6 v IN THE FIELD OF POLITICS f. G. WINSTON PREDICTS 30,0011 PLURALITY FOR JOHN A. JOHNSON BBBSr.xufefe. ■■flflfev" SI gjggy Ifsw'v SB FENDALL G. WINSTON Democratic Candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Who Says Election of John A. Johnson Is Assured. "I firmly believe that John A. John son will be elected governor of Minne sota Nov. 8 by 30,000 plurality, and that the chances for electing the re mainder of the ticket are excellent," said F. G. Winston, Democratic candi date for lieutenant governor, on his ar rival in St. Paul yesterday from a tour of the southern part of the state with Mr. Johnson. "The developments of the past week in the Southern Minnesota towns, where Mr. Johnson and I have spoken, are such that there is a regular land- Elide to the Democratic candidate for governor," Mr. Winston said. "In cities where the normal Democratic vote is only a tithe of the total vote the en tire population has turned out to wel come Mr. Johnson and his associates on the ticket, and there were demon strations of approval seldom, if ever, seen in those towns. Mr. Johnson Is a most effective campaigner, and his an diences have been delighted with his speeches and his personality. He has certainly made good, in the parlance of the street, and the time seems ripe for an uprising such as has never been seen in Minnesota politics. "Nothing can prevent Johnson's elec tion, and his majority is going to be so decisive that I look to see the rest of the state ticket carried into office with him. Certainly we will elect our judi ciary nominees. While I realize that the full force of the opposition will be turned into the country in an effort to overcome the commanding lead already taken by Mr. Johnson, it will not suc ceed. . Nelson and Clapp Speak in Vain "The United States senators are ex pected to stem the tide, but they can not do it. With the highest respect for the two senators, the people know, down deep in their hearts, that only party expediency is behind the senators in their speeches in defense of R. C. Dunn, and they will not believe them. If Mr. Dunn was himself a magnetic, winning speaker on the stump there might be some chance for him, but he only suffers .in comparison with the Democratic nominee, and if the Repub lican managers are wise they will keep him off the stump. Anyhow, the thing has gone too far. It Is a revolution and Mr. Johnson's < lotion Is assured. I look to see him grow stronger with each day." • Because of the heavy rain that tell during the greater part of yesterday, plans for an open air meeting for Hast ings yesterday afternoon were aban doned and John A. Johnson and Mr. Winston, who had spoken Thursday nigrht at Winona, came direct to St. Pajil yesterday. Mr. Johnson went on an afternoon train to Lake City, where he spoke last night, and will come to St. Paul this morning to spend the day in the city. He will be at the state headquarters during a part of the day, but has business engagements for the greater part of his time while in St. Paul. Johnson Was Surprised 'I cannot but express my apprecia tion of the royal welcome that has been extended to Mr. Winston and myself through Southern Minnesota," Mr. Johnson said yesterday. "We have feeen for the most part in strongly Repub lican counties, but we have yet to ex perience anything but an enthusiastic reception. The audiences have been large, the interest keen and the sup port tendered our ticket has been LANGUM AFTER JOB Secretary Sam Wants Place on Board of Control Sam Langum, for many years secre tary of the senate and publisher of a newspaper at Preston, Fillmore coun ty, is said to be slated for a position on the board of control in the event of R. C. Dunn's election. Langum has been a supporter of Dunn from the inception of his cam paign for governor. A cordial enemy of Gov. Van Sant, he found it not diffi cult to oppose Judge Collins. Fillmore county was for Collins, but was divided in the state convention because of the candidacy of A. D. Gray for railroad and warehouse commis sioner. Langum, however, still ex pects Mr. Dunn to keep his promise to make him a member of the state board of control if he has the office to give next year. He is supporting Mr. Dunn in his newspaper and is taking a prominent part in the attempt being made to keep Fillmore county and its Republican majority i n line for the Republican nominee for governor. More Litigation in Sight MILWAUKEE. Wis., Oct. 7.