gained the district over Mr.. Towne
by 463-that is, he carried the district
outside of St. Louis county by LAO
over Mr.. Towne, making.a gain over
Mr.. Towne's campaign of 1894 of 1920
in the district outside of ST. Louis
county.
! SIN 1896 Judge Morris, running on
the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley, had a
majority of 10 out of a total vote
cast of 59,915. In 1898 he gets a
! plurality of 1853 over Mr.. Towne out
of 43, 925 votes,
"a plurality of 527 over Mr.. Towhe,
or change of thirty-two- votes, would
have given Judge Morris the same
proportion exactly of the whole vote
of the district cast for Morris and
Towne that he had in 1896. In the
district outside of ST. Louis county
Morris gained 913 over his majority
of two years ago, Notwithstanding the
vote was reduced over one-fourth.
Gin 1894 Towne's majority in the
district, running as Republican, was
3,l76. Nelson, the candidate for
governor, had a majority in the dis
trict of 5,S45 Towne ran behind Nell
son 1859 in his majority. In 1896
Clough, the Republican candidate for
governor, lost the Sixth. district by
l66 and Morris carried it by 7l9, run
ming SS5 ahead of Clough. In 1898 Eus-
tbs lost the district by over 1000 run
ming 4, 500 or more behind Morris. L
have not got Lind's exact vote this
year and so approximate his majority.
Thus it is seen, in short that Towne
in 1894 ran 2, $50 behind the guberna-
torial candidate and lost the dis
trict outside of St. Louis county by
$50. Morris in 1896 ran S85 ahead of
the gubernatorial candidate and
carried the district outside of St. Louis
county by 527. In 1898 he ran over
4, 500 ahead of the gubernatorial can
didate and carried the district outside
of St. Louis county by 1,440. It would
be difficnlt, it seems, to find stronger
proof'of the popularity of Judge Nor
ris outside of ST. Louis county is ia no
sense to be attributed to any unpopu- !
larity but rather to the causes before |

Congressman Morris left Monday |
Tor Washington and will not return |

gress. He says he will not be sur
prised If there is an extra session of I

disappointment to effect their loyalty,
and they Loyalty supported him. Il
was we'll known to the Republican con
gressional committee during the cam
paign that Towne's managers relied
on the loss of votes to Morris arising
out of these appointments to defeat
him. Towne, of course, serving un.
der a Democratic administration, had
been fortunate enough to have no of.
| fees to fill.
SIN Morrison and Crow Wing
counties local conditions cost Morris
votes. In Wright, Sherburne and
Anoka counties the same was true. In
St. Louis county the decreased vote,
owing to the constitutional amend
ment, and complications arising out
of the defeated plan for county di-
vision, together with the attempt on
the part of certain interests of the
county to defeat certain candidates
cost Judge Morris many votes and &C.
counts for the plurality of Towne in
this county, of 977, whichisurprised
even Mr.. Towne's most hopeful fo,-
lowers.
"Mr. Lind was working vigorous
and what proved to be successful cam
payn, and Mr.. Towne everywhere
sought to gain from Mr.. Lind's popu-
larity. Lind and Towne clubs were
formed everywhere. Towne's man.
ayers introduced Mr.. Lind at his meet
ings and everything possible was done
by both to identify their campaigns.
Lind carried the district by over A 1000.
In view of these considerations no.
thing further is needed to show that
Morris has great strength among the
voters of the district.
"In 1894 Towne was the Republican
for congress against Bald
win, Democrat, and Halvorson, Peo-
Piles, ,Towne was elected by majority
of 8, 176 in the district. and carried St.
Louis by majority of 1856. In other
words the vote in the district outside
Of st. Louis county was 7SO against
Mr.. TOwne.
SIN 1896 Judge Morris was elected
on the Republican ticket over Mr..
Towne. who was the fusion candidate,
by q majority in the district OF 719. !
His ma jority in st. Louis county was
l92, and in the district outside OF st.

Judge Norris Vote.

Duluth, Nov. 28-Oscar Mitchell,
chairman of the Republican congress
sional committee, has prepared an an
alysis of the late congressional fight
In the Sixth district. Here is what he
says, and it will doubtless prove in
teresting reading to every voter in the
district that took an interest in the
success of Congressman Morris or
Charles A. TOwne: -.
Gan analysis of the vote in the re-
cent congressional election and COM
parison of the vote of previous cleo
tions show that Judge Morris has
powerful hold on the voters of the
Sixth congressional district. This is
to be attributed to the earnest work he
has done in behalf of the district, and
his unfailing and courteous responses
to every call upon him by any one of
his constituents. No man was too
humble, no matter his nationality,
politics or creed, to have any matter
entrusted to Congressman Morris at
tended to with prOmptness and fidelity.
No interest of the district was too
small or too large or too hard to re-
ceive his loyal assistance in every
manner possible. His standing with
the Minnesota delegation was the
highest, and not one of them but would
have considered it a calamity at this
time to have had him superseded.
"a great deal is said about Towne's
wonderful strength as a campaigner
and his ability as vote G etter, etc.
The fact is that outside of ST. Louis
county Morris has always been
stronger than Towne ever was, and
Morris has gained in strength, while
Towne has lost. In view of all the cir
cumstances it is safe to say that no
man in the district could have been
elected to congress from the Sixth dis
trict in the face of the opposition over
come by Judge Morris.
It should be remembered that the
district has about 800 postoffice of |
which about 24O were filed by Judge
Norris recommendation prior to the
election. The usual amount of OPP
position Was thereby created in 240
places in the district. Some of the
aspirants for Office in
Duluth and other parts Of the district
worked openly and vigorously against
Judge Morris. Others worked secret
y against him, but many, BIZ It said to
heir credit, refused to allow personal

all The cat IS out OF the bag This reprint
exposes Shelley's first steps poet to the gaze
of the multitude. Is not DR.. Garnetts fervent
hope a little foolish? The truth Is that this
whole episode wears rather absurd air. DR..
Garnett writes In good faith Of course, and
almost he persuades US that II was neces-
sary and wise thing to drag these poor lines
from the oblivion in which we can feel quito
sure that Shelley would have wished them 70
remain. But, in the long run, our editor leaves
us unconvinced. He must know that after you
have declared it necessary to have every scrap
OF documentary evidence before you In the
criticism OF poet you discard, II you have any
knowledge of the clements Of criticism, all trash
such as the Original Poetry by Victor and

purposes it might just as we'll not exist we
suppose that If the discOverer OF this missing
book had calmly burned it he would have been
vigorously pillored wicked vandai by
scores of "feryentIy" inclined llterati. Yet we
believe such act would ultimately nave peeh
construed by lovers OF literature in general, as
by lovers Of Shelley in particular as nothing
more nor less than a wise and manly tribute to
the poet deserving OF honor. Further, II hero
ism like this was beyond him, why could he not
have given it to the British Museum, or to some
university library which would have bound
itself in perpetuity to prevent the republication
Of the work?

lief from utter encouragement She

for me.
"Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any Improvement. At times l
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, / felt something
terrible creeping over me, | knew not
what, but kept getting worse. [ can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. / was SO depressed in spirits
that | did not wish to live, although /
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
