IVERSON IN
THE RAGE
Announces His Candidacy For
Governor
OH THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
Issues Statement Giving His Ideas
of How State Government Ought to
Be Run—Urges Economy and Law
Enforcement, .Extension of Civil
Service, Publicity of Public Busi
ness, Woman's Suffrage and In
dustrial Development.
Samuel G. Iverson, State Auditor,
has entered the race for the Repub
lican nomination for Governor against
Gov Eberhart's aspirations for a third
elective term. The Willmar Tribune
received Iverson's announcement yes
terday, from which we make the fol
lowing extracts:
"To the People of Minnesota:
"I am a candidate for the Republic
an nomination for Governor. I fully
appreciate the responsibilities of that
great office, and its manifold duties
as denned in the Constitution and
laws. To be of value to the State a
man nfust personally devote his en
tire time and energy to, the work of
the State, be fully informed as to its
laws, and the actual business of the
different institutions, departments
and commissions, and see that the
State's interest shall be economically
administered and the laws of the
State enforced.
"I have been in the service of the
public continuously since I was twen
ty-one years old: in 1881 Postmaster
of Rushford, Minnesota, my native
city member of the 1887 Legislature,
State Auditor's Accountant, Deputy
State Treasurer, Deputy State Audi
tor, and State Auditor since January
1903.
ECONOMY AND LAW ENFORCE
MENT,
"Economy and Law Enforcement,
are, in my opinion, among the para
mount issues demanded by the people
of Minnesota at this time. We need
to call a halt in all public expendi
tures, give due consideration to the
institutions we now have and apply
common sense business principles to
their management. We need to be
come acquainted with the laws now
on our statute books and see that
they are rigidly enforced. In recent
years we have established many new
governmental functions, with new
buildings, new boards and commis
sions. They are all for meritorious
purposes and demanded by the peo
ple, but many of them were created
without any thought of harmonizing
with other departments performing a
similar service. A multiplicity of
such bureaus tends to both inefficien
cy and waste. There should be a
thorough reorganization and co-ordi
nation of all departments with the
certain result of greater efficiency
and economy. Since the State was
formed we had expended, up to July
31st, 1912, for new buildings alone,
the sum of $22,454,024.46. Of that
sum $12,521,333.37, or fifty-five per
cent was expended during the last
ten years. In the fiscal year of 1900
the state expenditures paid from the
Revenue Fund were $2,924,785.89, or
a per capita cost of $1.67 on 1,751,000,
the population in that year. In the
year 1910 the expenditures were $6,
868,836.61, or a per capita cost of $3,
21 on 2,075,000, the population of that
year. From 1900 to 1910 the State's
population increased eighteen and
one-half per cent while the expendi
tures increased one hundred thirty
four per cent. Our people do not
want parsimony, but it is time to
pause in the erection of new build
ings, and provide only for the actual
needs of the unfortunate wards of
the State, and reduce department ex
penses wherever it is possible.
"We need fewer boards and com
missions, not more.
"Intelligent Economy means: Cut
out every needless public expense
reduce taxation protect public
health develop water resources and
promote manufacturing and shipping
conserve and restore natural resourc
es to build up agriculture and farm
life to defend wage workers and sal
aried men, women and children, from
the greed and avarice of soulless em
ployers to aid in reclaiming and
settling unoccupied lands to foster
such transportation laws as will give
every community, large or small, an
equal chance for existence, and in
general to inculcate the doctrine of
the Golden Rule among our citizens
in all vocations.
"Minnesota has an enlightened citi
zenship. We have enacted, many pro
gressive laws, designed for the wel
fare and protection of our people.
But these laws are not self-enforcing.
The people select servants or officers
and employ courts to enforce the
laws. Neglect of duty by a public of
ficer, under our laws, comes under
the head of "Crimes against the Sov
ereignty of the State" (Sec. 4796, R.
L. 1905). The Governor is charged
in the Constitution (Sec. 4, Art. 5)
with the enforcement of the laws in
the following words: "He shall take
care that the laws be faithfully exe
cuted." A vigorous exercise of such
laws by the proper officers Will prove
very wholesome. Public officers who
wilfully neglect or refuse to enforce
the laws within their -jurisdiction
should be promptly suspended and,
if found guilty, removed from office.
Wanton disregard for law, whether
of a village, city, state or nation, is
an attack upon the very foundation
of self-government Law enforce
ment is of supreme importance at
this time. The liquor traffic should
be compelled to observe every law
for its regulation. This can be done
in every village or city in the State,
if proper means are employed. Laws
to prohibit trusts and combinations
in restraint of trade should be rigidly
enforced. To permit trusts and mon
opolies, large or small, to plunder
the people indiscriminately brings
despair and distrust of governmental
power to protect its citizens. Laws
to protect the morals of a community
should and can be enforced.
"Several departments are now un
der Civil Service laws, which should
be extended to include every State
department.
"The 'invisible government' should
be dragged from its place of hiding,
exposed to the bright rays of public
ity and stripped of all influence and
power in legislative and government*
al affairs. Public business should be
conducted in the open and- in the
presence of all the people for whom
governments exist.
"The moral, social, industrial and
political life of our State would be
greatly advanced by giving the wo
men an equal right to vote.
"Minnesota is one of the largest
producers of raw materials, lumber
and iron, and one of the largest con
sumers of manufactured products,
and yet we rank 13 in the value of
manufactures and 18 in number of
wage earners. If utilized our great
undeveloped water powers (450,000
horse power) would place us among
the leaders."

Minnesota Exhibit at Illinois
State Fair Attracts Much
Interest.
Fred D. Sherman, Commissioner
of Immigration for Minnesota, sends
the Willmar Tribune the following
interesting item:
"Minnesota is attracting thousands
of' homeseekers this year. The bulk
of these come from the states of
Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. The Min
nesota exhibit at the state fairs of
Illinois and Indiana were particularly
attractive to the farmers of those
states and daily people are /visiting
Minnesota in search of moderate
piiced lands who received their first
inspiration to seek a home in the
North Star State, by visiting the
Minnesota exhibits during their
state fairs. At Illinois last week
thousands of names of prospective
Minnesota homeseekers were regis
stered by the men in charge of the
Springfield exhibit and literature set
ting forth Minnesota's great advan
tages as a place in which to acquire
a home at moderate cost, will be
mailed to them from the State Board
of Immigration office of St. Paul.
The people living in the territory of
high priced $175 and $225 an acre
land in the states above mentioned,
are looking for an opportunity to se
cure a home where it does not re
quire so much cash to make a start,
and within a short time there will be
a large increase in the movement to
wards Minnesota and the moderate
priced lands. In Illinois last week
at the State Fair, hundreds of farm
renters and factory men visited the
Minnesota exhibit booth and stated
freely that they were going to make
a trip to Minnesota in the near fu
ture, with a view of taking advant
age of the great opportunities of
fered here for homebuilding. All of
them have some means but not
enough to start a home within the
states of high priced lands. The in
terest shown in favor of Minnesota
at the Illinois State Fair far exceed
ed any and all expectations."
Surprise.
A birthday dinner was served at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thyden,
Oct. 10th, in honor of Mr. Thyden's
fifty-first birthday anniversary. All
the children and grandchildren were
were at home. Mr. Thyden was pres
ented with a sum of $51 in silver dol
lors, one dollar for each year. A most
pleasant evening was spent.
