stand by the people and their interests
no matter what comes up. He will be-

Gov. Johnson's position in this
campaign may be safely likened to
that OF the circus artist, told of bv
Artemus Ward, who wanted to give a.
one-night stand in a southern COM
munity during the war. A committee
OF citizens was appointed to find out
where he stood on the then prevailing
"unpleasantness.' - "Before Won

man of the committee, "you will have
to state your principles. "Princi-

And He Wrote Another Letter.
Attorney General Young has decided
not to make an application for re-
nearing in the now famous rate case.
Ills said that T. D. O'Brien, who
lately went to Washington, in the dual
capacity of attorney for the state in
the rate case, and special ambassador
OF the johnson presidential organiz-
alton, on his return, told the Appleton
statesman (?) that ''his case, if
brought before the highest tribunal
Tor a hearing, would not have any
more show than a one-legged grass
hopper IN coop of turkeys" And
then the "smasher" of United States,
court injunctions-wrote another
letter.-Akeley Herald.

Always counts on the Peoples Side
The people of Minnesota would like
to have man for governor who can
oe dlgn1tied in speech and action as
we'll as silence.-Albert Lea Times
Enterprise.
Ihey also believe in a man that can
preserve a "dignifed silence" until
the time comes to talk. The people of
Minnesota have become weary of a
platform of promises, unless there is
behind it, to ensure fulfllment, an
honest integrity. With that essential
quality the people are satisfied that.
when the occasion arises, the speech
and action will be governed by correct
principles. jacobson talks at the
proper time and his speech counts on
the peoples side.-Rush City Post.

Largely In the Lead.
AT the present time there is no
question but that Mr.. jacobson is
largely in the lead for the republican
nomination for governor. His
enemies who recognize the hand writ
ing are trying to get him to announce
his position on some of the issues that
they are making. Jake don't have to
announce anything; his record while
in the legislature is an open book and
ne is running on that. The cry that
his record is ancient history is all
bosh. He was found at all times on
the side of the people and against the
trusts and nothing has come up since
he was in the legislature to change
him in any way. It is all right for
those who have always heretofore
been found on the side of the corpora
tions to cry "down with them" but the
people have no confidence in their
seventh hour conversion. Jake may
be little short on looks but he's
long on results.-Perham Bulletin.

The Bryan delegates were fighting
for principle. They did the best they
could and lost, but they have not
abandoned their principles. Many
Bryan men in the convention at the
Auditorium yesterday-and they
mustered l59 out of 935 on the vote to
make Bryan second choice-are not
particularly hostile to Gov. johnson.
They believe he has little chance to
win, that his candidacy is part of
The campaign that is being engineered
in the east to defeat Bryan and to
strengthen the state machine. They
feel confident that those who are
Gathering Gov. Johnson's candidacy
have no particular desire to nominate
him. He is being put forward in the
effort to defeat Bryan. They oppose
