sivelv. EXCEPT that Mr.. Merriam now owes
the school board fund some money, either

We are Informed that the state armOrer,
named Capt. Burger has been seen during
the past few days in citizens clothes, work
ing vigorously for the Republican ticket i'll
several precincts of the Fifth ward. Ac-
cording to our best information, other state
officials. some III uniform and some not are
also engaged in the same business. Now
we would like to ask Gov. Hubbard If the
state paws these men for this kind of work?
Is it fair to the taxpayers of all political
parties to detail men who are in the pay OF
the state to work for zone political party?
We put the question to Mr.. Hubbard as an
official of more than average conscientious
ness If he were an ordinary hummer pol
itician we would expect nothing better of
him; but, being as he is, we think the peo-
Die who elected him have right to expect
something great deal better at his hands.

there are 800 voters among the militiamen
and we cannot afford to antagOnize a single
vote" But came from a falsettO voice
pitched to high key, Il paid 50 on that
bill myself" a deep bass voice responded,
ooh that was only a joke we worked on
YOU" Well ] amt stuck on such costly
Jokes as that" was squeaked out in indig
nant response, land | think SO was too
nRlclr for the use Of that hall on that day."
ThesShaiflnan or some one in authority ex-
plaiaed that it cost 80 extra to scrub out the
hall ssmd the bill must be paid and now,
''fOr we want the boys to help us out i'll orr

observation 70 ObSe rye how all Minneapolis
interests favor the election of Merriam. OF
the two papers which support him one is an
organ that never loses an opportunity to
decry st. Paul and its interests and depre-
clate its credit by attacks on its financial
condition. The other Is owned and edited
by Minneapolis man, who comes down
from Minneapolis every morning. writes ed
itorials insulting ST. Paul workingmen dur
ing the day, and then goes back to his
Minneapolis home al night.
