TRUTH ABOUT IT,
5knnte Nelson Has Never Been
q Railroad Attorney,
But Has Had Many Legal Cases
Against Railroads.
Official Letters That Tell the
Truth About This Matter,

No sooner had the people selected
knute Nelson us their candidate for gov
ernor than the Donnelly party and the
Democrats hegan-for want of any other
thing to say against him-to charge him
with being a railroad attorney. This
was caught up by all the little Demo-
cratic and Peoples party papers and
heralaed all over the state. Now Mr..
Nelson Is not a rash man. He never
goes off half cooked. He got all ready
and last week when he was at st. Paul
attending the state central committee
meeting a newspaper reporter asked HIN
about the charge For the benefit Of
those who do not want to know the
trnth, but will have to know it, The
Fergns Falls Journal secured from Mr..
Nelson the correspondence, and pub
hshed it. It speaks for itself, and we
ao not believe that we will hear any
thing more from Donneliy or the Demo
Gratis aboGt Mr.. Nelson being railroad
attorney. The following is the cores
pc ldence referred to:
