The above statement was embodied
in a letter written this week by Mr..
Lind to friend in New Ulm, says The
New Ulm Journal.
The letter was written in response
to his friends desire to have him en-
ter the gubernatorial race, thereby
giving him an opportunity to cast his
vote for him.
Those who have intimately known
the inclinations of Mr.. Lind have
doubted all along that he would enter
the gubernatorial race for the fourth
time. When he refused to again make
the run for congress in the fifth dis
trict, he gave it out at that time that
he was through with public office, as
he had come to the conclusion that he
was serving the people at great
financial loss. Since then he has &C.
quired a lucrative law practice in Min
neapolis, being counsel for some of the
railroad companies.
In addition, the prospects of being
elected on the democratic ticket are
not any too bright, although it is
generally conceded that Mr.. Lind is
the strongest man the democrats could
nominate, but even Lind was defeated
twice in three campaigns. In 1896 he
came within $500 votes of beating
Clough and in 1898 Lind beat Eust-
by over 10000 votes, and in 1900 Lind
WAS again defeated by only 1900 votes
by Van SAINT
Mr.. Lind has been repeatedly lined
up as entertaining county option ideas,
and that if nominated he would insist
that such plank would be inserted
in the platform. Any discussion in the
future, wherein the name of Lind is
being mentioned as a prospective cam
didate for governor, can be considered
as without authority from him.
