WILL FIGHT THE MERGER.
Northwestern Governors and At
tOrneys General Take Action.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 31.-A definite
plan of action to defeat the proposed
consolidation OF the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Burlington railway
systems was today unanimously
agreed upon by the governors and at
torney generals of five northwestern
states in which those roads have mile
age. Legal action will be instituted i'm
mediately in Minnesota courts with this
object in view, and to quote Attorney
General Douglas Of Minnesota, "the
thing will be fought to a finish"
Just how, when or where these suits
will be brought, neither Governor Van
SAINT of Minnesota nor Attorney General
Douglas would state. The conference
adjourned late this afternoon after
adopting resolutions cOndemning the
proposed merger as contrary to sound
public policy and pledging support to
any proper legal action which may be
brought to test it. Other resolutions
adopted call On congress to investigate
the subject and favor the granting of
power to the interstate commerce com
mission to fix maximum rates upon
interstate business.

resident of this county for'eleven
years, during which time his ex-
emplary moral character, his un-
yielding devotion to his friends, and
his eminent ability and untirinG
zeal as a lawyer, justly won for him
the confidence and esteem of his en-
tire acquaintance. He is a mau of
many strong points, among which
his sound judgment on legal
questions is one of the most promi-
nent; and all of which contribute to
his superior fitness for judicial
service. He is intellectual, vigorous
and at all times fearless in the dis
charge of duty. His democracy is
of the purest type, and his service
to the party in the past IS of acknOwl-
edged value. Upon the foregoing
facts we feel warranted in saying of

is worthy of the honor which he
seeks, and that if be is elected,
