finally practically thrown out of the

would not enter into any personal mat

above the personality of any one men,

reason Tor the state committee delaying
in opening up the campaign. In the
first place it took money. and where was
it to come from? The old parties were
not doing much as yet, except within
their organizations. and they had all the
money they wanted for campaign.
Donnelly wanted to know why they
hadn't made an attempt to get money.
II they had come out with an appeal for
funds it would have given the ''Rep-
resentatiVe" chance to publish edi-
torials asking the people for campaign
fund.
II. G. Peterson, of St. Paul, defended
Macdonald from the attacks that had
been made upon him. and got in good
word for the daily paper scheme. He

MIR. Peterson wouldn't plead guilty to
any such intelligence, and he kept on
about the daily paper.
"Who are the men who will put up all
this money for daily paper?" inter
rupted Donnelly again.
We'll, understand that McGraw and
Chicago capitalist will put in $50, OO0,"
said Peterson.
"Who are some of the others?' per-

"Well, they claim that they are, but 1

Donnelly uttered something about

into Populist paper.
Mr.. Griffin, of the L ourth ward, made
hot speech at this time. He said that
he admired Donnelly. and he thought
that the resolutions should be passed
Immediately. He particularly wanted
to see Fontalne put back as secretary of
the committee.
Paul FOntalne came to the front at
this time with the stateme mt that he
could defend himself. He was willing
to resign. but he did not consider him-
