years after its founding it failed. and
the buildings were finally sold to the

position to have a permanent educa-

EXPENSIVE FOR ALGER.
Young MCMILLAN Refused to Run Be
~ cause of Machine Pay Roll.

Washington, Nov. 12-The politicians
here are relating a good story in regard
to the election of ex-Secretary Alger to
the United States senate. 1t seems that
Senator Mcmillan. who was a man of
great wealth. had big pay roll. and that
he kept on it the names of many broken
down politicians. whose services he uti-
lized in maintaining his machine
After the death of his father young
Mcmillan was urged to run for the vacant
position While the son was considering
the offer he went through his father
effects. and, in his private desk came
across his personal pay roll. Its size ap-
palled him. for he had no idea of the
heavy expenditures made by his father to
keep up his political machine. When the
l5saders of the Mcmillan faction came to
him for his reply, he showed them the
pay roll and asked if he would be re-
quired to keep up the payments if he ac-
cepted the senatorsh.
Yes" he was told. That's what will
be expected of you
VERY we'll, then" replied young Nc
MILAN, under these circumstances
most assuredly decline to run for the sen
ate"
This somewhat staggered the Mcmillan
men. but they promptly offered their sup
port to a millionaire Detroit lumberman.
The pay roll went along with the offer
of support, but after glancing over its
lengthy proportions. the lumberman kick
ed also and declined to run.
Some idea of the amount of money that
General Alger will require to keep his
political machine well oiled and running
may be gained from this story.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Gov. Van SAINT, of Minnesota, May Be
a Candidate.

washington, Nov PA good many
politicians believe the recent election de-
veloped a candidate for vice president
in the person of Samuel r. Van SAINT
governor of MINES Ia. In turning to
the Minnesota man the politicians, of
course, are going on the theory that
President Roosevelt will be the party's
candidate for first place.
1t is assumed that the candidate for
second place must come from the west
or northwest. The friends of Governor
Van SAINT are pointing to him as the
most available man in the public eye
at this time. His ancestors came from
Holland, as did the ancestors of Presi-
elected governor by less than 5000 plu-
rality Not much had been heard of
him until the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern railroads were merged.
He opposed the merger, aroused the
governors of other states, persuaded
President Roosevelt to take up the fed
eral end of the subject, and the proceed
ings in court to prevent the merger
were the result.
The merger was the sole issue in the
Minnesota campaign. 1t was charged
that the railroad interests, through
President Hill. supplied the Democrats
with an enormous amount of money. At
any rate, they had money, and fought
the Republicans with remarkable vigor.
Van SAINTS issue won by somethine
like $4,000 majority. To the minds of a
good many persons, the result in the
state indicates how the people will ex-
press themselves on the trust question
when the opportunity offers. Van SAM
was soldier in the Civil war and is
about SIS years old.
