GETS HOT FOR EUSTIS
TO MAKE SOME EXPLAIN
ATOMS
CANNOT IGNORE CHARGES
1iticaI Talk of the State-His As
sOciatiOns With Thomas Lowry,
President of the 500, Suggestive
house Commission.

The Republican state executive COM
mittee is said to hardly know which
defense Of it's candidate to take up
hrst. so many things to torment and
discourage having come to light for
Candidate Eustis. The first policy was
to ignore charges, and this was fol-
lowed until the matters began to be
brought to attention by members of
their own party. Then 1t was realized
that silence would not do, and 1t Is
said that the charges will now be given
attention, but which to take up is the
question.
Eustis and his fawning subserviency
to Lowry, his business associate, and
other corporate interests are the
ugliest to meet because they involve
actual official action, taken when
mayor of Minneapolis. 1t is the actual
extracts from his celebrated veto mes
sage, vetoing the transfer ordinance,
which are hardest to handle. The OPP
position in the state have simply need
ed to circulate literal extracts from
that veto to make good their charge
that Eustis would be the obsequious
servant of MI. Lowry if elected COVER
nor. 1t is said to be the truth that
the corporations do not take any stock
III Eustis, but there are his declara-
tfCns all the same, and they are rising
up like real Banquo ghosts all through
the state. For did he not say that in
dealing with corporations, the street
railway being the case in point, we
should ASK as faVOrS" what we want?
And this was his actual further Ian
guage: THE railway company should
be consulted on all these things?" APP
pIlcable to rates, and especially to the
appointment Of state railway commits
~ tel
the approval or veto of the governor,
this becomes most serious matter,
and presents the whole case before the
people at this time, in the state issues
Of the Stevenson rate case, the iron
range litigation, and the Anderson tax
law.
How best to meet this situation is
the dilemma of the Republican man
ayers. 1t is said that Candidate Eustis
contemplates an effort to meet some of
these matters himself, in his fOrthcOm-
Ing opening Of the campaign at st.
Paul. But opinion is divided as to the
wisdom of the attempt, some claiming
that it will be futile to convince the
people, and some saying that if Eustis
commences answering charges he will
have nothing else to do during the
campaign.
John H. Leonard, night editor of the
CnlcagO chronicle, is resting in the
Twin Cities for a few days, and has
been spending part of a vacation in
Wisconsin. He said that the politicians
OF the Badger state declare that they
are going to carry the state for the
Democrats this year Mr.. Leonard
thinks from observation that there is
probability that their claim is we'll
grounded.
A second edition of the Eustis button
has appeared, and it bears a single
star, where there was formerly only
the blue field over and below the red
center band. This change is supposed
to be on account of the patriotic char
acter of the Lind badge, with it's SYM
bois of the Cuban war The Eustis
star is symbolic of the Cuban war
which he did not serve in, or else is the
forlorn, single star of distant hope,

sick" They were made in New Jersey.
A sad incident of the campaign is
the death of COmrade NJ. c. Poster. of

and made a record of which any man
might be proud. Because of his faith

ways ran far ahead of his ticket.