—The "National Republican" (stalwart) state central committee held a meeting this afternoon and ratified the selection of ex-Gov. Edward Scofield to fill the va cancy caused by the withdrawal of Samuel A. Cook from the head of the ticket. The committee also completed plans for carrying on an aggressive campaign. The name "National Re publican," adopted by the stalwarts to be placed at the head of their column on the official ballot, may be the sub ject of litigation in th^courts. The La Follette men are said to regard it as hii infringement of the Dame "Repub lican." Democratic Candidate for Lieu tenant Governor Tells of the Ovations Tendered to the Head of the Ticket in the Southern Minnesota Towns and Says the Enthusiasm In dicates a Landslide In Favor of the St. Peter Man gratuitous and enthusiastic I have ceased being surprised at anything, for the people of Southern Minnesota have given me surprise after surprise." Mr. Johnson is naturally somewhat fatigued, but declared that he is stand ing well the strain incfdent to making speeches as often as three times a day, and to the long journeys either by train or by team. Reports received at his headquarters say that his speeches are increasing in effectiveness and that he has developed into a wonderful campaigner. As new issues arise, either through speeches or the news paper attacks of the opposition, he grasps them readily and discusses them dispassionately but convincingly. F. G. Winston Is Strong The feeling so strongly increasing, that Mr. Johnson's election is practical ly assured, is proving an inspiration to the others on the state ticket with him. F. G. Winston, candidate for lieutenant governor, who has been campaigning with Mr. Johnson since the speaking began, has made thousands of friends throughout the state. He is a clean cut, conservative business man, with a business record which is the pride of his friends and of his party. In Min neapolis he is expected to run ahead of his party by hundreds of votes sim ply because he is best known there. Out through the state he is rapidly ac quiring an acquaintance that will bring him votes, and when the voter stops to make a comparison between him and Ray Jones, his Republican opponent for lieutenant governor, he will not hesitate before voting for Mr. Win ston. » J. T. McDermott, Democratic candi date for attorney general, has made a number of speeches throughout the state and will be on the stump almost cemtinually until the campaign closes. Mr. McDermott is a St. Paul lawyer with a fine reputation, and he is a very convincing public speaker. He has the advantage of being pitted against E. T. Young, of Appleton, a former state senator whose record in the senate is such* as to make him a vulnerable candidate, and Mr. McDer mott's friends have every hope of his success at the polls. Entire Ticket Looks Like Winner John E. King, candidate for secretary of state, is one of the best known newspaper men in the state. He has traveled extensively through the state and has met with much encourage ment. He is editor of a weekly news paper at Red Lake Falls, and several, thousand Republicans who have long known and admired him for his ability will vote for him as a personal com pliment at the election. With the land slide for Johnson that seems inevitable, Mr. King stands an excellent chance of election. Byron J. Mosier, candidate for state treasurer, is one of the most popular citizens of Stillwater, and if the voters of his town, had the settling of the election he would win the office with out a contest. Mr. Mosier has not been making a personal campaign as yet, but he is expected to go out through the state with some of the other candi dates and to make a hard fight for the election, in view o.f the improved con ditions for his party ticket as a whole. H. E. Hoard, of Montevideo, and W. F. Kelso, of Hallock, candidates for railroad and warehouse commissioner, have added strength to the ticket. Mr. Hoard is a newspaper man of long ex perience and sterling integrity. He is strong in Southwestern Minnesota, and will receive the solid support of a large acquaintance through that section. Mr. Kelso is one of the Democratic land marks of the Red river valley. He was a Irled and true Democrat in that section thirty years ago, and while he did not seek the nomination, he is making an active canvass for the place, and with every Indication of success. , Developments of the past week are such- that not only John A. Johnson seems to be practically certain of elec tion, but with him the entire state ticket looks like a winner. MORE FOR JOHNSON Peterson Corrects Glenwood Straw Vote Report C. L. Peterson, of Glen wood, writes to correct an item in The Globe of Oct. 4, relative to a test vote taken in that Republican stronghold on guber natorial preferences. It was said that the Glenwood test stood 142 for Johnson, 68 for Dunn. Mr. Peterson writes that he has seen so many references to this now famous: vote, all more or less erroneous, that he desires to give the exact facts. He says: "The vote was abeoluely secret, printed ballots being