Horace BigeIOw and Ed Rogers
and Jaggard should Not BE Hon
Ored by the Voters OF Ramsey
County, written by One Familiar
With Them.
To the Editor of The st. Paul Globe.
There are a few birds the voters
should take a shot at next Tuesday.
Here they are, and I'll tell you the rea-
sons why.
County Commissioner Quehl is a
bird and a very rank one at that. He
has played the role of the dog in the
Elanger ever since he took a seat on
the board. Atler boosting his own
salary from $500 to 5000 a year he has
, stood in the way of the allowance OF
every bill presented by any person
against whom he had a grievance,
either real or fancied. / recall one case
of this kind, which gives a striking eX-
ample of the meanness and stubborn
ness of this individual The bill had
been o. KID that the work had been
done and the amount reasonable in his
opinion. Quehl was on the committee
on claims and had hatred of the firm
presenting the bill. He refused to al
low II. quit was III SdlSllS0 anu litC
county attorney was called in and he
advised that the bill be paid, as there
was absolutely no defense to the suit
Still Quehl was obstinate and threw
out some insulting references against
the firm in question. There was moth
ing left for the firm to do but bring
suit. The case practically went by
default, and in addition to the original
bill, costs to the amount of $50 to SIS
were taxed UP against the county. The
upShOt of the matter was that the
county was struck for about $500 more
than the original bill, all for the pur-
pose of allowing Quehl to vent his petty
spite
This is but one case of fifty in which
Quehl has been concerned, and in
which the mans miserable, spiteful
nature has served to mulct the county
treasury. This has been his course of
conduct from the beginning to what
is hoped will be his finish. He has
insulted decent, respectable people who
have appeared before the board, for
getting that he was their servant and
not their master.
In this connection it will be recall
ed how he slandered the good name
of Rev. David Morgan and Mrs. Root
without the slightest cause, and then
crawled like a whipped cur when he
was pursued by the iron hand Of jus
lice. was VI
enough to have done a little contract
work for the county, and before could
get my hard earned money l had to
undergo the scurrilous insinuationS Of
this high Republican mogul, who can
see woodchucks in everything except
in the matter of raising his own salary
in direct violation of the plain letter
of the law. Pass him UP.
O. H Arosin is another bird. He is
the purse proud individual, the dainty
gentleman who wouldn't touch elbows
with even the rank and file Of his own
Scandinavian people for fear of be-
coming contaminated. The evening
organ charges his opponent with the
support of Lake Breeze Lawton.
This is a very cute ruSe on the part
OF Tom Lowry's organ to divert sus-
picion from Arosin, who long has borne
the reputation Of being a follower Of
these who take pride in the leadership
of Lawton, Butts, Wedge and the rest
of those delectalbles.
Arosins record on the fire board
Should condemn him in the eyes of all
the people of st. Paul without regard
to party. This small specimen was
responsible for the turning out Of serV-
ice John Jackson, one of the best fire
chiefs in America. No charges were
offered against Chief Jackson. 1t was
sufficient for Arosin to suspect that
the CLlIGI was ppOSOo ~ NC q OCAIhO-
crat, and that a follower of Lawton,
Butts, etc, wanted the place. In vain
did the Pioneer Press protest against
the outrage. In vain did such men as
George Freeman and Reuben Warner
protest. AroSin had received his in
structions from Frank B. Doran and
obeyed his behest like the craven that
he is.
The firsmen and pol cemen and dece IT
citizens of st. Paul, the friends of John
Jackson, will remember all this on
Tuesday and vote for that big-hearted,
generous man, Anton Miesen.
And Horace Bigelow is bird. He is
a fine specimen to be running for coun-
ty attorney. He couldn't draw up an
Indictment even if he found one in the
books He never tried case in court
in his life, with the exception of one,
and then he displayed his laundering
incompetence to such an extent that he
was the laughing stock of the entire
court room. What is this fellow 60
ing to do in the event of his election
To hustle beer for can-rushers in a
hunt for votes won't assist him a Bit
In trying criminal cases. BigeloW
should be slaughtered. He is the fell
low who is going about and approach
ing people after this fashion: Say
you amt going to vote for that sheeny
are you?" Fine treatment of his de-
man Oppenheim. And Horace is ask
ing the Democrats to vote for him, and
of these same Democrats he said on
the stump: 81 would rather vote for
a yellow dog than a Democrat" Is this
a fit man to be county attorney? Pass
him up and vote for Herman Open
helm.
And there's Edward G. Rogers-he's
a bird. Eds that magnanimous indi-
vidual who so loved the dear people
that he gave away $4,000 in the mat
ter of issuing naturalization papers fol
nothing
Think you, Ed did this because OF
his love for the people, or rather be-
cause of his deep regard for another
term and a second dash at the county
treasury? Ed is a very chilly boy, and
if you don't think so just talk to him
casually. Some years ago, when he
was flush, he jumped st. Paul for Chi
cago where he went broke. He Their
returned to his first love to recuperate
his fallen fortunes with the aid of jim
King and a few other Democrats We
notice that Ed did not give up his nice
little graft on the personal tax entries
as a proof of his devotion to the dear
people, AS a matter of fact, r. T
O'Connor made out more papers, nat
uralization and pension, than Ed ever
dreamed of, and he never rushed into
the papers to tell about it either. Eds
office is a den of small politicians, who
can be found in every convention at
tending to politics instead of to the
peoples business. Who ever saw Dicl
O'Connor's office boys chasing around
conventions? Yet O'Copnor was revil-
ed, while Rogers is held up as a good
fellow who should be elected by accla-
