Only once in its sixty years of statehood has : Minnesota repudiated the regular republican na- tional convention presidential nominee, and that , was in 1912 when President Taft, Woodrow Wil- son and Theodore Roosevelt were the principal contenders for its electorial vote. While Minne- gota did not go democratic, President Taft, the republican nominee, was not to the liking of the wvoters and Theodore Roosevelt was the choice instead with a record vote of® 125,856 to 64,334 for President Taft. Woodrow Wilson, who prevailed that year, par- ticipated in the general discontent to the extent of 108,426 Gopher state votes. The nearest Min- nesota ever came to invading the democratic col- umn was in 1916 when President Wilson with his “Kept us out of war” slogan upset all Gopher state traditions with a record vote of 179,544 to 179,152 for Hughes, his republican -rival. Minnesota has been voting her straight ever since 1860 when Abraham Lincoln was its presi- dential choice by a vote_of 22,069 to 11,920 for S. A. Douglas, the democratic candidate. Four years later the Immortal “Abe” was again the re- publican candidate, but his Minnesota majority. on this occasion was only 7,688. . In the following two national elections covering the years 1868-72, Gen. U. S. Grant was the repub- lican choice and he prevailed by a majority of 15,626 in 1868 and by 20,497 in ’72. In 1876, the Greenback party, the parent of practically all the third party inflictions that have since followed, made its appearance with Peter Cooper as its offering. The Greenback ticket, however, had little effect en the general result, it polling less than 2,500 votes. Hayes and Tilden had the popular call, the former prevailing by a majority of nearly 25,000. James A. Garfield was Minnesota’s choice in 1880 and James G. Blaine in 1884, the former finishing with a majority of 40,687 and the latter by 41,620. In each election the Greenback party was a contender. ) . In 1884, the prohibition party made its first bid for support with St. John as its cheice and found Minnesota agreeable to the extent of nearly 5,000 votes. Four years later the dry vote in Minnesota reached the 15,000 mark. Qe MINING AND MOVING COAL. That group of mine workers which thought it would defy the United States government, and go on ‘“vacations,” as a means-of defeating the government wage award, has found out the error of its way, and has returned to work. The uneasiness concerning coal for the coming winter has been general. Several weeks ago the interstate commerce commission issued an order giving preference for the shipment of 1,250,000 tons of coal monthly to New England through tidewater ports from Hampton Roads to New York. The situation - has improved sufficiently so that the present continuance of this emergency “order is regarded Bas unnecessary. According to the Railway Age the latest statistics regarding the amount of freight being moved by the railroads demonstrate that there has been as yet no decline of general business activity in the United States. This is evidenced by the fact that the demand for cars is greater than the railroads can supply. However, it has also been made plain by the statis- tics that the efficiency with which the railways are being operated is still increasing. For instance, 273,755 more carloads of freight were handled in . four weeks of:August, 1920, than for the same period last year. Railway management under ‘private ownership of the roads, has succeeded in speeding up the handling . of - transportation far beyond _anything shown in the days of the railroad administration, when “emgrgency orders” were an' everyday oc- curence. . When the railroad executives set a mark for an average of thirty miles per day per car several weeks ago, superciligus politicians. around Washington who hadn’t been able to get anywhere near that goal under pfiblic operation, said “it can’t be done.” But the railroad managers ' and operators have gqone ahead and made good on their promises, very much to the delight of the shippers of the country. P GERMANY IS “BEATING BACK.” Brokerage houses are specializing on German marks, and German city bonds are being offered and accepted by American investcrs, The “thrift”_ of the Germans is printed in financial pamphlets, and a good deal of bragging is done. by our late enemy. On top of this the United States shipping board is using its vigorous efforts to establish a joint arrangement between American and German steamship companies that will cause a resumption of the passenger and freight service between Ger- many and the American Atlantic ports.
