i ii Y hSDA4 MORNlNG,
paign committee is anti-Donnelly. Mr..
Donnelly knows this. and he also
knows that the men at the head of the
committee are not plant tools to man
ipulate according to the dictum
of the Dakota statesman. Another
thing: The state central CAM
paign committee stands by Mr..
Owen as the exponent and leader of
the Alliance party, and there is no dem
agogism about Mir. Owen; he is a
true, clear-cut reformer. Mr.. Donnelly
is anxious to side-track Mr.. Owen. He
is the stumbling block in Mr.. Donnel-
ton of the Alliance party. So the
state central campaign committee
has got to go, and. against
all precedent, under Mr.. Donnelly's
dictation, the executive committee OF
the Alliance gets down and resolves
that Its function ceased with the last
campaign" 1t remains to be seen |
whether the members of that com
mittee possess the vertrebre or not |
to ignore this piece of observation-disclosures
or the part OF the executive committee. |
phe State Alliance Campaign commit |
tee is the Outgrowth of Joint conVen- |
ton of farmer and labor representa- |
tiyes last July and they certainly cannot |
be resolved out of existence by Mi. /
Donnelly and the Donnelly autOm2tons-
The inwardneSS of that part of the res
olutiOn referring to certain or pre-
tended representatives OF city labor Or
ganiZatiOnS'' i'll the Alliance convention
last year, is not far to seek. These
labor representatives are responsible
for the defeat of Mr.. Donnelly'S candi-
dacy for the nomination for governor.
Hence the ToaSt-"Teal or pretended
representatives.
Question of Eeracitys
Another matter which occupied the
attention of the executive was little
difference of opinion between Mr.. Nc
Lain, formerly editor of the Industrial
Age, and Rev. G. Mueller, of The State.
| Mr.. McLain wrote the commit
tee, claiming that Mr.. Mueller
| had secured the control of the
| Industrial. Age, now known as The
| State, aud run as an Alliance anti
| DOnnelly newspaper, under a contract
to pay $500 month until the debts OF
| the Age were liquidated Mr. McI4ain
inSinuated that MI. Mueller had played
false with him in this respect. Mr..
| Mueller appeared before the committee
and denied point blank the existence Of
any such contract, neither on his part or
| that Of the state central campaign COM
! mittee. Various members bore out Mr..
! Mueller so far as the campaign COM
mittee was concerned. 1t was ultI-
mately decided that a subcommittee
| should investigate Mr.. McLain'S charles.
Mr.. Muller is business manager OF
The State, with eX-CommisSiOner Of La
Dor Lamb as editor. Nh Muller also
| occupies clerkShip in the state audit
Or's office, ana. as he has not deigned to
bow the knee to Mr. DOnneily, has ac-
| cordingly come under the diSpleaSure of
| that gentleman.
HEelier's Reply
Il wish to say. remarked M. Muller to a
GLOBE reporter. that every obliga ion has
been met by me in regard TO the purchase of
the Industrial Age No contract was made
! for the payment of this $500 month, and 1t
is something that can only arise i'll Mr. Nc
Lains Imagination. Is II likely now, that
any such contract would be made by me
when. al the time the Industrial AGE was
turned over to me, the paper was on the
point of suspending publication: Mr.
Grigsby was running the paper, and for the
plant. etc, paid him down a lump sum.
There is something else behind this
matter have bitterly opposed. though not
descending to that depth of Scurrility which
has characterized the Great West, Mr.. Don
neily's action in regard TO that alliance, and
for that reason have got his enmty against
me. | am, however, not afraid Of the fullest
investigation in regard 10 my dealings with
the transfer of the Industrial Age.
Miss Mcdonald Wins.
Miss Mcdonald had the pleasure Of
defeating the sage.
The state lecturer has been a thorn in
the side of Mr.. D0nnelly since her
election. Mr.. Donneily wanted Gen.
Baker elected to that position. and has
Schemed ever since the annual meet
ing to GUST Miss Mcdonald in
some way. He attempted Tues
day evening to have her debarred
from attending the executive meetings
This failed, and next he sought to have
The power of organizing the deputy

No. aid not repulse Mr.. Donnelly. He
made a proposition that, as the election
of Miss Mcdonald was debatable one
so far as Its legality was concerned
that she should resign the office OF state
2 lecturer under the promise that she bt
t e-elected by the committee.
t But Miss Mcdonald refused to bite,
and the Sage decided to capitulate.
Miss Mcdonald was supported by six
