The Union takes a particular in
terest in the candidacy of Henry
Rines for the republican nomination
for state auditor for several reasons ::
He is eminently qualified to dis
charge the duties OF that important
Office by reason of his long service as
auditor of Kanabec county and his
large legislative experience which
brought him closely in touch with
state affairs. BESIDES, Mr.. Rines is
an expert accountant, and his per-
sonal character is spotless. For
these reasons Mr.. Rines would make
an ideal; state auditor. s:s,. H. - :.

the wittiest, most sensible and op-
timistic articles that we have read in

Horace Greedy once said that all
democrats we're not horse thieves,
but all horse thieves were demo-
Gratis. All the newspapers and poll
ticians supporting Mr.. Eberhart for
a fourth term as governor and J. A.
o. Preus for state auditor are not
venal, but every venal newspaper in
the state and every underling and
whipper-in of the big interests, es'
pecially the servile servitors of the
public service corporations in the
larger cities, are arrayed against Lee
and Rines in the. present fight.

Of course the Union wants to see
Irving A. Caswell succeed himself as
clerk of the supreme court, and we

to second term. Nothing more is
necessary to be said in behalf of Mr..

the BEST auditors of the state. AS
a four term legislator he stood for
what he believed to be right
and for the best interests of the
state and boodlers and grafters
steered clear of him.
Henry Rines' private character
and his conduct as an official is sim
ply unassailable. There is not a
crooked hair in his head. He is in
capable of dishonest act.
Then why should he have such
strenuous opposition? Simply be-
cause of his honesty and straight.
forwardness he has incurred the enmi-
ty of certain predatory interests that
have dominated the politics of this
state for the past dozen years.
Mr.. Preus, Mr.. Rines' opponent,
may be and undoubtedly is fine
young man, but he is backed by a
gang. of arrogant spoilsmen, by every
politician for revenue only, by the
tools and underlings of: the public
service corporations and by every
venal newspaper in the state.

Naturally enough, the Svenska
Folkets Tidning, publishes photo
graphs of Eberhart and Preus, side
by side, on it's first page and urges
Scandinavian voters to support them.
Henry Rines was born in Sweden but
the Svenska Fo]kets Tidning has not
word to say in his behalf. Think
ing Scandinavians, Henry Rines is a
poor man and you can we'll under
stand why he cannot afford to pur'
chase advertising space in the Sven.

Three terms is long enough for any
man to hold the office of governor.
At the end of his present term Gov
ernor Eberhart will have served prac-
tically three terms, and there is nc
valid reason why, he should be &C.

II A year ago the village of Princeton
was about the only place in the state
where Good Roads. Day was properly
observed Here on that day at least q: i
100 men and half as many teams
volunteered and a stretch Of fine

on the outskirts OF the village. We

with individuals anxious to better

succeed in exposing their own ignor-

One of the brightest newspaper
men in the Twin Cities writes the
publisher: "You are, right, Bob;
there is a Rines awakening. 4
month ago it looked as if Preus had
things coming his way. His sup
porters were noisy and arrogant and
he seemed to have most of the city
newspaper men on his staff, and the
news was colored in his favor.
There has been no change of senti-
ment throughout the state, for You
and I both know that Henry Rines
had the people behind him all the
time, but his friends were not as
boisterous as those of Mr.. Preus.
Now Mr.. Rines' friends are begin
ming to be heard FROM The indie
pendent press of the state has stirred
them to action and I verify believe
it will be a landslide for Henry.
Governor Eberhart's friends also are
beginning to realize that it was a
fatal mistake to force Preus into the
race. But Preus being of Norwegian
ancestry they thought it would help
the governor, besides they had nc
love for Rines. Ed Smith, I am
told, argued against Preus' candi-
dacy, but he was overruled by the
younger members of the governor
official family. Many of Rines
friends were not unfriendly to the
governor until Preus became an an.
nounced candidate for state auditor.
Now almost every one Of them is
fighting under the Lee banner. : II
is my deliberate Judgment that Lee
and Rines will have five figure ma
jorities. - .,. ~: >,,.--s. ~,

Little Rock, Jan. 14.-In response
to request by Mayor James D. Dy-

on the subject, Attorney General
Moose has advised him that it is
against the law to keep open livery
stable on Sunday. He cites several
authorities, and concludes:
From these authorities think it
is fairly clear that the ordinary busi-
ness of livery man is no more a
work of necessity on the Sabbath day
than any other business. In case Of
funeral on the Sabbath the fur
nishing of vehicles, should think
would be considered a work of ne
cessity, and the liveryman would vi
olate no law in furnishing such &C
commodations."
