OPPOSED TO BABcOCk
Attitude Of Robert Jamison, Chairman
Republican State COMMITTEES,

Robert Jamison, chairman Of the repub
lican state central committee, made public
announcem ent yesterday Of his hostility to
the Babcock candidacy. He said he was
not. as the governors representative, OPP
posing Babcock. but as head of the state
committee, which wanted to see the house
organized on proper lines.
James A. Martin. chairman of the exec
utive committee, kept quiet until yester-
day, because he is from the same district
as DR.. Babcock. Matters reached a point
yesterday, however, where he felt that
he had to cut loose. He said before leav-
ing for st. Paul last evening:
II do not believe that Governor Van
SAINT has personally taken any hand in the
speakership fight Whatever has been
done by those closely connected with the
administration has been done on their own
responsibility. l am from the sixth con-
gressional district, and ordinarily would
stand by the candidate Of my district.
Il feel justified, however, in saying that
7 am opposed to the candidacy of DR.. Bah
cock. The state central committee this
year made fight along certain lines and
for certain things which the state admin
| istration has stood for. The forces back
of Babcock are opposed to the interests
which we have carried to the front in
the campaign and which was overwhelrn-
ingly Endorsed at the polls. For these
| reasons am bitterly opposed to DR.. Bah
cock. would not have taken this action
unless I thought the situation demanded
it. There are members of the sixth dis
trict who are bitterly opposed to him.
II believe that if the members who
favor DR.. Babcock's candidacy thoroughly
| understood the situation, his strength
| would collapse

A CINCH FOR
|. 4. JOHNSON
Continued from First Page.

J. H. Burns Of Lanesboro says he is not
out OF the speakership fight yet. He did
not ask the district to indorse him, but
he is not SO sure that either Babcock or
johnson can be elected. The seventh Is
for Babcock unreservedly. ::
J. O. Haugland said to-day that he was
not to be considered in connection with
the speakership. He is against Babcock
and believes that Johnson is the man who
can beat him. .r.. -
49, Babcock Booms Grouchy.
The Babcock men are losing their
temper. It becomes apparent that the
band wagon they started has failed to col
lect it's load and that hard fight is ahead.
They are particularly sore against James
A. Martin, who has gone into the sixth
district to pull Babcock's home strength
away from him. Babcock claims a ma
jority Of the votes already pledged, but
cannot convince the floating vote Of that
fact.
In positive strength, Johnson and Bah
cockzappear to be about even. Each has
in the neighborhood of thirty -four votes
that he can absolutely count on. This Is
not figuring in the first district, which Is
against Babcock and will go to johnson
whenever he can show thirty mine votes
elsewhere. Much now depends upon the
ninth district, which is least known OF
any.
Feeling there is strongly administration,
and this sentiment is expected to carry a
large majority against Babcock. Defer
ring the ninth caucus until Tuesday may
postpone the end of the fight until that
time. The ninth is Babcock's last hope
and it does not look promising for him.

THE FIRST WATER
IRRIGATION Work Under the Hans
brough Law Will Begin
" at Phoenix.
This Will Be Good News to Some
Minnesota People Who
Are There.

From, The Journal Bureau, Room Is, Post
Building, Warrington.
Washington, NOV. 2o.-The first work
under the Hansbrough irrigation law will
be done near Phoenix, Arizona. The d.
rector Of the geological survey has recon-
mended that point and, II it is approved
by the secretary Of the interior, opera
tons will be commenced this winter.
Years ago many northern people. some
from Minnesota, including Minneapolis,
took up lands near Phoenix, believing that
private enterprise would be able success
fully to irrigate these lands. Private en-
terprise failed. however, and for several
seasons the people have been moving
away from this Phoenix strip to the great
CONSERVATION of those who realize that
this movement is being used as an argu-
ment against statehood. The geological
survey thinks that in view Of the peculiar
conditions prevailing near Phoenix the
first government work should be done
there Wells will be bored and water
pumped from below the surface. There
are no rivers near Phoenix available fol
irrigation projects.

Guiding, Hoshi''1tor'
Washington, Nov. 20.-After holding the
Mile Laos treaty up for two months, Sec
cretary Hitchcock has finally approved it
and directed the disbursement of the $780,

Indian Commissioner Jones made a re-
port to Secretary Hitchcock, urging the
rejection Of the agreement on the ground
that it did rot provide payment for i'm
provements based actual value, but
would give each Indian about $26.50 re-
gardless of whether he had any improve
ments on his land or not. The secretary
agreed with the commissioner as to the
inequality in the agreement. but regarded
the law as in part mandatory, and desired
to have all the difficulties In the way of
the administration Of the Morris act out

document.
Just as soon as the formalities be
arranged an agent of the department will

FOOD TO USE
When Doctor Is Not Convenient.

