The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-10-28

The writer was rather criticized at
first because he did not take any
stock in that fierce party demand
that johnson run again or that he
was forced to accept by his party
against his own wishes. This paper
said then it was very thin. That the
whole thing was staged and re-
hearsed by Day-McDermott ct al
and there was no real Democratic
party call for johnson. 1t repeats
now that Johnson is only running to
keep the party machinery in the
hands of Day. To those who still
believe that the party abducted"
johnson we would like to point out
that outside that little crowd Of Of
flee holders no Democrats are out in
the field for him or are doing any,
thing to elect him further than a
very quiet support. If The Gazette
readers will only consider how I'M
reasonable it would be, after stam-
peding the convention in wild de-
lirium and shouting for an hour all
the delegates should go home and
hold hardly public meeting for
him; organize hardly club for him
and in short do none Of those things
a party always does for the leader
they are enthusiastic over the full
force of that convention becomes as
clear as day. It was fake from be-
ginning to end. worked up by and in
the interests of a mighty limited
number of Office holders and with
the least possible support from the
party at large.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-10-28

The Gazette likes the governor and
wants him to have fair treatment
and therefore asks that his speech
be listened to. He is coming to this
town to justify the scores OF repub-
licans who have voted for him twice
and to ask them to be repeaters. He
is in honor bound to show them some
results for the public good that he
can get through that Jacobson will
or cannot obtain. Give US the list,
Governor, so that we may look 1t
over and investigate between your
speech and the election. What is
YOUR program? If we elect you will
you stay in St. Paul and attend to it?
If elected again what Of local ap-
pointments? Will the present bunch
represent you another two years?
What laws will you demand from
the legislature? What is your po-
sition on county option?
These are definite matters. Such
are the points Redwood county wants
discussed. Z It's not a literary adj
dress, but one on state government,
and those are. the matters we want
to know about before Republicans
can be expected to stay crazy over
your personality.

It's close to election and voters

It's close to election and voters
should cast the ballot for principle
and not because of prejudice. Throw
aside prejudice and look at the mat
ter squarely and then explain to
yourself what good reason there is
for voting against the man who
wants the people to settle the license
question. Many think the sentiment
of the farming class is as favorable
to license system as are those living
in towns. Whether they are or are
not has nothing to do with the prop
osition. They paw the bills and
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-10-28

One cannot go through the twin
cities without being impressed that
there is a very well-defned feeling
that Jacobson is gaining rapidly
there. His record is such that it
invites support. His character has
emerged from the scrutiny of voters
without stain. The same causes
that are sweeping the rural counties
are telling in Minneapolis and ST..
Paul. Unless there is a check to
the Jacobson tide the country will
not have to overcome that big 10000
majority. 1t can do it and elect
jacobson handsomely besides but
from present appearances the ma
jority outside will be velvet"

For years Redwood has not had an
aggressive school house campaign.
This was not the fault of the chair
man in those years for it had grown
to be an impossibility to get more
than eight or ten out to the school
house meetings and there was no
call for them. This year the COM
mittee could keep a dozen speakers
busy every night, as the calls are
coming in from nearly every school
house for meeting. If Johnson
wins out in Redwood it will not be
because of Indifference and an ac-
tive campaign has always brought
out the Republican vote.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-10-28

Outside the awful appointments
for Redwood county which Mr..
Keefe has stood for there is nothing
in his past record The Gazette will
question. They are certainly rank
and he will be the first one to admit
it. But he is even further wrong
on his stand not to allow the voters
to settle the license question. 1t
belongs to them; they pay the bills
and are taxed to pay them without
any representation. Taxation without
representation has always been hate
full to Americans.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-10-28
WHO PAYS THE FREIGHT?

The model saloon league says that
a reform is necessary in the saloon
business or it is doomed. That crime
has been sheltered and encouraged
in few of the worse ones and it has
brought discredit to the whole bust
ness and the public is tired of paying
the bills from criminal cases which
are originated in the low doggeries
and slums of the trade. This is an
admission from men who are trying
to stem the temperance wave which
is sweeping away the business in
many places and is threatening it in
all.
This statement comes from the
friends and not the enemies of the
saloon traffic and we think no one
will claim it is not justified by the
facts. We cite this statement, not
with approval or as representing the
views of this paper, but as admission
that the saloons have made expenses
in creating or encouraging crime
and pauperism that the public have
to pay. The traffic pays a license
fee which in this state goes to the
village where it exists; it makes ex-
penses which are almost entirely
paid by the county where it does
business.
Local option gives the village
which makes money out of it the
sole voice in determining whether
it should run or not; county option
allows the county which foots the
bills to settle the question. Mr..
Keefe would deny the. county any
vote at all; Mr.. Bendixen would al
low them to vote on an equality with
the village which makes the money,
Which plan do the farmers favor!
There is only one way in which they
can express themselves and that is
by voting for one or the other at the
next..coming election. Both are fine
fellows and good citizens but they
stand for different principles and
both of these cannot be right. Mr.
Keefe appeals entirely to the self
interest of the voters of the villages
and Mr.. Bendixen appeals to all who
stand for fair play.

ognizing an issue that is worth while
when it sees it. 1t refuses to go
along with those who are wilfully
blind. And as the issue is a moral
issue it not only wants to be on the
right side itself, but it wants the
Republican party to be on the right
side, Its efforts have been directed
and will continue to be directed in
this direction. If it would force any
one it would force the Republican
party to throw overheard those of
its leaders who are the tools and in
struments of the liquor interests,
and take its stand against those who
seek to make the Republican organ
ization play second fiddle to the
liquor combine. Ultimately that is
what the Republican party will GER
tainly do

When man is in a corner it is
sometimes amusing to see him dodge.
One voter says he is going to vote
against Bendixen because he wants
state wide prohibition. We never
heard that Keefe was in favor of
that policy but this particular voter
seems to think that he had given a
reason for voting for him. Just
how such a vote is to usher in the
millennium dawn of state prohibition
is hard to explain.