used and depos ited in a sealed box, and 200 bona fide voters of the village of Glenwood only being invited to vote. The vote when canvassed stood: 158 for Johnson and 42 for Dunn." Mr. Peterson says that in connection with the straw vote at Glenwood a guessing contest on the result was in augurated. This feature was public and was participated in by 165 of the 200 voters of the village. The average guess was 135 for Johnson and 66 for Dunn. A straw vote taken in the St. Cloud band membership at its meeting Tues day night was even more signiflcart. Of the twenty members present when the vote was taken, the entire twenty were found to be for John A. John son for governor. St. Cloud is' the home of James A. Martin, Mr. Dunn's manager.

PAUL GLOBE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1904 DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CANDIDATES jam ' - H9 i&~- - JiiSsSsBHB - i;^B JOHN A. HOGAN Candidate for Register of Deeds John A. Hogan, Democratic candi date for register of deeds of Ramsey county, won the nomination after a lively contest and has the enthusiastic suppo/t of his party organization for the responsible position. Mr. Hogan, who lives in Rose Town, but a few blocks outside of the city limits at St. Anthony Park, has been a resident of Ramsey county nearly all his life. He has ever since he has voted been aligned with the Democratic party, and for eight years was county superin tendent of schools. He was elected to this post as a Democrat, defeating Harry Blake, a strong Republican op ponent. For five years he was a clerk in the office of the register of deeds under the administration <of James Bell, when that official was in charge of the office. He is thoroughly con versant with the duties and respon sibilities of the office, and as he is a former student of the state university, he is amply equipped from an educa tional standpoint to perform every .function of the office. For some months he has served in a position of trust in the office of P. J. Metzdorf, county treasurer, but resigned to enter on the canvass for the position of register of deeds. Mr. Hogan promises to make a personal canvass of the voters of the county, and his friends are confident that he will win the election as he did the nomination. DEMOCRATS WILL BRING OUT THE VOTE Rousing Meetings Are Held fn Eighth and Ninth Wards At meetings in the Eighth and Ninth wards last night the Democratic county campaign was set in motion and a gen eral agreement entered into whereby the full Democratic vote will be regis tered. With this accomplished it was generally agreed that there is no ques tion of the success of the ticket at the polls. At the Eighth ward meeting John W. Boerner presided, opening the meet ing with a statement to the effect that although the Republicans pretended that they have received great encour agement from the vote polled at the primaries, there is really nothing to fear from the Democratic standpoint. All that is necessary is to get out the Democratic vote. To do this the pre cinct committeemen must be active. Following out this idea, a committee of five was named, with Joseph Ma cauley as chairman, to interview the precinct committeemen now serving and induce them to be active on the two remaining registration days. Mr.- Macauley stated that there are a great number of Democrats who failed to register on primary day because there was an absence of contests for the party nominations, but that he knew that the vote can be brought out with the proper amount of work. Ninth Is Also Busy In the Ninth ward much the same programme was carried out. Stephen MeEllistrom was in the chair and call ed attention to the small number of Democrats who had registered at. the primaries. He was supported in his contention that there should be greater activity by E. L. Murphy, member of the board of public works. Mr. Murphy gave a rattling talk that aroused* the enthusiasm of his neighbors, in which he stated that the organization and every Democrat in the ward believes that the state and county is to be torn from the Republican party and that it behooves every man to remain firm and vote the ticket. Anton Miesen, the Democratic can didate for sheriff, received an ovation. His talk to the voters met with the ap proval of all present. P. J. Metzdorf, Democratic candidate for county treas urer, as an old-time member of the Eighth ward organization, compliment ed the workers upon their progressive spirit at the Eighth ward meeting, and in the Ninth pointed to his adminis tration of the office of treasurer as a reason for his re-election. Dr. A. W. Miller, candidate for coro ner; Fred H. Beck, for county auditor, made effective talks. J. D. Armstrong appeared f<jr Judge Bunn and T. D. O'Brien, the nominees for