Manly letter of Governor Davis, stating
conditions of withdrawal from the con-
test for the United States Senatorship:
SAINT PAUL, Feb. 18th, 1915.
Gen. L. F. Hubbard:
Mr. DEAR S1R-I take this method of
addressing through you, the gentlemen
who have supported me in the Senatorial
contest. They have requested an express
sion Of my sentiments respecting the rcso
luton that both Senator Ramsey and
Governor Davis shall sim ultancously be
Withdrawn from the canvass as candidates
for United States Senator, and all Repub-
lican members of the Legislature shall
vote in joint convention for Republican
candidates other than Ramsey and Davis
until We elect Republican"
The advancement of Mr.. Ramsey or
myself; is the least considerable clement
in the present situation, and it is, in my
Judgment to be regretted that the person
al questions which have arisen in THIS con-
test should be put forward ir this resolu
ton with such prominence. 1t would
possibly have been better had the motion
prevailed which YOU made at the confer
ence last evening, that all members be re-
leased from the cntanglemcnt Of the eau
Gus, and also from Ill personal obligations
arising from continuous support Of any
candidate, and be allowed t. vote for any
person who should seem worthy of sup.
port.
But taking this resolution As it is, and
overlooking the spirit which pervadcs it,
have no hesitation in saying explicitly
that am convinced that the public good
requires that the Legislature be relieved
from the obstacles to choice which con-
sist in the candidacy Of Mr.. Ramsey and
myself based upon caucus obligations or
personal preference Neither ought to
impede too long the performance Of such
duty as the election cfa United States
Senator. Meeting these resolutions then,
just as they are framed. you are hereby
authorized to present this letter at the con-
ference tonight and to say for me that
my name will from this date be with
drawn from the contest, conditioned upon
the absolute concurrent withdrawal of the
name of Mr. Ramsey. 1t is understood
that the acceptance is made in good faith
and is to stand for naught if the candida
cy Of Mr.. Ramsey is continued Or renewed.
Sly advice has been asked as to the
various candidates who may take our
places. On this subject l conceive it im-
proper to give counsel. They are all gen.
tlemen Of character. learning and integ-
rity.
Witt! sentiments Of gratitude which
battle my powers Of expression for the
support which l have received from the
friends to whom you will communicate
the contents of this letter, and with the
hope that they and our opponents will put
aside the asperitics Of this contest in an
earnest cndcavor 70 perform at this session
the high duty of clecting Senator.
have the honor to be
Your obcdient servant,
c.. K. DAVIS.

Many Of the students were compelled to

is about sixty thousand dollars insurance,
twenty-nine thousand dollars.
The Advocate announces that German
named Charley Horstick, living about
three miles from Fergus Falls, in digging

From the Mankato Review we learn tina,
Mr. James Cornell, Of Mapleton, was last
week fortunate in striking flowing well
upon his farm, at depth of 81 feet. A
large volume of water is being continual

throw to the surface stones as large as q

RAILROAD SCALES.

RAILROAD SCALES.
Mr.. Donnelly's bill compelling railroad
companies to erect platform scales capable o
Weighing o loaded freight car, at all stations
shipping at least ~, 600 bushels Of grain; aud
requiring railroad companies to furnish re-
ceipts for the amount OF grain delivered by
the shipper, and to account for the same
amount Of grain when it is delivered to the
consignee, gave rise te considerable discus
sion. Mr.. Donuel!y made several speeches
on the bill, in which he said among other
things that the sbrinkage Of the weight OF
grain was q species Of highway robbery and
the object Of the bill was to stop this robbery
committed by tho railway companies.
Mr.. White said ho was a heavy grain ship
per, and be had shipped and handled grain
for many years, and he was compelled to dis
puto tho assertion of tho last speaker that
the railroad companies invaribiy returned
less wheat than they received-his experience
for many years with different companise
showed no such injustice or robbery, lie al
so proved that track scales were entirely I'M
practicable, especially at small stations.
Mr.. Hubbard, also a heavy shipper, coin
cided with Mr.. White.
Mr.. Drake corr oborated the remarks of th.
speaker (Mr. hite) and proceeded to show
the impracticability of the bill; be said Their,
| was no railroad company in tho State tina,
could raise means enough to put in such
scales which would cost several thousand dol
lars apiece; if they wero put in, the scalel
would in many instances rot out before eve
they would be required to weigh even a sin
gle car: he proceeded to cnumcrate the absurd
tiles engraited in tho bill, and showed its ut
ter in.racticability. There were but few ia m
crs in the State who shipped their grain b,
the car load, and hence the bill would be. 0
no practical henefit to the farmer. TO very
clearly pre- we'd that the bill was lot wanted
would effect no good; would entail enormous
expense. out Of oil proportion to tho henei
to be derived: was prepostorous in its prin
ciplc, and utterly fal!acious in practice. T..
Mr.. Coggswell supported the objects aimee
at in the bill, and commended that the ship
per should receive q receipt tor his grain
and the railroad company receiving the graf,
should be held responsible for the am cunt de
