GOV. LIND DEMANDS
CORRECTION OF BALLOT
Asks Supreme Court to Order Designa-
ton "SociaI- Democrat" Stricken
From Ticket.

John Lind, candidate for congress on
the Democratic ticket in the Fifth dis
trict, secured from the supreme court
yesterday an order requiring County
Auditor Scott to show cause why he
should not correct an error in the Of
fetal ballot which was posted yester-
day.
On the ticket appears the name of
Spencer M. Holman, who is designated
as "Social-Democrat.
The application on which the order
was issued sets up that for forty years
there has been Democratic party in
Minnesota, and that the members OF
that party are known, as designated, as
Democrats; that the petitioner is the
candidate of the Democratic party for
congress in the Fifth district; that
Aug. Is the auditor of Hennepin coun-
ty accepted a petition purporting to be
signed by $50 persons nominating
Spencer M. Holman as a candidate of
the Social and that the
name of Holman and this party desig-
nation appears on the official ballot.
Further the application says that at
the last general election the candidate
for governor on the "Social-Democrat"
ticket confused thetvoters so that 21,-
900 voters marked both the Democratic
candidate and the "Social-Democrat'
candidate, thus losing their votes.
In order that the mistake shall not
be made again, and that the sections
of the election law be not evaded, Gov.
Lind wants the ballot corrected by
striking off the word democrat after
Holman's name, and an order issued to
the auditor not to print or distribute
any ballots with the words Democrat"
or Democratic" after the name of
Holman.

READY, START!
An Athletic Event.

You want, everybody wants, brain
and muscle, wind and stamina, and
can get them if fed properly. This is
an athletic age. The man or woman
who is weak or sickly, Is not in the

1t is largely a matter of choice with
anyone for proper living, and proper
food will bring the prize.
An athlete in Chicago tells of the
good results he obtained from proper
food. He says: Last spring I began
to train hard to become an athlete in
track events and to grow stronger;
now know that what strength and vic
tories I have secured is due to the use
of Grape-Nuts. When in training for
an athletic meet / would just live on
Grape Nuts alone for three days be-
fore the event was to come Off. Dur
ing this time I have won six cham
pionship races out of two athletic
meets. In 300-yard run my time was
35 seconds, and in the 75-yard dash
the time was 8 seconds, both being a
good record.
Grape Nuts has given me stronger
mind and also bodily strength which
no other food could have done in so
short a time. I have gained strength
in most remarkable way since using
Grape Nuts.

PROVIDED FOR COMO
Park Board Estimates That 1t Can Be
Built for the Sum of
$4,000.

Como park may be given new and
more commodious pavilion before an
other year has passed. President
Wheelock advocated it at the meeting
of the board last night and his views
were partly shared by the other mem
bers. With the winter approaching
there is need of additional warming
sheds for the skaters who will congre-
gate at the lake and Mr.. Wheelock ad-
vocated delay and the Incorporation Of
suitable sheds with a new pavilion.
He thinks it would pay in the end.
The estimated cost is placed at about
$4,000.
The board last night authorized a
call for bids for the construction of a
new pavilion at Lake Phalen. The es-
timated cost is placed at $4,000, and
the plans are SO arranged as to per-
NIT of extensions when needed. The

street car company will extend its
tracks this year to Phalen and will try
and have the pavilion ready in time.

NOT WORKING ON TAXES.
Public Examiner johnson Does Not
Worry About Tax Law.

State Public Examiner Johnson
stated yesterday that his department
had not been engaged in looking up the
probable results of the taxes which
would accrue to the state from the
operation of the proposed jacobson
gross earnings tax law.
1.-The expert who has been securing
statistics for this department during
the past few MONTHS said the public
examiner, from the railroad COM
panies has not been working on the
gross earnings proposition. All he has
been doing is to look up back taxes. It
may be that members of the Repub-
lican state central committee. have
said that this department was prepar-
ing statistics about the gross earnings
taxes under the proposed law, but that
does not make it the case. l have ask
ed the railroads for certain information
within the last day or so for the pur-
pose of securing a basis to work on in
securing information about the gross
earnings receipts: but it is not likely
that I will be able to get the figures
before election. I could go to the
courts for an order, but this would de-
lay the matter until after election and
then the figures would be of no USE"

in the Iowa platform Gov. Cummins said:
Iowa is strongly in favor of protection
and it is in the interests of true protec-
tion that the plank was drawn. No man
is compelled in this country to commit
the crime of creating a monopoly in the
sale or manufacture of any article. If he
commits that crime he does it of his own
free will and he cannot complain if the
people, in defending their rights to the
benefits of competition. destroy his Gre
alton and deprive him of the spoils he
hoped to obtain by that monopoly"
