Such campaigning will be frowned
upon by people who demand clean
politics. Where are the legitimate
emoluments of the Office of state
treasurer which justify such enor-.
nous expenditures just to secure q
nomination. with campaign expenses
to be added after the nomination is
landed?
Is it proper to encourage such
methods which will allow man
to either practically purchase his
nomination or allow wealthy
father-in.law do it?
Who will be treasurer, Smith or
McGinnis, if Smith were nominated
and elected?
The people will frown upon such
methods. Any candidate who is
known to- be tramping over the state
spending money with areckless hand
will not meet with the approval of
the people as the proper person to
have the custody of the funds of the
state of Minnesota. Not that any
dishonesty is suggested, but the
time has come when the people
do not want see nominations bought
up in that manner and the man
who attempts such methods will be
given the cold shoulder when found
out. .-.-s
If Mr.. Smith has qualifications or
claims which justify him being
nominated for state treasurer, all
we'll and good, but we strenuously
object to this Haunting of gold all
over the state to secure political pre-
ferment. .
If such methods are allowed to, re-
suit successfully, what chance, has
the candidate who has no .accommo-
dating father-in-law to open a barrel
to secure nomination? -'. :
We believe that when it becomes
generally known that Tammany
methods are being pursued by Smith
of Eveleth, his following will dwindle.
and while he has been successful in
making a meteoric campaign, similar
to Halley's: comet, only with tail
of gold instead OF, gas, the. people of
this state will refuse to be McGin-
Missed" and concede the nomination
to a man who will add strength to
the republican state ticket rather
than to assist man, who, should he
secure the nomination, would be a
milestone about the neck of. the party
when the opposition exposed to the
voters of the state the methods he
had pursued in winning favor.
What manner of service can be
expected from the man who is
boosted into Office with levers of
gold; whose wealthy father-in-law
is so set upon having the husband
of his daughter in charge of the
funds of Minnesota?
Such methods will not be counte-
nanced by the people who insist
upon clean politics and who do not
want to see a man disqualified
because he cannot walk into office
on steps of gold. ~
And the range country is making
a grave mistake if it sacrifices the
principles it has been striving for,
by standing behind Mr.. Smith, and
will regret it bitterly if the policy is
persisted in. No Smith McGinnis
methods for US.
The campaign being made by AL
Kaiser of Bagley is clean one. He
is clean man and is making a
clean fight. We believe he will win
out but he would spurn the methods

History tells us that among the

Prussian soldier whose memory a

Steuben. As one of the military god

cause and it was maintained through
the wisdom Of craftsmanship which
made the experiment OF self-govern-
ment a success. All these superb
qualities We're essential to the final
triumph, and the lack of either one
would have spelled failure. Historians
agree that iii Washington these quail
ties were found combined that he
excelled in them all. Steuben's oppor-
tunities were limited to the display of
military knowledge and the exercise
OF soldiery skill. His was a master
mind when it came to meet the re-
quirements Of organization, fundamen-
tai tactics and strategy. But there
was something else In him. No Ameri-
can patriot could have been more I'M
falteringIy true and more stubbornly
faithful to the cause of the colonies,
and none more courageously sanguine
as to the final outcome than was that
rugged soldier Of two worlds.
