Re.~euahIe Argument.

There is an ex-railroad man who is evil
IDENTITY very sensible. He claims that one
of the great causes of loss of life at the re-
cent Rio disaster in Wisconsin was the fact
that the passenger coach was between the
baggage car and the sleep Day coaches.
he claims, should be placed in the a IF
sleepers, because they are much more
lightly constructed and not well calculated
to withstand the crushing force of two
or three great bulks of three times
their weight. The day coach in the Rio
disaster was crushed IN like an egg shell.
while the seepers would have been but
little damaged had it not been for the fire
that destroyed them. The matter is not an
unmaterial one. and miny roads are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of following this
plan. The Erie road hss already adopted
this style of making up its trains.
Years ago loaded freight cars were placed
behind passenger coaches in mixed trains,
and this style of train making was followed
until its menace to human life attracted the
attention of the people The legislature
enacted law compelling the railroads to
attach their passenger coaches to the rear
of the freight cars when in mixed train.
1t is Just as much violation of the laws of
reason to place a passenger coach between
a locomotive and tender and two or three
heavy sleeping cars as to place them be-
tween freight cars and this is matter that
the lawmakers of the country may see tit
to consider at no remote day.

ems. The technical ouIbble upon which

zens. The technical bubble upon which
they seek to justify the outrage is too con-
temptible to discuss. The right of suffrage is
not only the constitutional right of an
American citizen. but it is an inherent
right. 1t is a right of which he cannot be
deprived, except by his own misconduct.
The legislatures are invested with the
power to protect the ballot, but there is no
power to destroy it. With the view of pro-
tecting the secrecy of the ballot the
law provides that no mark or de-
vice shall be put on a ballot
by which it can be designated as the ballot
Of any particular voter. The only place
that such mark or device could be affixed
would be on the outside. Therefore the
technical bubble that ballot should have
printed at its head the name of the party or
political organization which the ticket
represents is in no sense violation OF
either the spirit or letter of the law. Con-
sequently the action of the Republican
judges in Minneapolis in refusing to count
the ballots cast by the labor voters in that
city is an infamous proceeding which cannot
be sustained by the courts and ought not
to be tolerated in any community Of hon-
est. intelligent, liberty-lovIng people. The
ballot must and shall be protected. The
iDalienable right of the American citizen
to vote shall and will be respected. The
worse days of kukluX reign in the South
never perpetrated more atrocious crime
against the liberty of the citizen than was
done in Minneapolis yesterday.

GIVE 1T TO MINNESOTA.

There is an unfortunate probability that
the news regarding the failure OF Con-
greSsmen CARLISLE and MORRISON to
secure reelection is true, and that the next
congress will be deprived Of the benefit of
their ripe experience and trained ability.
In Mr.. CARLIsLE's case the failure is
aggravated by the fact that not only dis
tinguished advocate of revenue reform, but
a presiding officer who is acknowledged to
be model of fairness, is lost to the house
for one term, at least. There will
therefore, be the necessity of select
ing a new man as speaker. Able
though he undoubtedly is. Mr.. RAN
DALL's pronounced protection views will
probably prevent his selection. But an
other way out of the difficulty occurs.
Minnesota will send, for the first time in
her history, three Democratic congressman
to Washington. Any one of the three gen
tlemen would. in presence, experience and
ability, admirably fill the speakers chair.
Each one is in sympathy with the majority
of the country upon tariff reform, and any
one would reflect credit upon himself and
his state. Minnesota deserves recognition
for the grand work she has done in behalf
of the Democratic cause, and it could not
be granted her in more graceful manner
than by the election of one of her con-
gressioual delegation to the speakership.

THE SITUATION.

The returns at 8 o'clock this morning
show that the gubernatorial contest is still
in doubt. Full returns from thirty-hV
COMMITTEES. martial returns from the other eoun-
ties and estimates made on the unheard
from precincts, the estimates being DaSeo
m the returns already in. and allowing the
same ratio of Democratic gains that has
been maintained, elect AMEs by 1920 plu-
raIitv over MCGII.L. 1t will be remem-
bered. however. that there is an
rnknovn factor which cannot be
taken into any estimate. That Is
the new vote. the increase in the voting
nonulation of the state since the election OF
two wears ago. 1t will probably amount to
several thousands, but there are no means
of determining which side will gain by 1t
until The official returns are in. Mayor

by $4,000 majority. At 2 o'clock this

son by nearly 3, 600 majority, MACDONALD
by from 1000 to 1900, and Rice by a
majority that will range anywhere from
5000 to 5000. 1t is apparent that the
Democrats have made gains in the legisla-
ture. but the legislative returns are so IN
complete as to make it impossible to de-
termine how large the gains are. So that
taking it altogether, it has been a mag1ih-
cent triumph for the Democracy of Mime

JUDGE J.L. MACDONALD.

There ueed be no better evidence of
Judge MACDoNALD's personal popularity
han that he should so easily walk away
the congr essional contest from the genial
Red Wing editor. whose social qualities en-
dear him to all that come in contact with
him. 1t is Mr.. HERBERT's misfortune
that he should have attempted to crafty
his political ambition by attaining con-
gressional honors just at time when he
was to be opposed by political opponent
of such overshadowing ability, and at a
time, too, when the people of his district
were in the act of rebelling against ring
domination. Mr.. HERBERT will have the
consolation of knowing that it is no dis
honor to be defeated by man like Judge
j. l.. MACDONALD. He will be the peer
of any man who sits IN the next congress.
He will make representative that Mime
sofa will not be ashamed of, and Mr.. HER
BERT, along with the other Third district,
will rise up to bless the day that Judge
MACDONALD was elected.

Wilson attributes portion of his large
majority to Mr.. WINDOWS speeches in this
district, and says wherever Window fol-
lowed after him during the campaign the
people rolled up the largest majorities for
the Democratic candidate And I have
heard strong Republicans, who heard Win
dOm'S speech at the opera house on Mon
day night, say that they made their decis-
ion then and there to vote tor Judge Will
son. Numerous inquiries are made here
about the 5000 labor votes in Winona
which Mr.. Tawney spoke of at the Kasson
convention, and it is fair to suppose
also that Mr.. Lovely wonders why his
boosted strength in this city failed to show
up.

the exception of Frank Cotter, for treas
