Coming West to Look After Irrigation
Scheme if Democrats Lose.
big Bill'' Devery not only will quit
politics permanently this fall If the
Democrats meet defeat, but will leave
the city and live in the West. He has
told this plan to some close friends,
who were surprised at the announce
ment.
With Republican success in No
vember will come promptly the resig-
nation of Devery as Tamnlany leader
of the Ninth assembly district, which
was obtained after a long siege of
campaigning, attended by many Sleep
less night and the expenditure of more
than $4,000. Devery will go West to
look after some of his mining interests
and will devote his entire attention to
an irrigation scheme in which he has
invested. He says that there will be
"a barrel of money" in this enterprise.
Devery says he has no desire to hold
public office, but admits he would like
to be a power behind the throne, which
he fondly expects to be If Coler is
elected governor, for big Bin' was

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

1t is significant that Gov. Van SAINT
and his campaign committee have
never a word to say Of that important
factor in every state administration
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission.
They ask the Democrats to make an
issue of the dairy and food commits
sion, of the game and fish commission,
of the insurance commission, and 9TH
er departments that involve nothing
but department routine. and issue the
brave challenge to make these depart
ments an issue. But as regards the
railroad commission, which is of great.
er Importance and power than all the
rest combined, department that deals
with issues Of vital import to the
states welfare and development, Gov.
Van SAINT and his committee have
nothing to say. They completely fg-
more and forget that department and
the issues connected with it.
The only reference to the railroad
commission that the Republican press
committee appears to have made was
in an editorial leader in the home
newspaper of the chairman, several
months since. That reference was thus
complimentary:
Railroad commission? What evil
dence have you that we have one?"
Under the Lind administration the
railroad and warehouse commission
made a record which has become an
important factor in state history. For
the first and only time In the history
Of that department the railroad COM
mission Of the last Democratic admin
tstration asserted the power of the
state by taking the initiative in reduc-
ing rates.
Under every Republican admfnistra-
ton without exception, the rate reduc-
tions have been only on complaint of
some shipper when the board was
compelled to act
Under the last Democratic adminis-
tration the railroad commission took
initiative action and reduced grain rates
on the crop of twenty-five western
grain producing counties in the aggre-
gate 100000 sum equal to the total
county taxes of those counties for run
ming county government. That Demo-
cratic board likewise made progress in
giving the state anew merchandise tar
if in extending TO the smaller cities the
same terminal tariff advantages enjoy
The Saint Paul globe., 1902-10-31

ed by the Twin Cities and Duluth, and
in ASSERTING the power of the state in
the matter of reducing ore rates.
Why does not Gov. Van SAINT review
the railroad reforms of the commits
sion under Republican administration? :?
Why is he silent?
During his administration, Repub-
lican newspaper, the Minneapolis
Journal, charged and demonstrated in
a three column statistical review, that
the discrimination in rates by Chicago
roads against Minneapolis alone
amounted tosthe vast sum of s4,eee,oo0
per annJm on the freight business of
it's citizens. In other words, the Jour-
nal charges that the freight discrim-
ination levied against Minneapolis in
the interest of Chicago competitors
amounts to 81 100000 a year more than
all the taxes levied in that city for
state, county and city government.
Here certainly was the opportunity
of the governor and the Republican
railroad commission to take up the in
terest of Minnesota against Chicago
discrimination. Was anything done?
Did the governor make a demand upon
the railroad commission or the attor-
ney general? There was not a peep.
The Democrats have nominated for
the position of railroad commissioner
Maj. j. M. Bowler-for thirty years a
hard working and successful farmer,
now a prosperous business man, a pa
triotic man of courage who won his
title by bravery on the battle field, a
gentleman who thoroughly under
stands the needs of the producers and
shippers of the state, and likewise
knows the power of the state to regu-
late rates; above all, a man who in the
chair of railroad commissioner would
see to it that every remedy in the
states lawful power is exercised before
any surrender to, rate discrimination.
The producers and shippers of Min
nesota have an opportunity in this
connection to elect to the railroad COM
mission a. member who has the courage
and ability to make a fight for their
interests. Can they afford to let this
chance slip? With strong and eour-
ageous Democrat on the commission,
even though he is in the minority, the
public will get a full hearing on every
proposition that affects the vital well
fare Of the common shipper. Every
farmer and small shipper in particu-
lar, whatever his party, should cast a
vote for Bowler.

PROJECT COUNTY FUNDS.

There is at present only one Demo-
cratic member of the board of county
commissioners. He is there by the ac-
ton of the Democratic majority of the
council. He takes the place Of a Re-
publican rascal named Whitehorne who
stole himself, and helped others to steal,
as much as he could through that of
flee and through the county auditors
office. Everybody knows that Demo-
cratic member of the board Of county
commissioners, and everybody respects
him.
Kelly are elected to the board of coun-
ty commissioners this year there will
be an end of robbery and negligence in
the management of county affairs. If
such a majority should be chosen, and
they were backed up by such a man as
NJ F. Kahn in the county auditors Of
fee, the county funds would be as safe,
with Peter j. Metzdorf in the office of
county treasurer, as are the funds of
the city at the present hour in the con-
troll of Louis Betz and Otto Bremen,
with Robert A. Smith in the mayors
chair
The issue here is too important to
this people to be treated lightly. We
want decent board of county commits
sioners. That body is the legislative
and the executive department, both, Of
county affairs. No fraud is possible as
long as the majority of its members are
not parties to it either by ignorance,
silence or collusion.
cratic ticket for county commissioner
that is not as honest, as straight-for-
ward and as courageous a man in of
flee as either Robert A. Smith or Daniel
Kelly has ever shown himself to be.
These two men cannot protect the peo-
pie against a hostile majority.
The only safety for the funds of the
county against all possible raids during
the years 1903 and 1904 is to elect a
majority at least of the board of coun-
ty commissioners from among the
Democratic candidates, re-elect County
Treasurer Metzdorf, re-elect County
Attorney Kane, and put In as Billy
Johnson's successor the best county
auditor that Ramsey county ever had

