The Republican State convention
assembled in St. Paul on Tuesday and
placed in nomination winning ticket.
It was a harmonious convention thru
out differeing in that respect from
many state conventions held in recent
years. There was no attempt at
bossism, but every republican was
given perfect freedom to express his
choice for candidates. Even the Coun
ty Option question, which was feared
would precipitate trouble, was dis
posed of in a fair and satisfactory
manner to all concerned. The con-
vention recognized the justice of Civ
ing the people of this state an oppor-
tunity to express their wishes in the
matter and have it fought out in the
state legislature.
The ticket selected is strong one
from top to bottom. The endorsement
Of Senator Moses E. Clapp for re-elec-
ton was perfectly proper and just
tribute to the ability and integrity Of
this doughty champion of the people
, In the upper house. The nomination
of Governor A. O. Eberhart was also
a deserved tribute to our young
talented chief executive. During the
few months he has held down the
Governors chair he has shown him
self in every way a worthy successor
of the great John A. Johnson.
The denomination Of Julius A.
Schmahl for Secretary of State, G. S
Iverson, for State Auditor, George T
Simpson, for Attorney General, Irving
A. Caswell, for Clerk of the Supreme
Court, and Chas. F. Staples for Rail;
road and Warehouse Commissioner
are deserved compliments to these ca
pable officials. In the selection Of
Supreme Court Justices the conven
tion would have acted with more cred
it if it had nominated Chas. L. Lewis,
of Duluth, together with the others.
The retirement Of Judge Lewis was
no doubt inspired on account of his
position in the Tax Amendment de-
cision, but there is consolation in the
fact that Phillip E. Brown, who was
nominated in his place, is gentle
man of very high standing. The de
: feat of Judge Lewis proved to be al
advantage to Walter J. Smith, of Eve
-leth, who captured the nomination
for State Treasurer. On the first bal
lot J. H. Kaiser, of Eveleth was il
the lead. but while the vote was TAX
! en-, Marshall county changed from
Kaiser to Smith and other counties
following the lead of Marshall soon
piled up enough votes for Smith to
make his nomination unanimous. 8.
{ Y. Gordon, brother of A. R. Gordon,
a former resident Of Warren was nomi.
mated for Lieut.. Governor as a con-
cession to the County Option advo
Gates in the convention, Mr.. Gordon
having promised, if elected, to appoint
temperance committee that would
i report out a County Option bill.
