The "third term argument

The third term argument is
occasionally used against johnson.
When some politician slides up to
you and springs that argument,
just tell him that the republicans
set the example when they nomin-
ated and elected John S. Pillsbury
for a third term. Besides, if it j.
safe to allow president to exercise
his vast powers for eight years,
why should it be unsafe to allow a
governor to exercise his limited
power and "divided responsibility
for six years? The state auditor
generally serves for eight years,
without shaking the foundations of
the state. The fact is, the "argu-
ment' is SO worthless that it would
not be used at all if there were on
ly some flaw in Johnson record
sufficiently large to turn the people
against him. When people are short
of wood or coal they are forced to
burn any small chips they can pick
Willmar tribune., 1908-10-21

John Malmberg is making a great
effort to prove that his character is
good. This is wasted labor. Few
people are thinking Of Mr.. Malm-
berg's character; it does not inter-
est them. We have sheriff now
who has made a splendid record,
one that has made him famous all
over the state among friends of
law and order and made him hated
by all the evil interests he has COM
batted. He has served only one
term. The people of Kandiyohi
county cannot afford to turn him
down. His reelection will be an
endorsement of the enforcement of
law; his defeat would mean that
the people of the county do not
want the laws strictly enforced.
In the election of Mr.. Bonde by a
non partisan vote the people placed
themselves on record on this ques-
tion, for they knew plainly where
he stood. They will not reverse
themselves just to endorse the pri-
,vate character of any man.
Willmar tribune., 1908-10-21

The Minneapolis Journal last
Thursday called attention to the
fact that John A. johnson was prac-
tically all alone speaking for his
side in this campaign, while the
Republicans have whole horde of
speakers swarming over the state,
including the two U. S. senators,
eight congressman, state officials,
big guns imported from other parts
of the country and a big list of hire
lings. Besides this there are eighty
republican county machines, with
their hundreds of little newspaper
organs and practically all the big
corporation dailies of the state.
But like his progenitor Of old,
John, with his little band of faith
ful followers, goes fearlessly to
battle against the big odds, and the
tremendous enthusiasm that greets
him everywhere proves that the
people are with him and that he
will score another triumph two
weeks hence. Keep your eye on
Minnesota and her awakened inde-
pendent citizenship.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 'Os
YOUNG'S PREDICAMENT.

Attorney General Young tries to
explain his statement regarding
the position taken by the Inter
ests' in selecting the republican
candidate for governor, in the
following manner: 81 truthfully
stated that [ knew the interests
were opposing me; but neither then
nor at any other time did say
that Mr.. jacobson was their candi-
date, because l knew he was not. "
Now read the following extract
from Mr.. Young's letter to the Du-
Iuth Herald last spring and see
how it matches with the above
statement. He said:
"You say that | am up against a
stone wall, because in addition to
Jacobson's per 5onal following there
is Dunn's support and the support
Of that strong faction that does as
Dunn says and without which no
man can succeed. The fact that
the liquor and corporate interests
are opposing my candidacy has
been known to me and to every one
in the capitol for some time. AS
the attorney general | have made
the saloons obey the law. | have
diligently prosecuted the timber
trespassers, and have recovered
many judgments against them, re-
Gently one in the supreme court
against Tom ShevIin's company for
over $16,000. The opposition of
these interests and of the group of
politicians and newspapers that are
habitually controlled by them was
to be expected. 1T IS KNOWN
THAT TIL lY HAVE ALL UNITED
IN THIS CAMPAIGN AND THAT
BOB DUNN, THE PATRON AND
FAVORIT OF TOM SHEVLIN
AND THl TIMBER INTERESTS,
HAS BEEN APPOINTED THEIR
GENERAL AGENT TO- TAKE
CHARGE OF THE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST ME. HE HAS OPEN
LY DECLARED THAT HE WAS
GOING TO SKIN ME-"
Bear in mind that this letter was
written in April, nearly two months
after Bob Dunn, ''the agent of the
interests" had at public meeting
in St. Paul openly selected Mr.. ia
cobson as his candidate and conse-
quentiy as the candidate Of the in
terests he represented. There can
be no escape from that conclusion,
and Mr.. Young certainly knew
when he wrote it that that was the
only conclusion that could possibly
be drawn from his statement.
Mr.. Young is, of course, in a
rather trying predicament. He
must preserve his "party regular
ity," and the above attempt to ex-
cuse Mr.. Jacobson is perhaps the
best he can do under the circum-
stances. But it is a very lame de-
nial of a very plain charge, made
while he was stirred up enough to
say what he thought, without think
! ing Of ''regularity."

1t Has Begun Again.

AS the election approaches, some
employers Of labor have resumed
the old effort to coerce their men
to vote according to the employers
views.
Some put up placards or send out
announcements that IF So-and-so
is elected this factory will shut
down indefinitely"
A great packing firm has taken a
vote Of it's men and followed it up
with card to each asking, IF you
voted for Roosevelt four years ago.
what were your reasons? If you
voted for Bryan eight years ago,
what were your reasons? What
reason have you for voting for
this fal?"
The whole business of employers
prying into the political views of
their employees is insulting to work.
men, in violation Of public policy,
and should be punished as crime.
1t is pity that there is not some
high court of public morals, like
that which has branded ''unde-
sirable citizens" in the past, strong
enough and brave enough to stig-
matize such employers as they de-
serve.
An employer who by threat Of
discharge or shut down seeks to CO.
cree his employees is a scoundrel,
and a corporation that does it is a
scoundrelly corporation. controlled
and differed by scoundrels.
If such employer succeeds in d.
verting the votes of men to candi-
dates or parties in which the voters
do not believe, he buys the mems
votes for jobs, and makes scoun-
drels and lickspittles of his men.
If he drives his men to apparent
compliance only, acting one way
and voting another, he makes his
men hypocrites and liars. In either
case it is the work of scoundrels to
either bribe voters or drive men
into deceit.
The anarchist who blows up a
building or an officer of the law is
dangerous man, but such employ
ers are more dangerous; for the
one resorts to open violence which
brings its own punishment and turns
the world against it. while the
other poisons institutions at the
root by debauching the people
themselves.
Besides being a scoundrel, the
employer who announces shut
down if the election goes against
his views is liar. He knows when
he says it that he will not shut
down so long as business will JUS
tify running, and that no mans
election will affect business serious

In Minnesota when it developed
that the democratic and the repub-

important issues chow strangely,
the republican candidate bolted his
platform and declared that he would
sign county option bill if it were
passed; undaunted. the democrat
repudiated the traditional principles
Of his party and followed suit.
Each bowed his knee to the county
option Baal, regardless of the con-
trary declarations and policies of
the party whose nomination he &C.
cepted.
