A GOOD SELECTION.

Transcript: The appointment of
Charles E. Vasaly as member OF the
state board OF control will be pleasing
to the people of this section. The ap'
pointment is one of the best in the
hands of the governor and that local
man was selected for the place IS evil
dence of the faith of the chief execu'
tive in the ability of Mr.. Vasaly to
ably fill the position. While political
motives may have had some consldera'
tion IN the selection Of the local man
we firmly believe that the choice was
in a measure made looking to the well
fare of the state affairs which come
under control of the board, knowing,
as the governor does of Mr.. Vasaly s
past performances in public matters
where the interests of the people were
at stake.

Elk River Star News: Congressman
L1ndbergh of this district was ali
insugent to the extent OF not
participating in the republican caucus.
In the "good old days. a man s
political career would be ended under
such circumstances, but it is under
stood the congressman expects his
attitude will help him with the "com-
mon people. - Anyway. he is hardly
ina Dosition to call on the organization
for any favors. Metaphorically speak
ing, our congressman is now feeding
on the husks that fall from the gang s
table, and reports are that even the
husks are scarce.

The many generous and kind ex-
pressions of our brethren of the press
on the appointment OF the editor OF
this paper to the board of control are
certainly very gratifying. We are
afraid the boys have let their great
big hearts do the talking instead of
their heads. To 60 into Office with
such a wealth of good Will should be a
stimulus to bring out whatever good
qualities one may have And we are
profoundly grateful for the kind words
of the fraternity.

A MATTER OF PRIDE To EVERY
CITIZEN,

Royalton Banner (Rep.): The fact
that q life long resident Of Morrison
county has been honored by position,
the highest which the chief executive
may grant, is a matter of pride to
every citizen, regardless of politics.
Mr.. Vasaly has always been q
stalwart supporter of democratic
principles and conscientious worker
for the party. Though an admirer OF
Hearst and an ardent supporter of
Bryan, his opposition to the governor
was confined to matters outside the
state and IN the recent gubernatoria]
campaign Gov. johnson found in him
an able ally, whom he deemed worthy
the reward Just proHered.
The position IS one OF prominence,
involving as 1t does the care of the
many state institutions.

fifteen-minute discussion of the case
to the jury, explained his position and
announced that if the case was to 60
to the jury and verdict of guilty was
returned he could do nothing but set
aside the verdict.
There is absolutely nothing on
which conviction in this case could
stand before any court in this coun-

there is, therefore, nothing to do but
for the jury to bring in a verdict of
