Before the mistake could be rectified
this George Dahl, of Minneapolis, was
whisked out of the state by the Repuh-
lican state committee, and, it is said,
was well paid for remaining out of Mine
neSOta until after the fall election.
Well, this same George Dahl is now
in the employ of the Republican city
committee of st. Paul, and this may ex-
plain why it is that the party workers
who reside in st. Paul are unable to get
any of the stuff. The "kidS" are, inI

''Certaiuly. Faulkner is politician

Under the rules of the club nothing

ticket, and this was done. The action

was severely criticised by the repre-

After some three weeks spent in a.
vain endeavOr to pull Matt Leithauset
off the track in the Second ward, the
syndicate candidate yesterday filed hiS
nomination papers, and is now regularly
before the people for the slaughter
which awaits him at the polls on May 8.
Col, Kiefer has at last resorted to
threats, and it would not be at all sur*
prising if Gov. Merriam were to make
another call at the Pioneer Press offices
The colonel, it is said, has threatened
to knife his excellency at the coming
fall election unless he whips his recall
citrant followers into line. Can the
governor perform all that is demanded
