to these two terms his friends point
with pride as being fair criterion
OF his regard for the public inter-

his friends and supporters to renewed
efforts on his behalf

Governor Eberhart's keynote speech
is like the man himself-weak. Con-
trasted with James Gray's strong,
manly utterances it is insignificant
Like all small men without the nerve
to face a situation squarely he at

up Frank A. Day, chairman of the

Wean support from Gray in that man.

leader, as Mr.. Eberhart will discover.
But 1t Is begging the question for
Mr.. Eberhart to bring Day into his
discussion at all. The people are 20

he is strong man. Adolph Eber-

terday afternoon, placing the meat of
the matter before the voters in a.
forceful manner. Mr.. McKeon had
naught to say against his opponent

of being an attorney, first admitted
to the bar in 1891 and admitted to
practice before the Minnesota SUI
preme court later in the same year.
He cor1tended that the duties of the
office to which he aspires, one of the
most important in any county, de-
manded the care and attention of a.
practicing attorney-not of a man

done so, although a state bar exami-

! National issues decided the Maine

that 1t means, is just as much an

De In the presidential campaign two
years hence. Since being elevated to
| the highest office in the state, it has
been Governor Eberhart's great mis-
fortune to be adopted by the stand
| pat element of the Republican party.
IN his anxiety to stand well with
President Taft, the governor made an
| ill-advised promise to deliver Minne-
| sofa bodily into the hands Of the fed
eral machine, and, in his efforts to
| abide. by that promise, he has sur
rounded himself with the worst type
of professional politicians and corpor-
| alton lobbyists in his party. If the
voters of Minnesota do not rise to
their opportunity, Ed Smith and the
Big Business crowd will elect Eber-
mart. If, however, the progressives
of both parties rally to the support
of Progressive James Gray, good gov
eminent will win another tremend-
GUS victory.-St Peter Herald.

It is funny to see how some Of the
Republican leaders twist and squirm
under the remarkable campaign
speech made by John Lind All kinds
of Interior motives are ascribed to
him, his words twisted and every
thing done to discredit his utterances.
No one has presumed to reply to his
speech as whole, and it is doubted
If there is anybody capable of doing
so in the, same broad and compre-
hensive manner in which it was de-
livered, says the Sherburne County

! By the way, you see what hap
! pened down in the state of Maine
| Democratic from governor to pound
master! What do you think of that ?
And the example set by Maine will
be followed all over the country un-
less the Republican party awakens
to the fact that corruption must be
weeded out and. that graft must be
subdued and that such men as Cam
non, Ballinger, Aldrich, ct al, must
| retire from office.-Anoka Free
