ZIMMERMAN STILL ON.
Escapes With a Reprimand, Not a
Disc barge

PatrOlman Moses Zimmerman, of the
West side, was up before Mayor Doran
yesterday afternoon, a complaint hay-
ing been made against him by resi-
dent Of the West side known as 'fWie
ner" Wynach. Wynach accuses officer
zimmerman of calling him .tHot Pep
per-" and claims that the cognemen
bears no peculiar significance to HIM
self and whereas it is distasteful and
irritating, asks the mayor to pour oil
on his wounded feelings by removing
the officer from the force.
Officer Zimmerman denied the charge.
Mayor Doran reprimanded him and
told him that in the future he should
arrest Wynach when the occasion re-
CURED and not call him Hot Pepper.
The charge Is said to be the result of
Representative McDonald's enmity to
Ofhcer Zimmerman, the former having
been hot upon Zimmerman's heels for
some time. Mcdonald is particularly
DESTROYS of having the West side Of
fcer removed from the force, but xup
to the present time his efforts have
been unsuccessful
The Wynach's are very bitter against
Officer Zimmerman, as ''Wiener's'
brother was arrested some time ago
by the officer named, for stealing a
wagon seat, or something of a like
character from Zimmerman
Mayor Doran assured Wynach that
hereafter he would not be dubbed Hot
Pepper" and Officer Zimmerman es-
capped with a lecture.

as many votes as some other things
that might be mentioned.
w. B. Douglas, Of Moorhead, is an
other strong man of the people who
has been honored by a very general
mention as candidate for the house
gavel. He is one of the most promi :
nent attorneys in the northern part of
the state, was a distinguished and sue
cessful member Of the last house, and
came within hailing distance Of the
Republican nomination for attorney
general at the Republican state con-
ventiOn. He was prominently identi-
fed with the Red River drainage bill,
the Ives impeachment case and q, num-
Der OF other measures Of greater or
less Importance to the people of the
state, and particularly his part Of It,
He was decidedly more conservative
in his course than was either Of the
gentlemen whose names have already
been mentioned, but was always to
be located for or against every meas
ure that was presented, and when he
TOOK ground on a measure he was al
ways found on the same side Of it while
1t was pending. He is, 1t goes without
saying, hrst-claSS parliamentarian,
and would fill the chair with honor to
himself and to his district If he is
chosen to the place. But 1t Is not be-
lieved that he is so much a candidate
nation for attorney general two years
hence.
Judge Samuel r. Littleton Is another
prominent and successful Republican
who has been suggested as good mate
rial for speaker. He, also, is q law
yer of much ability and a legislator
with a good record, though his work in
the last session was of more general
character than that of some of the
other members who had special inter-
ests in their keeping. He was promi-
nent and effective i'm the debates on
the floor when the more important bills
were being considered and was one Of
the best orators in the house. He
comes from Dodge county, one Of the
best localities in the state, and is I'M
derstood to be a candidate without any
strings attached to him.
j. D. Jones, Of Todd county, seems
to be the man upon whom the slate
makers have agreed as the one most
likely to pluck the coveted honor, not
that he has been slated by any par
ticular faction or section Of the party,
but he is a man who has no entangling
alliances that would be likely to en-
barrass him. He has many friends and
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-29

laws that have been passed by the Min
nesota legislature, notably the Ander-
son railroad taxation bill, the jacobson
''Y" bill and many others affecting the
agricultural interests of the state. In
his work on the floor of the house he is
more aggressive than agreeable and
during the last session, especially, pro-
voked many hostilities by his obsti-
nate support or opposition In cases
where he thought he was right and
others thought he was wrong
The name of jacobson naturally sug-
gests to any one who has been familiar
with the legislative sessions for the past
six years the name of Chas. F. Staples,
or Dakota county. These two men
nave been In close sympathy in legis-
lative work, and were on the celebrated
pine land investigating committee APP
pointed by the legislature of 1893. Mr..
Staples was the leading spirit Of this
investigation, and deserves whatever
OF credit may be attached to the work
of that committee. None Of the mem
bers of that committee had ever had
any experience in the timber business
to guide them in the course Of the. in
vestigation, and they were severely
handicapped in their efforts, but the
work they did was productive of good
results, and the law now in force regu-
lating the sale and disposal of the state
timber was drawn by Mr.. Staples on
lines recommended by that committee.
The state land commissioner at that
time was a Democrat, one of the few
of that faith who ever found himself
in state office as a principal in this
state, and he was necessarily guided
to greater or less extent by the pre-
cedents established by his Republican
predecessors. When the committee
made it's report it censured the Demo-
cratic official only because he allowed
himself to be guided by these prece-
dents, and took particular pains to
exonerate him from any charge Of per-
sonal or official dishonesty.
In pursuing this course, Mr.. Staples
did not make himself as popular with
his party as he might have done by a
different policy, but he made a great
many friends at large, and made for
himself the record of being a fair-mind-
ed and honest servant of the people.
He is q more active candidate for the
speakership than is his friend, Jacob
son, as he is known to really want the
position, and he also has the advantage
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-29

