Sunburg, Mimi, Aug. 20, 1912.
Dear Editor:
Permit me to thank you for your
kind offer to the citizens Of our coun-
ty to use the columns of your valu-
able paper for the discussions of
public questions us we'll as candi-
dates for office. | believe the tend
ency Of the times on the part Of the
voters is for a closer and fuller scru-
tiny Of the past life and record Of
men who seek positions in the public
service. This is indeed desirable and
should bring the best men into our
public Offices. Occupation, location,
business relationship or profession
should not be a matter Of consider
alton in the selection of our men to
fill important Offices and | have most
particular in mind our legislative
Offices. | consider Il legislative posi-
ton Of much and grave Importance
May be | am prompted to that to
some extent owing to some personal
experience in that capacity, but be
that as it may, l feel compelled to
support certain candidate in this
contest for the legislature who has
my utmost confidence, who stands
for Justice to all the farmers, labor
ing people and business men. l had
the honor and pleasure Of serving in
the Legislature with the Hon. Elias
hache who is one Of our candidates
for representative before the ap-
preaching primary election. | can
conscientiously say that on every oc-
casion and on every vote recorded
to his credit he stood consistently
for the interests Of the people and
the best interests Of our state. His
position and principles were con-
spicuously for good, clean and de-
cent ideas and conduct and honest
government. The term Progressive"
is popular today, but it could have
been truly applied to the acts and
| record Of Mr.. Rachie at that time.
He was born on a farm and spent
twenty-six harvests on the farm, so
while he is not an actual farmer to-
day, he is unquestionably fully COM
petent to judge as to the farmers
needs and interests. We cannot all
be farmers, nature provides for var
ious callings in life and the fact that
a former farmer chooses to become
an attorney like many Of our good
farmer boys do, should not necess-
arily sever his relationship and his
! kindly interest in his former brother
hood of farmers. We feel fully as
sured that the voters Of Kandiyohj
county will not make a mistake MOI
! will they regret that they nominate
and elect Mr.. Rachie to the legisla.
ture. He is a man Of ability, force,
full speaker and debater. His advo-
cacy OF the temperance cause anl
county option ought to be pretty wei
known to all. His former Legislative
experience, his consequent familiar.
ity with state affairs and his wide
acquaintance with public men con.
bine to make him a strong legislator
7 that will bring honor and credit tt
our county.
Sincerely,

interests, the steel trust and the pub
lie service corporations, together
with large part of the officers hold
ing appointive positions under the
present administration. And I have
stated that 1 believe this same polit-
ical machine was using it's powers to
re-elect you governor Of Minnesota.
II note your excessive concern
about the honor and fair name of the
state Of Minnesota. I regret that
this laudable interest did mot stand
you in hand when you permitted
yourself to take the contingent fund,
which the legislature had placed in
your hands for great emergencies
only and use it for your personal ex-
penses, for taxicabs, newspaper clip
pings and other equally personal ex-
penditures.
my campaign has been an appeal
to the people to take interest in pub
lie matters. I have reiterated that
the great issue Of this campaign was
to determine whether the people or
a. political machine was to govern
and control our state. I have said
that Minnesota is a great business
organization, collecting and disburs-
ing vast sums Of money; that it's
public officers are the servants of the
people and that every department
should be organized and correlated
as the departments of a large bus
mess enterprise are organized and
correlated; that the chief executive
should be the responsible head and
directing hand in this great work,
and that man whose principal sup
porters are the well-known members
Of the political machine, is not the
best man to place in this important
position.
'In spite Of all your Juggling with
figures and parade of details, the
cold fact remains that Minnesota
takes from the people in taxes, d.
rect and indirect, more than $751;
100000 annually, and the increase
has been greater under your admin
istration than under any administra-
ton in the history Of the state.
