UNION LEAGUE DOwNED.
The Republican County COMMITTEE
Refuses 10 Call a Convention.

REFUSES TO SaIb "a
If ex-Gov. Pillsbury, who presided over
the deStimeS of the recent WINDOW nall
Republican conference, favored the plan OF
organization there proposed, he did not
take advantage of the opportunities his po-
sition gave him. In appointing the COM
mittee to confer with the county committee
relative to a convention, he gave the minor
itv bic representation in the person of
Col. ii. l.. Gordon, who opposed the plan
and opposed the convention, while the
other members favored the latter, though
several objected to the details of the plan.
The conference took place at the Nicollet
house yesterday, those present being as fol-
lows:
County Gommittee-A. f. Scott, A. C. Aus
tin, George Merchant and Thomas Hitler.
Window Hall Communicated. ii. G.. Hicks,
Col. Ii. l.. Gordon, Judge J. p. Rea, J. Il.
Nyman. {. ?. Preston and f. NJ. Johnson.
Col. Hicks was made chairman and at once
asked for business or expressions of opinion
Mr.. Scott said that whatever his views
might be on the plan itself, he was clearly
Of the opinion the county committee was
without authority TO call a convention. The
asst city convention had adopted rules for
the future guidance and government of city
conventions, and he did not see his way
clear to calling county convention.
Judge Rea said no city convention could
control a county convention, or vice versa,
which was evident. Col. Gordon at once
introduced the objections to the registration
plan, which he had fought and on which
he was defeated at the Window hall con-
ference. Not liking the plan, he did not
favor the idea of submitting it to a county
convention. and did not believe the COM
mittee had authority to call a convention
for such purpose. In reply to a question
by Mr.. Wyman, Mr.. Scott said it was his
individual opinion, not the decision of the
county committee. that it had no authority
to call a convention. Judge Rea said there
was not a shadow of doubt as to the au-
thority of the committee 1t had the power,
and the only thing TO be considered was
whether the eXigenceS of the occasion de-
manded such a convention.
Col. Hicks made an elaborate argument
to show that not only had the committee
the authority, but it was eminently eXpedi-
ent to call the convention. In the course
of his remarks, he went deep into Republi-
can principles and verged upon an old time
stump speech, but which failed to convince
either Hitler or MaTchant, who stoutlY OPP
posed calling a convention. Mr.. Wyman
then eXerted his elOquence and then Col.
Hicks again. The county committee alb
soTbed everything it heard and retired fol
consultation. In few moments it returned
and Mr.. Scott announced the unanimous
decision of the committee that it would be
ineXpedient to call the convention as re.
QueSted. The Window hall committee sat
in blank surprise for moment, ther

Two More Libel Suits Against the
Pioneer PreSs--S5O,OOO Asked.

Last fall the Pioneer Press denounced
two Iowa men, who were engaged in selling
territory throughout Minnesota for patent
right, as swindlers and forgers. As a re-
suit Of this pleasantly, LabOum & Rand, a
well-known legal firm, yesterday served
upon the proprietors of the paper complaints
in two suits for malicious libel, which have
been instituted in the district court, in
which John Lee demands $40, 600 damages,
and j. l.. Lee $40. 600 actual and $40.
exemplary damages. The particular article
complained of is in the form of a special
telegram from Mason City. Ia, dated Oct.
20. which is headed The PromiSsory Note
Swindlers, and reads as follows:
The promissory note swindlers. j. L. Lee
and John Scott, under bonds now at Owa-
tonna, Mimi, are well known in this section.
but owing TO the high social position of the
former. our local press OF this county has
been silent, and il was only after an arduous
search that the Pioneer Press correspondent
succeeded in locating and fully identifying
the parties. Lee is a regularly admitted
member of the bar of Cerro Gordo county,
young man of good presence and fine
address, and until about a year ago had a
fine practice at Clear Lake. He is married,
and has n wife and three children. the
youngest an infant of less than year. living
there. Since his arrest and incar ceration his
wife has been prcstrated, but he left her IN
by no means needy circumstances. Lee mar
ried the daughter OF a clergy man known as
Elder Neil, and who now resides at Moulton
L.. The elder had an eye TO mechanical con-
trivances, and invented washing machine
He came here about a year ago AID inter
ested his son-in-law in his invention, and
since then, Lee has been more anxious TO
sell territory rights 10 the invention than
10 practice law. Scott is the son
of Clear Lake farmer of some means The
modus operandi of the gang, as related by
your correspondents authority. the deputy
sheriff, was as follows: They dealt with farm
ers mainly. and with farmers youthful sons,
ostensibly selling them territory for the INTRO
duction of the novel washer. The purchaser
signed license for the territory assigned
him. paper he was told he must preserve,
and then signed what he considered a dupli-
cate for the seller TO preserve, and which was
in fact a promissory note of short time. with
the blank for dollars unwritten upon. This
discrepancy the cheats filed in at their
leisure. Their capture is a deed that merits
the gratitude of farmers and others in this
section, and it is thought here that some of
the horse-thievery in this section may be
traced to the unsavory gang, especially that
at Keeney's stable on Thursday.
This item the complaint denounces as
maliciously false, and as having DESTROYED
the business of the plaintiffs and injured
their regulations in Cerro GordO county,
where they live, in the amounts named.
