Attic conclusion OF his speech, a wo-

Sam Van SAINT and my husband,
who is now dead, were old friends forr
some years. They were both old so5l,
dieTs, land after the war a strong
friendship grew up between them.
They were, associated together In bust
ness, as well as social and fraternal
ways. Years ago Van SAINT and my
husband Joined an A. P. A. lodge in
Iowa, as charter members. Then they
were partners in the steamboat busi-
ness aid my husband died during the
existence Of this partnership With

taken to Duluth where she gives it ]

to make - as dramatic as possible and |
this, too. pn the eve of election, in the

Notice, also. the adroitness with
which it is made to appear that Capt.
Van SAINT is an "A. P. A." But this,
In fact, proves the falsity OF the entire |
