sary to go into detail. You know his
work. You know too the spirit in
which he did it. Without vindictive-
ness, in the spirit of inquiry, of inves-
tigation, of patient endeavor to know
the right and to do it, without fear or
favor, he went about his duties. All
we ask in this campaign is that you
allow us to continue that work in the
same spirit and l promise you that if
elected, shall neither neglect, shirk,
nor evade it.
To Redeem Platform Promises.
How do We propose to do it? BY
carrying out so far as we may be en-
trusted with power, the promises OF
the Democratic platform adopted at
Minneapolis, July 2Sth, 1910. That
platform concerns itself mainly with
state matters but naturally it has a
wider outlook.
1t opens with reference to nation
al affairs, and the tariff bill. Prop
erly, it denounces the enactment Of
the Payne-Aldrich law as base and
cynical deception" 1 do not think l
am partisan in adding my voice to
that denunciation. If l am so charged,
l will respond by calling the roll of
Republican senators and representa-
tives upon the passage of that bill:
Knute Nelson, Republican Senator for
IL years,-no. Moses E. Clapp, Re-
publican Senator for IL years,-no.
Chas. r. Davis,-no. F. G. Stevens
no. Frank NJ. Nye,-no. Chas. A.
Lindbergh,-no. Andrew Volstead,-
no. Clarence B. Miller,-no. Halvor
Steenerson,-no. Jas. A. Tawney,-
yes. And where is Tawney now?
Chairman Payne, in a speech the
other day, said he was proud of the

Proud of Democracys Administrators.

Proud Of Democracy's Administrators.
Now, what did six years of execu-
tive Democracy do for you? 1t gave
you, first, an inspiration to be your
own masters. 1t gave you, second,
concrete examples of exceptional adj
ministration. 1t gave you, third, ad-
vanced but just and popular legisla-
ton. 1t gave you, fourth, series of
executive appointments in efficiency
second to none in the Union.
Governor Johnson appointed Will
lam E. McEwen, Labor Commissioners,
and he has created the best depart
ment of its kind in the country. He
named E. K. Slater and Andrew
French to the Dairy and Food De-
partment and their work has pene-
trated to the humblest farm hand and
piled up profit for Minnesota in i'm.
proved farm methods. He appointed
Thos. D. O'Brien, now Justice of
the Supreme Court, Insurance Com
missioner, and he raised that depart
ment so high that his work was CON-
mended in special message to Con-
gress by the President of the United
States. Did any Republican Insur-
ance Commissioner ever get such an
endorsement?
Johnson's Appointments Commended.
In the big board appointments Gov.
Johnson was especially sagacious and
far-seeing. His appointment of Prof.
Frank L. McVey to the Tax commits
sion was non-partisan. 1t was fol-
lowed by splendid service in organ
iZing the board, service interrupted
only by his call to the higher position
Of president of the University Of our
neighbor, North Dakota. Samuel
Lord, a Republican senator, reflected
honor on the appointing power and
Judge o. NJ. Hall and J. G. Armson
brought profound knowledge and ripe
experience to the commission. Serv-
ice was the first thought of all. Capt.
Anton Schaeffer and P. M. Kerst, in
the public examiners department;
John B. Galerneault at the head of
the banking Department. John w. or
son and c. G. Schulz, successive heads
Of our state educational department;
Fred B. Wood, the adjutant general;
John A. Hartigan, a worthy successor
to Mr.. O'Brien in the insurance depart
ment; all these men reflected credit

I stand here to claim that the de-
plorable incident of Governor John
sons death, a severe blow to the State
and probable loss to the'nation: made
no difference in the political position.
The people did not contemplate his
death in Office. They elected him
with the one thought that he deserved
their confidence and that no one else
should supplant him. That he did de-
serve their confidence you have abun-
dant proof in legislation for the peo-
pie, in popular government, in excep-
tional appointments, in untiring watch
fulness over your interests. There
fore, say that though by the death OF
the Governor the Democracy is de
facto out of power, it is de jure in
power. 1t is for you to say whether
you will continue the forward move
ment or to take the chance of a back
ward step.

County Option is but another
form Of regulation. It says, In
effect, that the people pf a coun-
ty shall have the right to vote
whether they will have saloons
or not have saloons. Who in
this day, whatever hls politics,
will deny the people that right?
But, as view it, this 10 not a
liquor question at all. It is a.
question Of the rights Of the
people.

7rews Politics as Well as Beer.
t. So So & i
think that If the brewing
business had not changed it's at
titude after high license was
adopted, this question might not
have arisen, at least not until a
future date, but that change has
come. The people Of Minnesota
today find that the big brewing
interest brews beer only half the
time. The rest Of the time it
brews politics, brews laws, and
brews statesmen to carry it's er-
rands. II has reached a pass
when scarcely any question can
be decided on its merits.

Who Reduced the Rates.

Under Gov. Lind, the first step was
taken in Minnesota towards a reduc-
ton of freight rates. Gov. Johnson
continued that work. Under the head
Of major legislation, l call attention
to his part in the reduction of 1906
accepted by the railroads and ever
since in force, saving millions of dol
lars to shippers and hence to consum-
ers. He laid his hand gently but firm
ly on the legislature in the matter

In the repeated elections Of

on the smaller stage Of Mime

that Roosevelt enacted in the ma

are hurting stand-patters out Of

In even a greater degree the ap-
