The goods are not there. AS to the
balance Of the Republican State ticket
II Is as rule the least of the voters
ingly Republican and the average
voter of that faith, if he has any-
thing on his chest, generally gets rid
or o., 1t after putting his cross opposite
his choice for governor or United
history and the record runs with only
one break in sixty-four years of
statehood. This one break was in
aSst 1881 when Adolph Bierman.- Demo-
R. McGurie, Republican of Polk
county, for the office Of state audi
tor by q vote of 1890 to $4,000.
sherman had the endorsement of not
farmers Alliance and the charge
that Mcclure was a tool of James
j. Hill of the Great Northern Rail-
way aided materially in his defeat
Doping the political future is ever
dangerous game as it is more fraugh
with disaster than ever near predicted
results but the margin of safety in
the present campaign is fairly wide
ana 1t runs to the belief of yours
sruly at least, that there Is only one
that is the re- election of the Republi-
can state ticket from Senator kellogg
ana Governor Preus down. This be-
lef was strengthened at the ST. Cloud
faaiy faa atv IN winch Senator Kellogg was
featured: 1t was emphasized by the
ovation rendered Governor Preus on
the occasion of the delivery of his kew
note at Montevideo this week and if
Iurther confirmation is wanted it is
found in the unwillingness of voters
generally gets square deal when the
the appeal of the opposition or it's
candidates. 1t is this lack of enthus-
lasm that tends to apathy and indiffer-
ence ana only one conclusion is possi-
n INV
q unit on those who at present occupy
the political high places and are seek
ing return. but a big majority Of
them are unable to see any improve
ment in those who are out and want to
breakin.
One of the really pleasing features
of the present state campaign is the
absence of mud singing on the part
Of the candidates and a studied effort
oy the country press especially to
treat treat all appeals fairly in their news
posed politically. If the press has
any views in opposition they are
voiced .editorially, but the candidate
generally gets suare deal when the
news columns are involved. Possibly
this feature of the campaign was
never better illustrated than in the
case of Mrs. Anna Dickie Olesen, the
Democratic candidate for United States
senator and even DR.. shipstead, SEN
atorial offering Of the Farmer-Labor
party. Both Republican and Independ-
ent publications have Joined in giving
the two news square deal and to
say that Mrs. Oleson is not receiving
the consideration and courtesy due
her sex and her talents would be to
give the lie to a line of newspaper
write-ups that cannot but be highly
satisfactory to Mrs. Olesen and her
supporters. Her meetings are gener-
ally well attended and Mrs Olesen has
left in her trail much good will and
cheer, which, if it does not get her
votes, will aid her materially in other
ways. Mrs. Olesen is decidedly canny
and DR.. Shipstead is equally adroit in
smoke screening the Socialistic crowd
behind his candidacy. They very
nicely pick flaws in the other follow
but they are unable to point out how
their own promotion will benefit out
side of their pocket books and their
political ambitions.
