D..I. 1 the Cass Lake Times perpetrates this one: ‘Minnesota Democrats think its John A. on-the- spot” SERIES IR ate Jomn LinpD has declined the nomi- nation as candidate for justice of the supreme court and At, a meeting of the state committee held at St Paul dast Wednesday,’ O. M, Hall of Red Wing was selected to succeed him on the ticket. Mr. Hall has accepted. Spe pe 1n THE selection of Frank A. Day, ef Fairmont, as chairman of the Democratic state committee, the party has made a wise selection. There is no more earnest advocate of true Democracy in the state than Editor Day; he is a worker of tireless energy and withal one who under- stands Minnesota politics and politi- gians to-an extent that will keep the urther fellows busy. eg PropLE hereaway would scarcely believe how general is the dissatisfae- hion among Republicans of the state with the candidacy of Dunn unless per chance they should mingle with the masses of southern Minnesota. Dunn may be elected, but if he should jt will be by a greatly reduced majori- ty. The Democrats made uo mistake in nominating John A. Johnsen, —— ‘THE Herald-Review does not wish to interfere with Cass county politics, but this paper would like to see our old friend, J. E. Johnston elected to the office of sheriff of that county, fur which position he is a candidate on the Republican ticket. The people ef Itasca have had experience with Mr. Johuston in connection with the shrievalty of this county and he is acknowledged to be one cf the most competent officials in Minnesota. _—oo: “Any one who doubts that the country press controls Minnesota politics, should glanee casually over the personnel of the state tickets and campaign managements. Both-candi- dates aud one manager are taken from the country press. City journ- alism is represented by the other manager,” says News and Comment in Duluth News Tribune. And it might not be out of order to here ree mark that Mare McFadden should be a member of the country press push. READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN. Not for many a year have the prep- arations for a Democratic state cam- paignin Minnesota been got under way with sv brilliant a promise of sucess. You feel 1t everywhere, you hear it wherever politics form a topic pf conversation, It is in the air and foremost in the thought of almost every man you meet. At this early stage of the proceedings Republicans are alarmed, sullen and each man ready vigorously to cast upon the other responsibility for the lament- able state of affairs acknowledged to exist within the party. From every quarter, from every county in the state, most of all from strongholds hitherto Republican, comes a perfect hailstorm of assurances of support for John A. Johnson, the popular gandidate of Democracy. The reception that Mr. Johnson re- ceived from his friends and neighbors ppon his return to his home on ‘Thurs- day night indicates the reception that the people of Minnesota are preparing for him. His nomination has aroused areal enthusiasm that penetrates to every corner of the state. In St. Peter, where be has lived and worked and became a familvar figure, in Nicollet county, that is proud of him and has honored him, opinion is well. nigh unanimous. Everybody is tor Johnson; and Republicans, as well as Democrats, are not afraid 9 say so. This is but the beginning of the ris- ing tide that is destined to sweep away Republican power in this state in November and give to Minnesota a cleav and strong and reputable ad- winistrotior. Every preparation made for the gampaign augurs well four success. Onecould scarcely believe that a short time ago there were serious differences pf opinion and hot feelings in one : 2 quarter or another among our.Demo-, crats, so thoroughly have these been fused into one great wave of harmoni- ous enthusiasm. of getting to work is that absolute harmony shall prevail everywhere. To this end every element in the party and every man prominent in its con- duct has been carefully and courteous- ly consulted, as it is his right that he should be. We are not xoing into this battle with divided forces or with the brand of ostracism upon any man. It is enough for us all that he should be a Democratic to be eatitled to his equal place in the ranks and at the board of council. The selection of Frank A. Day, of Fairmont, as manager of the canvass, is an especialiy happy one. Mr. Day is one of the most popwar men in Minnesota, and one of the shrewdest and most competent political man- agers and workers in the party. He knows the state, he understands the game, and under his direction the state campaign wiil be a rattling and successful one. Mr. Johnson and the party are to be congratulated upon Mr. Day’s consent to assume the onerous duties of the campaign man- agement, and they will reap the re- ward of his experience and ability. The lines have been drawn, and we are ready for the battle. There should not bea moment’s respite or a day’s delay. If an election were to be held tomorrow, we confidently believe that Mr. Johnson would be chosen yover- nor by a substantial majority. Every influence at work in his favor will grow stronger and stronger from now until November. We have sixty days in which to push his cause, tu take advantage of all the favoring winds that olow in his direction, to stir intustorm such enthusiasm for Demo- cracy as has not been seen in Minne- sota before. We have a reunited, rejuvenated, compact, patriotic, fearless and con- fident party behind us. Minnesota Democracy has been transformed from a name into a form of power. The stute can be won, The biggest part of the battle has alreapy been fought and the enemies are surround- ed. Let us fall upon them hip and thigh. without quarter, and the Dewveratic party will once more come back to powerin Minpesota. — St. Paul Globe. -* LEGISLATIVE COMPLICATIONS. There appears to be no likelihood of an amicable political adjustment between the two Republican legis- lative candidates of Itasca county. Mr. Seaman was the first to enter the tleld and be has steadfastly adhered to his original purpose to remain in the «contest and fight ,it out. When he announced his candidacy several weeks ago there was no op- position apparent in the ranks of his own party, and as Democrats have other business to look after they were perfectly willing that he should be. one uf the next representatives in the state legislature from the Fifty-second district. As a citizen and business man Mr. Seaman stands high in this county and aside from the talk of the up-country press in favor of Editor Greeley, he was the only candidate mentiored until Mr. King jumped into the arena, Sea- man has mage a pretty thorough in- vestigation of the situation through- out the district and he expresses him- self as