judges of the district court and asked that they be elected and a non-partisan judiciary made possible in the future. Mr. Arm strong stated that the candidates have joined issues, and ask that all Demo crats cast their ballots for both. F. L. McGhee paid attention to national is sues, spoke of the hopeful features connected with the state election, and stated that all that is necessary to elect the entire county ticket is to see that the Democrats register and vote. He urged that the voters stand by Messrs. O'Brien and Bunn. At the Ninth ward meeting, in addi tion to the candidates who appeared at the Eighth ward meeting, James Handlan, the nominee for the legisla ture, made an effective address. W. J. Troy was elected secretary of the or ganization, displacing F. J. Kennedy, who resigned. F. A. Pike, chairman of the Demo> cratlc executive committee, attended both meetings and encouraged, the ; workers with a narration of the coridi j tif.ns that exist, according to the re !or rts received at headquarters. He / V^ilgK * "£?- Jam \ it ' " ' BcHr: ■■■■ ■ ■■■'■■>■■ -^ 1 " Wr* JBw£shm*J ROBERT N. GRADY Candidate for County Commissioner - Robert N. Grady, one of the Demo cratic candidates for county commis sioner, feels that it anybody on the commissioner ticket "can read his title clear to the office he can. In the field of candidates voted on in the primaries he led his ticket by over 600 votes, and the fact, that the Democratic ticket contained so many good men that the voter had difficulty m making choice of four for whom to vote, coupled with his big vote, shows his popularity. Mr. Grady has lived in St. Paul for the past twenty-niiie years, but has never before been a candidate for of fice. He has always been active in local politics, but if has been to help a friend and nevejj t,o help himself. He was a patrolman'for some years, be ing appointed 'by the late Edmund Rice, then mayor" of St. Paul. For many years he 'has been in business on Robert street, and his open-hand ed charity has b^een. proverbial. Mr. Grady is ja Member of a num ber of fraternal' societies, being espe cially prominent* -ifi the Knights of Pythias. At the recent grand lodge -meeting in Minneapolis he represented his St. Paul lodge as grand lodge rep resentative, and has always been a factor in this organization. He is also prominent in the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Eagles, and has al ways been a public-spirited citizen. He has a wide knowledge of local condi tions and promises, if elected, to see that the county money is economical ly expended. held that with due activity for the two remaining registration days there is every reason to believe that the out come in the county will be favorable to the Democrats. UPRISING IS GENERAL Republicans All Over the State Turning From Dunn "If the Democrats get out their vote in St. Paul and in other Democratic strongholds of the state, nothing on earth can defeat the Democratic state ticket," declared T. J. McDermott, can didate of his party for attorney gen eral, on his return to St. Paul yes terday from a trip through Southern Minnesota. "I have been in twenty different counties, and the uprising against the Dunn ticket amounts to a revolution," he said. "Thousands of Republicans are in open revolt and insist that noth ing can coerce them into voting for the ticket nominated in, St. Paul last June. Lifelong Republicans in every town and hamlet that I have visited have told me that this year they will vote, for the Democratic state ticket for the first time in their lives. . A special train run from *«rntbrota to Rochester for the Johnson meeting there Tues day night was patronized largely by Republicans, and one Republican guar anteed $100 of its cost. I went with Mr. Lind in his first campaign for gov ernor into Northern Minnesota, and I must say that the Southern Minnesota meetings have^een larger and more enthusiastic th*v.ln the tidal wave that brought Mr. Wnd so near to suc cess. If the Democrats register and vote the whole ticket can and will be elected." . . NEW YORK WILL HAVE A CLEAN ELECTION Authorities Plan to Reduce Crimea Against the Franchise NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—With a view to safeguarding the ballot and reducing crimes against the franchise to a mini mum, State" Superintendent of Elections George W. Morgan arranged today with the police departmeht to nave the lists of all registered voters in Greater New York delivered to him for compilation into a card index. This index will embrace probably 700,000 names. The lists are to cover the four days'of registration in this city, beginning Oct. 14. Police Commissioner McAdoo is send ing out a general order to the precinct commanders in all of the boroughs to comply with