G. N. vs.. Van SAINT HOME IS DEDICATED
Campaign Circulars Are Distributed
Along Lines of the Great North
ern Attacking Governor.
Money for Work Said to Be Ad-
vanced by an Official of
the Company.

Independent of the democratic state
committee. a, campaign is being carried
ON against Governor Van SAINT. Circu-
lars and pamphlets attacking the COVER
nor and rousing nationality prejudice in
favor of his opponent have been sent by
carloads along the lines Of the Great
Northern in Minnesota, and livery teams
are hired by local democratic workers to
circulate them through the country dis
tricts. jf& sa&
At the democratic state headquarters
| to-day, Chairman Buck denied all knowl-
edge of the circulars. He said they were
sent out without any authority of the
committee. Some one Is paying for their
distribution, and it Is stated as positive
fact that the whole bill is footed from a
fund disbursed by officials of the Great
Northern road, s4a,.
The word has been passed out to sta
ton agents along the line of the Great
Northern to do something for Rosing.'
If they can help him by the use Of a. lit
tie money, they are directed to draw on
u prominent official Of the road for what
they want. "Es,:szs.
The republican state committee Is thor
oughly posted on every move Of the OPP
position, and has plenty of information to
bear out these statements. Evidence &C
cumulates that the merger interests are
spending money freely to defeat the gov
ridiculous.
F., 3 Have About Given It up.*
In spite of their efforts, the democratic
leaders do not really expect to elect Ros-
ing. They have had hopes of it, and they
are still putting up the best fight they
know how, but have come to realize that
they cannot command the full party vote
for Rosing. Thousands of democrats are
going to vote for Van SAINT because they
indorse his stand. =
No money is offered on Rosings :, A
democratic worker who was predicting
victory for his chief was bluffed out yes
terday on a four to one proposition.
Democrats are putting up some money
even that Van SAINT will not get 10000.
One bet of $1,000 is registered between
Judge Jamison and Patrick Conley, the
st. Paul city assessor, and many, small
wagers have been put up on the 10000
proposition. This is a favorite figure. and
seems to represent the average judgment
of the two sides.
Weather conditions will be closely
watched from now on. A bright, clear
day means light republican vote in the
country. A heavy storm will be demo
| cratic weather ALSO A damp. cloudy day
| like to-day will stop farm work and bring
the farmers to the polls. - E&t #;;&S$