few enemies, and he is the man upon
whom the other candidates would be
most likely to agree when their turn
comes to lay down and deliver their
support to the next man. Mr.. Jones
Is certainly well equipped by natural
qualification and requirements to make
successful speaker. He is a lawyer
of much ability and learning, he has
had great deal of experience as a
legislator, and he has served a term
as clerk of the supreme court. And
here is one of the reasons why he will
stand in line for the support of the
strong party men. He was only given
one term as clerk Of the supreme court.
when precedent and the theory that
one good term deserves a sec
ond, should have given him two. The
republicans are inclined to admit that
Jones has something coming and it
would seem to be the speakership. nm
less all signs fail-which they some
times do in politics.
Henry Feig, of Kandiyohi countv-
where the state capitol doesn't go--is
another rural politician who is sun
posed to stand good chance of beina
stricken by the speakership lightning
Mr.. Feig distinguished himself four
years ago by running within " votes
Of the Populist candidate for congress-
in the Seventh district, since which
time he has been a pretty prominent
figure in Republican politics. He was

mentioned the man who would go into
the caucus with the strongest natural
following is the one who is least likely
to be chosen. That man is ]. F. Jacob
son, the father of the house. VITO
halls from the county of Lac Qui Parle,
and who has been the leader on the
floor of the house in the past two sea-
sons, so far as the leadership can be
claimed by a man outside of ST. Paul
Mr. jacobson is very positive char
acter, a man Of a great deal of force
and a good deal Of ability. He was
prominently mentioned as a candidate
for lieutenant governor, was chairman
of the subcommittee on appropriations
in the last house, and can claim as
much credit as any other one man for
the fact that the tax levy was kept
down as low as it was.
Immediately after the election, as
soon as candidates were put under dis
cussion the name of jacobson was pre-
scented by a number of country mem
bers for the speakership, and, just as
he did when he was first mentioned for
lieutenant governor, he said that he
would take it if it. came his way, but
that he would not go out of the way
TO look Tor 1t.
Those who are acquainted with the
situation say that Jacobson will not
be speaker of the house, and for a very
odd reason. His friends believe that
he can do better work on the floor than
he can in the chair, and those who are
not particularly his friends don't want
him in the chair for the reason that,
If it rested with him, he would work
the members the same number of hours
that he would laborers on farm, and
members of the legislature are not
looking for that sort of a speaker
Jacobson Is one of the most unique
characters who has ever taken a part,
and it has been no mean one, in the
politics and legislation of this state.
He lacks a great deal of being a good
speaker in the commonly accepted def
milton of that term, but that he is a
forcible and effective debater on the
floor of the house there is no question.
He is not wholly in sympathy with his
party this year on the money question,
as he is a pronounced friend of silver,
but no one can say just what the po-
sition Of his party will be on that ques-
ton two years from now, and he may
by that time be in line, for it is q sure
thing that he will not change, what
ever the party may do.
Jacobson has been prominently iden-
tilted with some of the most important

eign shrines. He Is paying his devo-
lions about the totem poles of Bemidji,
under the signing willows of the Min
nesota bottoms, or in the still silent
shafts of the Missabe mines. The
Angelus has rung in his ears from the
belfry Of Mennonite chapels on the dis
tant prairie. He has heard the splen-
did choruses of the metropolis.
But everywhere, throughout all the
cadences of the rhythmic religions, he
could hear but one refrain;

The contest for the speakership of
the house of representatives bids fair
to be one of the prettiest fights ever
put up in the organization of a Mime
sofa legislature. There are fully doz-
en- men who are candidates in a more

assemblage.

not, so far as known, traversed the
political deserts between here and the
Ohio Mecca, possibly on the theory that
Mahomet Mckinley ought to come to
the mountain. He has not even been
in his office long enough to file the GER
tificate of expense which the law re-
quires him to file before he can issue
