Senator Clapp's Support Of
G. c. Haupt Not Consid-
cred Wise Move
WEAKENED HIS FORCES
Ramsey County Friends Are sore
and Hennepin County Is Sure
to Go Against
Him.

Political dicussion during the past few
days has been largely on the appoint
ment of Charles c. Haupt, of Fergus
Falls, as United States district attorney
for Minnesota, and its effect upon the
political fortunes of Senator Moses Il.
Clapp. The general expression of senti-
ment of all sides is to the effect that
the appointment has done Mr. Clapp no
practical good, that in it he overlooked
splendid opportunity to help himself
politically. This does not mean that any
one finds fault with the appointment of
Mr.. Haupt in itself. 1t is admitted on all
sides that he is eminently qualified for
the position and will fill it with honor
and credit. But unfortunately in politics
it is not always a mans fitness that
counts.
The death of Robert G. Evans precipf-
tated a fierce scramble for the position
his death left vacant
would have settled the matter without
any friction, that of Senator E. A. Young,
but he would not take it. One thing
Eeemed to be generally conceded, and that
vas that Minneapolis should not secure
he position. Minneapolis Republicans
we're almost willing to concede this, but
bn the other hand insisted that it should
not go to st. Paul. The First district was
hard after the place with two strong
candidates. and the Seventh also made
claims in behalf of Messrs. Haupt and
Gunderson. The matter was temporarily
disposed of by the appointment of Mr..
Purdy, which occasioned no dissatisfac-
ton Then the fight went on gradually
and came down to Hennepin and Ramsey
counties. Hennepin had candidates in the

person of Messrs. Nye, Steele and Purdy,
and Ramsey county quietly arranged for
the appointment of Senator Sheehan.
Haupt Was a Compromise.
Senator Clapp was anxious to appoint
Hennepin county man, because he was
somewhat persona non grata to the poll
ticians of that county and thought 1t
might help matters to throw the attor-
neyship there. But Ramsey county felt
that it had claims more logical than Hen
nepin county had. Senator Clapp had to
acknowledge that Ramsey county really
had first claim on his good offices, but
then he did not like to offend Hennepin
county. He sought to avoid the choice
by standing for his friend Haupt, of Fer
gus Falls.
To begin with Hennepin county is dis
appointed, but Hennepin county, as a
matter of fact, would never have been
overly friendly to Clapp, appointment or
no appointment. So his appointment so
far as Hennepin county is concerned, did
not affect him one way or the other. But
the appointment of Haupt did not help
him at all in Haupt's district, for that
is Clapp's stronghold, always has been
and always will be- So the appointment,
as far as these two districts are concern
ed, is without political effect. But Ram
SSy county naturally I6SlS sore, ana IL
from political standpoint it was essen
tial that Clapp maintain his hold on Ram
Sey county. In the fight sure to be made.
on Clapp when he comes up for re-eiec-
ton, he cannot count on Hennepin
county. That county is sure to be against
him, and the Third district, HeatwoIe's
possession. will also be against him. He
will have the Seventh district as he al
ways had. Ramsey county, being now.
his home county, should be behind him
unanimously to make his candidacy ap-
pear logical. The appointment of Ram
sey county man would have given him
the backing that is most essential. AS
it u.s. he has left his home county to
Hiram F. Stevens, if that gentleman as
pires to succeed Clapp, or to any other
aspirant who is acceptable to Ramsey
county Republicans.
Speaking of the well-known fact that
an organized fight is being planned
against Senator Clapp, a well-known
state official said yesterday: Senator
Clapp does not begin to be as strong as
he was when elected. He has done moth
ing to even maintain his natural
strength. His course thus far at Wash
ington has been a puzzle to his friends
His apparent Indifference to his own poll
teal future has given currency to the
rumOr that he does not intend to again
run for the senatorship. If this IS true
then his appointment of Haupt is ex-
planned. But if he has ambitions to sue
coed himself he must get busy in hurry
to counterfeit a sentiment that is rapidly
developing, that he cannot be reelected
His Indifference is giving his friends no
little uneaSineSS.

