<br />IRVING TODD & SON.
<br />SATURDAY JANUARY 11, 1908.
<br />An interesting fight between T. H.
<br />Shevlin and Thomas Lowry as dele-
<br />gate at large from Minneapolis to
<br />the republican national convention is
<br />expected, and another in, St. Paul,
<br />F. B. Kellogg against the field.
<br />There is an effectual way of settling
<br />the controversey in the twin cities by
<br />naming the four from the country,
<br />ensuring a representative delegation
<br />without regard to mere personal
<br />interests. •
<br />An address signed by T. F. Hud-
<br />son, national committeeman, and a
<br />hundred prominent democrats has
<br />been made public. The nomination
<br />of W. J. Bryant is advocated as the
<br />candidate for president in unmistaka-
<br />ble terms, and if Gov. J. A. Johnson
<br />wants the Minnesota delegation he
<br />will have to fight for it. Among the
<br />signers is Dr. W. W. _Mayo, who first
<br />smoked the genial governor out.
<br />The Shagawa Iron Company has
<br />discontinued work upon Section 30,
<br />near Ely, after sinking $140,080 in
<br />the seven hundred foot shaft. It is
<br />estimated that $800,000 in litigation
<br />and $434,000 in unsuccessful pros-
<br />pecting have been expended during
<br />the past twenty five years. Seven
<br />different attempts have been made to
<br />develope the mine.
<br />The ruling of the postotlice de-
<br />partment that no one is a legitimate
<br />subscriber to a newspaper unless he
<br />has paid for the same in advance will
<br />undoubtedly create a great shrinkage
<br />in the amount of second class matter,
<br />but t he charges for transportation will
<br />not be reduced until another weigh-
<br />ing of the mails, not due in over
<br />three years.
<br />Minnesota Journalisul.

<br />templated.
<br />Evervthiug seems to be running
<br />into politics this year. Even the
<br />new president of the state educational
<br />association is C. G. Schulz, of St.

<br />struction under the presi'nt adminis-

<br />William Leary anti C. W. Marks,
<br />of Walcott, four miles from Fari•

<br />Lake Superior, and of slight com-
<br />mercial value,

<br />Owatonna since 1864 arid a promi-
<br />nent odd fellow, died on Wednesday

<br />filled by the appointment of FI. E.
<br />Johnson.
<br />Mary A. Rosen, witness in a recent
<br />murder case at Grand Rapids, plead

<br />Johnson the Mediator.
<br />Gov. J. A. Johuson, of Minnesota,
<br />has qualified for an invitation to the
<br />s l Prodigal Sou dinners to be given this
<br />winter in this city by the National
<br />Democratic Club. Like the inoor-
<br />rigible optimists of the club, and like
<br />our undiseouraged neighbor, The
<br />New York World, he believes that the
<br />democratic party could recover its
<br />grip and restore some silmbiance of
<br />agreement among its m berg as to
<br />what it stands tor it only it could
<br />select a presidential candidate accept-
<br />able to everybody and draft a.plat-
<br />form brief enough or cryptical enough
<br />to leave no room for embarrassing
<br />disagreements among the fifty-seven
<br />odd varieties of loyal Jeffersonists.
<br />Col. Wattersou, always prolific and
<br />eipeditioos as a propbet, foresaw last
<br />summer that v. Johnson wan the
<br />best man to belp the party out of its
<br />present predicament, because his
<br />exact statue, as a Jeffersooian was
<br />practically unknown, and each faction
<br />could therefore take him on faith as
<br />confidently as any other. The colo-
<br />nel's idea was to go back to an ante -
<br />helium precedent set by the wbig
<br />party and 4o do without a national
<br />platform, so that all Kilkenny ten-
<br />dencies might flit suppressed until
<br />after the election. The less we know
<br />or suspect the:hetter off we shall be,
<br />was Mr. Wattersen's diagnosis of the
<br />democratic situation.
<br />The democratic masses did not
<br />take kindly to such a repressive and
<br />monastic policy. The beet thing
<br />about tbe democratic party is its
<br />lungs, and it has grown so item's -
<br />towed to talking first and thinking
<br />afterwards that the silence cure pre-
<br />scribed was about as welcome to it as
<br />a sentence of twenty years at solitary
<br />confinement would bo to an east side
<br />e arttail orator or anti -rent agitator.
<br />The democratic voters continued to
<br />show a perverse preference for volu-
<br />bility and political improvisation, and
<br />Col. Watterson sadly called in bis
<br />whig parallel and signified his sub-
<br />misaiou to the modern demand for
<br />the production of enough new Edeas
<br />to keep each t tion of Jeffersonlans
<br />busy defendin its own prepossessions
<br />and picking holes in the prepossess-
<br />ions of all other factions.
<br />Col. Wattereon has dropped Gov.
<br />Johnsou for Mr. Bryan. But The
<br />World has taten the governor up
<br />again and ie trying to make him
<br />available on a platform not of saying
<br />nothing at all but- of saying some-
<br />thing which eau be interpreted in
<br />fifty seven way 'by fifty -save difar-
<br />eat sets of Jeffersouian thinkers. We
<br />learn from an iutetview provided by
<br />the governor Of Minnesota that he
<br />favors '-tariff revision." That is a
<br />good start, for every national plat-
<br />form framed this year -republican,
<br />democratic, populist, prohibition, and
<br />socialist -will probably call for a re-
<br />vision of the Dingley schedules. Mr.
<br />Johnson tells us also that he believes
<br />in a proper recognition of the rights
<br />of the states as well as those of the
<br />federal government. He stands for
<br />the equal administration of the laws,
<br />justice to all classes -the rich, the
<br />poor, and the moderately well -to -do -
<br />regulation of corporations, but not
<br />oppressive regulation; taxation of
<br />incomes and inheritances, but not
<br />confiscatory taxation; a navy not too
<br />big, but just big enough; the ulti-
<br />mate acquisition of Canada and
<br />Mexico, but acquisition only through
<br />voluntary amalgamation. Gov.
<br />Johnson does not want to earn the
<br />title "Too Much Jobnsoo." He alms
<br />at being not too radical but just radi-
<br />cal enough, not too couservative but
<br />just conservative enough. He is the
<br />ideal radical -conservative and con-
<br />servative -radical. Can he box the
<br />compass, however, and hold a balance
<br />between factions is far apart in ideas
<br />as the poles? Can he be soother
<br />Parker to the east, another Bryan to
<br />the west? If he can, be is the Mao
<br />of the Hour for the National Demo-
<br />cratic Club's missionary dinners.
<br />Gov. Johnson says that the democrat
<br />is party needs "a platform made out
<br />of principles broad and sound, which
<br />will express the sentiments, the feel-
<br />ings, of the great body of our intelli-
<br />gent citizens." But the democratic.
<br />party has not succeeded in a genera-
<br />tion in framing . a platform whirl
<br />fully expressed the sentiments of its
<br />own leaders and members. How can
<br />it expect to guide others when it has
<br />consistently failed to guide or rale
<br />itself? -Neto Pork Tribune, 44.