the superintendent's request for lists. The pkth,\Mr. Morgan said, is directed toward miiing the election this year "the cleanesf e\f r known in this city or the cleanest injmapy years." TO FILL VACANCY ON DEMOCRATIC TICKET County Committee Will Select Candidate for County Commissioner Although he hajs not made a personal statement, it is altogether likely that John B. Arend will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for county commissioner at Blclnday evening's ses sion of the DenrtxSr&ic county executive committee, to tdkejthe place of James Cleary, deceased: ;; J. August Nilssqn, another of the de feated candidates at the primaries, is be ing mentioned, in addition to W. J. Pres ton and R. N. Hare. The utmost good feeling is evident among the candidates for the vacancy, there being a general desire to give the place to the man who gets the necessary votes. A number of prominent Democrats who are not members of the committee have been invited to attend the meeting and participate in tiie choice of the^ candi date, the idea being to make the event a reunion- of Democrats that will give the county campaign a tone and bring forth the Issues. VOTERS WOULD SAVE THE SUPREME BENCH Republicans Line Up With Democrats In Demanding INonpartlsan Judiciary The movement in the direction of a non-partisan judiciary has assumed proportions that, it is believed, will re sult in the election of Judge John A. Lovely, Judge C. E. Otis and O. M. Hall, in addition to the election of Judge C. L. Brown, who has been nom inated by both the Republican and Democratic conventions. H. H. Dunn, a prominent lawyer of Albert Lear and a former state senator from Martin county; John G. Skinner, nominated by the Republicans for county attorney of Freeborn county, who has no opposition for election, and C. W. Foote, of Minneapolis, a leading Republican of Hennepin county and former resident of St. James, held a conference in St. Paul last night, at which the situation was discussed. All. though Republicans, are enthusiastic friends of Judge John A. Lovely, whose defeat when he had really tfeen nomi nated by the Republican state conven tion, aroused such a storm of indigna-, tion all over the state. They discussed the situation as regards Judge Lovely and his associates on the state ticket, and agreed that indications point very strongly to the election of the entire non-partisan ticket. Defeat of Lovely a Crime "The defeat of Judge Lovely was a crime against the Republican party," Senator Dunn said. "He was fairly nominated when a lot of juggling Min neapolis ward politicians intervened and counted him out. The southern part of the state, irrespective of party affiliation, is up in arms over the treat ment accorded Judge Lovely in the convention, and he will get the solid vote of the counties where he is best known. But aside from the methods employed to bring about his defeat, the idea of a non-partisan judiciary has taken deep root in Minnesota and, Judge Lovely and the men nominated with him at Minneapolis bid fair to sweep the state in November. The people do not want the judiciary taint ed by partisan politics, and the only way to keep it undefiled is by keeping it out of politics." Want Non-Partisan Bench A large number of Republican week ly papers, supporting the Republican state ticket, are out in the open in their advocacy of a non-partisan supreme bench, and the sentiment in that direc tion is growing steadily. From the point of legal ability, the men nomi nated at tfle Minneapolis convention compare favorably with the nominees of the Republican state convention, and indications are that they will be elected Nov. 8 and the judiciary effectively re moved from partisan politics in Min nesota. FILES CERTIFICATES OF NOMINATION Democratic State Central Committee Places Them on Record The Democratic state central com mittee yesterday filed the nomination certificates of O. M. Hall, Red Wing, candidate for the supreme court, and of the following presidential electors on the Democratic ticket: Timothy O'Connor, Renville; Swan J. Turnblad, Minneapolis; John Frank, Le Roy; D. D. Murphy, Blue Earth City; George Batchelder, Faribault; T. W. Parsons, Minneapolis; Dr. J. J. McKinnon, Wa dena; R. G. Farrington, Ortonville; Anton C. Weiss, Duluth, and John E. Ostrom, Warren. The certificates of T. J. McDermott, St. Paul, candidate for .attorney general; H. E. Hoard, Montevideo, and W. F. Kelso, Hallock, candidate for railroad and warehouse commissioner, and of H. F. Wessel, St. Paul, the eleventh presidential elector, will be filed today. NEGRO SAYS DUNN IS FRIEND OF HIS RACE Tells Colored Brothers That Candidate Has Declared His Friendship A semi-official denial was made last night for R. C. Dunn at a conference of colored