Hennepin Republicans Secure Spa
cious Rooms on Fourth Street
Next to The Journal.

Fine campaign headquarters have been
secured by the Hennepin executive repub-
lican committee at As Fourth street S, ad-
joining the Journal building. There is
sufficient space for all purposes. There
are several rooms for the use of the secre-
tary and the clerks, where they can work
without interruption from callers.
Then there Is a big room which will &C
commodate $50 or more for the use of the
precinct chairmen and large committees.
No one can be mistaken as to the loca-
ton of these headquarters, for the signs
advertise the fact in the most asserttve
manner and in flaring letters four feet
high.
The most active and aggressive cam
paign in the history of the party has be-
gun and Chairman Matchan says that
every member of the campaign, ward and
precinct committees goes into the fight
with the determination of electing the
whole republican ticket. They talk con-
fidently of electing John F. Dahl as alder
man for the Sixth ward and expect to LAND
something in the thirty eighth Legislative
district, which has hitherto been solidly
democratic. 49,.

THEY WANT WALKS
Lake Harriet Residents Will Form an Inn
provement Association to Secure
What They Want.

The first meeting Of the Park Boulevard
Improvement association will be held this
evening at Lake Harriet. The organiza-
ton is unique in that the district involved
Is not under the city councils jurisdiction.
The park board looks after the sidewalks,
tree-planting and all other things that
pertain to municipal affairs. 1t was when
the park commissioners began to let down
on the taxes that they also began to be
somewhat less strenuous in improvements
But it is the sidewalks or rather lack
Of sidewalks which is the nucleus from
which the idea of an improvement asso-
citation grew
O. F. Stafford and Mr.. Gage, the pro-
moters of the association, were out can
vassing last night and the idea is being
taken up enthusiastically. 1t is expected
that fully forty will attend the meeting
tonight and that the members will mum.
Der a hundred before many more meetings
are held. -:.'.
Broken stone is the material which the
park residents think of utilizing for the
new walks.

DRAWING IT FINE
DR.. Hall Willing to Split Hairs With
Secretary Bracken Over Dairy J.
Inspections.
The Matter Now Rests on the Diff
ference Between an "A" and
r. = T. a.- a "The."

Attorney General Douglas Is inclined to
sustain Secretary H. M. Bracken Of the
state board Of health, In his dispute with
Health Commissioner Hall of Minneap-
oils, over the infected cattle in the diaries
of the town of Mounds View. In an opin-
ion prepared for the benefit of Governor
Van SAINT, the attorney general quotes the
law to provide that cattle suspected OF
tuberculosis can be killed only after two
tuberculin tests made by agents Of the
state board of health or of the local
board.
This might appear to settle the contro-
versy in favor Of the state board, II 1T
were not for the fact that the law has
been misquoted and a very small error has
crept in. The exact wording Of the law
on this point is "a" local board and not
the local board. City Attorney Healy
is inclined to the belief that this little
word "a gives the health department of
Minneapolis the right to make the In
spection in the Mounds View dairy, herds
and that the results of the tests shall de-
termine whether the cattle shall be
killed ''-
Health Commissioner Hall says that
three months ago the reports of the In
spection made by the department veterin-
arian were sent to the state board of
health and they ought to be accepted, as
no intimation to the contrary has been re-
ceived by the local department. He is
more certain than ever that the cattle,
fory-eight in number, have been legally
tested and condemned.
At any rate the six diaries in Mounds
View which supply milk to residents OF
Minneapolis will be placed under the ban
and prosecuted if they fail to clear their
herds Of cattle Of tuberculosis. So i'm
pressed are two of the dairymen with DR..
Halls earnestness that they have had
their own condemned cattle killed. In
| time they will demand Of the town OF
Mounds View and the state that they be
| reimbursed for the cattle as provided for
by law. Undoubtedly the others will find
| it to their benefit to follow the advice OF
DR.. Hall If they intend to do business In
Minneapolis.

regret Of the death of George Albert,

Mr.. Croker was % years Of age, was

fitting a bright and cheerful Christian

ceives great sympathy from a large circle

the late primary election. The populists
had but one man upon the primary ticket,
Captain, A. H. Nelson, who ran for con-

from different sections, Captain Nelson
secured only SO votes. In other words, his
average is slightly better than one vote

Three Police Cases to Be Argued Next

Month.
Justices of the supreme court will be

police scandal next month, when the ap-
peals of three former members Of the

convicted of having accepted a bride,
Norman w. King, convicted Of completely
with thieves; and Coffee John" Fitchette,
whom a jury found guilty Of trafficking
in police appointments, will all carry their
cases up.
Judge Simpson has formally denied the
motion for new trial in the King case.
In the memorandum the court calls atten-
ton to the fact that, although defendants
attorney filed an affidavit relating that the
King jurors had used liquor while en-
gagged in the consideration OF. the case, it
was not claimed that any of them had
been under the influence Of drink, or that
the rights IF the defendant had been vio-
