Sees Fighting Chance"
Minnesota, q normally Republican
state, presents mountainous diff
culties to the Democrats this year
as always-but Governor Smith en-
tered the State today with no little
confidence that he will be able to SO
appeal to the old La Toilette in.
surgent following as to give him at
least "a good fighting chance" to
carry the States IL electoral votes
in November.
The fact that no Democratic can
didate for the presidency since re.
construction days has ever carried
Minnesota has not discouraged him.
The closest any Democrat ever came
to carving the State for President
was in the memorable election OF
1915. when woodrow Wilson came
within 393 votes of it in an election
that polled 35S,696 votes. The re-
suit was in doubt for days.
Carried by Roosevelt
Even in 1912, the year Of the great
Republican split, the Democrats
could not carry it. The result that
wear was Roosevelt, 1856; Wilson,
los ,426; Taft, 64,S34.
Four years ago President Coolidge
won the State by a majority OF
1854 over both La Toilette and
Davis. The figures were: Coolidge.
420,759; La Toilette, 339, 1872, and
Davis, 55,913.
Notwithstanding this record the
Smith managers this year are dis
tinctly and sincerely hopeful. Their
confidence Is based largely on the
assurances Of old La Toilette leaders
that most of the independent vote Of
1924 will go for Smith, and upon
other widely varying factors local to
the situation in Minnesota.
They are counting upon the
present low price of wheat, for one
thing, and for another upon the fact
that some Of the most influential
farm leaders Of the State are against
Hoover.

to complicate matters by taking any

Oof national life in which youth must

He declared the Republican patty

the young men and women after a
eeries Of important but rather mys-
ferrous conferences with DIR. Hubert
Z Work, national chairman; Franklin
Fort, national secretary; Senator
George II. Moses, Eastern manager.
and Col. Horace Mann, Southern
manager.
All four denied having discussed
the status of Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, but shed no light on
their conferences with Hoover.
Important Decision
In addressing the first voters"
Hoover told them they were max
ing the most important decision
of their lives" in selecting a party
alignment.
you are young and active and
the Republican party has always
been the party of action; action
for the benefit of the country at
large without regard to sectional or
70 special interests" said Hoover.
He added that the Republican party
was lever young" because ut has
caught the step of progress"
ITO youth belongs idealism,"
Hoover continued. Our ideals in
national life must be the inspira-
ton and the guide in our actions.
] welcome you into the Republican
party, for the party must go on
lover generations and the burden
lies on you to carry the banner
forward to the next genera tioh7'

Hoover by saying he was chairman
of the campaign and often came

Words Of Wisdom

terred with Hoover over some i'm.
a portant political matters affecting
Lne state over which l keep a
watchful eye. He said he and Hoo.
yer were in complete agreement"
and that MIR. Hoover gave me
some words of wisdom"
Colonel Mann said he called on
the nominee to discuss Hoover's
visit to Elizabethton, Tenn, on
October 26.
After spending four presidential
campaigns on the sidelines, Senator
William Z. Borah, has assumed so
important a role in the drive to elect
Hoover that he has become the Re-
publican nominees right hand
man." it was learned today at Hoover
headquarters.
The nominee and Senator have
established such intimate political
relations. it was said that Borah
has the right to be called Hoover s
sp6kegnan.

CONFESSES IGNORANCE.

Mr Sutherland said in his speech Saturday night that he had never heard a definition of full Che called it "true'D Territorial form Of Government We'll said that MT. Suther- land is wholly ignorant of American history or the science of government He admits lot of the charge. He is even ignorant of recent his tory-ignorant of the history of his own time.
 II was President Taft, Chief Justice of the United States, that in comparing the limited form of Territorial government Alaska has with the sort of government other American Terri tories had, characterized the form of government given the other Territories "the full Terri torial form of government" President Wilson also used the term in his first message to Con gress in 1913
 Judge Wickersham once complained of the term full Territorial form, of government" and said he did not know what was meant by it.. However, that was during campaign and probably he, aso thought that was the easiest way out. However at the next session of Con gress Judge Wckersham showed that he knew exactly what meant He introduced bill that eliminated the Limitations in powers and added other powers to those of the Legs- lature, which, if it had become law, would have given us the full Territorial form of govern ment" However, he never pressed his bill for passage
 Full Territorial form of government would give Territory practically all the powers d State exercises except that of participating in National affairs. It would permit the Territory to organize counties and thus bring the govern men directly to the people. The other Terri tories did not always organize all their areas into counties They had organized counties and what was characterized "unorganized' terri tory. Alaska might do likewise Ii woald re- move a list of limitations that is too long for this comment
 
 The editor of The Empire was born in a Ter ritory of the United States-a Territory with a full Territorial form of government-that had but 23.000 population in the next census after his birth. He was born in county that had less than 400 population at the time of his birth The Territory and the county managed to keep practically out of debt and they laid a foundation for rapid growth. Clalam County, Washington, had population of 63S in 1880, and 1t not the smallest county in the Ter ritcry, and Washington Territory had 75,000 It had grown from 23,000 in ten years. Nine years later Washington admitted as a State with 350,000 population. The full Territorial form of government did not retard the growth and development of that Territory, which con tained more than 300, 900 square miles before the Territories of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming were organized.
