At all events all candidates recog-
nize that>the county option movement
must be reckoned with in the coming
campaign. 1t is giving the candidates
for lieutenant governor as much con-
Germ as anybody. People are begin
ming to appreciate that the control of
the senate is essential to constructive
legislation, and that to secure that
control its presiding officer must be in
sympathy with the change desired.
Nine times out of ten minority in
the senate with the presiding officer
on their side makes majority. The
obstacles he can put in the way of
legislation are without end By ma
nlpulating committee assignments he
can give his friends and the interests
he favors an undue influence. Unless
the measures introduced have the
support and sympathy of the chair
man of the committees to whom they
are referred, their road is always
rocky. Whatever they may ultimate
ly decide to do about the candidate
for governor the friends of county op-
ton will make determined effort to
secure the nomination of candidate |
for lieutenant governor in sympathy
with their cause.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

This has been emphasized during
the past week by the decision render
ed by the supreme court of the United
States in the gross earnings tax case.
While at first Mr.. Young did not favor
the increase in the gross earnings tax,
once the law was passed he insisted
on it's enforcement. When the Great
Western road and the Great Northern
road. relying on certain antiquated
charters assumed to have been acquir-
ed by them, resisted the payment of
the increased tax, it was Mr.. Young
who brought the suits to compel it's
payment, and the case was fully per-
fected and preliminary victories gain
ed in the lower courts while he was
still the attorney general of the State.
The present legal department could
do no less than follow the path he had
blazed.

YOUNG COMING
into HIS OWN.
ABLE CONDUCT OF RAIL.
ROAD CASES.
Has Made Out a Strong Case
for the 1907 Rate Law, the
Hearing on which is Now Fin
ished-In High Favor with
County Optionists.

St. Paul. Feb. 28.-There is cOnsid-
erable excitement among progressive
Republicans, and it is increasing, for
the nomination of E. T. Young for
Governor. While his name is most
frequently mentioned in connection
with the county option agitation, Mr..
Young's admirers are by no means
confined to those who favor the en-
actment of temperance legislation.
Those who favor railroad reform also
regard Mr.. Young as leader in that
movement, and place a high value on
the services he has rendered in this
connection.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

That of course is not to say that Mr..
Young's nomination for governor is
probable. He is strong, however with
the people and that, too, without re-
spect to party. Naturally by reason of
what he has done if for nothing else,
his candidacy for the gubernatorial
nomination would meet with opposi-
ton. The Republican organization is
not in the hands of those who would
look with favor on the candidacy of
man who had devoted himself to
securing for the people square deal
in the matter of railroad freight rates.
When nomination at the hands of
convention is desired popular favor is
sometimes even source of weakness.
The politician is wise in his generation
who commits his political fortunes to
interests who have sourcesof strength
which they can bring into play at
their call.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

I understand that many of them are
inclined to favor the selection of S. Y.
Gordon of Traverse county whose can
didacy has recently been announced.
Mr.. Gordon is perhaps better known
as newspaper man than as a politi-
clan. He is editor of one of the lead
ing papers of the State and is vigor-
Gus writer. He has been a consistent
advocate of reform. He is not man
with one idea. He is fair. He is not
tied up to any interests. If the coun-
ty optionists favor him it is because
they have confidence in his honesty,
and that, were he the senate's presid-
ing officer he would give them a
square deal and not organize the SEN
ate with the view of giving their op-
ponents an advantage.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

That many of the friends of county
option are inclined to favor Mr.. Young
as a possible candidate there is no
doubt. It is extremely improbable,
however, that Mr.. Young would allow
himself to be put at the head of a
movement which had only for its OBJ
ject the enactment of temperance leg
islation, no matter how important he
might consider it. He is not the man
to lead a movement the purpose of
which is to disrupt the Republican par
ty. Indeed, so far as that is the de-
sign of the county option people it is
likely to defeat its own purpose. If
county option is to win in this State
it must first win the Republican party.
There are those who say that the party
could not carry the State with coun-
ty option plank in it's platform. That
is not my view, although I am free to
admit that we would have an entirely
new alignment. If the party would
lose in some directions it would gain
in others.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

But it is not only in this matter
that Mr.. Young has won the confidence
of those who favor State regulation of
railroad rates and the enactment. of
laws to prevent discrimination. He
took an active part in the legislation
of 1907. His services were always at
the disposal of those members of the
legislature who were interested in the
measures on which the fight was made
at that time. The law passed which
the railroads have been fighting ever
since, if not actually drafted by him,
was prepared by men who looked to
him for that counsel and advice which
was freely given. His services were
invaluable in perfecting the measure.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

There would be no lack of leaders
in that event either, although some of
the old ones would necessarily be re-
tired. Mr.. Jacobson is, Ilearn, inclin-
ed to favor the candidacy of W. E.
Lee rather than that of Mr.. Young, a
fact, which is easily accounted for
when the campaign of two years ago
il remembered.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