DESPERATE REPUBLICAN TAG
TICS.

Attention of Minnesota voters at
this time is called to facts which
threaten the integrity of a free and
fair ballot.
Democratic mail has been held up
and is at this hour being kept from
voters who ought to know the facts on
which they are to determine their ball
lots.
Here is a fagrant example:
A letter sent by Judge Buck, chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee, to John Lind, in Minneap-
oils, and mailed at st. Paul on Sept.
27. was not received by Mr.. Lind in
Minneapolis until Oct. 29-thirty-two
days in making ten miles!
Within the past. three days vast sums
of money have been sent from the St.
Paul headquarters of the Republican
organization into every county of the
state to control the returns on Nov. A.
from $3.50 to $1,000 per county-an ag-
gregate sum of $4,000 to 100000.
Every protected merger and trust
and corporation enjoying special priv
ileges under Republican administration
in this state has contributed to this
corruption fund.
Within a few days the subsidized
press of this administration machine
will flare with front page roorbacks,
telling how the state will go to the
dogs if a man of backbone and a tick
ct not tied to the trusts is elected.
Let voters be on their guard.
Vigilance is now the price of political
independence and freedom. as it is the
necessity, if the people win the victory
at the polls.

A DISHONEST CRY.

It is doubtful whether more thor
oughly dishonest cry was ever raised
to protect the party in power than that
on which the Republicans are now re-
/ lying to save themselves from defeat.
! They are telling the country that it is
necessary to sustain the president, and,
therefore, to vote for a Republican can
didate for congress wherever he ap-
pears.
There are three facts which force
themselves on the attention in connec-
ton with the new plan of the Repub-
lican politicians to seek shelter behind
the passing popularity of President
Roosevelt.
.First-Even the pro-protectionist press
are crying out that President Roosevelt
should be sustained in his determined
purpose toTevise the tariff by the election
of a Republican majority in the lower
house.
Second-Even the Boxer" congress
men, who fought the president of their
own party to finish on Cuban reeiproc-
ity are heard on the stump urging their
own election on the ground that the pres
ident must be sustained
Third-The settlement of the coal
strike is accepted by the entire army of
trust jannizaries as so enhancing the pop
ularity of the president, and they see
their best chance OF crawling back into
office from behind the shelter OF that as
Ssumed popularity.
If a Democratic majority is sent to
the next house of representatives an
impetus will thereby be given to the
movement for tariff reform and for the
regulation and control Of the trusts by
congress, such as can be produced in
no other way. If, on the other hand,
Republican majority is sent back, it is
inevitable that the administration poll
ticians will regard themselves as being
indorsed, and that the movement to-
ward trust-tariff reform will come to
an abrupt end.
1t may be truly said from the party
standpoint that it might be as we'll for
the opposition if the present congress
sional elections resulted in favor of the
administration, since the Republican
politicians who hold retainers from the
trusts would then be more likely to
urge on the measures which must inev-
itably create a revulsion of popular
feeling. But it is not allowed to any
public newspaper, however strong its
partisan associations and convictions
, may be- to urge such a view. Those
which are advancing the corresponding
proposition, of sustainment of the
president SO that he may do what they
. are devoutly praying may not be done,
are unworthy Of the public functions
they discharge.
The dishonesty and fraud thus sought
to be practiced on public opinion will
not work It is shamelessly palpabIe.
When a paper like the Minneapolis
Tribune asks that Loren Fletcher be
returned to congress because the presi-
dent must be sustained in his assumed
evident desire to advance reciprocity
and tariff reform, or when any other
protectionist sheet asks the return of
any other member of the present Min
nesota delegation on that ground. it is
committing a crime against public en-
Iightenment and its own intelligence,
in view Of the record of opposition to,
Roosevelt and reciprocity which the
delegation has made.

viii Go to Supreme Court.

Indications point to a determined
struggle between Western trainmen
and the commission, and it is stated
that if the commission reafhrms it's
former ruling regarding rates on the
raw material, the matter will be taken
to the supreme court for decision.
In 1896 the commission ruled that
the rates ON the raw material should
not be higher than rates on the finish
ed product. This ruling is being vio-
lated with respect to cattle from Mis-
souri, river points to Chicago. The
rate is % cents, while the rate on
dressed meats and packing house
products is 20 cents. Trouble was
started by the Great Western, which
reduced rates on packing house prod
ucts from Missouri river points to 1Sk
cents and 20 cents, but permitted cat
tie rates to remain undisturbed.
