M1TTEE, D. D. DAILY, CHAIRMAN
While the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee has held off from
starting the campaign until the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive is prac.
tically completed, all indications point
to a lively campaign once the issues are
presented squarely to the people
Each individual nominee on the dem.

form Of all. ;.:iw to statc: ,:,.. T.
man D. d. DAILY will DC the good CID

Special privileges TO Nonc.' And
they do say there is need Of a return
to that principle, in more than one de-
partment Of Minnesota IS administrative

of the marble Capitol at ST. Paul.

Naturally interest centers on the
head Of the ticket. It is generally
conceded that the man who received
the nomination at the hands of the
rank and file in the June primary, is
Fred E. Wheaton is known best for the
marvellous campaign that was conduct
ed under his leadership as state chair
man in 1916 for Woodrow Wilson. In
that campaign he practically perform
ed the miracle of carrying Minnesota
for a democratic presidential candidate.

And then the Public began to ask
about Wheaton. What manner of man
was he. They found on investigation
that he was an American of undoubted
integrity, knightly gentleman who has
a big place in his heart for all human
ity, one overflowing with milk of kind
ness. His innate modesty prevented it
becoming known earlier that he possess
ed administrative and executive ability
Of a high order, for he had managed
large affairs for a leading fraternal
order in. all quarters Of the globe for
many years. Among his neighbors in
Minneapolis his ability is recognized.
Mr.. Wheaton opened his campaign
at Red Wing last Thursday. In his
speech there he outlined the issues.
At time when all patriotic people are
supporting the great President at
Washington they will want Officials in
every state who are undoubtly in
hearty sympathy with President Will
son. Of the gubernatorial candidates
in Minnesota at this time, there is but
one who qualities 100 per cent. in this
regard and the name Of that candidate
is Wheaton-Wheaton for governor.

Considerable careful prepared camou'
flage was unscrambled last week when
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee issued it's spicy and interesting cir
cular dealing with the loyalty record
of Governor Burnquist. The halo that
his excellency carefully adjusted to him
self by the contrast the June primary
of his own party luckily provided, has
dimmed greatly in the light of his slow,
hesitating and painful record during the
months of April, May, June, etc. etc.
of 1917 No doubt he would like that
to be forgotten; but heather Teddy nor
anyone else can obscure it.

Chas. A. Lethert, democratic candi-
date for clerk of the Supreme Court,
Mueller's opponent, is making great
campaign and receiving splendid en-
couragement wherever he goes. he IS
particularly fitted for the duties OF the
position and will, if elected, be credit
to the office.
The numerous friends Of Edward
Indrehus of Foley, Democratic candi'
date for Secretary Of state, are plan
ming to take over his campaign for MN
because he is out of it on account OF the
death of his only son in a military hos
pital. Edwin, nineteen years old, vol
unteer in America IS fighting ranks. The
Young man died of pneumonia following
an attack of Spanish influenza. Mr.:
Indrehus has been active in all forms OF
patriotic work. He is now called upon
to meet the supreme test OF devotion
to his countrywide loss Of his son en-
rolled in The Service.
And if the Burnquist people are such
sayiors of Minnes0ta-such protectors
! of the states fair name from Townley'
ism. WHY 80 gleeful they when Evans
trotted forth' WY " = 2ray'
Also doesn't it amuse one to see
Townley's man, Herman Mueller, snug

didates, Burnquist and all, both in PIC
ture and text. Constancy, thou art
