Right BY Every Issue.

There is no reason why every Re-
publican should not vote for Cover
nor Eberhart and give him and the
entire Republican State ticket an old
time republican majority. On every
question of vital interest to the peo-
pie, Gov. Eberhart stands squarely on
his party's platform and that platform
combines every element in which there
is an issue before the people and on
every issue the governor is right

Governor Is Strono

Governor Eberhart has demonstrate
ed that he has ability to know what
the people Of the state really want.
Without placing himself in the thick
OF the fight on behalf of county op-
tlon, or in the camp of the enemy,
ne has given the friends of the prop
uganda, as we'll as it's opponents, to
understand that he is ready to sign
a county option measure when the
legislature passes it. The governor
has adroit1y passed the matter up to
the legislature and placed the respon-
slblllty where it belongs In so doing
ne has placed himself upon record as
sane statesman rather than a radical
heorist.-Duluth Record.

Keynote Speech Praised.

The governors keynote address has
been what those in touch with him
have expected, a sound, reasonable and
clear definition of those policies which.
carried out, will maintain Minnesota
reputation as a leader among the
states. It is splendid bit of liter
ature and we'll worth reading by every
person interested in good government
and the welfare of our state. Cover
nor Eberhart made a fine impression
in his initial campaign speech and
displayed much Of his real worth.

IoVaI to the S+,+A

Governor Eberhart had the UNIQUE
distinction of receiving the unanimous
vote OF the state convention and he
did not have to make any pre-conven-
ton pledges to get it. He is not con-
trolled by any interests or any fac.
ton of the party. He came to the Of
flee nearly year ago under trying cir
cumstances. He has made good. He
is yet young man and will continue
to grow in craftsmanship. He is in
tensely loyal to the state and zealouslv
guards her every interest. His heart
is right and he is making and will
make Minnesota good governor.-St,
James Plaindealer.

straightforward and S+rono

=, 0tTOnQ.
Governor Eberhart in his keynote
speech stood squarely on the Republi-
can state platform. He showed up the
Dunco game of the Democratic commit
tee nominee for governor on the coun-
ty option issue. Mr.. Eberhart's address
was a strong and straightforward one,
one that appeals to common sense. not
prejudice and it will land him in the
governors chair by $4,000 majority

For Clean Politics.

The statement made by Governor
Eberhart that he will run the COVER
nor's office, not in the interest of his
own political preferment nor in the
interest of the republican party, but
in the interest Of the people of the
state, reminds us of the time when
we had clean politics. The people of
this state have had enough of machine
politics.-Warroad Commonwealth.

GoVernor Eberhart's keynote speech
denvered last Tuesday evening at Man

Personal Life Praised,

Independence Recoonized

Our opinion of the efficiency of
Governor Eberhart as chief executive
was strongly fortified by his action in
disposing of the demands of the late
county option convention at st. Paul.
1t was rank presumption to place the
executive In a position where he must
favor any of the schemes of citizens.
His friends all over the state will
recognize his strength and independ-
ence.-Cass Lake Times.
The Appeal., 1910-11-05
Governor Is Sincere

We believe that Governor Eberhart
is sincere in his statement that he
considers county option a legislative
measure in which the executive should
take no hand previous to action on
the part of the legislature. That he
will sign the bill there is not the slight
est doubt.-Minneota Mascot.

Gov. Eberhart is asking for an cleo.

tive upon his record in that office dur
ing the past year. He has made
manly statement of his position upon
all Important questions. He is clean
IN his private and public life. He
will not be the governor of any par

A Democratic Opinion.

The following from the Red Wing
Free Press, for years one of the
strongest and uncompromising Dem
ocratic papers in the state, is signifi-
cant:
James Gray, who is running for Gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, occu-
pies most peculiar position. In the
hrst place he is not the nominee of
the Democratic party, and in the Sec
ond place he is not running on the
Democratic platform as adopted by the
Democratic state convention.
Mr.. Gray is the nominee of Frank
Day and John Lind. The state conven-
ton, which nominated John Lind for
Governor, had not a word to say about
Mr.. Gray for the Office, although sew
eral names besides that of Lind were
proposed or mentioned. Whether Day
and Lind selected Gray because his
views on county option coincide with
their own, or because he was the only
one who could be found willing to
make the run, is an unimportant Ques-
ton. Both factors probably entered
into the case.
Instead of abiding by the decision
OF the state convention on the sub
ject of county option-the convention
having shown itself opposed to option
in the ratio of at least twenty-five to
one-Mr. Gray in his "keynote" speech
declares himself in favor9ofe county~op-
tion and pledges himself to urge the
legislature to pass a county option
bill.
Aside from showing Mr.. Gray to be
at variance with the party on whose
ticket he is running, his declaration
on the subject has but little meaning.
II the legislature does not contain
majority favoring county option the
Governors recommendation will not
change it. No Governor, pledged or
unpledged on the subject, would veto
such bill if passed. Consequently,
the ante-election pose by the guberna-
torial aspirant, whoever he happens to
be, has no other significance than that
of an appeal for votes from a certain
element. And since that element is
not the Democratic party, which in
this case will be alienated instead of
attracted by the attitude of the cand-
idate, the question arises, has the
Democratic party any gubernatorial
candidate at all?
To the Free Press it seems as if
James Gray were the candidate of the
county option and prohibition factions
in all parties, making use of the Demo
cratic party organization for campaign
purposes only.
