. man who wrestled in a death-lock
with fate and at last indomitable and
triumphant he straightforwardly asks
his reward from the people. It is
story which brings you face to face
with all the grim realities of life and
the awful horse-play of fate.
Since early childhood Joseph l..
Murphy has been blind. AS boy he
attended the Fairbault school for the
blind and there struggling along in
darkness with the half-formed aspira.
lions of adolescent youth he realized
his great physical handicap and re-
solved to overcome it or go down to
the depths in the struggle.
After finishing his course at the
school for the blind he determined to
work his way through the University
Of Minnesota. This feat, considered
remarkable for man possessed of all
his senses, was seemingly impossible
for this man who could not see. With
out higher education his detection
could only be increased. But, he had
not only to pay living and tuition ex-
penses, but, also to hire reader to
assist him in his studies.
These things he accomplished. How
ever, the struggle was not to end here
Having received his legal degrees
from the greatest school in the state
he must make his place in life. The
greatest achievement of all, and al
though many years have passed and
he has not only built up great law
practice, but also attained high place
among the members of the bar; al
though he has become as great as
some of the first men of our state and
tar greater than thousands who had
not his handicap, he has yet long
way to travel before he can realize his
highest ambition. The ambition to be

and he is a candidate for state repre-
s tentative from the 31st district.
dr. Murphy has always regarded
the percapita tax as unnecessarily
high, and if given a chance he will ex

1912.
The late Governor johnson spoke
of Mr.. Swensen in the highest terms.
They were close friends. Ex-Gover-
nor Lind in public endorsed Mr..
Swensen in his campaign for County
Attorney and is a staunch supporter
of him in this campaign and will
speak in his behalf before election
day.
Thousands of citizens attest to
Mr.. Swensen's high mindedness, in
tegrity and ability. His speeches are
of high tone and bespeak wide
reading and careful thought. His
election will mean that the peoples
interests will be safeguarded. He
is a student of the needs of the
farmer and Industrial worker. He
has always been an active civic and
church worker.
He believes in Wilson's policies
and the Presidents central idea that
the government is for the benefit of
the individual and not for special in

miliar with the records and Register

Graduate of University of Minnesota,

Was in the primaries eight years
ago for Register of Deeds when l
tied Horace Johnson for second place
in field of ten. Have supported the
present Register of Deeds at every
election since. Have never held office
in this County nor asked for one ex-
cept as above. George Washington
said Consecutive office holding is
the greatest menace to Republican
Government" He referred especially
to the office of President of the
United States, but the principle ap-
plies to all Offices in some degree.
Some ten states have constitutional
provision for limiting Treasuryships
to two terms or total of not over
four years and in some of them the
outgoing Treasurer is prohibited
from being deputy under his sue
cessor. Perpetuation in Office as we
all know by experience, does tend
toward extravaganza. Overlooking
the office with employees for political
reasons. increasing the expense in
various ways Ito be good fellow"
Under the old system, Register of
Deeds had what they could save out
of the fees and such men as Charles
Robinson, Jules Heinrich, George
HUM and numerous others made
from ten to eighteen thousand dollars
year running the office. With the
idea of saving this large sum for
benefit of general tax fund, the Reg
lister was put on salary. In the
early period of this plan, the county
made money.
The present Register is completing
his eighth consecutive year in the
office, having been deputy in said
office for the seven and one half
years previous. He made very good
record the first two years as Register
and made money for the county.
Later the surplus was smaller, until
last year (1913) according to the
report of the County Auditor, the
total fees received were practically
used in paying expenses.
I believe it is possible to make
money for the county in that office
more economical methods.
Strict attention by all employees to
business, and that the public will be
as we'll or better served under such
methods. The present election is for
four years.
