Asa Boosts julius

Hon. julius A. Schmahl's filing as a
candidate for Governor will cause no
surprise in political circles, as this
move was expected.
In the announcement published else
where IN this issue Of the Herald Mr.
Schmahl states that it should be fully
understood that file as Republican
Ia Republican without any prefix OF
suffix, and without any apology for
my Republicanisnl." His platform is
broad and if carried out would insur,
to the benefit and development of the
State.
Months ago, Mr. Schmahl urged the
rank and file of the Republican party
to get together in an elimination con-
ference and select the cadidates for
governor and other state offices. Of
tho numerous passive and active aspir-
ants for Governor he is the only one
who has taken this broad stand-the
only plan, by the way, which will
make it certain that the Republicans
will name their party candidate.
julius is an old newspaper man. Dur
ing his service as secretary Of state
his name has become household word.
He will make most formidable can
didate and if elected, worthy chief
executive. The Herald is glad to spon-
/ ser Mr.. Schmahl's candidacy. Asa

ginning Feb. l, members of the bonus

COWan Upheld IN
Case of lundeen
GOVERNOR FINDS BIG STONE
SHERIFF JUSTIFIED IN TRY
ING TO PREVENT SPEECH.

The action of Sheriff John Gowan,
Big Stone county, in preventing Err
nest Lundeen, former Minneapolis con-
gressman,. from delivering a speech in
Ortonville on tho night Of November II
against the league Of nations was en-
tirely justified understhe circumstanc-
es and was such as to save Lundeen
from serious injury, Governor Burn
quist, found in an order issued last
week dismissing the custer proceed
ings brought against Sheriff Gowan
for alleged nonfeasance and malfeas-
ance in office.
The evidence, according to the find
ings, shows clearly that Sheriff Cow
an was not present and did not assist
or permit Lundeen to be put in re-
frigerator car, as alleged. On the con-
trary, the Governor found that the
sheriff, on learning that Lundeen was
taken to the railroad station, hurried
|therl in an automobile to protect him
from injury, but arrived after the train
had left.
The Governor further found that A.
M. Senlrau, who arranged the meeting
at which Lundeen was to speak, adj
vised that the meeting be postponed
because of possible disturbance.
