The steed Will Hail from Lac qui Parle.
The republicans are likely to nomi-
nate "dark horse" for governor this
year. But it won't be Dan Patch,
that's certainty. Neither will it be
his owner.-Anoka Free Press.

! Confident of Jacobson's Success
Heatwole's candidacy has reached
the free-plate-to-papers stage. This is
a case where the candidate has money
of his own to pay the freight. Heat
wole's organizing ability may bother
the other candidates, but Bob Dunn is
as confident of Jacobson's success as
ever.-Little Falls Herald.

Solid for jacobson.
There seems to be no doubt what
ever but that Clay county will send a
solid delegation to the state conven-
tiOn for Jacobson. The News believes
that he is the choice of a greater num-
Der of people in the state than is any
other candidate, and the people will
probably be considered this time.-

Will Take More than Pap-suckers.
A few days ago, Gov. Johnson was
going to carry Alabama, and make a
break in the solid south, etc., but
Alabama goes right along and in
structs for W. j. Bryan, and Washing
ton and Hawaii follows suit. It will
take more than few pap-suckers in
Minnesota to make a PRESIDENT

A Small Potato.
John A. johnson will get %
votes in the democratic national con-
vention at Denver. After that he will
drop out of sight politically. His
opportunity to be an attraction on the
lecture platform has even been
destroyed by his fool friends and his
own knavery. johnson is not large
enough TO last.-Grand Rapids Re-
| view.
Judge Him bv His Record.
The Ogilvie Sentinel thinks that
Jacobson should come out with a
statement as to whether or not he has
fallen from grace. We would ask
Brother Wilcox if be believes the past
record of Mr.. Jacobson in public SER
vice would at any time allow suspicion
of his betrayal of public trust. Poll
ticians are usually judged by their
past records.-Mora Times.

He Named Four Pretty Good Men.
It is settled. Gov Johnson settled it.
He named for an eastern journal the
four greatest men of Minnesota and
here they are: G. K. Davis, Jas. J.
Hill, lgnatius Donnelly and G. G. An
drews. We are now satisfied that
Brother Mcdonald of the St. Cloud
Times speaks by the card. Gov.
johnson has his head turned by other
things than water.-Le Sueur News.
| They Overlooked Few Things.
We have before US both Young's
and Ewert's lengthy PLATFORM After
! careful perusal we find that both of
these candidates have failed to incor-
porate in their "brief" announce
ments, the declaration of indepen-
dence, the constitution of the United
States, and there is not an excerpt
from Washington's farewell address.
Why this seeming neglect. gentlemen?

Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
| We notice occasionally that certain
papers want Jacobson to issue dec
laration of principles. We also OBJ
serve that these papers are opposing
Jacobson's nomination. So far as
these papers are concerned Jacobson
could make no statement that would
satisfy them. II the only thing wanted
was promises, any man who has po-
litical aspirations could make up a
list of things that would please a
majority of the people. But they want
something besides promises. They
want to know that the candidate has a
record for doing things that will
receive popular approval. Without
detracting in the least from the
achievements of other candidates and
cheerfully giving them full credit for
all their creditable efforts, Mr.. Jacob
son has record Of accompli shments
