The democrats in the fifteenth legis-

T., The mystery of that spurious Van SAINT

was not faxed by the Record Herald, by
the St. Paul Globe, or by the Record
| Herald's correspondent. It was a mes
senger boys mistake. The Record-Her-
| aids, st. Paul correspondent got instruc-
lions to interview the governor. and wrote
out an interview which he thought the
governor might stand for He started
| to find the governor, but learned he was
out Of town. The correspondent wrote a
| brief message to that effect, laid it on his
desk, and called a messenger boy. He
| then left, and the boy when he came in
| picked up the interview, which was wired
| and published as authentic. The CORE
| spondent later discovered the mistake,
/ and owned to it, and everybody is happy,
except the democratic state committee.
They were going to have joyful time
picturing Van SAINT as the coal paron's
| friend, and the governors denial of the
interview came as a rude and cruel shock.
Douglas county democrats have drafted

Governor Van SAINT and Congressman
stevens will address two meetings In st.
Paul Monday evening. One will be in the
first ward at 913 Payne avenue. There is

lican. but mainly Swedish republicans,

wears ago. The democrats claim to have
