4 Proposition io Build an Iron Highway
Across the Desert.
From the London Times.
Al the last meeting of the French Aca-
demie dies Sciences, III. George ROLAND, a
well known engineer, read a paper upon
the subject Of the railway across Sahara.
After pointing out that il was time for
France to make up her mind as to the
part she intended taking in the economic
conquest Of the interior of Africa, he de-
fined what were the regions of the west
ern and central Soudan upon which
French commerce could reasonably
reckon, his conclusion being that nothing
durable or really useful could be effected
in the Soudan without the assistance of
Algeria. while in order to take any effect

means Of n railway across the Sahara.
Dwelling upon the necessity of a trans
Sahara railway from a strategic. political,
and commercial point Of view, he asserted
thai the route from the Algeria To the
Soudan, although II might be the longest,
might he made the most expeditions IL
proper influence was gained over the
Touaregs. who hold in their hands all the
trade between the Mediterranean and the
Western aud Central Soudan. In this
view he warmly supported a proposal
made by Genera Phillibert 10 send a col

the essentially pacific mission of creating

first sending a column to In-Salah, upon
the ground thai il would give rise To great
difficulties, which would solve themselves
once the ouarcgs were gained over. His
conclusions, therefore, was that the only
practical and speedy method OF opening
up the Sahara vas Ia construct "A light

WHO ARE THESE MEN ?
Candidates Put Into the Field by
the Democrats.

CIC DCIIlOCXdtSs
DR.. j. w. Bell heads the Democratic
legislative ticket in the Thirty-third dis
trict. Who in that part of the city
doesn't know DR.. Bell? He is an old
resident of the city, and one of its best
physicians. He enjoys as large prac-
tice as any doctor in Minneapolis. His
name is everywhere afamiliar one. You
know him and you know that you will
be making no mistake in voting for him.
Who is on the ticket with him?
SilvanuS A. Stockwell, candidate for
representative, is native of Minnesota,
being one of the first white children
born in AnUka. where his father settled
born June s, 1857, and the early years OF
his life were spent in much the same
manner that other farmers boys spend
theirs, working on the farm summers
and attending school winters. He grad
uated from the AnOka high school when
eighteen years of age, and began teach
ing school. This occupation he followed
for several years, studying law during
his leisure hours. After gaining an in
sight into the legal profession he be-
came convinced that he did not care to
make this his life work, ana entered the
employ OF the American Express conf
pany. Here he remained eight years,
running as messenger the major part of
the time. While employed as meSSen-
ger he came in contact with all branches
of the train service. and had an Oppor-
tunity to observe the needs of railroad
employees.
The constant wear and tear of life
on the road made it imperative that Mr..
StOckwcll should give up his position,
since which time he has been actively
engaged in business in this city. Mr..
Stockwell has given much time and
study to social and economic questions
and is deeply interested in all labor re-
forms, He has resided with his family
in the Twelfth ward for the past two
years. Everything indicates that MIR.
Stockwell will be elected by good ma
jority, notwithstanding the fact that the
Thirty-third district has been Repub-
llcau. Isn't he the sort of man whom
the voters want instead of j. E. Van
derwaker?
James Ii. Huntington, the other DEM
ocralic candidate in the Thirty-third
district, has lived in Minneapolis since
1S7f. He has proud record as an old
soldier and has always been known as
the friend of the laboring man. En-
phatically, he is man who can be
trusted by the workingmen of the
Thirty-third district. After the pres
entation of these facts concerning the
Democratic and Republican candidates,
should there be any doubt as to who are
the proper men to vote for and elect?

The Different Candidates in

How Vandewoker Came to
Assert Independence Of His
Constituents.
Striking Contrasts Between
the Republican and Demo-
cratic Nominees.

The Thirty-third senatorial district is
composed of the Seventh, Eleventh and
Twelfth wards and several country dis
trictS out toward the Minnesota river
from the city limits. Most of the can
didateS on the Republican ticket i'm that
section of the city, both aldermanic
and legislative, have held Office before.

Eleventh and Twelfth wards to exam

Are they the sort of officeholders who
should be continued in office?
To begin with, cast your eye over the
public performances of the Twelfth
ward alderman, who is candidate for
representative i'll the Thirty-third leg

John E. Vandewakeris at presen: one
of the aldermen from the Twelfth
ward. But city office is too small to
satisfy his vaulting ambition. He has
enjoyed the distinction of being the
representative in the council of that
now fast-disappearing race of orators.

refused to receive instructions from his
constituents. He told them to go-well,
not to bed or to supper. A few days
later he voted against the Anderson &
Douglass enterprise, and for the street
railway company. A few months be-
fore he had been for the people. That
visit from Col. Goodrich and the trip to
Boston had braced him up wonderfully.
The Thirty-third district voters no
doubt appreciate the fact that rene
gade is worse than an open, implacable
enemy.
After that Vandewaker knew that he
couldn't be reelected alderman, so he
ran up rod for the attraction of legis-
lative lightning. His treatment in his
own precinct shows how he is looked on.

