Dawson Sentinel:
The state of Minnesota could be
raked with fine-toOthed comb, ana
n more garrulous, egotistic, incom-
Detent man for a public position
could not be found than John La
throp, secretary of the State Farmers
Alliance. Monaghan, of Gary, who
knows him we'll, says that ii Lathrop
was a hen he would lay rotten eggs.
n. Y. Financier:
1t is worthy OF more than passing
notice that farm mortgages are not
in favor TIA present, Boston especially,
of the large cities, showing decided
aversion to such investments. Seem
inolv the mortgage investment COM
panies realize theirloss ofpopularity,
since unusual efforts are being made
to restore public confidence in this
matter.
Dawson Sentinel
The statement in Albert Scheffer' S
organ to the effect that Lathrop was
exonerated by the executive commit
tee OF the alliance will not bear in
vestigation. He was simply "white-
washed" for the time being. The
fact remains that there is little or no
money in the alliance treasury, and
n part OF the little on hand is rep
resented by note given by LathroE
which is not worth the paper upon
which it is written, without gooo
endorser. Hall has endorsed it, but
Hall himself is none too good finan
ciallv if all accounts be true. There
should be at this time good rount
sum in the treasury, and there would
have been if Lathrop had been true
to his trust.
