THE WEAVER CAMPAIGN.

The only argument which Ed.
Viewers supporters are using in his
behalf, if it can be called argument,
is the fact that the FREE Press is
supporting the nominees of theRepub-
lican convention and is not prOstrat-
ing itself before Ed. Weaver and
worshiping him as a new found
deity. This is surely an able argu-
ment and we hear it is doing good
work among certain class. But
buncombe shows the poverty of real
arguments of those who are using it.
Hon. Gilbert Gutterson was in the
city yesterday and stated that in
January, while the contest for United
States Senator was on, Ed. Weaver
approached him at St. Paul and tried
to pursuade him to vote against @. K
Davis for reelection to the United
States Senate. Mr.. Weaver also at
tempted to influence other members
Of the legislature to vote against g.
Davis. We have it from a good
source that Mr.. Viewers hostility to
Senator Davis was occaSioned by a
fancied slight which he received from
the Senator atWashington some time
ago. The statement is that Weaver
sent in his card to Senator Davis, and
the latter was so busy at gthe time
that he asked Mr.. Weaver to call
next day. Mr.. Weaver, who seemed
to think that it was Senator Davis
duty to leave everything and wait on
Viewers pleasure, became so offend
ed because his own Importance was
not Immediately recognized that he
decided to try to defeat Senator
Davis for reelection, at time when
the election of aRepublican senator
depended upon single vote, and
when it appeared that the political
complexion of the United States
Senator depended upon theMinnesota
Senate. Every county convention,
every congressional CONVEX tion and
two state conventions had expressed
the wishes of all Republicans in the
state in favor Of Senator Davis, but
Mr.. Weaver, pulled up by his own
Importance, tried to thwart the will
of the people and disrupt the Repub-
lican party, the same as he is trying
to do inrMankato today. Such man
does not deserve the support of any
Republican paper or voter for any
office.
Mr.. Weaver is playing upon passion
in his desperate attempt to get him
self elected mayor. To hide his de-
signs he is trying to make it appear
that he is martyr and is an in
nocent and righteous object of abuse.
He isthoroughly mad because he was
not nominated by the Republican
convention and has determined to be
mayor whether the Republican party
wants him or not. His supporters
are making the most noise and hope |
to carry the city by keeping up an out
ward show of strength to cover their
weakness

old man came siding up to US. Address

ing some slight degree of pity for a man
who has great cause for grief, but whose
woes and misfortunes have long since
dried up his fountain of tears. One feels
that one may make bold to appeal to a
fellow sufferer in this cold and cruel
world for trifie i'll relief of pressing
necessities when he sees that the person
he addresses is still capable of shedding
tears. Sir, / pray God that your grief
be not of q nature SO profound that no
room is to be found in your heart for
