i a RINES AWAKENING.
i At last the unbought, and unpur-
fchasable press of. the state is awake
to the fact that desperate effort is
being made by certain interests that
have dominated the politics Of this
state for years to defeat Henry
Rines for the republican nomination
for state auditor, Elsewhere we
quote from the leading newspapers
|of the state to show that there is an
Irresistible wave of enthusiasm
arounsed in every section of Mime
sofa for Henry Rines that is beyond
the power of the interests to stem.
Here is tribute to Mr.. Rines, from
the Blue Earth County Enterprise,
edited by H. G. Hotaling, president
of the Minnesota Editorial associa-
tion: r.
''Henry Rines of Kanabec county
is a candidate for state auditor.
The average voter is unacquainted
with any of the candidates for state
officers and for that reason if for no
other, there should be a united effort
on the part of those who know the
rugged honesty and unsullied char
acter of Mr.. Rines to see that he
gets the practically unanimous sup
port of those residing in the rural
districts. He. is faithful and trust
worthy to degree that is certainly
worthy of commentator in this age
of machine government, where men
in office serve the corporations
rather than the people,. The man
who remembers Henry Rines with
his ballot on June 10Th will make no
mistake and prove himself friend
Of good government.
This from the Western American.
the leading English Scandinavian
journal of the Northwest, goes to
show how highly Mr.. Rines is es-
teemed by the representative men of
his own NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. born
in Sweden Mr.. Rines stands on his
merits as a plain American citizen
and makes no appeal to racial pre-
|judices:
"Nothing has however appealed to
US as much as the edition of one of
our country weeklies published last
week, at the home of Hon. Henry
Rines, the next state auditor of
Minnesota. TIE citizens of Mora in
a spirit of local pride published that
issue of the Kanabec County Times
entirely at their own expense and in
the interest of his candidacy. AS
citizen and lawmaker he has made
good. Always on the side of the
people, he has been active in. behalf
of progressive legisla tion. Nobody
denies that he is a man of limited
means and that he cannot afford to
buy support. but the independent
press of Minnesota recognizes his
ability, his honorable and upright
career and are glad to give their IN
divided support to man who wears
no mans collar, and who takes no
orders from any political machine
In his years Of service as a member
of the legislature he has become
familiar with the duties of the state
auditors position as we'll as the
different departments of the state
government. Everybody dislikes the
idea of a 'machine'. in politics.
With a man in the state auditors
chair who has hitherto shown him.
self to be supporting the cause of the
people, Minnesota can feel safe that
the pine land barons, breweries, and
other special interests in Mr.. Rines
cannot find a servant Mr.. Rines
deserves the undivided support of his
party and all independent citizens in
his campaign for nomination to one
of the most, if not the most impor-
tant, Office in our state.-the state
auditorship.
