this end, we solicit your co-operation
and will heartily welcome and con-
aider any suggestions you may offer.
Let Us Try to Win.
Id view of the foregoing, is it not
the duty of every loyal Democrat de
siring his party’s success, if it can be
had without the sacrifice of principle,
to take judicious aad comprehensive
thought of the situation aad exert
himself to see that the delegatee to
the national convention at Denver,
July 7, shall go there unfettered by the
dead head of the past and prepared to
consider calmly the political outlook
and the chances of Democratic sue-
cess, and thee with cool aad careful
judgment select a nominee who can
win? *%
This is a Democratic year, if the
Democrats of the nation will but make
„it-so. SE

and the beginning of the restoration
of Democratic coatrol for another four

‘ Did Away with Passes. „
. In one of his messages, Gov. Joba-
son eaid: “If the public officers are
not adequately compensated now for
their services. Ax the compensation to
such an extent aa to make it reasop-
ablo-compensation and do away with
the possibility of any officer becoming
a bonefelary of the favor of corpora,
tions, and by reason of gratuities be
lag placed under some obligation to
the corporation which extends the
courtesy.. . . And urge most
earnestly the early enactment of a law
which will forever abolish the system
in Minnesota.". And it was done.
MAN THE NATION REQUIRES.
John A. Johnson the Ideal Occupant
of the Presidential Chair.
As president, Gov Johnson would
have the qualities that might described
as logically and historically needful
I at this time, representing both in
i thought and by concrete, achievement
| all of the progressive reforms to which
' the American people are now thorough-
ly committed. His personality and
his methods are such that, coming Into
office after the strenuous and even
terrifying political and financial ex-
periences of recent years, he would be
prepared to hold all that has been
gained, restore an era of good feeling
, and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
| legislation as the times require. In a
word, Gov. Johnson is precisely the
kind of a leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
, meet new needs, but careful and con-
| servative in his methods. The same
confidence inspiring, vote-getting at-
I tributes that have made Gov. John-
son so popular in Minnesota that there
Is absolutely no question that he
1 could carry the state as the Demo
I cratic presidential nominee will make
1 him equally popular with the voters
of the nation, once they have an op-
portunity to become acquainted with
I the man, .
Every political campaign has its In-
dividual conditions. It Is found In this
contest that Gov Joi.nson possesses
1 a strength peculiar to him alone and
T by which he Is certain to bring to the
: | Democratic party upwards of a million
j votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi-
| tion insures beyond a reasonable
' doubt victory for’ Democracy and Gov.
I Johnson in the following states: Min-
J nesota, North and South Dakota, IIII-
i nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne-
I braska, Colorado, Montana, Washing-
1 ton and Michigan.
PLATFORM BROAD AND STRONG.
Declarations of Gov. Johnson All Dem-
oorate will indorse.
“The Man from Minnesota" ba
lieves In the “immediate revision of
the tariff, to the end that articles now
controlled in America by Illegal and
Immoral combinations may be deprived
of their tariff power to rob the com-
munity" He believes that tariff re-
vision is one of the most important
works for the correction of the abuses
that are plaguing the country.
He believes that the maintenance of
government by the people involves the
least interference by federal power
with the domestic affairs of the states
consistent with efficient national ad-
ministration.
He believes in the constitution. "For
a president," he says, "to go outside
the constitution, even to accomplish a
beneficent purpose, is to enter the
road that leads to the destruction of
republics."
He is opposed to the government
ownership of railways, by state or na-
tion, but, as his acts show, Is a strong
believer in just and rigorous regula-
tion.. --
He Is opposed to over-sea expansion.
He favors “the peaceful consolida-
tion of the continent from Panama to
the Arctic circle."

"You can't kill combinations,” he
says. . . • "but when they come in
to crush the business of individuals
they must be opposed as evils.”
He believes In an income tax.
He believes in the just and equal
enforcement of law, and that the ob-

the poor and weak.
LEADER IN INSURANCE REFORM.
Whole Country Benefited by Action
of Gov. Johnson.
Having had some valuable experi-
ence in re-organizing a powerful Minne
sota insurance company, Gov John-'
son was well prepared to deal with
the emergency which arose when the
corruption and extravagance of the
management of the great national life
insurance companies was revealed in
1905 In November of that year, he
wrote a letter to President Roosevelt,
which placed him in the front rank of
national leaders. In this letter the
governor suggested a conference of
governors and attorney generals to be
called by the president at Chicago.
The conference was held in the follow-
ing February and Gov. Johnson, as its
chairman and dominant figure, named
the famous "committee of fifteen,”
whose recommendations were em-
bodied in the law in Minnesota and
in about A dozen other states.
While the - momentous decision re-
cently given by the supreme court in
similar cases coming up from North
Carolina and Minnesota may have the
effect of invalidating some of the rani-
way legislation secured by Gov. John-
sin in Minnesota, the fact remains that
he has done what he set out to do and
secured the enactment of popular and
beneficent legislation. If, as now
seems probable, the epoch-making de-
cision of the court in large measure
transfers railway legislation from the
states to the national legislature, it be-
comes, of particular significance' that
one of the earliest acts of Gov. John
son’s career aa a member at the Min-
nesota legislature was the introduo
tion of a memorial to congress to ex
tend the powers of the interstate com-
merce commission, a memorial which
ante dated the extension of those pow.
ers by some four years. \ . 7
Reynard the Fox.
Renard, or, ne it la more usually
written, Keynard, is the name given
to the fox in a famous German epie 1
of the fourteenth century called "Rey- •
nard the Fox." The book ia really a
satire on the state of Germany in the
middle ages, the different animals, each '
of which are given a special name, :
typifying different institutions. Thus *
Reynard the Fox stands for the church, :
Isengrim the Wolf for the barons and :
Nodel the Lion for the emperor. Oth. :
er characters are Tibert the Cat and -
Bruin the Bear. Both in the last nam- #
rd case and that of Reynard the per- *
sonal name given by the author baa :
