Every effort is being made by the democratic party in this state to disrupt and disorganize the republicans by accomplish- ing the defeat of the republican candidate for governor. The only issue which the democrats present is that the republican state convention was unfair and can nominee for governor isa thief and a swindler, With such choice arguments as these the democrats hope to gain control of the state, not through their own worthiness but by creating dissension in the ranks of the republicans. We challenge the democratic leaders of Minnesota to show one instance in which they have at- tempted to put the presentcam- paign upon a_higher. plane than the mud slinging named above, The republican who allows such arguments to affect his vote is simply giving himself as a catspaw to pull the democratic chestnuts out of the fire. In the first place, everybody knows that the first ballot taken in the republican state cenven- tion gave Robert C. Dunn, the republican nominee, a clear ma jority of34 1-2 votes over all other candidates counting the contested delegations of Henne- pin and Ramsey against Mr, Dunn. The republican nominee had a clear majority counting every contested vote against him, and the republican who bolts his party nominee under such cir- cumstances thereby repudiates the whole theory of representa- tive government so dear to the heart of every American citi- zen. arguments In the second place, how does it happen that State Auditor Dunn has suddenly become a thief and a swindler, simply be- cause he has been nominated for governor, when democrats, populists and republicans for ten years past have united in de- claring that he has made the most efficient public servant the state ever had? John A, John- son, himself, the democratic can- didate for governor, after Dunn had been state auditor for three years said, “Bob has made the best state auditor Minnesota has had andheis a strong man for any office.” Mr. Johnson had no axe to grind at that time: he was simply telling the truth, Why not have fair play in this campaign? A DuLuTH gentleman recently stated in an interview published inone of the Duluth papers and widely copied that while Bemidji would always “be the hub of northern Minnesota” and a splendid town as a lumberjack center it had seen its palmiest days.

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be sur- prised at the great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy: It not only cures colds . and grip effectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from re- sulting in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whoop- ing cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It con- tains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to baby as toan adult. It is pleasant to take. ~ When all these facts are taken into consid- eration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

DRAINAGE OF SWAL.P LANDS R. C. Dunn Strongly Favors Exten- sive Work Being Done and John A. Johnson Op- posed It. R. C. Dunn, the Repuolican candi- date for governor, has taken a firm stand in favor of the drainage of swamp lands. It is no new position for Mr. Dunn, for as far back as 1889, when he was in the legislature and the question first arose, Mr. Dunn was strongly in favor of the proposition for the drainage of swamp land and secured the state and other aid for that purpose. In a speech delivered by Mr. Dunn at West Duluth on Aug. 26, 1904, Mr. Dunn said: “All of Northern Minnesota and Duluth in particular is deeply interested in the reclamation of the hundreds of thou- sands of acres of swamp lands owned by the state. The original purpose of the grant by congress was for reclaim- ing these lands. Our seemed to think that aiding in the construction of railroads was a com- pliance with the terms of the grant, |} for about three million acres have been diverted to that purpose. By virtue of the constitutional amend- ment, adopted in 1881, the proceeds of the sales of swamp lands remaining or that may hereafter accrue to the state are devoted to the educational and charitable institutions. One small tract of swamp land containing about thirty-six acres will swell the state’s institutions fund, it is estimated, by half a million dollars. That tract is located in St .Louis county, and it was owing to the iniatory steps taken by me that it was secured to the state. “The state cctll well afford to spend large sums annually in reclaim- ing its swamp lands, and the in- creased selling price of the lands thus benefited would amply repay for the outlay; besides, it would mate rially aid the upbuilding and develop- ment of Northern Minnesota. The counties in which these swamp lands are mainly situated are naturally tributary to Duluth.” In strong contrast to the position of Mr. Dunn on this important quew- tion of drainage, a question which al- most as deeply interests the people of Southern Minnesota as it does those of the northern districts, for the rea- son that drainage works undertaken to reclaim state swamp lands means that those lands will be enhanced in value, and the state school funds and state institutions funds will be direct beneficiaries of the increased value is the position of John A. Johnson, the Democratic candidate for gov- ernor. In 1899 when Mr. Johnson was serving in the senate he had an op- portunity to vote on a bill (S. F. No. 211) which provided for the creation of a drainage commission and for the drainage of marshy and swamp lands of the state and an appropriation of money to-carry out the provisions of the act. There were eight senators who voted against this' measure. and among the number was Jolin A. John- son, the present Democratic candi- date for governor. Since becoming a gubernatorial candidate Mr. John- son evidently sees that he was very much mistaken in 1899, and row he professes to be a convert to the propo- sition of reclaiming and draining the vast areas of swamp lands in North- ern Minnesota. How sincere he may be in this eleventh hour of repentance is left to the voters to judge. JOHNSON OPPOSED SWAMP LANDS DRAINAGE In his speech at Minneapolis Mr. Johnson said: “Swamp land drain- age is a business proposition, and ad- mits of no argument. * * * [t jg good policy for the State of Minnesota to convert this class of lands info farms for the Minnesota settler.” Mr. Johnson seems to have seen a new light in regard to this matter of drain- age, for on page 594 of the senate legislature | 2 would break at the least exertion.
