LOREN FLETCHER SPEAKS
His View of the Conditions Which
Brought About His Defeat
Tuesday.

Loren Fletcher attributes his defeat In
the election Tuesday in large part to per-
sistent Misrepresentation Of his attitude
toward President Roosevelt and toward
Cuban reciprocity prior to the primary
campaign. He says:
THE campaign is ended and 1 take this
opportunity to express to my friends who
have so Loyalty, earnestly and faithfully
stood by me-before the primaries and be-
fore the election-my sincere and earnest
thanks for their devotion. No man ever
had more loyal, sincere and unselfsh
friends than have had in this campaign.
II want to express to the county CAM
paign committee and to my personal
campaign committee my sincere thanks
for their untiring and unceasing devotion
and efficient service to myself and to the
republican party.
II have left nothing undone that was
honorable for me to do during this CAM
paign and have worked to the full extent
of my strength and ability. Isincerely re-
sret that I could not have remained in
congress for another term, to have COM
pleted the work that I had outlined fon
| the benefit and interest Of this congress
sional district and Of the state Of Minne-
sofa.
Il regret that my position toward Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the principles of tho
| republican party, relating to reciprocity
| with Cuba and Canada, was so persistent-
ly misrepresented prior to my nomination.
| This has no doubt had much to do with
alternating many republicans from my sup-
port.
"Other conditions, familiar to all intelli-
| gent voters, over which have had no cons
troll and which should never have entered
| into republican policies, and for which
none Of my friends is responsible-one OF
| these being the nationality question, which
has been used in this district and state for
three or four campaigns-havet tended ma
| terially to bring about this unfavorable
! result to myself and have worked to the
| success but not to the credit Of the bens-
| ficiary."

THE TO RULE
Democratic Aldermen Are to Re.
ceive Scant Courtesy from Their
Republican Colleagues.
Republican Street Commissioners
May Be Named in Wards Rep
resented by Dems.

Republican wards that send democrats
to the council may find it no joke. There
Is strong disposition in the new body
to make the republican influence dominant
as never before.
It is a fact that the democrats have
been treated with the utmost considera-
ton by the republican majority in the
council which has actually supplied a
democrat like Peter Mccoy with more or
less campaign ammunition. In other
wods republicans have been strengthen
ing the democratic machine, by their def
manic courtesy.
1t has been found that this show Of
courtesy is too costly and the disposition
of many Of the republicans is to play the
game of politics as the democrats them
selves would play it and as they always
play it when in power.
The defeat of Claus Peterson in the
eleventh ward, of Elmar w. Gray in the
ninth and of A. w. Benson in the tenth
wards, which in the main are republican
and give handsome majorities to the re-
publican ticket. has hurt the republican
leaders overmuch and they are quite will
ing to take revenge.
Already plan of action is forming tc
get everything for the republican wards
Three Of them-the ones named above
have only democrats in the council anC
are to have real democratic times Theil
aldermen will get the meagre leavings o.
committee chairmanships and member
ships and a minimum share. of public
works. 1t is even a part of the plan tt
place republican street commissioners IL
all the wards.
It has rarely occurred that the appoint
ment Of street commissioners has beel
taken out Of the hands Of the aldermen
Of the ward when both were of the sam
political complexion, but the republican
leaders are willing to go to any eXtrem
and welcome any suggestion that vii
humiliate the democrats and minimiz
their influence, matter how drasti
1t may be.
In case the scheme is carried out. tn
street commissioners in the ninth, tent
and eleventh wards would be the req
aldermen. If the voters after giving thi
plan trial, are still satisfied that the
want democrats in the council the pla
will be continued
Active work is being done in accordanc
with this policy and it is reported tina
several aldermen who would be eXpecte
to oppose it, are in sympathy with it.

A PLACE FOR CONROY
The Democrats Are Already Laying
Wires to Make Him Chief
of Police. 49,. ~
MI. Haynes Is Not Committed to
Any Candidate, Though Doyle
~ Stands High. -s~~.-

Ed Conroy was defeated for sheriff. but
the election may yet bring him consola-
ton. Already it is stated that the united
strength Of the democratic party. so far
as it is represented by he workers. will be
exerted upon Mr.. Haynes to induce him
to appoint Conroy chief of police. 1t had
been supposed that Former Chief Doyle,
having made an excellent record under a
democratic mayor and received the COM
pliment of an appointment from Acting
Mayor Jones, would naturally be the
choice Of the new mayor. 1t may thus fall
out, but Conroy's friends hope to land the
place for him.
So far as Mr.. Haynes is concerned he
is tied by no promises nor pledges to any
policy. He said yesterday that he would
have nothing to say before taking office,
intimating that his idea was to do things
without much preliminary palaver.

Point of Importance to Letter Writ
ers Settled in Memorandum in

JUDGES: Elliott and Brooks filed a long
memorandum to-day in the case OF the
Winkly Artificial Limb company against

hold that the writer of a letter retains
a proprietary interest therein even aiter
the letter has passed from his possession,
and that 1T may not be published with

The action was originally brought by
Lowell E. Jepson to prevent the publica-

written as president Of the Winkly com

was dismissed on the ground that Jep.
