Wanted Ex-Gov. Lind to Prove Mis-
quoted Statement.

John Lind was quoted in a morning pa
per as making the bald statement that the
sugar trust owned the ST.. Louis Park
sugar factory, alsofathat no two farmers
would say that sugar beet raising had been
profitable business with them, and il
they could bezfound ne would give 500 to
any charity that might be named.
The statement caught the eye of Gustav
Theden this morning, and he promptly
telephoned Governor Lind that he had
$4,000 at his bank ready to hand out tc
him if he would prove his assertion re-
garding the trust ownership of the st
Louis Park factory He was also read,
to take him up on the other assertion
Governor replied that he had no
been correctly quoted, and later qualified

MINNESOTA POLITICS

LIND STILL Last nights banquet
at tho Nicolet house
A SPHINX. was a decorous as
~ semblsge, for a demo-
cratic gathering in campaign year. At
dollar plate there ought to have been more
banqueters and more enthusiasm. James
Gray, j. C. Haynes, Senator Fitzpatrick and
L. A. Rosing were we'll received, but not with
acclamations. The only real wild time &C.
CURED when John Lind was forced to the
floor for a speech Certainly If the demo-
Gratis present had their way, nobody but
Lind would head the state ticket
He gave them just this much encourage
ment-the assurance that he was real dem
ocrat. No longer an orphan, he had adopted
the democratic party, and 1t had adopted
him. So far, so good; but he avoided state
issues, leaving them to his former private
secretary and reputed heir apparent. Mr..
Lind touched up, congress and gave the Min
nesota delegation a rap on the beet-sugar
question, which sounded very much like
warning to Congressman Fletcher.
So the crowd got no real line on Mr.. Lnds
Intentions, unless his discussion of national
question indicated a desire to run for con-
gress.' v
L. A. Rosing made it plain that he had no
use for the state administration, and was
loaded with material for speeches against
Van SAINT, should the occasion arise to deliver
them.
c. A. SMITH A. w Benson started
boom last night at
IN 1904. the Monitor League
49, meeting for C. A.
Smith for governor not this year, but two
years hence. Mr.. Benson said there was no
doubt about C. A. Smiths strength as a can
didate and he would help the ticket by going
on this year for lieutenant governor. Mr..
Benson did not believe, however, that the
time had come for the big umberman to go
into politics. Two years hence he would be
the logical successor Of Governor Van SAINT.
The sentiment was heartily applauded.
Speaking of the lieutenant governorship.
the Ray Jones meeting at the fourth ward
wigwam tonight promises to be quite an af-
fair. Mr.. Jones has many strong friends
who will speak for him, and there will be a
good turn out.
The Monitor League is always good place
for politics, and the social last night was
the~hrst public appearance Of James A. Peter
eon after the public announcement of his can
didacy for congress. He was introduced by
Gustav Theden, president of the club, who
very plainly indicated his preference for Mr..
Peterson. The latter made no reference to
his candidacy, but, with excellent taste, gcon-
fined himself to straight campaign speech,
which was well received.

banquet OF the Monitor and Viking Leagues

.. LUND- FOR The runlor recently
given currency in this
CONGRESS. column, that John e.
Lund of Candy was
thinking of running for congress, struck con-
sternation in the hearts of the Volstead sup.
porters, who saw 1t would never do to have
another candidate from Yellow Medicine coun-
ty The Echo Enterprise, Volstead's chief
organ, dismissed it in the following fashion:
The story that John G. Lund thinks@pf an
nouncng himself as candidate for congress
has no shadow of foundation, as he Is
hearty supporter OF Mr.: Volstead. Mr.. -Lund
may conclude to try for the nomination as
representative from this Legislative district,
at the earnest solicitation of his friends, and
If so he will be likely to get it. The attempt
of sentiment on the congressional question n
among the republicans of this county will fall
fiat because because it is not true.
"A very different story is told by Mr.. Lund' $
home paper, the Candy News, which claims
to speak with authority. The News says:
1t has been noised about that J. G. Lund,
of the Lund land agency, has serious thought
of becoming congressional candidate IN
informed that, while he has not decided to en-
ter the contest, there is possibility that ne
will. His indecision in the matter is prompted
BY his very extensive neI sis

and politics His many friends are strongly

Lowers Campaign standard.

