ffGGSSss ffGGSs BEFORE EDITORS
Apper in Minnesota Editorial As
S0CiatiOn as Best of Friends,
Amid Loud Applause.

A htile harmony" scere that was
not ON the regular schedule was
enacted at the editorial association
meeting III Minneapolis last Friday.
During the latter part of the morning
session Bob Dunn, who was in the
| rear part of the room, called the
attention off the presiding officer to
the fact that Governor Johnson was
present and that it would he the
proper caper to call on him for
speech. Bob then escorted John to
the front, the two political opponents
marching to the presidents s table with
arms about each other, amid the
applause of the editors. The governor
alluded facetiously to the fact that
Bob had helped elect him and then
went on to make fine little talk
which was very generously applauded.
At it's close there were loud calls for
Dunn, and the Princeton editor came
forward and with a characteristic bow
announced that he would not talk on
harmony, for whenever he did he
raised Ned. This tickled the editors
and the applause nearly raised the
roof. Bob said some nice things
about the governor. which took Well,
and when lie resumed his seat he
was given hand with VIII. The
incident was interesting inasmuCh
as it has been understood that Bob
| felt sore at John. But Tins little by
play among their brother editors Wip-
| ed the slate off clean if there was
anything of discordant nature writ
! ten thereon. When Minnesota edi-
tors get together they are just friends
| together-political affiliations cut no
figure-and all are there for a good
time. And Bob and John" and
| Joel are about the best fellows on
earth and their brother editors are
all glad to see them get something.
Speaking of Joel, it may not be
amiss to remark that the Northfield
man may yet get into the race for the
republican domination for governor
Joel spent hali cay with MS brother
editors at the annual meeting 'a4f
week and to those close 10 tlin ne l1-
nounced thai lie was seriously cor
sidering the proposition. He has not
made any definite statement as yet
but should ne announce himself
candidate none of ''the boys among
the editorial fraternity would be sur
prised.
Jake" jacobson was hanging
around the edges of the association
the second day putting in some quiet
work He held a number of confer

shining hour. To The Herald Mr..
Jacobson expressed himself quite we'll
satisfied with the outlook MS
,rotber p Jacobson was with him
| in the capacity of buffer, keeping
the mob away and arranging confer
ences between the would-be governor
and those who wished to talk WIN
him.
Attorney General E. T. Young dio
not appear at the convention or at the
hotel where the country publishers
; made their headquarters. A good
manv of the publishers expressed
: themselves as being hostile to the
Anpleton man, though he has some

,os;tion tn wager the Young senu-
ment was in the minority