GIVE US REASONS

Mr.. Johnson is falling down and
falling down hard. There is no doubt
about it at this writing. He is max
ing a whirlwind campaign and his
meetings are we'll attended, but the
resultant whirl is bringing republi-
cans every day to their senses-and
back to the support of the head of
the ticket.
The one question Gov. johnson
has not yet been able to answer is
the one people are fiocking to his
meetings to have explained and this
is: "What advantages do you offer
to the republican voters Of this state
if again they bolt their ticket and
give you the third term?" And the
governor shas not yet promised a
single advantage and has not pointed
out one thing accomplished because
they have twice bolted
He says that good legislation has
been enacted-by the republican
legislature; that good work has been
done--by the republican attorney
general. Yes, but were not both
willing to do that work; were you
forced to appeal to the people to
get those results? Would it all not
have been done had you never been
born? Did you make either of them
do any of it?
Had there ever been a contest in
which, as in New York or Missouri,
the legislature had refused to pass
reform legislation and you, by any
appeal to the people have forced it
through, you could justly claim the
credit, but there is no such case and
you and the people know it. The
governor will soon be here. Let him
point out one fight for the people
that compares with the fight for the
"Y" bill or the open elevator sites
that stands to the credit of Jacob
son and he has given reason why a
democrat should vote for him; if he
can show more results than can ia
cobson he then and not until then
has given reason why a republican
should support him.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1908-10-28

AS final word before election,
The Gazette would call attention to
the fact that the Republican nomi-
nees on the county ticket passed
through severe testing last Sep
tember, land so far as Republicans
are concerned, that test ought to
settle thesmatter. Bearing in mind
that the opposition candidates re-
ceived mere handful Of votes at
the primaries, the primary system
would seem something worse than
imperative if the nominees who re-
ceived a plurality of ninety per cent

these things point to a substitution

Jersey City Physician Tells of
Remarkable Case of ChiId's
Fertilization.
BABY HAS BEEN SLOWLY
OSSIFYING SINCE BIRTH
Only Eight Cases in the Country
Have Ever Been Reported
to Science.
Especial to the Evening stsr.l

JERSEY CITY, Dec 3--Dr. Karl H.
Goldstone of 279 York street, Jersey
City, last night created sensation at
the regular meeting of the Hudson
County Medical Association, in Lin
coin Hall, Jersey City, with state
ment that he had under supervision a
case where a child six weeks old Is
showly turning to stone.
The child is Benjamin Gordeu, of $40
East Tooth street, New York. The in
fant suffers extreme agony from the
disease and cries practically every min
ute that it is not asleep.
The disease is one that is very rare
~ met, but eight cases ever having
been reported by the medical profess
sion The disease is known as soleroma
neanatorum and Is produced by the
fatty tissues becoming congested until
they become hard as stone. The ex-
isting cause is chilling of the body at
birth. the child's temperature being 81
degrees Fahrenheit as compared with
9S 6-10 degrees, the normal temperature.
DR.. Collisions is the medical director
of the chldren's clinic of the Mount
Sinai Hospital, New York. Last week,
while DR. Goldstone was working in
the clinic on visiting day, worried
mother carried in baby less than six
weeks old. In applying for treatment
she said that four days after birth she
noticed that the childs legs were be-
coming hard like stone.
This condition. she said, had steadily
increased until the child's limbs, both
nd the
trunk and face. became solid masses of
frozen flesh. rigid and cold to the
touch.
The case has attracted the attention
of doctors all over the country, many
physicians applying for permission to
examine the case.

Leases Manhattan House and
Will Move from West Or.
ange This Week.
NOT HERE TO ANSWER
RETIREMENT REPORT
Senator's Cousin NOn-Commit.
tai at Query as to Possible
Permanently of Change.

State Senator Everett Colby, leader
of the New Idea wing of the Repub-
lican party in New Jersey, has leased
private house on the upper west side
in New York city and he and his fam
lily will move there from their fine
home in Llewellyn Park, West Orange
probably tomorrow.
This led today to a report that Sem
ator Colby Noroposed to abandon his
New Jersey residence and reside per-
manently in New York, and possibly
continue there his political activity.
Senator Colby is in Cleveland Mrs.
Colby said today that it was true that
they had taken large house in one
of the west sos, Manhattan and
would move there this week, but she
Colby proposed to live permanently in
New York.
Gardner Colby, cousin of the senator,
and one of his advisers, said that the
senator would live In New York al
least through the winter. He said that
the house had been leased and the
family would move this week, but as
to the permanency of such residence
only the senator could speak.
Senator Colby was defeated for re-
election last month and this was re-
garded by many as a death blow to his
reputed gubernatorial and United
States senatorship ambitions. He was
sorely disappointed over his defeat and
openly accused the Regular Republican
organization of treachery to him.