ITn affair in Politics
BY D. A. CHAUNCEY

Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co.
In a room in the leading hotel at
the state capital two men sat facing
each other across a table. On the table
were a bottle of bourbon, a pitcher of
water, whisky glasses and a box of eli
gars. The men were types. One was
long, lanky, g-boned, with smooth side
face and long chin whiskers, a massive
head, eyes that bespoke great strength
and unusual cunning, and features that
Indicated a dominant MANN fact, the
successful politician of the middle West.
The other, small in stature, plump almost
to fairness, bald of head, quick of eye,
euave of manner, ready of speech but
exceedingly discreet in his choice of
words, armed with an air of comrade-
ship and gOod-fellowingship, which was
difficult to resist even by those who
disapprOved of him and disliked him,
well grOomed, dressed with irreproac cha
bic taste-the professional lobbyist.
We'll, Hepburn, can we make it?"
said the latter
1T is the nastiest jub we have ever
tackled, replied the politician, slowly
pouring out a drink of whisky and hold
ing it between his eye and the light,
but 1 think it can be done. We have the
boys in hand this session, and while
some of them would squeal like stuck
pigs if asked to vote for that bill with
the feeling against it so strong / guess
all but two or three could be forced into
line With the other fellows you say you
have got I guess that would pass it. The
Lord only knows what the governor
would do
TN look out for that" replied the
other We'll JIM what is the price.
I know we have got to come down hand
sOmely but don't make it prohibitive."
We'll" replied the politician, setting
down the whisky untasted, and fixing
his eyes on the lobbyist, "some of the
boys will have their bit. You can figure
that as well as I, but the main item
will be my election to the United States
senate.
The lobbyist, despite his great self
control started visibly and whistled. 81
dldn't know you had that bee, Jim he
said. ''Why, the election is oaly three
weeks off, and nearly everybody is pledg-
ed
Nobody has anywhere near a major

will be deadlock. When it breaks

that means. 1 need about ten more.
That's what you've got to do to get your
bill through. I don't care what it costs
YOU nor how you do it, After l am nom

bill goes through
Both men sat silent for a long tim a
AT last the lobbyist said:
"All right, Jim, I'll try it. What in the
devil do you want to go to the United

NEW YORK, April 27.-Conditions are
favorable to an active stock market for
some time to come. The most important
restraint upon speculation-a scarcity of
money-is being gradually removed; and
the various cliques and operators VINO
have been waiting months for favorable
opportunities are now doing their utmost
to broaden and strengthen the market
So far their efforts have met with nota-
BILE success and sufficient encouragement
has been forthcoming to warrant the ex-
pectation that those who lead the pres
ent movement will not surrender their
advantage until they have carried it as
far as safety permits.
1t is evidently the conviction of present
leaders that easy money prospects, COM
blned with continuance of railroad
prosperity (Which is assured by the &C
tivity of general business and the spread
of the community-of interest idea) is
Sunlclent basis for new upward move
ment. In such plans they undoubtedly
have the cordial support of big banl a.
interests, who in turn have double IN

first, TO facilitate the promotion of i'm
portant deals which they have in con-
temptation, and, second to assist them

These are very powerful motives for
stimulating activity; and now that the

LADY LENNOX'S NIECE
SUES HER FOR LIBEL
Aunt Calls Miss NeaIe Names That
Reflect Upon Her Character AMI
Must Answer for 1t.

LONDON, April 27.-Society people are
wondering just what it was that Lady
Henry Gordon Lennox, who has returned
from visit to the United States with
MT. Morgan's party, called her niece,
Miss Dora Beatrice Neale, that has
caused the latter to bring suit for libel
The suit was fled two months ago and
the allegations are of such a character
that the lord chief justice urged the par
ties to submit it 20 arbitration and settle
it privately, so alto avoid the scandal Of
a public trial.
After months of legal sparring that
course has been adopted, so probably So
ciety will never learn what Lady Henry
Gordon Lennox called Miss Nea1e That
it was a reflection ON Miss Neale's char
acter was disclosed in court, but details
of the libel itself were not furnished.
Lady Henry Gordon Lennox was re-
markable beauty in early youth and re-
tains much of her good looks in ma
turity. She was one of the most notable
hostesses in London and is privileged to
entertain royalty in her mansion in
Princes Gate, one of the show places Of
London.

