pulse of proposals looking TO "com-
promise" on his report. Probably Dunn
was not consulted in this matter, for he
/ has an instinct that serves nearly all the
purposes of mind, and lie would know
better than to stir up that question.
| But the p. p. wants some light, and ii
shall have it. 1t says that when Bob
| was told that 'there was $1,000 in it to
tone down the report of the COMMITTEES"
! he exclaimed with dramatic effect:
go to hell with your $4,000. This IN
| vesiigalion won't be stopped, not IT you
offer all the money IN Minnesota"
Now in the first place, Bob didn't
| flush clear to the back of his neck" as
stated by his organ, for the single rea-
! son that Bob
Already Has u Color
! which was acquired at great expense of
i time and money, and it can't be i'm
proved on by any ordinary rush of blood
to the face. Hence a Bob Dunn flush
; is but smother name for boDtail flush.
} In the second place, he did not say what
/ the Pioneer Press says lie said; and, by
the way. the sum mentioned was $1,000,
/ and not $1,000. What he did say was
! this: at amt enough; not half enough;
| no, G. d it. not one-Quarter
enough. Why, -- it. this will make
| HE auditor OF minnesota, and do you
suppose | would give that up for
| sinking little roll like tbat?" And in
stead of telling the man to go to hell, as
! averred by the Pioneer Press, he didn't
ask him to go any further than Mime
apols. The fact is, the $500 was to
| have been furnished by a retired lum-
herman who had made fortune out OF
pine land operations, and he feared thanif
this investigation was allowed to go Oh
some Democrat or Pupu list would start
another one which would 90 back TO the
time when he was doing business, but
he declined to put up the necessary
5000 and the investigation went on,
and, just as he feared, another inveSu-
CATION was started.
But if Mr. Dunn was so indignant and
so profane when the S1,500 matter was
suggested to him why did he continue
on such good terms
With the Man
who made it, and why did he continue
to accept the services of that man as an
| assistant clerk, allowing him to take
the testimony of the witnesses at the
regular meetings of the committee, and
how, above all, did it happen that
that man finally drew up the
report of the committee which was
finally submitted to the legislature?
The party in question has great varl-
ETY. of information OIL this subject
| / which he will probably have no serious
objections to furnishing those parties
, WHO have any doubt as to the kind OF a
flush that mantled Bob's cheeks on that
> memorable evening in BOb's room at
J the Merchants hotel. NOW let the
Pioneer Press furnish the name of the
man who it ALLEGES offered Dunn the
$4,000 bribe, and the GLOBE will then
furnish the name of the man who acted
: as clerk of Dunn'S committee, who re-
peatedly took the testimony of wit
nesSes at regular meetings of the COM
r mttee and who wrote the report of the
committee substantially as it was sub
, mitted to the legislature by Mr.. Dunn.
1t is unnecessary in this connection
to thresh over the buncombe about the
Glorious Results
of the pine land investigation. for it has
been shown that neither Mr.. Dunn nor
. Gov. Nelson had anything TO do with it..
: The Pioneer Press claims that the state
has gained $4,000 by the Investigation.
If this is the case. the Republican state
good. for Mr.. Richardson, who has
charge of the legal department of the
investigation. ana who is secretary of
tie Republican state central committee,
: has only turned in about $4,000 to the
, state treasury. In the same connection
it may be well to state that in one of the
cases in Aitkin county handled by the
? Investigating committee and Mr.. Rich
ardSon. the state had already had the
cutting IeScaled, showing tresDaSs on
which the state would have secured
$4,000, instead of $4,000, the basis on
which the committee settled the claim,
: ! thus making clear loss of 81, 600 by the
: interference of the committee.
TO the charge that Biermann is
t | 'kniting" the Democratic candidate for
} governor, while it seems little peculiar
that the Republican press should take
such friendly interest in a Demo-
cratic candidate, it is only necessary to
| say that there is not one word of truth
in the statement. While every Repub-
+ lican candidate for election is spending
/ his whole time at large and 'In the in
.. terest of the ticket" Mr.. Biermann has
not been absent from his desk during
business for one single hour during the
, entire campaign. and has left the mat
ter of his election entirely in the hands
, / of the people, to whom he looks for a
! vindication of the administration he has
given. He is the only state official in
, twenty years who has stood between
the people and the corporations, but he
, will be reelected lust as surely as Bob
Dunn can't Flush clear to the back of
his neck"
