Pure Bunk-N0thingM More.
Since Adolph Eberhart was the
originator of many Of these UNI
necessary boards that the news
papers about the state are clam
oring TO have disposed al, why
not attempt to remove the cause
before attempting to remove the
effect Owatonna Tribune.
The author if the above is either
ldensely ignorant or maliciously mis-
represents. All boards are establish
ed by legislative enactment. The
House in the last two regular sessions
has been decidedly anti-Eberhart as
amy man knows who has kept in touch
with affairs in this state. The Trib-
|une's statement is about as reliable as
the rest of the allegations the opposi-
tion promulgates in their dire extrem-
lily. The people are too intelligent to
be fooled by such tactics.
Preus for State Auditor.
Rock County Herald: The fling of
j. A. O. Preus as Republican can
|didate for state auditor is the most
gratifying thing that has transpired
in state politics in a long time.
This is true because it gives to the
people candidate for this important
Office against whom no man can say
word; because it gives to the people a
candidate who is -eminently quail
fled for the office sought, and because
in the nomination and election of Mr..
Preus the people of Minnesota will
secure the services of an official whose
integrity and fidelity to their interests
and whose ability to discharge his
duties in highly efficient manner will
never be questioned.
Will They Get Away With It?
Springfield Advance: After the
bunch of professional politicians have
succeeded in selecting candidate to
oppose Gov. Eberhart, will they be
able to make the unsuspecting voter
believe that their antics are not
prompted with malice aforethought !?
The henchmen who are promoting the
present "holier than thou" spirit are
too Familiarity known to be able to
carry things with blast of .trumphets
for the average voter in these enlight-
ened times is doing his own thinking
and he may be counted on to act ac-
cordingly. Strange as it may seem,
these same politicians rent the very
walls of the capitol building two years
ago with a flow of oratory in their
mad desire Co get wide-open prim-
airy, being prompted by the belief that
the second choice feature would speed
lily place Gov. Eberhart in the super
anuated class. The promoters expect
ed the opposition of the Governor, but
the late political history of the state
shows that at the appointed time he
rendered valuable assistance to his OPP
ponents by calling an extra session
and securing the wide-open primaries,
and in the face Of this condition not
only received the nomination, but also
was elected. The same interests which
opposed him at that time are now en-
deavoring to come back to the old con-
vention system by holding a discon-
solate meeting in an endeavor to tell
the people of Minnesota whom to elect
as chief executive. In the meantime
Gov. Eberhart has demonstrated his
sunny disposition by applying a few
spare moments writing love song,
which he dedicated to Mrs. Eberhart.
