them into line by extra sheets
of windy editorials.
The people of the state have been
humbugged by the Republican par
ty in this state often enough on the
county option question to know that
they have little to expect from that
source. jacobson received the sup
port of the whiskey and beer poll
ticians in his pre-convention fight
to do up General Young. 1t may
be possible that Jake is playing a
false game with the Dunns and the
Reeses, but we are inclined to be-
lieve that they are shrewder politi-
clans than he is.
The temperance people have no
more reason to fear the democratic
party than the republican party,
and hence they are going to choose
the man for governor who they
think bestsfitted in every respect to
fill the Office. That man is Gov.
johnson.

IRVING INDEX

Irving, Oct. 26.-There are a
number Of Irving farmers who took
stock in the Paynesville Farmer
Elevator Co., which was organized
on Friday, Oct. 16. There were 80
shareholders when the organization
took place. The new company has
bought the Atlantic elevator build
ing and commenced business Mon
day, with Albert F. Kruger as
agent in charge.
We understand that Erick Erick-
son has returned, from Dakota and
has moved on to his farm in Irving.
A class of IA young people was
confirmed in the Nordand church
last Sunday by Rev. Nordberg.
A new member was added to the
family of Martin Everson last Tues
day. We congratulate the happy
parents on the arrival of the little
lady.
C. A. Baklund, Prohibition can
didate for register Of deeds, was
around in Irving last week. He is
a fine looking man and we believe
he will be just as fine and as able a
man in that office as anybody else,
and he should not be forgotten with
a cross opposite his name next Tues
day.,
Where we all agree is that Peter
Bonde is the best sheriff the county
ever had. So please let us all as
sist him with our votes next Tues.
day, to show that we appreciate
what he has done. and re-elect him
with a big majority. And not only
that, but let US 60 step farther.
Let US elect R. w. Stanford for our
next county attorney. Altho he is
a young man, he will make a good
match along with Mr.. Bonde, and
if elected he will show the people
of Kandiyohi county that they made
no mistake when they voted fo1
him.
Do not overlook the name Of K.
IT. Rykken on your ballot but make
a cross after his name.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER %, 'O6
NEXT TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The friends of good government
have good reason to feel encouraged
at the prospects in this county for
next Tuesdays election. Every in
dication points to the fact that
there will be more general inde-
pendent voting than ever before
in the history Of the county. Gov.
johnson will sweep the county with
a handsome majority in spite Of the
combined efforts of all the party
bosses, all the county seat bankers,
and all the party-tied newspapers
to whip the voters into line for the
straight ticket. Every effort is be-
ing made to line up voters for ia
cobson. The party leaders are en-
treating, cajoling and begging the
voters to help them down johnson
in the county, but to no avail.
In the case of Sheriff Bonde,
every indication points to that he
will carry the county with a hand
some and we'll deserved majority.
He will carry every precinct in the
city of Willmar and reports from
the country indicate that there will
be very few, if any, precincts that
will go against him. The liquor
gang of this city is out in force
against him and are making extra
VACANT claims, but we can find no
substantial basis for their claims.
The other candidates on the Pro-
hibition county ticket will run we'll.
It is more difficult to get at public
sentiment regarding them, as the
interest is so intense on the sheriff S
office. All are making an active
canvass, and several of them are al
most certain to be elected.
The next issue of the Tribune
will tell the story Of the election,
and thanks to the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange, we expect to
have the complete local returns in
that paper.

William Rieff's article, in which
he finds fault with Gov. johnson
for vetoing the old settlers pension
bill, is copied in the Renville Star
Farmer, which indicates that they
are just as hard up for something
to use against Gov. johnson in Rem
vile county as they are here.
Every old settler we have talked
with on the subject said the Cover
nor did the right thing in refusing
to sanction state pension system.
This action shows that Gov. John
son had the courage to apply the
pruning knife when he thought the
case was establishing bad prece-
dent. Now. we would like Bill

Willmar tribune., 1908-10-28

In recent issue the Minneapolis
Journal INDUCED in hair-splitting
speculation as to what extent ma
tionality would influence the guber-
natorial election this year, and
figured out that large share of the
Norwegian vote that johnson re-
ceived two years ago would go to
Jacobson this year. The Tribune
does not believe that nationality
will or should cut the figure that
the Journal says, but it is evident
that this is something that would
cut both ways, if it cuts at all.
The fact of the matter is that john
son has some of his staunchest sup
porters in this county among the
Norwegians, who have been as a
rule more inclined to be independ-
ent politically than the Swedes.
Gov. johnson is the first statesman
of Scandinavian blood born in this
country land therefore eligible to
the presidency to achieve Nation
al reputation, and the people of
kandiyohi county. regardless of
nationality, will not turn him down
now, when his good record and
brilliant achievements have caught
the eyes of the entire nation. This
is a matter Of state pride. as we'll.
Small peanut party politicians can
not bear the thought Of Minnesota
going Democratic, even if it meant
the elevation Of native son to the
highest Office in the land, but the
people at large would be glad to see
Minnesota thus come to the front
in the sisterhood of states.
