soul of Mayor Babb to have his
old friend and supporter, Col. w. s..
King. pitch into the opponents of the
police commission as he does. Babb
said the police commission was an
abortion and should be abolished. King
says, in defense of the administration,
that the only men who want the L. {.
abolished are gang OF heeiers, bum
mers and noisy blatherskites, who
want "to make Minneapolis Il wide
open city, where the gin mills, houses
OF I'll repute and their gutierSnip.G3
symDathiZerS and ward heelerS shall
have full sway aud dominion in our city
affairs and be fed from our city
treasury" Inasmueh as the leading
lights OF the Minneapolis administration
favor the abolition of the police COM
mission, this is, indeed, strikingly sug-
gestive of Republican harmony. and
proves, if King speaks the truth, that
the local administration is run By good
men.
