Captain Sam R. Van SAINT was the
most prominent candidate-aside from
w. H Eustis-for the R,pu blican nom.
ination for governor at the state con-
vention last June. Captain Van SAINT
was particularly the candidate of the
veteran soldiers Of the state, they hav.
ing championed his cause almost unan.
imously. While the small gang of
disaffected veterans in Minneapolis are
using Van SAINTS name to bolster their
selfish and unreasoning opposition
tbs, the captain is personally on
the stump, striking stalwart blows
in favor OF Eustis and the whole Re.
publican ticket. During last week he
was making the tour of the southern
section of the state During the cur.
rent week he will work gradually up
toward the Twin Cities, and thence
gradually into the Sixth and Seventh
congressional districts. It is expected
that Captain Van SAINT will spend, at
least one full week in Minneapolis Ill
ST. Paul. and it is very noticeable that
whenever he makes his appearance tne
veteran opponents of Mr.. Eustis pro.
coed to "get good" once more, and re.
turn to their faithful allegiance to the
Republican party.
The St. Paul Globe is making q
highly excited and decidedly "yellow"
attempt to fool the old soldiers through.
out the state into tine belief that the
Anti Eustis Veterans club in Mime.
apolis is becoming strong and serv.
iceable cog wheel in the Democratic
machine in the Twin Cities. The sim.
pie, unadorned truth of the matter is,
that the reputable Civil War citizens
of St. Paul and Minneapolis-the last
man of them-are supporting the whole
Republican ticket and will vote solidly
for Eustis for governor in Novem Der.
There has been no struggle by the vet.
eran supporters Of Mr., Eustis to leap.
ture" the Lind organization. which is
doing business purely CD salary basis
in Minneapolis. All the noise oncerD-
ing ''bolt" against Eustis among the
veterans comes from half dozen gen.
temen who are on the salary list. and
their organ Of publicity is the st. Paul
Globe. Veterans throughout the state
will take all political statements con.
eerning the position of the Twin City
Veterans as enunciated through The
Globe with several grains of salt.
Attorney General Childs has decided
that the Democratic. Populist comb ine
throughout the state has the legal right
to claim the second place on the ticket.
The decision was rendered in response
10 an application made by Secretary of
state Berg, who demanded strict
bgal construction OF the law, because

slaiming the right to and demanding
