A STORY WITH A MORAL.

Winfield Scott Hammond. the St
James statesman, will be the mex
Governor of Minnesota.
The people of the great North Sta
State elevated him to this high Pc
sition Tuesday with vengeance.
The defeated candidate, VIM. E
Lee, the Long Prairie banker, and his
advisors will no doubt insist that the
brewery interests were responsible fol
his defeat.
For the sake of argument the Her
aid is willig to admit that this in
fluence was back of Mr.. Hammond.
Mr.. Hammond and his supporters
will no doubt point to his election as
an Endorsement of the governmental
policies of President Wilson,.
The Herald believes that the people
of Minnesota are heartily in accord
with the Presidents peace program,
but we do not believe for one instant
that the tariff legislation of Mr..
Wilson and his Congress meets with
any more favor in this state than in
the rest OF the country, where sweep
ing gains have been made by the Re-
publicans, so much so in fact, that the
control of the next House of Repre-
sentatives is somewhat in doubt at
this writing
In the opinion of the Herald the
voters of Minnesota elevated Mr..
Hammond to the Governors chair in
order to give a singing rebuke to
what we will term bushwhacking in
politics. The question of county OPP
ton was secondary issue.
1t should teach the thoughtful citi-
zen that party fealty means some
thing and that while a man can pos
sibly gain temporary success by
n aligning and misrepresenting an OPP
ponent and his supporters, he is sure
to strike snag before he has reached
the goal.
The Herald editor voted for Mr..
Lee. We did not do so because we
were under snv OBLIGATIONS to him
quite the reverse in fact, but because

He was nolni aJed with a whoop at

self with advisors inexperienced In
politics, impractical, erratic, and with
IN inability to get the confidence OF
the great majority of voters. Failure
to censor his Marshall address
roves their incompetency. 1t is an
other illustration of the old saw, that
you "cannot make a silk purse out
of sow's ear"
There were also many who did not
take Mr.. Lees reform proclamation
seriously, alleging that he was using
reform" as vehicle upon which he
might ride into power.
But the great lesson to be learned
from the result of Tuesdays election
is that the people of Minnesota do not
want William E. Lee for Governor.
1t is true that they wanted him
more in some localities than in others.
His home county and town did not ap-
parently have much more of want"
for him than the other sections of the
state. Not so much as some. In fact
they biffed him fore and aft, north,
south, east and west, in city and
country. William has failed to con-
quer.
Of course it is too early yet to pre-
dict whether he will proceed to "elimi-
nate" again two years hence, but by
reading the stars closely it is easily
that William is done
done to finish politically, in fact.
He will have ample opportunity to
devote the balance of his time recup-
Grating an exchequer which, while not
busted, in the nature of things, must
be somewhat wrinkled.
The newly elected Governor is a
nan of high attributes, and has the
lily to give the state as good as an
administration as has Gov. Eberhart.
He will not be able to reduce the taxes
# the state unless the legislature is
Wiling that he should.
He has said that if the people Of the
tie want county option they will
'lect a legislature favorable to such
! measure, and that if such law is
passed he will sign it. The Herald |
'elieves he will do so.
In the meantime there is much work
or the Republican party. Mr.. HAM
nond will, in the course of the next
wo years, have opportunity to
'uild up quite nifty little machine,
md it will take united party with
live one" as candidate to displace
