son means an early beginning, owing
| to the fact that some of the best ar
| lists must be seen on the coast before
the beginning of the grand opera in
the east. 1t is not yet settled Whether
any of the grand opera organizations
will come west this season, but from
! the fact that there is not suitable
place in San Francisco to present grand
opera except by going to the Chutes
theater, and no place in Los Angeles
which is available owing to stock or
ganizations at the Auditorium and the
Shrine temple, yet without stage, the
big guarantees required cannot be as
sumed by the coast manager.
There is a possibility of Nine. Melba

1t is positive that Nine. Marie Rap

the musical season on the coast early

This will be the first time quartet
as high grade as these artists has
toured in this section of the country

work. Emelio de Gogorza will in all

TRIBUTE TO JACOBSON.

Hon. Sheridan j. Abbott of Winnie
bago, who has been acquainted with
the republican nominee for governor for
twenty-five years, pays him the follow
ing noble tribute in The Press News:
"Yes, sir, the ticket is good one
and every one of the nominees will be
elected by at least fifty thousand
plurality. / think Mr.. jacobson will
receive practically every republican
vote cast I have spent three hundred
days in all in the same branch of
the legislature with him, and a large
part of the time in the same hotel
and l am perhaps as well acquainted
with him as any person in the south
part of this state, and l give it as
my unbiased judgment that Jacob F.
jacobson is an honest man. He pos
sesses far more than average ability
even among our public men. His long
public record is without one single
stain. He may have made mistakes,
but l know of none. As governor he
will be the same earnest, faithful, con-
scientious servant of the people he has
always been.'
The above tribute is strongly en-
dorsed by those men who have known
Mr.. Jacobson best and who have served
with him in the legislative halls.

GOOD ROADS BOOST.

What will beyond doubt go down in
history as the most important good
roads convention ever held in America
was opened in Buffalo, N. Y, today
when Mayor Adam delivered an address
of welcome to the hundreds of delegates
present. Although the meeting was
called by the American Automobile
association, and a majority of the
visitors are motorists, the farmers of
the nation are also represented by
delegates from the National Grange,
and the professional road makers by
members of the American Road
Makers association.
The inaugural session was under the
direction of Charles I. Terry, of New
York, chairman of the legislative board
of the American automobile associa
ton. The present status of motor vehi-
Gle legislation in the national and the
various states was discussed and plans
made for united action by motorists
everywhere in favor of the pending
federal registration bill, and motor
laws in states not yet possessing them.
The good roads convention will be
formally opened this afternoon, with
Robert P. Hopper, of Philadelphia, as
chairman. The list of speakers for
this afternoon and tomorrow morning
includes authorities on highways i'm
provement from New England to the
Pacific coast. Practical demonstra-
tions will be given by professional
road builders tomorrow afternoon. The
meeting will close tomorrow night
with banquet at the Iroquois Hotel,
at which several men of national repu
tation will respond to toasts. Most OF
the visiting motorists will remain over
until Thursday to witness the start in
the Gildden tour.

OLDEST POLITICAL PARTY.

The convention now in session in
Denver is properly that Of the coun-
try's oldest political party, since the
present democratic party claims to be
the lineal descendant of the organiza-
ton founded by Thomas jefferson. In
his day it was known as the repub-
lican or democratic.republican party.
The first convention since the party
assumed something resembling its pre-
sent form was in 1882, at Baltimore,
when jackson was nominated by accla :
nation. The conventions of 1874, lS4S
and 1852 were all held in Baltimore,
the presidential nominees being Polk,
Cass and Pierce, respectively.
Conventions held since that time
have resulted in the selection of the
following candidates for president and
vice-president: aN

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The state republican ticket is one
that will bring to its earnest support
every true republican in Minnesota.
Every name in the list is familiar to
the people of this state. There is
Lieutenant Governor Eberhart, Secre
tary of State Julius ~Schmahl, State
Treasurer Clarence Dinehart-all have
been tried in their respective positions
and not found wanting in those essen
tials which 90 to make up competent
and trustworthy officials. They will be
reelected by majorities that give evil
dence of the confidence which is re-
posed in them by the citizens of Min
nesota.
Geaorge r. Simpson, the nominee for
attorney general, is not a stranger to
the duties of that important office.
He has been and is now the assistant
to Mr.. Young, and his every official
act has displayed the excellent legal
training that is in him, and he has
shown ability and judgment in the dis
charge of the work that has been as
signed to him. He was long a resi-
dent of Winona and held responsible
positions while living in that CITY. In
all these positions he made an enivable
record. He is the high type of lawyer
and is held in great respect by the
members of his professions.
Judge Mills is renominated for rail
road commissioner. He is SO well and
favorably known to the people of this
state that any extended comment con-
corning his public career would be re-
garded as superfuous. Mr.. Elmquist,
nominee for railroad commissioner, is
resident of Chisago county. He is
gentleman of high character, of force
and stabin.y. He is a lawyer by pro-
fession, mas held the position of prose-
cutting attorney of his county and is
well spoken of by those who know him
best. That he will make creditable
and highly satisfactory addition to the
railroad and warehouse commission
there is not the slightest question.
