PEOPLES Interest Guarded

Governor Eberhart's keynote speech
delivered last Tuesday evening at Man
kato was a clear and comprehensive
discussion of the issues before the peo-
pie this fall in this state. Mr.. Eberhart
in reviewing the work done by his ad-
ministration showed that the interests
of the people had been guarded at
every pOint.-St. James Plaindealer.

Governor Is Stronu,

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~
ton, OF in the camp of the enemy,
he has given the friends of the prop
uganda, as we'll as its opponents, to
understand that he is ready to sign
county option measure when the
legislature passes it. The governor
has adroitly passed the matter up to
the legislature and placed the respon-
slblllty where it belongs. In so doing
he has placed himself upon record as
sane statesman rather than radical
theorist.-Duluth Record.

County Option a Legislative Issue.

Once more Senator Nelson has a
wise old head, and it will take cleverer
politics even than was shown at AL
bert Lea to strip it of senatorial hon.
ors in two years. He meets the tick
fish question of county option frankly
enough, only to hand it over to the
legislature. Of course that is where
it belongs.
When the free trade Democracy
nominated high protection Republi.
can for president in hope of postoffi
ces, they got out Of their hole by IRE
ferring the tariff question to the con-
gressional DISTRICTS That is exactly
what both party conventions have done
in this state, because they had to.
No governor can do anything for
county option but sign a bill.
The county option question will be
settled, as it was settled before, by
men nominated and elected by the
people in primaries and elections by
secret ballot.
No stream of politics can rise above
the source, even with the aid of
wind mill on the stump.-M Minneapolis
Tribune.

For People to Decide.

The keynote speech Of Gov Eber-
hart is clear and to the point. There
is no equivocation--no evasion-no
5ubterfuge. On the question of county
option he goes as far as he can go, in
pledging that if county option bill
is passed while he is governor, he
will approve and enforce it. This puts
it up to the people to elect a legisla
ture to the enactment OF such a mea-
sure, and that will settle the question.

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 prcferment 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.

Straightforward and Strono

Governor Eberhart in his keynote
speech stood squarely on the Republi-
can state platform. He showed up the
bunco game OF the Democratic commit
tee nominee for governor on the coun-
ty option issue. Mr.. Eberhart's address
was 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

of them republicans. Now is it rea-
sonabie to suppose that democratic
governor could dictate to that body
OF men what laws they should or
SHOULD not pass? 1t is ridicul-
Gus to suppose any such thing, and
republican should not be led to vote
for democratic governor by such
talk, because he believes in county
optlon.-Sunbeam Sunbeam.

Ridiculous ASSUMPTION.

How could the friends of county op-
ton expect James Gray to do any
more for the passage of a county op-
ton law than Governor Eberhart? If
the law passes the legislature, which
it must to become law, Governor
Eberhart would sign the bill, and Mr..
Gray could do no more. The state
senate consists of sixty-three men,
bers, and every one of them is fairly

state OF Minnesota. and a big majority

to be readily grasped by everybody
Mr.. Gray is for county option, and, as
the choice of John Lind, was probably
selected partly because he is an option

party is not for county option. So the

Position Fair And Reasonable.

1t seems to the Times that the crit
icism Of Gov Eberhart by the county
option delegates to the convention last
week was unjust. The governors
statement of his position with refer
ence to county option seems fair and
reasonable Olivia Times.

Personal Life Praised,

Governor Eberhart's personal life
harmonizes perfectly with a county op-
ton platform, but it should not be
expected that he will try to dictate
the platform to his, party, though
strong endorsement of the PROPOSE
ton would naturally be pleasing to
the county option forces.-Glenwood

independence Recounized.

Our opinion Of the efficiency of
Governor Eberhart as chief executive
was strongly fortified by his action in
dlsposlng Of the demands of the late
county option convention at St. Paul
1t was rank presumption to place the
executive in 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.

Strono With Republicans.

Governor Eberhart showed himself
to be diplomat at the state conven-
ton and he stands much stronger with
the republican voter now than he has
at any other time. His work at the
convention should spell election next
fall.--Glenwood Herald.

If the Anti-Saloon league is a non
partisan organization. the only ques-
ton of organization ought to have pre-
scented to Governor Eberhart is wheth-
er or not he as governor would sign
a county option bill if passed by the
legislature. This he has pledged him.
self to do, and having secured this
promise the energies of the league
ought to be devoted to securing mem
bers of the legislature favorable to
such law. If the league goes farther
than this it ceases to be non-partisan

influence for good.-Warren Sheaf.

Showed Good Judumcnt,

Governor Eberhart delivered a man
ly, straightforward speech at the
county option convention. The gev-
ernor was right in regarding the ques-
ton as legislative and not guber-
Material one, and in advance of the
adoption of any such reform measure
by the republican party the governor
showed his good judgment in not u.s.
ing the influence of his office for the
purpose OF debating to that party
what stand it should take on county
option.-Liltle Falls Transcript

that if county option measure was
passed during his incumbency as gov
