SAVING HIS PARTY SOME MORE.

There was an amusing and significant
incident at Governor Johnson's recent
Blue Earth City meeting, says-The Du
luth News Tribune. The chairman was
Mr. Ross, the local banker, one of
Southern Minnesota's wealthiest and
most prominent citizens, a man also
of very decided convictions, though
along rather inconsistent lines in poll
tics.
The opera house was packed when
Mr.. Ross, as reported by the Mankato
Free Press arose to introduce the COVER
nor He made personal statement that
he was Taft johnson Hammond repub-
lican-a decidedly queer combination. He
then eulogized Governor Johnson in ex-
travagant terms and closed with the
statement that ''to elect Bryan would
be nothing less than a public calamity
johnson and Hammond are reported
to have smiled at this, and the gov
ernor then stepped to the center of the
stage and opened his evenings effort at
Saving" his party with the remark
that he had heard nothing during the
present campaign that had pleased him
more than the words to which he had
just listened.
There was no intimation of difference
of opinion with Mr.. Ross; no attempt
to counteract the effect of his state
ment nothing to sweeten this dose to
the Bryan Democrats in the audience
no rebuke to Mr.. Ross for making such
a statement at supposedly democra-
tic meeting held in the name of democ-
racy to further the candidacy of the
party's candidates for governor and
congress.
Instead there was this distinct APP
prevail and deliberate agreement. No
thing he had heard during the cam
paign had pleased him so much as that
''to elect BRYAN would be nothing less
than a public calamity"

NORMALS DEFEATED WELLS
Mankato Boys Shutout the Team
Down the Line.

Dowh the Line.
From Mondays Daily.
Saturday the football team of the
normal school went to Wells to play
the fast high school team of that
town. "
Wells Won the toss, choosing the
goal and forcing the normal to kick off
against the wind to them. During the
first few minutes of play wells carried
the ball back to the middle of the
field and then were forced to pnnt be-
cause they could not make their downs.
The normal took the ball on their
forty yard line and advanced it steadily
to the 25yard line of their opponents,
Holden dropped back for a drop kick,
and just as the ball was passed the
umpire blew his whistle for an offside
play so that the goal did not count.
1t was tried again but failed, and
Wells clicked out from the twenty five
yard line. Again the normal brought
the ball steadily down the field by
short end runs, forward passes and line
plunges. At the fifteen-yard line a
double pass was. worked which showed
Holden, the. quarter, over for the first
touchdown. No goal was kicked.
At the end of the first half Wells
had possession of the ball, but in their
own territory. During the second half
normal got away on two long forward
passes for touchdowns, but was called
back, on account of the pass being
made within the 5-yard limit. The bali
was finally carried over for the sec
ond touchdown by Hoffman left half
from a long end run. Final score stood
ii to O.
The offensive work of normal was
especially creditable showing big i'm
provement over the previous week. But
the defense showed the lack of Palmer
behind the line to back it up.
The works of Ray, the Wells off,
cial is to be highly commended. His
decisions being fair and open.
Time of halves 20 and 20 minutes.
Referee, Ray; Umpire, B. F. Woodland.

MS RECORD is o. K.

With Taft, jacobson and McCleary
running on their record, the republi-
cans of this part of the state are not
making any excuses for their candl-
dates, says The Slayton Gazette. Taft's
in the Philippines, Gu
ba and panama and his splendid record
as secretary of war stamp him as
man of unusual executive ability. ia
cobson's twenty years in the legisla-
ture battling for the rights of the
people with a fearlessness that COM
manded the admiration of friend and
foe is one to be proud of. He took
prominent part in the enactment OF
all the laws on our statute books at
present regulating railroads, warehouses
mines and other corporations. This is
something to consider when you vote
for governor. Mr.. McCleary's fourteen
years in congress and his two years
as second assistant postmaster gen.
eral is an open book. His work for
sound money and protection in the
campaign of 1896 is known to all
except the younger voters. In his last
term he was the staunch supporter OF
the president in having enacted the
laws regulating the railroads, enlarg-
inc the duties of the Interstate COM
merce commission, the pure food law
denatured alcohol, meat inspection. His
record on all these measures can be
proven by reference to the Congress,
sional Record, the official organ OF
congress.

