COUNTY OPTION.

Still Subject Of Considerable Inter-
est Among the People,.
S. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 20, 1914.
To The Editor of THE APPEAL:
l read with much interest the COM
munication signed by Mr. Chandler,
In reference to the cOlored vote and
how his rights and privileges are af-
fected by county option and prohibit
ton laws, and l heartily subscribe to
the sentiments expressed in his COM
munication.
II | may be accorded space in your
columns, would like to suggest that
the sentiments of Mr.. Chandler apply
with equal force to gubernatorial can
| didates and l think the attention of
the colored voter ought to be called to
the fact that the two principal candi-
dates for the office of Governor stand
absolutely opposed to each other up
! on this question, which is of so much
Importance to the colored man, as ex.
pressed in Mr.. Chambers letter.
Mr.. Lee has declared unequivocally
for county option and prohibition and
the people decide this question for
apparently he is not satisfied to let
according to his way of thinking and
should the majority Of the people of
Minnesota decide against county op-
ton, Mr.. Lee will consider that the
majority is. wrong because they have
not agreed with him. He pledges him
self in advance (no matter what the
verdict Of the people may be) to in
sist upon the passage Of county op-
ton bill at the next session of the
legislature
Mr.. Hammond, on the other hand,
is willing to let the people decide this
matter for themselves and will not
use the influence of the office to Sc
cure the enactment Of county option
law.
This is fair statement of the atti.
tude of these two candidates upon this
question and aside from his attitude
upon this question, there is another
thing that, it seems to me, ought to
be brought home to our people and
that is this:
Mr.. Lee can hardly claim the sup
port of the Republicans as Republi-
can for the reason that he himself has
not supported the Republican candi-
dates and policies in the past. He
failed to support Taft and Eberhart
in the last campaign and therefore no
Republican Of our race need to feel
that he owes anything to Mr.. Lee by
reason of his party allegiance.
Very truly yours,
r. M. johnson.

MONEY SAVED TO TAXPAYERS.

There are eleven amendments to be
voted for on November 3rd next on
the pink ballot to amend the Constitu-
ton of the State of Minnesota.
1t will be remembered that the last
legislature extended the terms of all
the county officers to four years, ex-
cepting that of the Judge of Probate,
the terms of the Probate Court being
fixed by the constitution, it requires
majority Of the votes cast to change
the term and the legislature therefore
submits Amendment No. to the vot-
ers to extend the term. If Amendment
No. is not carried the County will
be put to a heavy expense to hold an
election expressly to elect the Judge
of Probate as he alone will be elected
for two years, it will, therefore be
economy for the taxpayers to vote for
the extension of the term. VOTE FOR

Mr.. Editor:
In these non-partisan days in poll
tics, it is quite possible that voters

pointed him to fill out the unexpired

During the several years he has
served on the District bench, he has
discharged his duties with such
marked ability and satisfaction to
both the bar and the people, that his
friends all over the state urged him
to be candidate for Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court.
You will recall no doubt that it was
Judge Johnson's decision in the Rail.

Of Ramsey County.
John Wagner, the present Sheriff
of Ramsey County, is native o1 st.
Paul and has lived here all his life and
has been actively engaged in business.
He has always taken lively interest
in politics and has made good in every
position he has held. When he was
elected four years ago he promised to
distribute the patronage of his office
so as to recognize all nationalities and
so far as the Afro-Americans are con-

are among his present force and will
of course remain if he is elected. This
