ARE SOLID FOR VAN
Fletcher Says Minnesota Delegation,
Save Heatwole, Favors Him. :.
NO FEAR OF PETERSON OR HAY.
Congressman Is Confident That He
s.: Will Be. Nominated for
Another Term.

Tams Bixby's attitude toward the Van
SAINT administration in no way reflects
the sentiments Of any member of the Min
nesota. congressional delegation other
than Mr.. Heatwole, declares Loren
Fletcher. He says that he himself is
ton OF Governor Van SAINT and says he
has reason to believe. that every other
member of the delegation, with the single
exception above noted, feels the same.
In Mr.. Fletcher's opinion, Mr.. Bibxy's
resignation as "a member of the Dawes
commission is due IN part to differences
with Secretary Hitchcock, but more to a
desire to get. out of the work and get
back TO his family and personal affairs
in Minnesota. u q
Mr.. Fletcher is a. very busy man these
days. He is making his headquarters in
Postmaster LovejOy's outer Office at the
Federal building, and. his friends from
city ard county are focking in upon him
fast, giving assurances of their continued
fealty and asking for directions for work
in his interest. @
Mr.. Fletcher processes not to be in the
least put out 10y the new turn in the
congressional situation made by the en-
trance of Eugene Hay into the field. He
says he has not attached enough i'm
portance to the matter, as yet. to. try to
figure out what will be the effect of Mr.
Hays. candidacy. s. But he assures his
friends that they need have no apprehen-
sion regarding the result.
Neither Mr.. Hay nor Mr.. Peterson will
be the mex. congressman from this dis
trict, he insists, which, of course. IS only
another way of saying that he has su-
preme confidence in his ability to land
another term for himself. Mr.. Fletcher
filed his nomination papers with the
county auditor this morning.

Unreasonable Uttera noes"

Gen. Funston is growing exceedingly
ferocious. Not satisfied with wading
through Filipino gore up to his eye
brows, he is now vociferating for
wholesale slaughter of American cti-
zens that have had the tremeriLy to OBJ
iect to the philippine conquest. While
he insists that every American that
publicly rroclaims his belief in the
fundamental principles of the repub-
lie is traitor, he is willing to eoncede
that lit is perfectly proper for us to
have all sorts of opinions as to what we
shall do with the Philippines, but, for
heavens sake, let us keep them to our
selves until every square inch Of that
territory recognizes the sovereignty
of the United States" OF course, we
,should all keep our peace while the
work of benevolent assimilation is pro-
crossing. In the course of the next
century, ID may be possible for an
american citizen to declare that he is
convinced that the Declaration of In

truths, but while it is being suppressed

al for citizens to give encouragement 10

devotion he had been unable to get
down on his knees in prayer on account
of a stiffness resulting from rheumatism
He also said the priest insisted on this
and when he demonstrated the holy
father used violence on him. The dis

FOURTH intended to accept your
challenge for public debate upon this
matter, although other fully as import
ant issues are at stake, but after exam
lining the records find. that | am abso-
lutely unable in the time, between now
and election day, to get at all the nee
ly impossible for an outsider to inform
himself sufficiently in the limited time
given to meet one who is familiar with
the ms and outs by reason of
years experience in the mayors
chair. There will be tald meet
ings under the auspices of the
republican party, and there you
will be at liberty to make any explana
tons you may desire upon the ques
tons at issue. If you can furnish any
evidence of the statement made by you
that the city is now in better financial con-
dition than it was year ago l am sure
that |, in common with all other citi-
zens and tax payers of this city, will be
gratitied to know that such is the fact,
and that is substantially the only asser
ton inade by you in your challenge.
If you had lied an itemized statement
of the city's business as was done by
your republican predecessor the ques
ton could have been easily settled. If
you can furnish the proof of it, there
will be no room for debate upon that
proposition. / have no attack to make
upon your administration, excepting
that think ! have the same right as
any other tax payer TO know the exact
condition of the city's business But
now one can only learn that By reason Of
Juggling, carelessness or incompeteacy of Of
.fciais, the financial condition of the city as Il
noW stands cannot be dscertdined, except
by the aid of an expert.
As to your challenge to debate the is
sues this spring, do not see the neces-
essity for it. have never thought joint
debates of any great advantage in po-
litieal campaigns. do not care, how
ever, to have you or others think that !
fear to enter such contest, or that the
republican position is not sound. This,
however, is not personal question be-
tween us. If the committee of both |
parties desire to arrange joint debate,
and the republican committee sees fit
to ask me to represent that party, | GER
tainly shall perform that duty to the
best of my ability.

THE republicans could not have
selected better man from their ranks
than W. b. Scholfeld to head their
ticket. As citizen he is honored for
his good qualities of head and heart,
and his record as a public officer is
without a blot, and the democrats have
none but good words for him. The
same can be said of the Hon. Louis
Mafchetti, and it can also be said of
him that his profound knowledge of
public affairs has made him model
Mayor, and valuable man to have nj
the head of our city government. He
has looked after the interests of the
city the past year in a Jealous manner,
and has shirked nothing which he
deemed to be his duty, The Judge is

and he will not only be supported by

feel that his excellent administration

why he refused passports 10 Rev.
Thomas and wife, of Chicago. to go to

raised in Illinois for relief OF the Boer
women and children in Kitehener's re-
concentrate camps, he will give the
passports, which he had refused to give,
provided the patrons Of the fand prefer
sending the Rev. Thomas sud wife to
attend TO the matter. But he suggests
that il would be cheaper To send the
funds TO the American eonsuls. We
hope Rev. Thomas and wife will go.
