2 i I i\ ?3^C NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE Things Political Throughout the State Very Quiet. PUBLIC IS NOT INTERESTED Candidates Unable to Impress 4. 4. Public interestat any rate surface interesta disinclination to be dis turbed and the absolute failure of any state candidate to impress is the one feature that has characterized the campaign so far and it threatens to xtend through to the close. It solow Impresses one who is really interest ed that the babblings of the old timer who talks about how things "uster was" brings back memories of other days and makes one wonder what has brought about the change Of course the new primary law is in a measure responsible It is the indifference of the voter, though, that astonishes. All around it is hardly likely that the ex penses of the two big state head quarters will run over four figures this time The smallness of expendi tures is accounted for by the short ness of the election campaign, which is less than five weeks What the candidates spent in the primary cam paign, however, is another question. The dozen or more nimble fingered stenographers which characterized previous state headquarters is a miss ing quantity this year. The reason is the lack of time in which to get out the customary printed matter and have it reach the voter Instead it will be a speaking campaign pure and simple and both sides will turn loose the oratory in a few days That the speakers will get the crowds, however, is a question, for as I told you the voters refuse to be interested. All of which goes to prove that the fellow who "uster was" is right. Things po litical have certainly changed. j. 4. .j. ^Minnesota is supposed to have the most drastic corrupt practices act of any state in the Union, but it comes near being a joke since a judge in Hennepin county passed on some of Its provisions His findings were to the effect that if a friend sawfitto put a few dollars into your campaign and it was done without your knowl edge the excess could not be charged up against you. The little joker is section 34 and the state legal depart ment practically admits that if its aid Is invoked there is no possible chance of a conviction The court is the sole Judge as to whether a violation was committed or not and in effect the section puts a price on ignorance. th-eH the Voters as They Did in the Olden Days. (Special Correspondence.) St. Paul, Oct. 14.The man ays that things are "not like they lister was" is right. We possibly as sociate him with the spavined indi vidual who knows of winters that were much colder than the present one and a fast decreasing few who nee upon a time could have bought ,the ground on which the Capital City is built for a song, but Just the same is telling you what is true. Things political in Minnesota are sure "not what they uster be." Republicans and Democrats opened state headquarters in St. Paul the early part of last week, *ut the event was not marked by any unusual display on the part of those oncerned or by any particular men tion by the papers. E E. Smith, state chairman, and E. B. Hawkins slipped quietly into the rooms assigned them in the Republican headquarters and Martin O'Brien of Crookston and Frank Day of Fairmont took desks of qual importance in the cramped quarters designated as the brief home of the state Democratic central com mittee The two suites of five rooms each might have been the quarters of some sedate corporation for all the outside world knew There was no bustle or handshaking. Gone was the little circle, a feature of anterooms of the past, likewise the cheery voice of the precinct boy from up state. There was no permanency anywhere. One momentarily expected to see the in stallment house man enter the door and walk off with the few desks and chairs scattered about the two suites. Possibly the feeling was largely imag inative, but it did not seem as if those In charge were as warm in their greeting as those in the days of old There is something lacking and such has been the case ever since the cam paign started. The Fourth district is just now the warmest congressional battleground In the state. Fred Stevens, the pres ent incumbent, is the Republican nom inee and James Regan, a big, hand some looking Irishman, represents the unwashed Congressman Stevens should have a walkaway and theopinion chances are that he will get by, but he is hampered by the independent candidacy of H. T. Halbert, who filed by petition As the wise ones view it JTalbert's chances are small, but if he polls 1,500 or more votes and Began gets the full Democratic strength, which is doubtful, Stevens tion of Regan if such does happen Looking at things from a district standpoint Mr. Stevens comes pretty ,.$ "L (r will suffer. It simply means the elec- receive the required number of votes under the new law. He received 600 votes and should have had 661. THE COUNTY CHAIRMAN. ""A tn 0 P. M. Ringdal, the Democratic guber- !w *atorial nominee, formally opened his Si* campaign last week with a keynote speech at Zumbrota,^ copies of which are now being distributed among the r^r? /a 6 wholosing close of fourteen speeches delivered on the day previous, was just as en thusiastically greeted. The weather conditions there, however, more ideal. 4 4* Secretary of State Schmahl has com pleted the ballot that will be voted next month and as far as the position of the presidential electors are con cerned It is hardly to the liking of the Bull Moosers. Their electors are the last of a list of five ands far down the ballot that the position cannot but be harmful. The state ballot this time is nearly four feet long and about as cumbersome a piece of paper as was ever turned out. 4* 4* 4* Hugh T. Halbert, the head of theSaid third party movement, and his back ers are now directing all their energies toward the getting of Secretary of State Schmahl's scalp. One St. Paul daily has been devoting its space daily to showing up his alleged shortcom ings and the Bull Moose crowd, it is said, will shortly supplement it with an appeal to the voters for the third party candidate. They may reduce Schmahl's usual lead, but it's a ten to one shot that they will not get his of ficial head Down here Schmahl is looked upon as one of the best sure things. 4* 4* The Progressives will not use a spe cial train to exploit the merits of P. V. Collins and the other third party can didates They will use automobiles instead and, according to the plan as outlined, these automobiles will fol in the wake of the big Eberhart special train, which is to be a feature of the Republican state campaign. The stunt is going to cost some money, but Mr. Halbert and his followers do not seem to lack in that respect. Their campaign is said to be the best in the way of finances of any in the state 4* James Manahan, the Republican nominee for congressman at large, it is reported has been taken into the or ganization camp and from now on will aid the leaders in landing the full ticket. His picture is to appear in the Republican campaign text book and bis candidacy is to receive the full backing of the organization. Jim was a Democrat and in the days of hisand fight for recognition he lambasted the other side pretty freely. In his fiery way he assailed the Grand Old Party from all sides. How he is going to reconcile his past with his new con fession of faith is beyond the best of the wise ones, but, as they say, most anything is possible in politics these days. 4* 4* 4* If apathy Is disinterestedness then Minnesota politically is a dead one these days. Campaigners say they never saw such a condition. Martin O'Brien, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, does not ex pect to see an awakening until the last week of the campaign. E. E Smith of the Republican committee says things are the same in the Re publican camp The two leaders are going to reserve their forces for the last week and a half. 4* 4* 4* The erection of a statue of the late Governor John A. Johnson on the state capitol grounds is expected to lead to an agitation for the honoring of others prominent in the history of the state. The next legislature will be asked for an appropriation for a memorial to Governor Ramsey and possibly one to Senator Davis. The absence of some recognition the services of Governor Ramsey in the form of a statue or picture has been commented upon ever since the new building was opened. 4 There is now no further question regarding the constitutionality of the statewide primary law. In a special handed down Saturday deny ing W. Brandborg of Henning, the Socialist Labor candidate for gov ernor, a place on the state ballot the supreme court says the law is right that the title is sufficient and that the law is a complete repeal of all laws providing for the nomination of cssjidi dates by convention.
