Republicans Now Want to
''Compromise" Again--Po-
lltical Notes.

Candor compels the admission that
most of the Republicans in Minneapolis,
that is, the better element of the party,
discountenance the sort of campaign
which certain representatives of the
party have seen fit to induguratc. This
campaign of indecency, which reached
its climax in the cartoon published in an
obscure weekly-the filthiness of the
sheet precludeS the mention. of it's
name--and which was inaugurated in
the Evening Tribune. is now being
frowned upon by the leaders of the party.
Such tactics are always sure to react
against the institutOr. Yesterday mOrn-
ing the Tribune editOraily frOwned
upon such measures in mild sort of
way-public decsncy demanded moth
ing less-but SOFT as was the denuncia-
ton of this outrage, it was evidence that
such dirtinesS does not meet with the
entire approval of the Republican
party. In so far as the connection of
the Republican city committee with this
Infamous piece of business is concerned,
some over Officious Republicans seem to
have been responsible for it. YeSter-
day James McMullen, treasurer of the
Republican city committee. said:
Il know that the city committee had
nothing to do with that matter at all,
The city committee has.neither paid nor
authorized any one to pay anything for
those papers which were brought down
to our rooms. Ii any such move were
made, l would resign from that commit
tee instantly"
Several other Republicans expressed
like sentiments on the subject. Some
one has gone too far. Anyhow. the Re-
publican city committeeman and proli-
nent members of the party We're yesler-

Tomorrow the poll lists will be
opened again and the man who wants
to vote on the 4th of November should
waltz up and see that tile judges OF
election have him on their little list. He
can't vote unless he is registered. His
name must be Oil the poll list or all the
swearing done during the Cronin case
trials will not avail him. What if he
did register two years ago from the
same street and number where he now
lives? That gives him no reason Tor
sitting down and saying. "Oh, well. l
guess Pm registered all right" He
doesn't know anything about it until lie
has visited the polling place and found
out. The judges of election may
have put him down as having
moved out of the district, they may
have omitted his name. All human
beings are liable TO err. Judges of
election are rather more prone 10 error
than other people. Perhaps the pre-
cinct lines have been changed. He may

did two years ago. although i'll the same
house. He shouldn't worry about that
certihcate-of-removal matter. All that
has been changed by City Attorney Rus
sells latest Interpretation of the law.
He won't be compelled to lay off day
from work, and 20 from New Boston to
Short Line Junction to get his certificate
of removal. and then be compelled to
wait three and half hours for dila-
tory judge to appear. He should go to
his polling place and register. If he
registered elsewhere two years ago,
he should tell the judges where
that effect. The judges of election
must do the rest. This saves an i'm
mense amount of trouble and makes the
road easy for the voter. cit leaves no
excuse for his failing to register. Every
member of the Democratic committee,
every candidate and every member of
the party should do his utmost to secure
a full registration. Remember that
after tomorrow but one more day for
registration will remain.

The Democratic candidates for places
on the Fourth district bench have not
been making much noise of late. in fact
at no time since they were nominated
have they been uproarious. but they
are in the race just the same. They are
bound to win and many points are in
their favor. AS was evidenced by the
feeling before the judicial conventions
were held, there are number of voters
in Minneapolis and in the outlying
sections of the district who strenuously
object to the dragging of the Judiciary
into politics. When the Republicans
proposed that the two parties agree
upon non-partisan ticket, the move
ment was universally applauded. The
| representatives of the two parties met
| for compromise. The result is well
| known. The Democrats did all in their
power to secure the nomination of a
non-partisan ticket, but it soon became
evident that the Republicans had no in
tention of compromising. When the
issue was forced upon them, the Demo
Gratis put ticket into the field, than
| which a better could not have been
| nominated. Where would any body of
men find in Minneapolis, or ia the
whole Fourth district, better men or bet
ter lawyers than Seagrave Smith, A. l..
| Ankeny, G. Nj. Pond and Thomas Captv?
| All of them are above reproach and of
recognized ability. They will poll
nearly the solid vote of the people who
favor non-partlsan judiciary. The
Democrat ticket comes nearer repre-
sentlng the non-partisan idea than the
one opposed to it-a Self-evident fact
that no one will deny. The future
looks bright for it,

Now from the direction of Northeast
Minneapolis comes the startling intelli-
| gence-startling in small way-that
Aid. John L. MCGOWAN is antagonizihg
| the candidacy of Honest Joe' Ingen-
hut; that, while otensibly Joe's friend,
| he is working for the Brueshabers and
| Chatterton. There is a reason given
| for this assertion and it is not without
force. MCGOWAN and Brueshaber were
| indicted by the grand jury last spring
| on the same caarge. They were. of
| course. cleared, but an indictment always
| leaves trace of suspicion. 1t is said
that MCGOWAN wanted Brueshaber re.
nominated as a sort of ''vindlcaIion, %
! Brueshaber's vindication, of course, in
| GLIDING himself. Well, Brueshaber was
knocked out fairly in the convention.
but he could not swallow defeat, and
| sprung ChattertOn as an opponent of
Ingenhutt. This latter action was purely
piece Oh spite work on the part of
Brueshaber. MCGOWAN will make a
mistake if he allows himself to: be led
| into any such scheme. If he docs he
will find two years hence that he has
lost the support of the best people in
the First ward.
This is what the Irish Standard says
of Pref. o. Y. Tousley:
How the mighty have fallenl Some years
ago Q. V. Tousley, ex-sup-rntendent of
schools, was looked upon as the greatest
platform orator in Minneapolis. The e. o. p.
utilized his eiocutionary powers and got him
to deliver many bitter harangue against the
Democracy. In an evil hour he imagined he
was better adapted for politician than for
an educator, and accepted consulship at

litical services. While performing his consul