Upon what the ftepuDk1Can can.
didates Base Their Claims.
In the Seventh Ward j. M. Meloy has
been renominatea for seat in the coun-
Gil. What about Meloy? Well, there
isn't much to be said about him. He
has never done much of anything for
his constituents or against them. The
keynote to his policy has been that
whenever additional powers could be
conferred upon the grasping street car
company, whenever a promising rival
could be knocked out, whenever adj
ditions could be made to the already
enormously valuable street car fran
chises, Meloy has always been against
the interests of the city and for the
street railway company. He seems to
believe that he was elected to guard the
interests of the street railway company
and let everything else go by the board.
His opponent is nj. B. Rollins. one of
the oldest and best known residents of
the Seventh ward. He has resided i'm
Minneapolis for twenty-five years. and
in the Seventh ward almost since it was
created. He knows its needs and fully
appreciates how it has been neglected.
He is a level-headed business man, a
man who can be trusted with the affairs
of the ward.
A. S. Adams wants to go back to the
council from the Twelfth ward. The
most that can be said of Adams is very
little. Until it had become certainty
that Aid. Vandewaker would run for the
legislature and not seek reelection to
the council, Adams always sat with his
head against the wall in the council
chamber and said nothing. Occasionally
he would vote, but not often. Most of
the time he appeared to be gently
sleeping. dreaming, no doubt. of the
subtle beauties of Minnehaha Falls, the
grassy slopes surrounding it, the tan
gled copse, the rugged beauty of the
ravine, the delicious sense OF freedom

tomato can, the broken bottle and the
fragments of innumerable lunches But,

race, Adams aWoke with start.

OTHER CANDIDATES,
Men for Whom Thirty-Third Dis
trict Electors Will Vote.


Sever Ellingsen, of Bloomington. is
the senatorial nominee of the Repub-
licans in the Thirty-third. He does not
live in Minneapolis and cannot be sup
posed to represent Minneapolis people.
Why he should expect the voters of the
Seventh, Eleventh and Twelfth wards
to support him is uneXplalnable. Those
three wards, within the boundaries of
which is fully One-siXth of the popula-
ton of Minneapolis, should certainly be
entitled to representation in the state
senate. But they will not get 1t should
Ellingsen be elected.
Nor does he represent the country
districts. He was in the legislature
two years ago. What did he do? He
pledged himself to secure the building
of bridge across the Minnesota river
on the line of Lyndale avenue. Did he
do it? The bridge across the river at
Bloomington Ferry is evidence that his
promises are not to be depended upon.
The reason for his action is plain. He
owns property near Bloomington Ferry.
Ellingsen will be badly slashed in the
country portion of the Twenty-third.
Why should the voters of the Seventh,
Eleventh and Twelfth wards support a
man who is not identified with them in
any way and who cannot be depended
upon to represent even the small sec
ton of country surrounding his home?

JAY PHILLIPS NERVE.
The Official Record of the Great
South MINNEAPOLIS StraddleP.

.Be lenient, oh voters Of the Eleventh
ward, and do not judge me by my rec
ord in the councilv' is the passion
ate appeal of Aid. Jay Phillips, who
now has the consummate nerve to seek
a reelection at the hands of Intelligent
people. Such an appeal should have
tendency to evoke ridicule and con-
domination. Phillips was elected two
years ago on the Republican ticket as
Iaboring mans candidate. Does his
record in the council show that
he has labored for their rights?
and they know it. Two years ago,
when the street car men were on a
strike and public sentiment had reached
a point that indicated danger, Phillips
publicly denounced on several occasions
one Thomas Lowry as an enemy to the
laborlng man. He also advocated a
boycott on the street railway company.
A few months later, and what hap
pened? Why, Jay was an enthusiastic
advocate of street railway monopoly.
and subsequently he voted to donate
Minneapolis, OF rather the exclusive
use of her streets for railways. to this
same man. ThoIias Lowry, who only
a few weeks before Jay had cen
sured as dangerous man for
the laboring people, Now what
could have brought about such sud-
den compromise? The GLOBE does not
desire to answer this ON any hypothesis,
but will trust to the good sense of the
citizens of the Eleventh ward to draw
some reasonable inference. 1t would
be unjust to denounce any Republican
whose name is even furnished with sus
picion of corruption and to allow any
Democrat that is lin the same bOat' go
unmolested. But wisely the Democrats
refused to recognize any betrayers in
the nominating convention as the Re-
publicans did. IL the citizens of the
Eleventh ward will lntelligently inform
themselves upon Phillips record for the
past two years there will be no ques-
ton as to what the result will be.
Opposed to Phillips in the aliermanic
contest in the Eleventh is w. H.Lackey.
Mr.. Lackey is large property owner in
the Eleventh ward, thorough business
man and popular with all VINO know
him. Identified as he is with the inter-
ests of the ward. there can be no doubt
as to his fitness for the position. The
voters of the Eleventh should remember
that the contest lies between him and
Phillips. AS between these two there
can be no doubt as to which will be sue
cessful. The Eleventh ward has much
to gain by the election of Lackey. They
have had about enough OF Phillips.
Votes cast for other aldermanic can
didates will simply be wasted.

can nominated for the house in the
Twenty-third district. He has no pub
lie record to be criticised. The very
fact that he was nominated by the same
clique that put up Ellingsen and Van
dewaker. however, is sufficient to cast
suspicion upon him. 1t is an acknOw-
lodged fact thai the contest for legis-
lative nominations in the Thirty-third
district among the Republicans was the
most corrupt in the city. One ambi-
tious Republican stated. before the con-
vention. that he would spend $4,000 to
secure the nomination for the legisla-
ture. He was unsuccessful. The only
possible inference is that some one else
flashed bigger roll" Men who re-
ceive nominations in that manner are
to be regarded with suspicion.