An interesting letter was recently re-
ceived by F. A. Miller, general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
hunter in the Orange Free State. South
Africa, who has just returned to that
place after a two years tour of the
world. He says he covered over thirty
that the ride Of 40 miles from st. Paul
to Chicago on the Pioneer Limited in
July, 1901, was by far the most enjoyable
part of the trip. He also states emphat-
fcally that nowhere in the world can
train service be found to compare with
that in the United States and particu-
larly that of the Milwaukee road

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 27-Fred-
eric Emory, chief of the bureau of for

other extract from the volume entitled,
Commercial Relations of the Unite
States during 1901 which is now in
press. The extract given out today deals
with the trade of the United States with
South America last year

steady and ever increasing market i'll
Brazil, in spite of deep-seated prejudices
and the antagonism of competitors. Our
export trade to Brazil however, never
will reach its proper development so long
as our merchandise has to seek foreign
bottoms. American hardware also has
earned a reputation for quality and finish
which places it beyond competition. Our
typewriters, sewing machines clocks,
watches and electric goods hold their own
everywhere and we are gaining a foothold
in bicycles, locks, firearms, cutlery and
picture frames.
Progressive BraZiIians.
Brazil recognizes the value of an ed
ucation in the United States and many
young Brazilians are coming to this coun-
try. to complete their careers of learning.
English is being taught in some of the
higher schools of Brazil and many young
men go to the United States to study
engineering, electricity, law, medicine and
dentistry.
In the Argentine Republic the American
goods making the greatest Roadway are
tools and implements, cottons, hats, shoeS

Gently reported that for the half year
ended June 80, 1901, the increase of trans
action between his house and the United
States has been 131 per cent and other
banks had similar experience. But while
we are materially increasing the aggre-
gate of our trade with Argentina, here
also the absence of direct steamship COM

LAUNDERING is the chief industry in the
southern provinces of Chile and practi-
cally all of the wood is cut by mills Of
American construction. All of the ma

account of the political disturbances in
Colombia imports from the United States
have increased only slightly. The imports
from all other countries have remained

stated "but an Isthmian canal alone can

make the effort it IS stated, goods
that in quality and economy will conquer

/ United States. Since then a large
number of new plants have started but
the iron and steel trusts have increas-
their output and the percentage of
trust-made goods is no doubt larger
than in 1900; but still very large pro-
portion of the iron and steel used in
this country is being manufactured
by corporations and firms that are en-
tirely outside of the trust To take
the duty eff these products would
strike all of the manufacturers alike
and the trusts would suffer less than
their competing rivals
TO reduce any unnecessary duty on
iron and steel manufacturers would
be in harmony with the republican
policy
But to smite all workers in iron
and steel alike in the effort to iniure
the trusts would not accomplish the
purposes in view.
The Work of Republicans in Congress.
The republican party in congress

work, but has legislated upon the af-
fairs of this country in road and
comprehensive spirit The rural free
delivery has grown up under republic
can management, and is giving univer-
sal satisfaction to people of all parties.
A republican congress has provided
the country with powerful navy to
defend its coast and preserve its peace
upon the sea, making the Monroe doc
trine a living and potential influence
in the affairs of the world Our party
has legislated in the interest of the
manufacturer on the one hand. of the
laborer and the farmer on the other.
Well employed and we'll paid labor
gives a good market to the farmer and

land. The customers of the merchants
under republican policy have quicken

tide of prosperity that now prevails,
with business active, money abundant,
labor employed and progress on every
hand, We ought to hear our political
opponents rejoice at these conditions.
But on the contrary the only cry we
hear is Halt
The experience of our people with
the free trade and free silver party has
been too recent and too bitter for them
to turn their backs upon the party
