their disadvantage, but it cannot be
said that in forcing it's passage he
did not have in mind the greatest
good for the greatest number. Tom
eastman, as his friends call him, is
clean citizen and the candidate on
the Republican side of the house can
look for fight if he is named by the
Democrats.
Some day, and it may not be far
distant, state kingmakers, will have
to reckon with President George Ed
gar Vincent of the state university
be either governor or United States
senator and the opposition will have
some game on it's hands. Talk about
Governor Eberhart putting in his time
travelling and speaking, President Vim
cent has him beat a mile and what is
more his speeches generally make a
hit. Believe me, President Vincent is
some politician, too, and when he gets
ready to start, why, as I said, Look
OuL: I10 Will ~ SO1l0.

Henry Rines of Mora, candidate for
state auditor, will be informed shortly
as to his eligibility for the Office The
Rines candidacy just now is somewhat
clOuded by the entrance of J. A. o.
Preus, state insurance commissioner,
into the field, but friends of the Mora
man expect to offset his pull with an
attack on the sincerity of the Preus
candidacy. They say Preus was push
ed into the game in order to punish
Rines for past anti-Eberhart activity
and also for the purpose Of dividing
the Norwegian vote, which otherwise
would have gone to either Iverson or
Peterson, both gubernatorial candi-
dates and members of that national
ity.

Minnesota Progressives met at the
Merchants hotel in St. Paul and ar
ranged to put a ticket in the field this
fall. Their program of principles in
clude county option, woman's suffrage
was decided to add woman's auxiliary
to the state organization and to this
end the appointment of one woman
from each county was ordered. The
Bull Moosers' figure that they have
better than :; chance this year be-
cause of the fact that, in their opin-
ion, the Republican and Democratic
parties will name reactionaries as
their standard bearers. They pick
Governor Eberhart to win at the
primaries.

The state immigration bureau has
appropriated $4,000 to aid in the Min
nesota exhibit at the Norwegian CEN
tennial to be held in Christiania this
year, and the boards action has been
the subject Of considerable criticism
from some Twin City publications.
At the last session of the legislature
an effort was made to secure an ap-
preparation OF $4,000, but it failed,
with the majority of the Norwegian
it. Some may think the late appro-
priation savors of politics, and prob
ably it does, hut am hardly of the
opinion that it is the kind that hurts.

Governor Eberhart's song, cts
Only YOU" composed, as he says,
while in a dentists chair undergoing
some repairs to his teeth, is to be
published in sheet music form and
soon will be or sale. TIE cover de-
sign by John L. Johnson, young st.
Paul artist, includes a picture of the
gifted composer and one of Mrs. Eber-
aart, to whom the governor dedicated
the song. It is a ballad and will
shortly be heard in the moving picture
houses. Makers of piano player music
are also negotiating for rights to use
the song.
