Editor Win Mitchell of Minto, in an interview in the St. Cloud Journal Press, regarding the political outlook in North Dakota, says with regard to the campaign for governor, and the qualifications of C. A. Johnson, republican candidate:

His record politically is clean cut all the way through. He is an attorney; has served several terms in the legislature where he was emphatically a legislator who did things and always the right things for the people of the state. His political affiliations have always been such that he will go in not hampered or obligated in any way. I knew him well personally—we were in the legislature at the same time and as a man he is a prince of good fellows. There will be no Republican vote rolled up for the present incumbent, Gov. Burke, in spite of the fact that it was that vote which put him there two years ago. The Democrats are making claims for this naturally. They make a hobby of the argument that his hands have been tied by the Republican coterie of officials under and about him, and that he has not had opportunity to show his ability. But that argument of "hands tied" goes no further than to answer the question as to why he has even been as satisfactory as it is.
