President Roosevelt very sensibly

GOV. VAN SANT'S HOME PAPER.
Here is an editorial extract from
the columns of the Winona Republi-
can-Herald, by all odds the ablest and
most influential paper published in
southern Minnesota:
It is estimated by some of our
contemporaries at the State cap
ital that the governor's chief
object in speaking as he did yesterday
was to head off the possible candi
dacy of Ex-AuditorR. C. Dunn, who
has been charged in certain quarters
with being a sympathizer with the
merger coterie. We should hope there
that is no ground for this supposition.
Gov. Van Sant, even if he could afford
to do so personally, would make a
great mistake in pursuing a course
which might lead to serious party dis
sension. We think he has been mis
represented. At any rate, he is likely
to avoid a repetition of the mistake
which brought about so much unne
cessary bitterness in the speakership
contest of last winter.
As to Mr. Dunn, we have no know
