Upon material well-being as a
foundation must be raised the struc-
ture Of the lofty life of the spirit,
if this nation is properly to fulfill its
great mission and to accomplish all
that we hope and desire. The things
of the body are good, the things in
tellectualbetter, but best Of all are
the things of the soul, for, in the
nation as in the individual, in the
long run it is character that counts.
Let US therefore, as people set our
faces resolutely against evil, and
with broad charity, with kindness
and good will toward all men, with
unfinching determination to smile
down wrong, strive with all the
strength that is given rs for right
eousness in public and in private
life"

While the returns were not satisfac-
tory to the champions of either side
on account Of the close run made by
Bendixen and Keefe in this county
and for the two gubernatorial can

given here, and much credit is due
the Minnesota Contractor furnishing
their service without cost to the
public.
The Gazette was held up until
Wednesday noon this week in order
to be able to furnish its readers a
satisfactory story Of the result Of the
elections. We fear that we shall not
be able to state. definitely the result
on governor at this time, as a con-
siderable number of the counties of
the state have furnished only partial
returns and it is probable that the
result will not be definitely known
until late today, though the odds al
this time are favorable to johnson
by a reduced majority.

Of one of the most adroit and pleas

and winning. The writer, stiff
Republican from inheritance, asso-
citation and conviction was drawn
and attracted very strongly to the
governor. While criticizing and
differing with him in most of his
claims he felt proud of him all the
time. One thing is strongly to be
commended. The speaker does not
leave any bad blood behind him nor
stir up feuds to rankle long after
the campaign is closed. The final
sentences of the speech were like
string of pearls and the writer for

hearing and joined the unterrifed"

IT'S CHARACTER THAT COUNTS.
President Roosevelt Works in This Idea
for thanksgiving.

The annual Thanksgiving proclaim
alton is apt to deal in glittering
generalities, but for this year our
President reminds the people of a
fact that they are prone to forget
in times of prosperity. He says:
with nation, as with the indi-
yiduals who make up a nation, ma
terial well-being is an indispensable
foundation. But the foundation
avails nothing by itself. That life is
wasted. and worse than wasted,
which is spent in piling, heap upon
heap, those things which minister
merely to the pleasure and power
that rests only on wealth.

Entire Republican County Ticket Elected But Keefe for
Representative Ran Intentionally Close-Now
Let's Take Rest Politics.

A phone message from ]. A.
Schmahl this morning. stated that
Taft had practically carried all of
the northern states and that his ma
jority in the electoral college would
be large.
The same message conceded the
election of Governor Johnson by a
majority of from 10000 to 10000.
The vote for governor in Redwood
county as received up to this morn
ing, from 35 out of 80 N'sprecincts,
was 1878 for jacobson and 1898 for
Johnson, indicating a emajority in
the entire county of about $50 for
jacobson as against 437 for Johnson
two years ago.
Returns on president are less COM
plete, the vote being 1916 afor Taft
and 829 for Bryan, indicating Taft
majority in the county of about 300.
The result on Governor had been
conceded to be cose from the first,
but The Gazette is of the opinion
that the complete returns may ma
terially reduce the size Of Johnson
majority. We accept the result
as another proof of the personal at
tration of the man from st. Peter.

minority of the excursionists were

from four different Illinois cities
and considerable number from In
