The fact that the steel trust refuses to
sell rails to a railway company which re-
fuses to explain it's purposes to the trust
is indeed profoundly significant. 1t indi-
Gates that the trust is in alliance with
the great railway systems of the country
to prevent the building of new and inde-

abroad for its rails. And it will have to

Another Davis Bolter.

The Falrmont News, commenting on the
candidacy Of c.. R. Davis of St. Peter for con-
gress in the third district, says:
: The fact that Davis when member of
the legislature broke his pledge and voted
against G. K. Davis for United States senator
ought to come up to plague him."
The record shows the statement of the
News to be correct! In 1893, when twelve re-
publican bolters so near accomplished the de-
feat OF Senator Davis, C.4~R Davis was a.
member OF the state senate from Nicollet
county he attended the republican caucus
Wnlcn nominated Senator Davis for re-elec-
tlon, and not only voted for Davis there.
but acted as secretary OF the caucus. How
ever. when the test came and the legislature
oalloted on United Stats senator, Mr.. Davis
bolted the caucus action and voted twice for
Judge D.. A. Dickinson. The first time was
Jan. IT, when the houses voted separately,
and the second occasion was the joint session
OF jan IL, when Senator Davis was elected
by one vote. Both times Davis Of st. Peter
voted for Judge. Dickinson, who got no other
votes. The twelve boilers scattered. voting

or the twelve, only two have since been
returned to the legislature, Allen J. Greer and
$. u. Peterson. E. F. Comstock is now a
candidate for the senate in the thirty ninth
district, but his boiling record Is rising up to
plague him, and it will doubtless give Mr..
Davis some trouble. He is supposed to be
one of the strongest candidates in the third
district and is man of ability, but he has
not been returned to the legislature by Nicol-
let county since the session of 1898. He has
served as county attorney, however.

Lieutenant Governor Lyndon A. Smith was
