In a public struggle within Minnesota politics, The Register backs W. S. Hammond for Congress over McCleary, criticizing Cannonism and the influence of big interests. The piece argues Roosevelt over Cannon and urges cross-district unity to oppose the House speaker’s perceived autocracy.
The article discusses the Oklahoma debate on guaranteed bank deposits. It contrasts Democratic and Republican positions, highlights Taft’s opposition, and argues for government supervision without a national bank. It explains that guaranteed deposits would require strict oversight and could threaten the banking system, while stressing the public’s desire for secure savings.
Notice states the bank is in the hands of the State Bank Commissioner and that deposits will be paid in full by the State Banking Board. Depositors urged to call and collect their money, with H H Smock named as Bank Commissioner. A farmer promised to call in a week, contrasting depositor rush with guaranteed deposits elsewhere.
Frank P. Sargeant, former Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, denounces Judge Taft for reducing railroad trainmen to servitude. He cites Taft’s decision as grievous, comparing it to Spartan oppression of helots and criticizing the strike’s impact on workers’ rights.
In the aftermath of San Francisco’s destruction a proposal surfaced to admit rebuilding lumber free of duty. Republican managers supported this stance, arguing foreigners should bear the tax. The reasoning questioned why residents of the stricken city should pay ten percent more for lumber to serve as a potential tariff revision warning.
The piece notes harsh heckling of Mr. Jacobson by political managers and press outlets. It cites Frank Eddy and various newspapers labeling him crude, likening him to a cave man, while acknowledging sympathy for his plight and wish for relief from constant scrutiny.
The piece critiques Jacobson’s public record as a poor basis for his gubernatorial bid while recalling Attorney General E. T. Young’s brief candidacy and defeat. It argues the convention favored Jacobson despite a frail legacy and questions the electorate’s expectation of his victory.
The piece criticizes Governor Johnson for occasional absences from Minnesota to deliver lectures and speeches. It argues that if voters oppose these criticisms they should elect Mr. Jacobson as governor. It asserts the governor would then be restricted to the state for the next two years, unable to leave without popular consent.
In the Pioneer Press from April 1903 the governor is described as progressive and reform minded yet cautious in major policy steps. The piece likens him to Roosevelt, noting a slightly tamer approach while maintaining strong public persona and reforms.
Those great moral reformers Bob Dunn Dar Reese and Sherm Smith aided Jacobson in securing the Republican gubernatorial nomination. With such sponsors it is unnecessary for Jacobson to publicly state his position on current issues, as the people know his political godfathers well and should accept their creation without comment.
The Pioneer Press notes Governor Johnson as affable and equal to duties, gaining public favor with his tact and good sense, avoiding common missteps expected from leaders.
