Jake Preus Popular in
the South as in North

The simple facts are That J. A. O.
Preus is a splendid type of American
young man. He has worked his way
up because he had ability, courage
and honesty. He inspired confidence
wherever he made acquaintance and
this accounts for the remarkable per-
sonal following he has all over Min
nesota. In the state convention he
was not nominated by the votes from
any one section of Minnesota, but he
drew votes from every section. In a
convention that adopted a tonnage
tax plank by vote of nearly three
to one, he was nominated on the next
roll call and before the roll call got
down to the letter 50 in the list of
counties.
Does any man not blinded by preju-
dice or not filled with the hate which
Socialists have for all those who OPP
pose them, believe for minute that
a convention so Overwhelmingly in
favor of a tonnage tax would I'M
MEDIATELY>n nominate as it's candi-
date man opposed to a tonnage tax
or who was the secret candidate of
the steel interests?-Long Prairie

RAISE AN UPROAR.

When anything is said detrimental
to the interests of the so-called Non
partisan league, Townley and his fell
low Socialists, who control the destin-
les of the league, raise a great uproar
to the effect that the person making
the charges is opposed to the farm
ers." Nothing could possibly be more
remote from the truth. Everyone
knows that in this state, agriculture
is the leading industry. Everyone
also knows that the farmers should
organize if they are to reap the just
rewards of their toll and of their in
vestment. But when farmers join an
organization they should be very sure
that theirs is an organization of the
farmers, by the farmers and for the
farmers, and not an organization of
the farmers by Mr.. ToWnley for the
Socialists.

Townley Nominee Refers
to the Ignorant Swedes''

AS his candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor of Minnesota on the Nonpar-
tisan ticket, Arthur G. Townley Sc
lected George H. Mallon. AS SOL
der, Captain Mallon's record is above
reproach. AS a diplomat, Mr.. Mallon
bats about .0O1. At the recent state
convention of the World War Vet
Grams, Mr.. Mallon asked, according to
press reports, whether that organiza-
ton was catering Ito the intelligent
people of Minnesota, or to lot of
ignorant Swedes." In as much as the
1910 census showed exactly 122,428
citizens of that nationality in Mime
sofa out of the states total of 2,075,-
708, one cannot help wondering how
the Swedish-born people of Minneso-
ia like the remark of Mr.. Townley's
candidate. The sentiment expressed
by Mr.. Mallon may not be shared by
Mr.. Townley, but to date, the latter
has not expressed any public disap-
proval of the atement.-Minneap-

Few men in Minnesota can boast
the distinction of having done as
much for the farmers of this state
as o. P. B. Jacobson, the popular
member of the Railroad and Ware
house Commission, who is asking re-
election. His only platform is his
record of achievement.
Mr.. Jacobson is known in all parts
of Minnesota for the unfagging zeal
he has always displayed on behalf of
the farmers and for his honesty and
unquestiOned devotion to public serv-
ice.
He was born in Fredriksvaern,
Norway, on July 2, 1857, but was
sent to Sandefjord to receive his
common school education. That COM
pleted, he began the study of naviga-
ton and was graduated before the
Navigation Board of Christiania.
After serving his apprenticeship on
Norwegian boats he became mate and
seemed destined for a life on the
briny.
Entered Newspaper Field.
Before he was 80 years old Mr..
Jacobson gave up the seafaring life
and sailed for America. He decided
on Minnesota as his future home and
in 1884 he settled in Fergus Falls.
He engaged in business and at vari-
Gus times sold farm implements and
bought grain. firing of the mercan-
tile world, he entered the newspaper
field and became editor of the Fergus
Falls "Ugeblad." Although not &C.
tive with that newspaper now he re-
mains president of the corporation
that publishes the "Ugeblad."
Ten years ago he was appointed
member of the state board of grain
appeals. So favorable an impression
did he make in this work that he was
appointed member of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission by
Governor A. o. Eberhart when
Charles F. Staples resigned to accept
position in Washington.
In November, 1914, he was elected
to the position to which he had been
appointed for a six-year term. AS a
member of the railroad and ware.
house commission, Mr.. Jacobson has
interested himself enthusiastically in
obtaining the fullest measure of jus.
tice for the grain-growers of the
state. He has interested himself
especially in the matter of grading
grain and in the establishment Of
adequate storage facilities for grair
and grain products at the Atlantic
seaboard terminals.
He has always contended that the
federal standards are entirely toe
technical for practical commercial
purposes and for being so inf1exible
as to work marked injustice to the
farmers and cause them immense
losses each year.
The farmers, especially those in the
spring wheat belt, are nearly unani
nous in demanding modification O
the federal regulations to such an ex
tent as virtually to restore the old state
grading system which was evolved aft
er practical. experience of thirty-fivt
years and which was adaptable to al
| he demands of commerce.

NOT A ONE-MAN DEAL.

We attended the State Republican
convention Saturday in St. Paul.
There were Senators, Representa-
tives, County Officers, Business men
and farmers from all over the state.
1t was not a one-man deal. Solid
delegations from the north and south
parts of the state voted for State
Auditor Preus for governor. Many
others were divided, but he was NOM
mated on the first ballot. Louis Col
Inns, 151st war veteran, was chosen
lieutenant governor, and Mike Holm
of Roseau, secretary of state. State