Republican ward workers at the Fourth ward Republican headquarters, 346% Wabasha street, of a statement he is alleged to have made indorsing the Southern people in their treatment of the negro problem. D. E. Beasley, messenger to Gov. Van Sant, said that he had asked Mr. Dunn if he had ever said it, and Mr. Dunn had denied it. The story was to the effect that some years ago, on his return from a trip to the South, Mr. Dunn had said that he had no sympathy with the Northern outcry against the South in its handling of the negro problem; that the South knew what it was about and was doing what was best for its own salvation. Beasley said, when he had asked if the story was true, that Mr. Dunn had entered a denial and declared he was a friend of the negro. DUNN ORGAN TRIES TO SCARE REPUBLICANS Story That Llnd Threatens Nelson's Seat Is Generally Laughed At John A. Johnson, while in St. Paul yes terday, characterized as ridiculous the story printed in a St. Paul morning news paper as coming from a Nicollet county man, that John Lind would attempt to use Mr. Johnson's election to pave the way for his own election as United States senator to succeed Knute Nelson. "It is ridiculous, and its purpose is so evident that it is hardly worth a denial," Mr. Johnson said when his attention was calied to the story in the Dunn organ. "The first intimation I had of such a thing was when I read it in Mr. Dunn's personal organ in St. Paul. I have only to say that I have never talked to Mr. Lind or to any other person regarding it. It is all news to me, and I venture the opinion that the story never. came from a Nicollet county man. It seems one has to go away from home to obtain the news. If there -is any movement astir to capture Senator Nelson's seat for Mr. Lind I know nothing of it." Friends of Mr. Lind denounce the story as a campaign canard, printed for a pur pose, and a very thinly shielded canard at that, and say that Senator Nelson, if in danger at all, is in danger from the am bitious members of his own political party.

Every preparation has been made to keep from the ordinary public the secrets of the means to be used in the, interest of the Republican county ticket. Withal the headquarters are the most remarkable the county has seen. With side doors, secret passages, bath rooms, satin settees and a hundred other fixtures belonging to the apart ments of those who live luxuriously, the rooms would cast a cold chill over the everyday voter who feels that he should call at the campaign headquar ters of his party. There is about the quarters an elegance that illy fits In with the personality of a few of the committeemen, but they are willing to "put an airs" for a few days to accom modate a majority of the members of the committee. First Committee Meeting The first meeting of the committee was held yesterday at the new head quarters, and Chairman Webster acted as special escort to the candidates. Standing at the side door, where the aspirants had been requested to call, Mr. Webster escorted them in one at a time and told them that it was neces sary that they go by way of the bar room, located a few feet away. Things had been so arranged, he informed the members of the committee, that they could make their entrance and their exit through the private door and that there was no reason why they should come In contact with the common mob. They were told that one small section of the parlors had been reserved for the entrance of the herd, and that Harry Robinson, colored, big and strong, had been engaged lor the pur pose of seeing that ordinary folks do not get any further. The plan of Chairman Webster, act ing for F. G. Warner, was indorsed by the candidates with great gusto. The candidates indorsed the course of the committee, saying that the arrange ments would prevent their coming in contact with the herd of persons seek ing favors. This meeting was held in a room far removed from the entrance, it being necessary to pass through several anterooms and hallways and run the gauntlet of the colored guar dian to reach the inner room. Webster and Warner Run It It was found that Webster, and War ner and all the leading members of the "kid aggregation" that led the disas trous city campaign last spring were in charge. Nominally Webster was in command, but in reality Warner was watching every move carefully, having in mind the fat position of state oil inspector, to which he expects to be reappoirrted. No information is given out without the consent of Warner. He stands at the head of the commit tee, and some of the county candidates who were made aware of this fact were not slow in expressing the opinion that in reality the county ticket can expect but little assistance from that committee. The candidates were informed that