The personnel of the ticket
nominated by Minnesota demo
coats at Minneapolis last Thurs
day is good on the whole. M.
G.. Tiff, the nominee for lieuten-
ant governor, is a clean, able
man who, if elected, would fill
the position creditably. Fred
Johnson, brother of the late la
mented governor, is said to have
ability; if he is like his brother
he is likely to make himself felt
in Minnesota politics. G.. F.
Ladner of ST. Cloud is an able
and honorable business man
qualified to hold the Office of
state treasurer. The other
places are creditably filed.
Probably nobody on the ticket
expects to be elected, though
it is evident that the party man
ayers are relying on republican
unrest to help them to needed
votes. This is a problem for
party managers in both parties
to solve. But inasmuch as the
men behind the scenes represent
the same interests and stand for
the same things. the people will
be the court of last resort. So
far as the men on the tickets go,
they are capable. Their records
will be closely scanned, for the
people are getting to Oe quite
particular for whom they cast
their votes. They cannot be
fooled as much in the future as
they have been in the past.

John Lind is wise man.
Though rendered the democratic
nomination for governor, he de-
clined the proffered honor, de-
claring that he is out of politics.
Minnesota democracy tried to
force him into the political game
again despite his frequent and
emphatic protests, The leaders
thought they could repeat what
they did to John A. Johnson
two years ago, but failed.
johnson accepted in spite of his
protests and was elected, but the
effort cost him his life. Lind
doesn't propose to sacrifice a
highly lucrative law practice for
the turmoil of the political arena.
He could gain nothing and
would undoubtedly lose much,
ever though he were to be elect
ed, and that is by no means
certain. The demand for Lind
as a candidate is different from
the demand for Johnson in 1908.
Then the people called for the
governor to stand a third time
because they wanted him. This
time the call came from demo-
cratic politicians and party bos-
ses who are 10th to give up the
spoils of office. Even though
he were to accept the nomination,
Lind could not make the cam
paign that johnson did. John
A. johnson was a popular idol;
John Lind is not. He does we'll

fishing by electricity. An end of the
wire was placed in the water, and the
current stunned such fishes as came

and game warden are trying to break
up this method of fishing.

The "Dean For.Gott,"

When the bishop of Truro, Doctor
Colt, was dean of Worcester, his alb
sentmindedness was so notorious that
he earned for himself the sobriquet
of Dean For-Gott." On one occasion
he had invited some friends to dine
with him; on their arrival short
time before the dinner hour he sug-
gested that in the interval of waiting
his friends would perhaps like to walk
through the grounds. After spending
about a quarter of an hour in admir-
ing the flowers, shrubs and green
houses, they suddenly came upon a
door in the garden wall Ali" said
the dean to his astonished guests,
this will be much nearer way for
you to go home than by going back
to the front" And, all unconscious
of his invitation, he opened the door
and bowed them out =.

Harry G. Young makes his
bow in this issue as a candidate
for the democratic nomination
for treasurer of StearnS county.
Mr.. Young has recently resigned
his position with A. G. Whitney
of St. Cloud with whom he has
been associated for the past fit
teen years. Mr.. Young is an in
telligent, honorable young man
of excellent business ability
whose experience has fitted him
for the Office to which he aspires.
He pledges himself, if elected,
to give the county his undivided
efforts and his friends know that
he means what he says.

In accepting the temporary
Craftsmanship of the democratic
state convention, Congressman
W. S. Hammond, in the course
of his speech said: Secret
ways of killing good bills, their
defeat by pigeonhole methods or
by chicanery of any kind, are
unfair and un-American." Sam
Y. Gordon, republican nominee
for lieutenant governor, voiced
the same sentiment in his polit-
ical creed. He promised that, if
elected. he would name com
mittees that would report bills
out instead of quietly strangling
them. That's the kind of man
Minnesotans want in office.
Sam Y. Gordon merits and will
receive the hearty support of
citizens who believe in this
square deal' method of doing
things.
