To the Voters of the 45th Legislative District I have filed for the nomination for one of the representatives from this legislative district on the lepublican ticket and I respectfully solicit your support at the ensuing primary election WYMAN Anoka, Minnesota. August 31, 1910 The Senatorial Situation In the 45th District as I Is. There are no party issues involved in the senatorial contest in this district, at least not between Senator Swanson and the undersigned, both being of the same party.

Neither one has come out on a single issue platform. The senator announces that his stand in the future will be as in the past and the newspapers of the district assert that Senator Swanson's record is blameless and satisfactory. As competitor for nomination the undersigned refers to said record and bases thereon unmistakable charges of official shortcomings, which are dissatisfactory to large numbers of Mr. Swanson's constituents: Slackness in official duties a leaning to the interests, including the liquor interests, and lack of candor or courage in regard to measures pending. If these charges are untrue the people of the district are entitled to know it, and they are entitled to tangible evidence on that question.

If they are true the dividing line between the supporters and opponents of Mr. Swanson will and must be drawn on the question of county option. The opponents to that proposition will and must support Mr. Swanson regardless of his record on other matters, because he represents their principles in regard to the liquor traffic. And all the alleged complications and contingencies by reason of aspirants for both the house and senate from the same county, are mere subterfuges and efforts to confuse.

The merits of senatorial candidates do not depend upon the personal interest in candidates of the house therefore let every believer in, and advocate of county option align himself in support of all the legislative candidates in the district who are endorsed by the county option committees from the several counties, and by such unanimous action only can a true showing be made of the county option sentiment in the 45th senatorial dis tricL The considerate voter should bear in mind that the success or defeat of this or that candidate is un important but the question is very important whether or not he will lend his vote and influence for the ontinu ation and extension of money influ ence in elections. This is no insinua tion of corruption because it is a well known fact that the legitimate use of money cuts a big figure in politics, and it requires but little more encouragement on that line to give complete dominion into the hands of the monied interests Sincerely yours, Daniel Anderson. Cambridge, Sept. 12, 1910. What Adams Thinks of Wyman and Davis.

Hon. E. E. Adams of Fergus Falls, who has served three successive terms in the legislature, has this to say of Messrs. Davis and Wyman: The county optionists in the 45th senatorial district composed of Anoka, Mille Lacs, Isanti and Sherburne counties, have endorsed Robert C.

Dunn of Princeton, Andrew Davis of Elk River and Geo. H. Wyman of Anoka as the county option candidates for the house. In this sena tonal district all are elected at large and each man has to run in the four counties. This gives the county optionists a very strong team.

Bob Dunn is known to everybody and he goes to the legislature to lead the fight for good roads. Hon. Andrew Davis of Elk River has served two terms and was one of the cleanest and most efficient men in the xast house He is one of the few men whose failure to come back would be a serious loss to the state. He not only stood for the good measures but he was one of the most efficient men and in fact one of the few men who had a proper grasp of the states finances. His training as a business man and his methodical habits make him a very useful member.

He never had anysiderable "clients" to serve and therefore had no other interests but those of the state to protect. Hon. George H. Wyman, the third man on the ticket, served in the 1905 session and is an experienced and useful member. If the 45th senatorial district sends this trio to the house it will have the strongest representation of any dis trict in the state.Fergus Falls Journal.

L. S. Briggs, P. M. Strong Endorsement of Senator Swanson.

At the primary election next Tuesday it will be the duty as well as the privilege of every man to turn out and help select good men to look after their common interests as public officers, and in this connection we wish to call our readers' attention to some of the important work done by Senator Swanson. We are surprised to see that his opponent has resorted to such tactics as circulating garbled statements with the intention of misleading voters by juggling with the truth and making distorted quotations. No man in the senate was more attentive to his duties than Mr. Swanson, hardly missing a day in the two sessions no man was more active for the passing of the most important bills ever enacted into law in the history of the state. For instance, the two-cent fare bill and the anti-pass bill which gives to the working man and the farmer the right to ride on the railroads on the same terms as the rich city man, instead of them paying three cents a mile and the rich riding free, as it was before these bills became law.

Also the bill that brought nearly $5,000 to each county for roads and bridges, and the bill for crushed rock, free, from St. Cloud reformatory for country roads, with his effort for free transportation of the same by the railroads. The bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes throughout the state, the bill limiting the number of saloons in a community. Every one will remember his great fight for the protection of the farmers against the wanton slaughter of their dairy cattle. If he had done nothing more, this would be reason enough why every farmer should rally to his support.

Mr. Swanson not only was active in passing good laws but also in protecting the taxpayers by preventing bad bills from becoming law. And we call to mind one great scheme to build four boulevards, all running out from St. Paul and Minneapolis, north, south, east and west to the end of the state to cost millions of dollars tor the benefit of the rich automobile owners of the big cities and the sports also the scheme to park and boulevard the city of St. Paul at the cost of millions of dollars to the tax payers the million dollar state fair graft bill, which only lacked his vote to become a law and the bill to spend thirty thousand dollars for repairs on the old capitol when only one thousand was needed.

That Mr. Swanson is awake to the interests of the farmers and dairy men is shown by his securing two appointments out of five members on the state live stock board, one farmer from Anoka county and another armer from Mille Lacs county of this very little has been said, for Mr Swanson is not given to boasting of his own work, and now he modestly leaves his case for the voters to judge, and we have no doubt that when the verdict is rendered next Tuesday it will be found that the people of this district will show their appreciation by giving Mr. Swanson the overwhelming majority he so well deserves.Anoka Herald. Hon Frank White. The candidacy of Hon.