the campaign to be conducted in Ram sey county will cost money. The bath rooms, satin settees and other accom modations were pointed out as proof of the up-to-date method in which the campaign will be conducted. Some of the aspirants began to figure upon the deficit they will be called upon to make good, but did not care to openly ques tion the judgment of Warner and Web ster. The members of the finance commit tee were roundly lectured by the two bosses for not making a better showing during the four days they have been on duty. It seems, according to the report of the committee on finance, that the state organization and the Clapp or ganization refuse to give assistance ex cept to Individual candidates. This caused Warner and Webster to hold a prolonged conference after the commit tee meeting, to which W. A. Gerber, secretary of the committee, was ad mitted. As Mr. Gerber is well supplied with this world's goods, the confidence placed in him is significant. "Jim" Not a Member Numerous friends of Fred Schiff mann's- dog "Jim" are voicing an an gry protest because "Jim" was brought into The Globe cartoon showing the Dunn cabinet. It may be explained that "Jim" was introduced by the car toonist merely to lend local color to the picture. The cartoonist has apolo gized to the dog. BROWN'S NAME GOES ON BOTH BALLOTS Supreme Court Sustains the Contention of Democratic State Committee The supreme court has sustained the contention of the Democratic state committee that the secretary' of state had no right to refuse to place on the official ballot the name of Judge Calvin L. Brown, of Morris, with the words "Republican-Democrat" after hi 3 name. Chief Justice Start yesterday made a formal order in which Peter E. Hanson, secretary of state, is directed to place the name of Judge Brown on the bal lots for the general election so as to indicate the names of tlfe two political parties which have severally nominated him for the judgeship. Secretary of State Hanson said yes terday that he would cheerfully comply with the request; that his refusal had been on the advice of the attorney gen eral, and that the court's interpretation of the law was sufficient for him. Formal Opinion on Monday The order will be followed Monday by the formal opinion of the court set ting forth the reasons which influenced the court in reaching the decision. It Is understood that Chief Justice Start will write the opinion, and that there will be no dissenting opinion. It is not known whether the court makes the order on the ground that the section of the election law prohibiting dual party nominations to appear on the ballot Is unconstitutional, or on the theory that the prohibitory section has been re pealed by subsequent legislation. The opinion is awaited with considerable Interest by attorneys, who have, inde pendent of party, taken a deep interest in the determination of the question raised by the petition filed a week ago by Frank A. Day, chairman of the Democratic state central committee. The news of the formal order com pelling the secretary of state to place the name of Judge Brown on the offi cial ballots with the dual designation of the parties after his name was re ceived quietly at the Democratic state headquarters yesterday. Decision Was Expected "It is what we had reason to expect," said Chairman Day. "Our committee was advised by some of the best law yers in both St. Paul and Minneapolis that we were clearly within our rights in asking for the writ of mandamus directed to the secretary of state to compel him to put the name of Judge Brown on the ticket with the words indicating that he is the nominee of the Democrats as well as the Repub lican party, following his name. Jus tice to Judge Brown demanded that the action be brought, for when a man is a candidate he naturally likes to receive the full vote of the parties nominating him. It will mean a good many thou sand vote 3 to "Judge Brown, and while he was in no danger of defeat he is en titled to have the voters know by the appearance of the official ballot that he is the nominee of both parties. Vindicates a Principle "Our committee has, in this decision, vindicated a principle and that is th« principle of a non-partisan judiciary. Our ticket is admirable in every way. but in having the seal of the highest state court's approval on the principle of a non-partisan judiciary we natu rally expect that the result in Novem ber will justify our claim that not only has a principle been vindicated, but that the non-partisan judiciary idea will be indorsed by thousands of inde pendent voters." Republican leaders refuse to discuss the effect of the decision. The decision will have the effect of causing the Minnesota statute revision commission to revise its election law compilation.
