never heSitates about speaking out.
Capt. Babb will answer the charges
satisfactorily or he will be showed under
by the largest majority ever given
candidate for mayor in Minneapolis.
People may as we'll begin practicing
writing Mayor Winston.
Capt Babb did not appear before the
Municipal Reform club. He would
list for bis employees. and the question
would have been embarrassing.
The Republicans now realize to the
full that their evil deeds came back on
them. For political ends they changed
the date OF the city election. hoping 10
carry their city ticket through on the
tails o. the national ticket. 1t has
proved a bad boomerang. The outlook
now is that the Democratic city ticket
will go in on grand swell anG carry
everything along with it. Wilson,
Winston and victory seem TO be syn
Onymous terms this year.
Some of the boys who were at Itch
field Thursday evening are telling Il
pretty good story on DOnnelly. He was
addressing Il Republican meeting in the
hall where. two weeks before, he had
spoken for the farm and labor ticket.
He endeaVOred TO explain his change OF
front. and said: After Il canvass of
the farmers we raised Just S14, and as
had expended $3.50 myself it was time
10 call a halt. After looking over the
field | concluded to join the Republic
ans" \ man in the front row re-
marked: las Your first party had no
money you concluded you would go
where there was plenty of it," The
laugh was long and lOuG, and for once
DOnnelly could not reply.
Democrats in the Third ward cannot
go wrong III re-electing Aid. McArdle
and Gilman. They have both been
earnest and active officials. and should
be returned to the council. Though the
ward will give pOnderOuS majority.
there is no sense IN dividing up the
strength among sOrehead candidates.
No Democrat in that ward can afford to
vote for any aldermanic candidates
other than the regular nominees, Nc
Ardle, Gilman and kiichli.
The respectable elements Of both par
ties are rallying about Robert J.. Penney
for county attorney. People want a
change in that Office. There may be no
truth in the stories in circulation re-
but it is common street talk, and
change is needed TO stop it. No party
consideration should prevent ali good
citizens from voting for new deal, and
an OYerhauling of the books. r. l..
Penney will make a jealous and efficient
public prosecutor.

If the outside counties do their duty,
a singing rebuke will be administered
10 the principle that would parcel out
seats on the bench as political rewards.
Henry q. Hicks stands on platform
that declares for dragging the Judiciary
into politics. Charles NJ. Pond repre-
SCENTS the higher and better idea thatthe
lofty position of judge should be held
above the miTe of partiSanShip. Hen
nepin county will cast large majority
for Pond, and it is believed Wright,
AnOka and Isanti will swell 1t.
In 1880 the Republican managers of
Indiana sent to Minneapolis for funds,
and succeeded in raising Il large fund,
which helped to buy the state for Gar
field. In 1884 the same men again Wis
tied this city, but they got not cent,
and they lost Indiana. In 1883 they
once mere tried, but they could not find
Minneapolis Republican who believes
Harrison has a ghost Of show of carry
ing his own state. and they refused 10
come down TO the tune Of even one dol
lar. OF course, Harrison will not carry
Indiana.
Il think Hugh Harrison will get on
the sunny side of 1000 votes in Henne-
pin county," remarked George F. Getty,
yesterday. There are others who think
5000 is a very moderate estimate. You
would be SurpriSed'' said one, Ito know
how many solid Republicans will vote
for either Wilson or Harrison. They
can not 60 Merriam. One prominent
Republican was offered a good round
sum if he would come out openly for
Merriam. hut he declined the Doodle
with thanks. Hugh Harrison will get
4 big vote and Gen. Wilson a big ma
jority in Hennepin county"
\ great many queer stories are float
ing about in Minneapolis concerning
George Dahl, the Willow caterer OF the
Algonquin club. Dahl was as Door as a
church mouse and now he IS rolling in
wealth. That he was the man who
acted as Doodle bearer at the Repub-
lean state convention. no one seems to
doubt. 1t is street talk that while the
hunt was on after George Dahl, of
Fergus Falls, the other George
Dahl was lying low with his
knowledge for sale for the highest cash
price. \ prominent Scandinavian said
his mouth was closed by $1,000 in cash.
and that he is now in Wright county
until the affair blows over. The Fergus
Falls Dahl is the Dr.. Jekyll OF the Doodle
force. and the Minneapolis Dahl is the
Mr.. Hyde.
When E. c. Babb took the oath of
office as alderman of the Eighth ward,
had he then in contemplation the deal
by which he participated in a city con-
tract? Such an alderman is known in
New York as doodle alderman"
Will Minneapolis elect Doodle alder
man mayor? Not this year.
In making political capital out of the
gambling regime. the poor little Journal
trips over itself several times. Ii walls
out that AmeS and Hoy understand
each other, hence the gambling. Yet it
must remember when Jaime was a
member of the commission and was
directly opposed TO Ames, the
gambling went on just the
same, and was written up by the
Journal in the same way. Baker, BaX-
ter and Janney controlled the commits
sion. according to the Journal, and yet
the gambling went on merrily. With
the Journal. it was a failure to make
money out of the gamblers, so it was
made political fake-an anti-electiOn
roorback. Go to. Journal. Go three.