Leaders Are Red Radicals.
In 1914, A. G. Townley, the Presi-
dent of the Nonpartisan League, was
member Of the Socialist party of
North Dakota, and ran for the legis-
lature as Socialist. G. A. Lindbergh.
who was a candidate for Governor two
years ago, joined the Socialist party
shortly after his defeat for the nomf-
nation. David G. Coates, formerly
Lieutenant Governor of the State of
Colorado, was one of the founders of
the I. w. w. in 1905, according to his
own sworn testimony when he was a.
witness at the trial of Harry Orchard,
who was charged with the murder of
the Governor of Idaho, Mr.. Steunen-
berg. Mr.. Coates is said to have
been the first General Manager of the
Nonpartisan League.
The l. w. w. is the most radical or.
ganiZation of Socialists in this coun-
try. In article nine of its Constitution,
dealing with pledges for officers, we
find that the following pledge is neces-
sary before becoming an officer of the
I. W. W.: 81 believe in and under
stand the two sentences, The Working
Glass and the Employing Glass have
nothing in common and Labor is en-
titled to all it produces
You pay too much for your pottage
when you trade your birthright of pri-
vate property, religious freedom and
sacred ties of home for the imprac-
ticable visions of Socialist adventur-
ers. Let us not despoil ourselves of
our heritage; let us cherish the insti-
tutions of our fathers; let us preserve
the Republican form of government in
stituted by our forebears and perfect
ed by ourselves. Let us still believe
God, still cherish our love for mother
and for wife, still believe in our Amer
lean institutions, our families and our
| homes

Working by day and studying by
night, Mike Holm of Roseau overcame
adversities that beset him in his youth
and is today living example of what
America can do for a young man who
is ambitious and Industrious.
He came of poor Woodworking par
ents, who lacked the means to send
the son through school. At the age of
IL, he decided that where there is a
will there is a way and ever since he
has made his own way in the world.
Mr.. Holm was born June II, 1876.
His early days were spent on his
parents homestead in Marshall coun-
ty, where his father was one of the
pioneers in blazing the trail of civiliza-
ton through the wild wastes of that
district. At the age of II, the family
moved to farm in Roseau county.
A year later, the young Mike decided
he would strike out for himself and
then began his struggle for a liveli-
hood, without parental help.
County Coroner at Twenty-one.
He received most of his early educa-
ton in the schools of Warren, working
at various occupations when school
duties did not demand his attention.
After graduating in the public schools
at Warren, be took business course
in the evenings and his application to
his work won the praise of his teach
rs and laid the foundation for his later
career.
His popularity among the older men
of the county was widely commented
upon and despite his objection he was
made a candidate for county coroner
when he was only FL. He was easily
elected. Shortly after that he was
made justice of the peace. He held
the latter position for years.
In 1902 he became a candidate for
judge of probate and success again
crowned his efforts. So excellent a
public official was he that he has held
that office ever since. During the last
10 years he has had no opposition at
the polls.
He has always been most actively
interested in public affairs and has
held number of positions of trust
Among these posts are: President OF
the Commercial Club; member of the
village council; president and member
of the school board for 10 years; presi
dent and secretary of the county fair
association; secretary of the CONNER
cial Club; trustee of the Presbyterian
church, president of the Old Settlers
Association of Roseau county; director
of the Minnesota Red River Valley
Development Association and presi.
dent of the Minnesota County Elk
hibitors' association.
Made State Fair Official.
For the last four years he has been
a member of the Minnesota State
Fair Board. This honor came to him
in recognition of the work he had done
in supervising the exhibits of Roseau
county at the state fair each year. Fol-
four years, Roseau won the first prize
for the best exhibit shown and las
year, Roseau defeated all other coun
ties by SO points.

CONSIDER NORTH DAKOTA.

North Dakota has had a sad, sad
experience with the Townley league.
Taxes have been enormously in
creased, capital has been forced out of
the state, a spirit of strife has been
encouraged and engendered, and the
prairies have become the herd ground
of the Red radicals. If you don't
want North Dakota conditions repeat
ed in Minnesota, vote for Preus, Col
Inns, Hilton, Rines, Holm and Jacob
son.

TRIBUTE TO VALOR.

The selection of the gritty little

If you had a business that handled
some 100000 each year you would
want rather trustworthy, capable
man to be in charge, wouldn't you?
The business conducted by the State
of Minnesota on Capitol Hill amounts
to that figure.
The man who is responsible for
the safeguarding of the states vast
treasure is Henry Rines, who is be-
fore the voters of this state for re-
election. Mr.. Rines, who is now serv-
ing his second term at that post,
has proved his fitness for the place
and his conscientious application to
duty, his integrity and his sound bust
ness administration entitle him to en-
dorsement at the polls.
Practically Minnesota Product.
Mr. Rines is 4S years old and is
native of Orsa, Sweden. Like many
another Swedish family, the parents
of the little Henry cast their eyes on
far off America when he was a babe
in arms and the stories they heard
of this great country prompted them
to leave their native land when he
was year old. They came directly
to Minnesota and settled in Isanti
county. In 1876, the Rines family
uOV6u W hdudUSC COuuLy anu L16
state treasurer has lived there ever
since. His home is in Mora where
he edits newspaper and conducts a
real estate business. At the age of %
he was elected county auditor. He
held that post for ten years.
In 1906, Mr.. Rines became a candf-
date for the legislature and was elect
ed to the lower house. Three times
he was reelected and in his last term,
1913, he was presiding officer. His
term as speaker was marked by dras-
tic changes in the administration of
affairs of the house. One of his first
moves was to reduce the number of
employees by one-third. He also was
instrumental in revising the rules of
the house that went long way toward
facilitating legislation.
Legislative Activities Many.
AS a result of Mr.. Rines' activities
the expenses of the 1913 session were
33 l 70 per cent lower than previous
sessions. One of his greatest achieve
ments was the introduction and pass
age of bill repeating the old mineral
lease law. This did away with the
practice of mining companies taking
ore out of state lands at a royalty
of only rs cents a ton. This act saved
the state school fund many millions of
dollars, Governor John A. Johnson de-
clared short time before he died.