Many people dislike to call in a doctor
until it is absolutely necessary; frequently
a change of food will work wonders.
A young lady In Russellville, KY, says:
'I was taken ill six weeks ago, and could
not take solid food; was only allowed to
eat SOUP and milk. = In about week,
got so weak and nervous that I could not
sleep. Father wanted to call in a doctor,
but objected, as I didn't feel I needed
medicine as much as good food. The
next day father had to go to town, and
brought back package of Grape-N Nuts
with him, and I commenced to eat it
twice q day in milk. I would get hungry
for it from one time to the next. In a
few nights could sleep soundly all night,
and in two weeks I was up, and had act
ually gained flesh, and was soon as strong
as before 1. got sick.
81 would not be without Grape Nuts
now for anything, and my friends com
ment on my looks. I tell them lowe 1t
to Grape Nuts. and recommend it to all
who complain of stomach trouble. which
is the general complaint in this neighbor-
hood. Name given w Postum Co, Bat

Definite Action To-day.
The Minnesota board held a meeting
this afternoon, and was expected to take
definite action upon the question at is
sue. The decision will be wired to the
Michigan board in time for consideration
at to-night's meeting Of the latter body.
It remains to be seen whether Michigan
will disregard. the protest of Minnesota.
George X Be1den, faculty member of the
board Of control, said this morning:
80 far as can gauge the sentiment of
the board. believe it is nearly to man in
favor of playing the game at Detroit We
think Michigan hardly justified in trying

Baird Waits for Nothing.
Meanwhile Manager Baird is going
steadily ahead with the work Of erecting
extra bleachers on Ferry field at Ann Ar
Dor and making all other arrangements
for the game. Manager Luby has en-
gagged twenty-five rooms at the Cook
house in Ann Arbor for the Minnesota
players. This will probably be the Min
nesota headquarters If the game is played
in Ann Arbor.
Manager Baird says positively that the
game will be played in Ann Arbor. He
states that all arrangements have been
completed between Luby and himself and
that the contracts have been let for the
new bleachers on Ferry field Both Baird
and Coach Yost call the protests over the
transfer Of the games childish. The price
of tickets for the game has been fixed at
81, with 81 extra for reserved seats.
Manager I.uby reserves 500 seats IN
Ferry field for the Minnesota rooters, and
the tickets were expected to reach Min
neapolis to-day. Orders for these seats
can be left tomorrow at Mr.. Luby's Of

SCHENECTADY BOYCOTT
Possibility of Action by Street r. R
Employees of Troy and Albany.

Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 20.-Another
and more serious development of the boy
colt instituted against the Schenectady
Railway company by the local trades as
sembly came to light to-day in the pos
sibility of action by the Amalgamatel
Association Of Street Railway Employees
Of Albany and Troy looking to the in
dorsement Of the action of the Schenec-
tady labor body. -..(
The statement is made by an official of
the Amalgamated association that that
body will positively refuse to allow the
cars of the Schenectady railway to enter
the city of Troy as long as there are
non union men aboard of them If the
company insists on the carrying out of
the terms Of it's contracts with the United
Traction company to use it's tracks, the
men will go on strike, he declared s-
In this way" he said, I'VE hold the
real key to the situation and we can make
or break the boycott as we desire. We
have tried for long time to unionize
the Schenectady railway but we have not
succeeded In doing SO. Now we have the
opportunity we have coveted so long and
we mean to tal2e action while we have the
Initiative" ~ IT,. s III
That this act is contemplated by the
association as a body is evident from the
report OF the Albany Federation of Labor
which last spring Endorsed the boycott
and pledged it's support to the local trades
assembly. The Amalgamated association
is a member of this central body.
Albany, N. Y.;aNov. 2O-It is under
stood here that the Endorsement of the
boycott Of the Schenectady railway by
the Albany Federation OF Labor which in
,cludes the Amalgamated Association OF
Street Railway Employees does not heces-
sarily mean that the men will go on strike
II the Schenectady cars are run in Albany

moral support by asking all persons favor
ing labor and all our members and their.
families to refrain from using the Sche-
nectady cars .6'a r.
The cars are running on time TO-DAY

MOVE TOWARD JOHNSON

appointment Of Steering Committee by
First District Caucus.
The first district caucus at Austin yes
terday did not indorse any candidate for
speaker. After three hour discussion A
steering committee was appointed with
power to act. 1t consists Of w. A. Nolan,
J. r. Morley, J. H. Burns, G. G. Dalen
and w. Il. Frazer. The committee agreed
to meet in st. Paul Saturday.
This is believed to be a move toward
Johnson. Burns, Morley and Frazer have
all declared themselves as, opposed to
Babcock, and the other two are likely to
be of the same mind. 1t was not on the
program to. indorse first district man.
Neither Burns nor Morley cared to enter
as a candidate. It was also wise not to
indorse johnson Immediately and force
the fighting, for Johnson has everything
to gain: by delay. The longer the con-
test runs the harder shedding it is for
Babcock.
Schrnahl for chief clerk and Tanning
for sergeant-at-arms were indorsed with
out opposition.
