AllOverland Has to Say.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
The Scandinavian Weekly Budstikken of
Minneapolis in it's last issue, and in rather
racy language, makes an attack on me in re-
gard to my presence at the anti-Kelly and
Doran meeting in st. Paul on the first of this
month. Now, as l believe myself justified in
saying a few words in answer to this attack,
l hope, Mr.. Editor, that you will allow me the
space needed. The main object of the Bud
stikkep seems to be an al-firing desire of be-
ing considered on mo side' of the question
which occaSioned the meeting at PfeiferS
hall. This desire, of course, was momentarily
interfered with when Mr.. Donnelly introduced
me as 'editor'' of the paper. But correc-
ton, in this instance, might have been brought
about in more civil way, especially
so. as "Budstikken'' itself commences its
attack by the statement that two days previ-
ouSly myself 'had publicly announced my
retirement from the paper" Now I want to
say that l did not go to the meeting with any
pretention Of representing ''BudStikken" or
any element 1 went there because was
in favor of the purpose for which the meeting
was called. And when Mr.. Donuelly intro
duced me as ''editor of the Budstikken," I
put in: 'sHaye been up till yesterday That
this got partly lost in the Glamour for more
vice presidents, and that l, under the excite
ment of the later proceedings, forgot TO re-
peat this, my announcement from the place
to which L was elected as an anti-Kelly man,
L
KEN is making the vexed statement that
spoke anJi-bossism in the name of the
s'Scandinavians.' Of course there
"may" be something bad in this
But there is, think a little something in
correct about this statement. l commenced
my remarks with saying that ''I' was Sean
dinavian, and the main bearing of my words
was an appeal to the Democratic party to put
the farmers and the laboring classes in the
lead. AT least 1 think the interest of our
state requires such thing, and if the Scan
dinavians'' differ with me in this point,
humbly ask pardon for mentioning the word
''Scandinavian" at that meeting. In regard
to ''Budstikken's'' solving between Kelly and
Doran, l shall say that 1 did regard-and do
the whole matter as not in the least pertain
ing to either of those two gentlemen person
ally. And this, Mr.. Editor, is what have got
to say. Tom OVERLAND.