Gilbert Gutterson is the latest to be
mentioned as a candidate for State
treasurer. He is now holding down a
job in the department and would like
to run it. His prospects appear to be
predicated on the defeat of Mr.. Iver-
son, which would leave the State tick
ct as framed without Norwegian up
on it, which, of course would never
do. Gutterson has been quite cam
paigner in the Second District and has
a considerable following there.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

1t turned out that an important pur-
pose of those who attended the con-
servation convention at Bemidji was
to conserve their political rights. They
want reapportionment. Other things
they want, too. They want
roads. They want them bad. In con-
nection with this they want the State
to adopt a different policy with regard
to its land. The administration of the
laud department, in recent years es-
pecially, has had the effect of discour-
aging the settlement of the north
eastern part of the State. There are
many who think that pioneer settlers
should be encouraged rather than har-
assed.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

If this happens it will be great
victory. 1t is not only that the rates
are lower than those now charged.
What is more important is that they
do not discriminate in favor of any
section or locality. Under these the
rates for equal distance on the same
class of freight will be equal. So far
as rates within the State are concern
ed, the country town will be an equal
footing with the large cities. The
same principle extended to interstate
shipments would cause an industrial
revolution in Minnesota. That's what
must eventually come. Minnesota
will never occupy its rightful place as
a manufacturing State nor will its re-

Since then Mr.. Young has spent his
entire time in fighting the cause of the
people of the State through the courts.
In their interests he disregarded the
order of the federal district cour t, and
to test its right to interfere with an
officer of State in the discharge of
his duty, he brought upon himself the
penalty of contempt of court which no
member of the bar would willingly in
cur. Once it was decided that the
rights of the State must be upheld, if
upheld at all, in the federal courts, he,
did not hesitate but devoted all his
time and all his energies to preparing
the States case. Much has not been
heard of this hearing, which has re-
Gently been brought to a conclusion,
the evidence submitted not being of a
nature to make attractive light reading
for the daily press. Those who know,
however, say that in submitting his
case, no fact was overlooked which
could in any way aid the States con-
tention. 1t is believed by those who
have followed the States case that
under Mr.. Young's direction a mass
of testimony has been accumulated
which can not fail to convince the
court that the rates ordered by the
legislature of 1907 were reasonable,
and that in due time they will become

incidentally Bob Dunn came in for
a good deal of friendly mention, both
at this convention and at the meeting
of the editorial association. His prop
osition that mill tax be levied for
road purposes is meeting with very
general favor especially in the north
ern part of the State where roads are
hard to build and where they are es-
sential if settlers are to be attracted.
And really the money would be much
better spent than in providing ap
proaches and broad boulevards leading
to the marble palace as advocated by
some.
Morris tribune., 1910-03-04

Public interest, as far as the political
situation is concerned, is centered
this week on the county option con-
yention about to be held. Whatever
action it takes, or whatever attitude
it assumes, the prospects of the Re-
publican success are in some measure
bound up in it. Essentially it is q
movement within the Republican
party. In the absence of any other
overshadowing issue voters are sure
to be influenced more or less by the

EIopement of Turkish Woman
with Christian Starts
Race Riots

SOFIA. April l6.-Details have
reached here of the tragic elopement
Of Jordan Stefanof and Miss Saadet
Hanum, a beautiful Turkish girl, at
Rustchuk.
Saadet, the daughter of deVout
Mahometan named Mehemed Hanun,
was making purchases in RustcnuK
shop when she lifted her veil, and Jor-
dan Stefanoff, a bank clerk, who
caught a glimpse of her face, fell IN
love with her. Stefanoff managed to
secure an interview with Saadet, ana
found that she reciprocated his aifec-
tion. Being a deVout Mahometan, she
at first refused to marry him. EVEN
tually, however, her love for Stctanou
became so strong that she agreed to
clone with her lover She left her
home late one night, and went TO tne
residence of a relative of Stefanott'
prenarations were made for her bap-
tism as a Christian.
NIehemed Hanum was enraged at Ils
daughter's flight, and appealed to the
Turkish representative at kustcnuFS
on the ground that Saadet was not OF
age, and therefore incapabie OF con- con
tractins. a marriage without MS con-
sent. While the local authorities were
celebrating on this point the Bull
carian government ordered the arrest
of Saadet, and lodged her in the local
Jail. - ,.,.,.b
This indignity enraged the Turkish
Dopulation no less than StefanolI anu

lowed tWenty-one persons were killed
and many others wounded. Saadet
male face could be seen at one or the
inner windows of the prison, and the
friends Of Stefanoff eventually stormed
the building and rescued the girl She
t,,as taken TO her lovers home, and an
in9nense crowd assembled outside and