Frank White of Elk River for the republican nomination as member of the legis lature, is attracting wide attention and people outside the district are looking to the republicans of that district to see that he is nominated and elected. Mr. White as member of the legislature would be one of the real leaders, as he has been twice a mem ber of that body and is a man of marked ability, and would have a great influence in state legislation. He made a good record, and would be a useful man not only to his district but to the whole northern part of the state. He made a hard fight for reapportionment last session, and was one of the first to recognize the injustice to northern Minnesota.

He was also an advocate of good roads, and with White and Hon. R. c. Dunn both in the house and both working for a better system of public highways, they will get what the people want, a special mill tax, so that the big cities shall pay their share for the building and maintenance of good roads instead of placing that burden entirely on the shoulders of the farmers. Mr.

White has already accomplished much in that direction for his county and his district, and the excellent condition of the state road from St. Cloud to Elk River is due in a conmeasure to the interest taken by Mr. White in securing liberal aid for this work. Mr. White is largely interested in farming lands and his district is a farming district, and his interests are identical with those of his constituents.

It would seem to be the part of wisdom to send him back to the legislature, where he did so good work in two sessions.St. Cloud JournalPress. Bring In Your Potatoes. My warehouse is now open for the purchase of potatoes. Highhest market prices and correct weight.

35-tfc w. H. Miller. sw1 LIKE FATHER LIKE SOJAR AS Recent Republican Primary Nominates Filius Hiram W. Johnson For Governor and Defeats Pater Grove For Legislature.

By J. A EDGERTON. insurgent has di vided at one family. In Grove L. who has been in congress and the legislature for eighteen or twenty years, is known as a standpatter of standpatters, yet this year he was defeated in the Republican primaries for renomination to the legislature.

In the same election Hiram W. Johnson, his son, running as an insurgent, carried the Republican primaries for governor by a plurality so large the election boards are hardly through counting it yet Insurgency has been known to divide fathers-in-law and sons-in-law, but this is the first conspicuous instance in which it has estranged father and son. In Massachusetts no one would accuse Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Insurgency. They would as soon charge political heterodoxy against Eugene Hale or Nelson W. Aldrich.

Yet the husband of Lodge's daughter, the Hon Gussie Gardner, is one of the representatives that have been making life uneasy for Uncle Joe. Anent the Hon. Nicholas Longworth, another representative who married the daughter of a great man. Theodore Roosevelt once remarked to Gardner, "Your father-in-law and my son-inlaw do not approve of our radicalism." Pinchot Claims Victory. Roosevelt refused to mix in Johnson's fight for governor of California, but sent Gilford Pinchot, who Joyously made insurgent speeches all over the state and seemingly regards the victory as a personal triumph.

Well, it was a big enough victory to be divided up and still leave "glory enough for all." So if Pinchot wants a slice of it Johnson probably has no objections. Rudolph Spreckels, Francis J. Heney and the Lincoln-Roosevelt league also claim some small share of the credit, since they first selected Johnson for the graft prosecutions and afterward made him the candidate. Pretty much everybody is happy over the result, so far as I can judge, except Grove L. Johnson, the Southern Pacific railroad and some of the people who wanted Heney removed from office because he ate with his knife.

It must be admitted that "sword swallowing" is a heinous offense, but the penalty should fit the crime Firing a man out of a good paying office is going too far. That should be classed under the head of cruel and unusual punishment. The worst that can be hoped for a man who eats with his knife is that he should cut his mouth or swallow the knife by mistake. As a matter of fact, those San Francisco people did not care a hang whether Heney ate with his knife or with his fingers. What they really objected to was that he prosecuted the grafters And right there is where Hiram Johnson came into the game.

Johnson an Orator. Johnson bad been practicing law in San Francisco and had arrived at the point where he was called a "leading lawyer" He was effective before a jury, especially the line of pathos. When it came to getting the jury all worked up Hiram Johnson was there with the oratory. As for politics, he voted any way he pleased His enemies said he registered at the primaries as a Republican, but usually voted the Democratic ticket. Anyway, he was independent and did not try to conceal it.

Likewise he was against his father in politics and did not try to conceal that either Then he was made deputy district attorney to help in the prosecution of Schmitz and Ruef, and it was the reputation there made that suggested him as the proper insurgent leader Again his foes saywhat will foes not say in he defended Dalzell Brown, the bank wrecker, at about the same time that he was prosecuting graft. They also aver that he never really broke with his father at alL It might be difficult to convince Grove L. Johnson of that Where he is known the elder Johnson is called "foxy old Grove." In the legislature he has generally been regarded as a friend of the Southern Pacific. When he was in congresshe served but one termhis most con spicuous act was an attack on W. Hearst The editor came back with a two or three page broadside in which he charged that Grove had once been indicted for forgery in New York state.

That would have floored the average statesman, but it never feazed Johnson Beaten For Renomination. He arose to a question of personal privilege, admitted the charge, said he had never tried to conceal it, but had told bis constituents all about the epi ode and actually compelled applause by recounting how be had lived down his early indiscretion. Not only so, but he went back to Sacramento and made a fight for a renomination His son, Hiram, the identical Hiram now running for governor, was his cam paign manager. But they were beaten. It is said that the son's opposition to the Southern Pacific began from that very day.