There is nothing the matter with
jacobson. He is all right.
That is the unqualified verdict of
the hundreds of people who saw him and
heard his strong and vigorous speech
at the theatre this forenoon.
The republican candidate for gov
ernor made most favorable and last
ing impression upon Mankato citizenry,
and demonstrated beyond any doubt
that he is the man who should be
elected governor of Minnesota.
If there was any opposition among
republicans in this city to Mr.. Jacob
sons candidacy it was swept away
by the intelligent and forceful man
ner in which he handled the issues
that arei engaging the attention of
the people of this commonwealth.
Mr. jacobson did not indulge in gilt
tering nothings, nor did he cover gen.
eralities with fowery word painting. He
spoke in no uncertain tones, and those
who heard him have no apprehension
as to where he stands on all important
HuCStioho "hiSh t'hONo ohC piSoSho eehu
the future of this state.
There was no quibbling, there was
no evasion, there was not the slightest
hesitation in the pronouncement of hi:
position toward those things which are
menace to the welfare of the pub
lie. ~
Jacob f. Jacobson "made good" a:
member of the legislature, and hi
has given Mankatonians every evidenc,
that he will certainly "make good
as governor. He is made up of tn,
right material. He is fighter, ant
yet he is diplomat who can la,
aside the "big stick" long enough t.
accomplish the ends sought withou
engaging in warfare.
Mr. Jacobson is big enough for tn
Job. He would make one of the bes
governors Minnesota ever has had. HI
is man of excellent Judgment am
sound sense. He is capable, full o
energy, hardworker and understand
the needs of the people.

HAMMOND IS A WONDER.

That man Hammond certainly is a
wonder, and the debates in which he
has engaged with Mr.. McCleary have
developed him to a remarkable degree.
He has been susceptible to very pro-
nouneed changes. At Fairmont he was
merely "a candidate for congress-" but
during the stage of evolution he de-
veloped into a straight out and out
democrat, advocating the democratic
national platform and the election of
William Jennings Bryan.
Hammond has changed from the po-
sition of revision of the tariff down.
ward! downward! downward! without
exception. as announced at Fairmont, to
an absolute stand patter on certain
schedules as announced at the closing
debate at Mankato.
In fact, if inconsistencies are brushed
aside. thing Mr.. Hammond and all
of his supporters have no hesitancy
in doing, he has solved the tariff
problem and is now pronouncing protec-
ton and high prices for the things the
producer has to sell and free trade and
low prices for the things the con-
sumner has to buy.
Just how he is going to perform this
Hercuean and heretofore supposedly i'm
possible task he saith not. He did,
however, say in one voice that he will
secure protection for the district by
appealing to the spirit of fairness of
the eastern manufacturers and in the next
breath that he would accomplish it by
clinched fist and stern demand.
Mr.. Hammond is wonder, and no mis-
take.

But Mr. jacobson, continued only
long enough to pledge himself in the
event of his election to the governor
ship to the welfare of the people
He wanted all to feel assured that they
would get fair and square deal.
Crowd Arose and Cheered.
He took his seat and the crowd
rose en- masse to cheer the big man
who had captivated them so completely
They were more than converted il
any were open to conviction, and
there were scattering of this kind
of couse. They were enlisted In the
ranks of those who, knowing that
the election of Jacob f. Jacobson Will
best conserve the interests of the
state and the people who populate the
state, are making it their special
business to boost his candidacy.
The speech, although improptu, as
it had to be shortened somewhat be-
cause of the bad throat with which
Mr.. jacobson suffered, gave great
stimulus to the ever growing sentiment
that will put Mr.. Jacobson IN the
governors chair.
The sentiments of the "dyed- the
wool democrats" who heard Mr.. jacob
sons address, were not expressed.
Made Many Converts.
Mr.. Jacobson's speech was winner
He added to his popularity and made
many votes. There were any number
of men who have been johnson supper

jacobson. One of the leading democrats
of this city shook hands with Mr.. ia
cobson and congratulated him on his
excellent speech. Mankato is for ia
cobson. He has started the flames OF
enthusiasm his way.
The Stop at Lake Crystal.
Mr.. jacobson. departed at l2:43 this
afternoon, stopping at Lake Crystal
for few minutes where he was in
troduced to large crowd by Hon
George w. Norman. Mr.. Jacobson made
a few remarks which were we'll received
