Kentucky Court Turns the
Democratic Attorney
General Out.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 2O.-eThe court of
appeals to-day reversed the judgment of
the Franklin circuit court, which sus-
tanned the decision of the state contest
board in giving the Office Of attorney gen
eral to Judge Robert J. Breckenridge, and
holds that Clifton ]. Pratt, the repubIi-
can nominee, is the legal officer
The decision Of the court is final and
directs that Breckenridge retire imme-
diately from office. Breckenridge was on
the democratic ticket headed by William
Goebel for governor two years ago, and
Pratt was on the republican ticket headed
by W. s. Taylor for governor that year.
Justice Gufy delivered the opinion of
the court and Judges Burnard, Dureele
and O'Rear, republicans, concurred with
Guffy. Judges Hobson, Paynter and
White, democrats, dissented from this de-
cision.
Judge Breckenridge has said recently
that If removed he would become a can
didate for the democratic nomination for
governor two years hence. He is a broth

RALLY1NG 'RoUND VAN SAINT

MfnnesOtans in Washington Say He
Has Gained Strength
Fssnt 7T:s Jewrn@t Bure~u. EOSns -. PsoS
S1Ettct1sg, WGsktS7set0Ss.
Washington, Nov. -Minnesotans in
Washington are to-day revising their yes
terday's estimate of the significance and
possible results of Governor Van SAINTS
hostile attitude toward the Northern Sc
cur1t1es company. The disposition yes
terday was to feel that the governor was
playing to the galleries and would not
approach the subject in way to command
PUBIC confidence. Todays dispatches
from the northwest, however, seem to
show that the governor means business.
Without an exception it is held here
that Van SAINT will next year be elected
by the largest majority ever given a gov
ernor IN the states history, provided he
can make any substantial headway in his
fight
1t is master stroke politically. This
can be true without assuming that the
governor has had politics in mind.
Several well known Minnesotans in this
city, who have been actively anti-Van
SAINT, tell me to-day that If the governor
can do anything to interfere with the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific con-
sol1datlon, he will be reelected by so 900
majority and perhaps by $4,000. These
men 1ndorse the governors course but
frankly say they did not look for such a
move on his part, so it will be seen that
the politicians are following the govern
or's policy with great interest. The char
acter OF the next campaign in Minnesota
will probably be determined by the events
of the next few weeks.

LYING LOW
Northern Securities Co. Will
Not Announce Terms of
Stock Exchange.

New York, Nov. 20.-The Evening Post
says: In view of the threatened legisla-
tive hostility. to the formation of the
Northern Securities company, statement
made to-day by one of the officers that
no formal announcement of the terms of
stock exchanges will be made, has special
interest.
One of the company's officers, answering
question to-day as to when a formal
statement will be made of the terms un-
der which the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern shares will be turned over,
said:
l hardly think the public need expect any
official statement on this point. There is no
necessity for it. Official announcement has
been made of the retirement of Northern Pa
cifc preferred shares at par because in this
stock there is large outstanding public in
terest. In the case of the Great Northern
preferred and Northern Pacific common
shares can reach the holders directly
without any difficulty and this we are doing
For this reason 1 do not expect that any
statement which can properly be termed Off
cial will be made in connection with the
transfer of these shares to the Northern
Securities company.