: From political standpoint the meeting
did not set a high standard : Much was
expected OF Il. A. Rosing in this regard.
Under the caption Of Estate Issues it
was expected that Mr.. Rosing would put
thea issues Of the year before the gather
ing in convincing way and in effect lay
the foundation of the coming campaign.
Probably all present agreed with him as
to- the necessity of harmony in Henne-
pin county and everywhere else. although
all may not have been so hopeful per-
haps, of realizing it in anything like the
same measure as he prophesied, but it is
not at all likely that there will be unani-
NOUS approval of his manner of stating
the issues Of the day. Mr.. Rcsing sharp
ly criticized the last legisla ture, the ad-
! ministration and some of the state officers
in such way as to set low campaign
standard. Incompetency was the genetal
and specific charge that he made against
the republican state administration. He
said the governor was incompetent, also
the attorney general, the railroad and
warehouse commission, the state board
Of control, and, finally, the legislature
itself, he said The governor was nothing
more than Jolly bluff, Z who daily wor-
shipped at the shrine Of Van SAINT and
| templated himself as governor. The
special session of the legislature cost the
state from 100000 to $50, 900, and it ac-
complished nothing hut the repeal of the
tax on dogs, he declared. jacobson he al
luded to as the autocrat who led the legis-
lature around as man would lead a pup,
| with no capacity for leadership, and who
maintained his hold on the legislature
! by his ability to proclaim in strident
voice that his fellow members were cor
| rupt and that if they did not stand for
his pet measures he would prove it
against them. Mr.. Rosing, in conclusion,
paid his compliments to the railway and
warehouse commission. He said it ,thad
faileds miserably to- perform the duties
imposed upon it by law. q;

Gov. Lind Was Brief.

Governor, Lind spoke but briefly and
confined himself almost wholly to national
issues: His tehief texts were the pend
ing tariff Legislation and the nations
policy in the Philippines. Along the lat
ter lines he said:
The right will win,, but l do fear that for
the time being the American heart is dormant
on this question. Until that cruel policy has
become so thoroughly, known that the. minis
tiers OF our. churches, and our women rise to
condemn it, there is no hope. The principles
of the Declaration Of independence do not
seem to appeal to the. people just now The
only appeal they hear is that addressed to
the pocketbook.

Skepticult About Beets.

Mr.. Lind spoke skeptically of the value
of the sugar beet industry to the United
States and declared that if anybody
could show him two farmers on adjoining
farms who after a series of years of sugar
beet growing would: affirm that it had
been a profitable venture with them, he
would give $40 to any charity that might
be named. The industry might in time
become of some Importance to the coun-
try, but it was not now any substantial
addition to the nations industries and
should not be given the benefit of any
tariff or bonuses.

Stories of Restaurateur.

The death of the famous Paris res
taurateur Bignon, recalls some stories
of interest: He was among the first
to see that the enormously high-priced
cafes had seen their day, and selling
the famous house in the avenue to
the opera, he retired into private life.
An amusing story of his revenge is
told. One night after an opera ball a
gay party trooped in and persisted in
being served by Bignon himself. The
old gentleman was in bed, but he got
up and threw the traditional serviette
of the waiter across his arm. When
the bill was sent up there was grief
that could have been photographed
among the party. At the end of a
financially much-spiced note appeared:
''For being served by Bignon, LOCO
Francs" He got the money and handed
it over to charity.-Chicago Post.

The, Joke Will Turn.

Chauncey M. DepeW, the senator
from New York, and Samuel L. Glenn
Gus, the humorist, were crossing the
ocean on the same steamer One even
ing, after dinner, it was suggested
that, following the time-honored GUS
tom in the United States, the diners
make speeches. Mr.. Clemens made a
characteristic address, such as might
have been expected from one whose
writings are SO well known under the
nom de plume of Mark Twain.
1T was understood" said Senator
Depew, when called upon to speak,
''that Mr.. Clemens and I should write
out our speeches for this occasion in
advance and then exchange manu-
scripts. We have done so, but | re-
gret to say that l have forgotten Mr..
Clemens speech"
The senator then took his seat. His
auditors roared in appreciation of the
joke.

says: "When one remembers that it is
only some three years since the coun-
try was taken over by the United
States, the great strides that have been
made in so short a time are simply
marvellous The number of banks, mer-
chants offices, public schools and col

most exalted idea of what Americans
can do if they mean it, and put their
minds, money and hands to it with a

dignity and modesty and charm of her
womanhood. Not the unpleasant and
constant frivolity evidenced in smart"

the humor that looks at the world with
a twinkle in the eye and sees it's alb

Where Wives Are Bought.

Wives are still obtained by pur-
chase in parts of Russian Europe. In
the district of Kamyschin, on the Vol
ga, for example, this is practically the
only way in which marriages are
brought about The price of a pref
ty girl from a well-to-do family ranges
from $50 to 500, and in special cases
a much higher sum is obtained. In
the villages the lowest price is about
S25. It is customary for the fathers of
the intending bride and bridegroom to
haggle for long time over the price to
be paid for the lady. A young farmer
whose father cannot afford to pay for a
wife for him need not think of getting
