Iron ore valuations rise under Johnson plan in Minnesota
Governor Johnson and a self appointed state board boosted iron ore property values in St Louis and Itasca counties from 842,000,000 in 1904 to 1907 totals of 190,000,000, lifting state revenue to 661,200 annually. The change dwarfs the 114,000 under Van Sant and 46,000 more than before Johnson. The piece questions why Van Sant failed to act and why Jacobson did not push the measure during his legislative influence.

Outside View of the Minnesota Situation
James P. Hornaday reports from St. Paul that Minnesota Republicans and Democrats agree on Taft's carry and Johnson's re election but differ on margins. Republicans predict Taft about 50,000 ahead with Johnson narrowly re elected, while Democrats foresee Taft around 25,000 with Johnson possibly surpassing 40,000. Hornaday notes private consensus favors Johnson and outlines Republican reasons for Taft lagging Roosevelt and campaign financing dynamics.
