Excerpt from H. P. Hall's Observations: Being More or Less a History of Political ContestsWhile, as far as they go, my observations are designed to make, when united, a political history, I do not assume to write what might be termed a complete résumé of the political events which have transpired in the State of Minnesota. That would involve the publication of a semi-political almanac, which is the farthest from my intention. It has been my aim to confine myself to political contests, not so much between political par ties, but rather internecine struggles within the ranks of the party which has been dominant most of the time since the forma tion of the territory of the State of Minnesota. If the Democrats do not appear as frequently as the Republicans it is because the Republicans have been so much more numerous that they (the Democrats) did not have as much to fight about.As the work has progressed, my greatest dilemma has been to determine what to omit rather than what to tell. I have sought not to invade the grave or unduly disturb the living, and so far as the dead are concerned have largely confined myself to matters made public while they were still alive, as well as quot ing from public (though forgotten) records which live forever.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
