frequent OmpIa1 has been made
particularly of late, Since the campaign
began, that the business of the office
has been neglected. A striking instance
of official neglect has been brought to
the attention of the -Glob e by a BUSH
ness man, who, as a Republican, is
friendly to Sheriff Chapel, but who, as
a business man,-iS- diSpoSed@to resent
the official negligence that has caused
him loss and inconvenience. Omitting
names (which, owexer,-aTe>a the dis
posal of the sheriff or n of his friends
who may doubt this narration, the
sheriff n s-assistants are trying to
further the political ends of the officer
by a series of receptions and unbusi-
ness-like methods.@sOnathe I'd day of
October a law firm of st. Paul placed
in the hands of the sheriff a document
calling for a leyy@on@ajudgment is
sued out of the district court. The levy
was to be made on the wages of a yard
master in the@empley~-ef a local rail-
road. On Oct. IA, at the request of his
client, the lawyer applied to the sheriff
for a return on the~writ. Nothing had
been done. A promise was given, how
ever, that the matter would be attended
to at once. SeNera4~-days later not
hearing from Mr.. Chapel, the gentle
man who is the interested party in Sc
curing the levy spekeeto the sheriff.
He was informed that the levy had
been made, out that the man on whom
the paper~was servedswas not a regular
employe of the railroad company and
that a portion of his wages was ex-
empt. A~small@part~~of~ amount
mentioned in h levy had been ac-
cepted, however. A few days later the
sheriff told the attorney that he would
see to it that the collection was made
and full settlement made within sixty
days. What I charge" said the gen.
tleman who brought the suit, ''is that
the sheriff and his employees have de-
liberately deceivedme and my attor-
ney in this matter. In the first place,
the levy has not been served at all.
In the second place, the man against
whom the levy vas issued was notified
by the sheriff or his employees that the
levy would be made and a small portion
OF the amount sued for accepted. There
can be but n reason for this. The
man sued is a railroad man in a posi-
ton to command votes. 1t was not the
policy of the sheriff to make any trou-
bic for this man at this time. Third.
the man is regularly employed by the
railroad company, he draws hts money
regularly each month, and no portion
OF his wages is exempt from service.
such deceit and such i~nattention to
business, merely for The sake of affect
ing the votes Of a railroad man who is
supposed to control a few votes, is more
than l a stand. I am a Republican,
but [ will not support any man who IS
SO regardless of public interests. Sheriff
Chapel has deliberately refused to do

When the levy was issued. Such a

Jared How, secretary of the National
Democratic state central committee is
Wen satisfied with the work that has
peen done by his committee during the
campaign. I'VE have accomplished a
wonderful amount of ework-work thai

cause OF I'll money" said Mr.. How
The coming of the candidates was a
great help" to us. The influence of
their presence was Immediately felt
the state and especially In
the cities where they addressed the
peopIe. Gen. meeting at ST.
Cloud was productive of great good.
n there is no doubt that many Demo-
Gratis who would otherwise have cast a
ballot for Bryan will now vote for
Palmer or for Mckinley. From Red
Wing, La Crosse, Winona. n Hast
lngs. where Gen. Buckner made only
brief talks to the people, he made con-
verts to the sound money cause The
same is true In a greater degree in ST.
Paul and Minneapolis, where the inf1u-
ences of large demonstrations were
added to the effects of the speeches.
Gen. Buckner's address at the Audi
tcr1um was a magnificent effort, and I
heard many Democrats comment on the
meeting and the speeches. in >a~manner
that is most gratifying. At the Min
neapolis meeting the good results were
even more marked, for there Gen.
Palmer Int Gen. Buckner both spoke.
Although the head of a ticket that had
not the remoteSt hope Of election. the
candidates. as well as those, of the Ma
tional Democratic party in the state
feel that the end sought for has been
gained. In no small degree have we
contributed to the result of the election

we have assisted in the continuance of
the only safe financial policy"
