in Minnesota politics and help to elect
governor the man who is untrammeled
by the affiliations Of the Republican
machine, John Lind, Of New Ulm.

Encouraging news is received from
Litchfield. The Republicans are MAX
ing a hard fight to carry the county,
but success to them is hardly to be
hoped for The party organization by
the Democrats is in excellent state, and
there is no doubt of an enormous vote
for the ticket of the reform forces.
1t is possible that the handsomest
man in the next national house of rep
resentatives will not be Joel Heatwole.
| The Third district is about tired of
travelling in the national gallery on a
basis of personal attractiVenesS solely
Mr.. Kinds, who is Mr.. Heatwoles OPP
pOnent this time is not travelling on
his personal charms of face and form,
but on his ability to represent the Third
district in the federal congress. He
guarantees no long mustachios to WOO
the willy siren Of Washington, but he
has the tact and the ability to make
a good congressman. His promise not
to have the speeches that he does not
| deliver printed in the Congressional
Record over his own name is making
him thousands of votes, and there
seems little doubt that the Democrats
Will this time be able to elect the bril-
liant Shakopee man to the national
congress.
Chairman Bonniwell, Of Hutchinson,
who is at the head of the committee
which has charge of Mr.. Kinds cam
! paign. says that there is no doubt Of
Mr.. Kinds election. In which event
/ Mr.. ReatWOle may curl his mustache
. again around the rollers in the office
of the Mortified News, where, by the
way they never should have been mo-

There has been considerable interest
attaching to a circular which has been
accorded attention in certain of the
rural districts, in which the Democratic
voters are urged to vote for Messrs.
Lovely, Mitchell and CAVITY This
leaves out Justice Buck, one of the best
Democrats who ever ran on the Demo-
cratic ticket in the state and also one
of the most popular, as is attested by
the vote he has received when he has
come before the people of the state
for their suffrages.
The authorship of the circular is not
known. 1t has been attributed by some
to the COnrOy Democrats in Minneap-
oils. by reason of a dissenting opinion
filed by Justice Buck in a recent de-
cisiOn involving the shrievalty contest
in Hennepin county.
The G b has been unable to OBJ
tain evidence to support this suspicion.
Mr.. COnrOy himself said to The
@ o b e last night, in response to q
query, that he had no knowledge of
the circulation of such a circular and
didn't believe that any of his friends
were sending out such a thing. He ad-
mired Judge Buck for his ability and
for his frmness in standing for what
he thought was right, even when the
\
not only going to vote for him himself,
but was urging his friends to.
Il have had many faVOrs at the
hands Of the Democratic party" said
Mr.. ConrOy. Il shall not bolt it at this
late date"
The Old Soldiers Anti-Eustis club, Of
Minneapolis, has run down Chairman
Steele's Eustis committee in what is re-
garded as a confidence game. The par
tiCulars were taken under cOnsidera-
ton at the club meeting Saturday
evening, but in substance the case is
this: When Chairman Steele's COM
mittee set about to break the force of
the anti-Eustis work, it prepared
leaflet making all that could be said
out of the EuStis case, including his
appointments when mayor. Among
other things given in it was the false
statement that Eustis had been made
an honorary member of George n. Nor
gan post, Minneapolis Of course every
soldier knew that this was not pos
sible, because it is one Of the first c. A.
h. tehets that no person not possess
, ing an honorable discharge from the
! army can ever become a member of the
! organization. This was all Greek to
the civilians Of Judge Steele'S commit
tee from which old soldier workers
have been shut out, and the little leaf
let was launched and widely scattered
before the civilians were aware of the
extent to which they had cut a dog in
two. A roar came from the old boys as
soon as they saw the leaflet, and it
came in from all parts of the state In
the dilemma Chairman Steele again sat
himself down and revised the leaflet,
taking out the reference to the honor
airy membership, but, of course, it has
been impossible to substitute it for the
I other. When they work this leaflet on
! the OLD soldier, showing what Eustis
did for the Coffee Coolers" the veter-
an is more than likely to pull out the
other leaflet. and then there is music
in the air. The Minneapolis boys have
secured copies of both documents.
John Reese has an explanation Of the
opposition to Eustis, and the apathy
in the campaign which is at least
entertaining In reply to inquiry as to
piled, why, you know what is the
matter as well as any one. 1t is due to
the many political fights in which
Eustis has been engaged. Every body
has treasured up something against
him. Now they have their knives out
to get even. 1t makes it uphill work,
and it is surprising that good Repub-
Icans will carry the matter so far as
to run the risk Of defeat"
A speaker at the meeting Saturday
night gave another instance Of the ex
mayors political ''woodcraft' this be-
ing his skill at fooling people, said to
have been in answer to the charge
made that he had abused the Swedish
people in certain speech made in Ne
braska. Eustis, the speaker said, de-
nranded to see his accusers, and was
taken before a little knot Of Swedish
people whom a glance he sized up as
not being very we'll posted geograph-
ically. why, my friends" he said,
''the idea that 1 said anything against
you, is simply preposterous. In fact,