being entirely satistied witb the encouragement which he has re- ceived. Nothing can be offered against him and there is much to be Said in his behalf. The people of this county demand an advocate of swamp land drainage and on this subject Mr. Seaman has emphatically expressed himself. If elected he will introduce aud urge the passage of a measure Carry a sufficient appropria- tien to inaugurate a substantial system of drainage that will there- after tind no difficulty in securing a continuance of liberal appropriations. The tirst battle will require an able advocate in the" face of strong opposition from southern districts. Mr. Seaman is a man of determina- tion and ability. He is fearless and absolutely honest. He knows no such word as surrender in that which he undertakes. He will not be found to affiliate with that ever present aggre- gation of grafters that is to be found in every session of the legislature. He will be f und working ably, per- sistently ana consistently for the interests of the fifty-second district. This is the opinion entertained of Frank F. Seaman by the editor of the Herald-Review after an intimate acquaintance with him extending eyer a period of ten years or more— and itis the opinion entertained of him by every citizen of Itasca county who enjoys his acquaintance. Such aman is worthy the confidence and support of bis party. It may be of- fered in reply to the Herald-Review’s expressions of preference for Mr. Seaman that this is a Democratic paper, and it is its aim to create dis- sension in the ranks of its political opponent... But with a moment's re- flection the thoughfull, honest persun will not come to this conclusion nor make this charge, There are no Pernveratic candidates for the legisla- The first;condition | ture from this district in the field, hence, no-matter what the result, nu benefit could pussiby inure to the ad- vancement of Democratic interests. The editor of this paper simply ex- presses his individual conclusions upon a subject in which every citizen, without regard te party afiiiliations, should feel a deep and = earnest interest. pasties AE re lceey REPUBLICAN ENDORSEMENT. The Hibbing Ore, a Republican paper published at the home of Martin Hughes, Democratic candi- date for congress from this district, makes the foliowing editorial com- ment: ‘‘Mr. Martin Hughes, of Hib- bing, will be the Democratic candi- date for congressman from the Eighth congressional district and hs already inaugurated anactive campaign. Mr. Hughes did not seek the honor, but prefsure was brought to bear upon bim by the leading Democrats of the state and he. very much against his will, consented to make the race, The district is -overwhelmingiy Re- publican and Congressman Bede has a hold upon the people that it would seem cannot be broken, yet in the face of ali that Mr. Hughes will enter the campaign with a determination to win, and if he fails it will not be for the lack of hard, honest and in- defatigable effort on his part Mr. Hughes 1s 6ne of the leading at- torneys of the county; a forciful, logical and pleasing speaker; he is bright and has a native wit that fully equals that of his able opponent. He isa most genial gentleman in every way, polished, scholarly and able. and ifsuch a thing should come to pass that he succeeds in election the Eighth district will jhave a representative in congress that every man, no matter what may be his politicai belief, will be proud of. It is an honor in having a congressional candidate that Hib- bing fully appreciates and the voters, irrespective of party, will vie one with the other in doing honor to a most respected citizen—not alone because he is a. candidate for a high office, but for the reason that the man is wreater and better than any political office.” — + —__ IT LOOKS LIKE COLE. Those who have watched the pro- gress of events in the preliminary skirmish for the legislative nomiua- tions in this district are quite unavi- mous in the opinion that Representa- tive A.L. Cole of Cass county will tind little opposition at the primaries, and the fight will be between Seaman King and Swanson, with the chances favorable to Seaman. This is the sithation as it stands today. Of course, conditions and sentiment may change between now and the 20th inst., but wise politicians of the district have the result sized up with Cole a sure winner from the start. A few weeks ago when the {charge was made that Representative Cule’s ac- tual residenve was in Benton county there appeared a strong sentiment to oppose vim, but subseqhent investi- gation proved this claim to be with- outany foundation in fact. Aside from this. no valid reason could be advanced({for refusing Mr. Cole a second term. For a new member he made an excellent record in the last legislature and the records show that his vote was invariably cast in behalf of wholesome and beneficial measures. He took a prominent part in import ant legislavion throughout the session and was acknowledged by his, col- Jeagues as being one of the really able members of the house. In the com- ing session hisservices would necessar- ily be more valuable to the district than in the first because of the experi- ence that he has already had. Since circumstances compel us to subinit to Republican legislators there will be some satisfaction in knowing that the dcminant party will exercise good judgment in selecting their ablest men to represent the district in St. Paul next winter. It the expressions of prominent Republicans can be relied upon Cole will have easy sailing. ge Durine his first session in the the state senate, ex-Senatur C, C. McCarthy demonstrated his moral courage and absolute incorruptibility. He had beea a worker among workers in the woods. His sympathies were with the laborer, When opportunity came, through his election to the senate, one of the first measures he introduced was a bill to compel the employing lumbermen to pay Uheir men in cash. The opposition to this measure constituted one of the most powerful lobbies that ever infested the state house at St. Paul. If money could defeat the McCarthy bill it would be defeated. Every means known to shrewd and unscrupu- lous politicians was openly and secretly employed to defeat the bill. But the men who had Jong shaped legistation when it related to their interests had at last met a master. He set his face like flint against the cohorts of the pine land ring and pleaded for the men who made the logs. How successful he was is print- ed in the laws of the state of Minne- rota today. Almost alone at the start, he won the good tight, nor did he play to the grand stand in doing 1t. Every laboring man in Itdsca county should rejoice at the opportunity now offered them to show their appreciation of their true and tried friend.
