FOR PRINCIPLE
A Prominent Norwegian Leaves
the Republican Fold.

Inc INcDuDilCdIII II Olu.
DR.. Edward Boeckmann, a prominent
Norwegian physician of st. Paul, and
one of the best posted Scandinavian
students of political economy in the
state, has announced his intention to
support Cleveland and Thurman and
Eugene Wilson. DIR. BOeckmann has
been a Republican. and is at present
lieutenant colonel on the staff of Gov.
McGill. Like all thinking Scandinavians
he has been close student of the tariff
question and keen observer of the con-
duct of political affairs by the two par
ties in Minnesota. Immediately after
the nomination of Mr.. Merriam DR..
BOeckmann said:
81 cannot support Mr.. Merriam for
governor and will not, and if he should
(if elected) tender me a reappOintment
of my present position | would decline
it. am in hearty sympathy with the
Democratic demand for lower taxes
and the pledges made by that party in
this state to strive for them. My voice,
influence and vote will go to Cleveland
and Wilson. They stand close to the
people, and since my cOuntrymen form
so important a part of the tOiling popu-
IatlOn of this state, | can see no legit-
innate reason why they should not d o as
have and declare for the men who
represent their interests"
DR.. Boeckmann is gentleman widely
known over Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Dakota. He is man of influence.
and his manly stand for the cause of
tax reform and honest government will
attract widespread attention. He rep
resents that spirit of independence
among the Scandinayians that is rapid
ly making them the foes of the machine
politicians of the Republican party.
The sentiments he expresses are voiced
by hundreds of NOrwegianS in the Fifth
district, who for the first time will this
year vote the Democratic national and
state ticket.

The Press Being Subsidized for
Him.

WINONA, Sept. 13.-The Wiarus, the
Polish paper recently bought up by the
Republicans, to-day Informed its read
ers that for nine weeks, which covers
the period of the campaign, the paper
would be circulated free of charge to all
who might desire it. The Republicans
are making this desperate effort to cap
ture the Democratic stronghold of Wi
mona. the Fourth ward, but their object
isstOO apparent to succeed and all their
efforts will be unavailing. The deal
which transferred the paper and
changed its political color was cOnsum-
mated, it is reported solely in the inter
est of Merriam. The idea was an eX-
pensive and possibly brilliant one, but
it twill not win. The announcement of
its free circulation following the day
after Hon. Mark II. Dunnell's confer
enee with the Republican bosses here
Yesterday, arouseS the suspicion that
the Republican candidate in the First
district also had a hand in this affair.
It arOuses no alarm among the Demo-
Gratis, who are confident of the usual
support this fall from the Polish ele-
ment of the city.

Needham went down three times to
avoid punishment. There were several

The contest gave good satisfaction on

clever. Both men were badly bruised
about the face, although Needham did
not begin to show the effects of the pun

A Chance for a Democratic Legis-

DETROIT, Mimi, Sept. 13.-A Demo-
cratic state senatorial convention has
been called for this district, which is
composed of Becker, Clay and Wilkin
counties, to meet at Detroit Saturday,
Sept. 29, in the forenoon, to nominate
one senator and one representative.
The representation will be as follows:
Becker, six delegates: Clay eleven, and
Wilkin five delegates. The Democ-
racy, since Wilson's nomination for
governor, have great faith in the num-
Der of votes they will be able to poll for
the choice of the coming convention.

road to travel, they think there is room
for hope. Two years ago McGill

lists take out 800 more from the Re-
