MINNESOTA POLITICS

Republicans face the issue TOMORROW
with confidence in the election of the en-
tire state ticket. There is greater anxiety
over two congressional districts than over
the general result. Based on detailed re-
ports from every section of the state, the
republican state committee is confident of
$4,000 plurality for Governor Van SAINT,
while the rest Of the ticket will go through
by from 3d. 900 to $4,000 plurality. They
believe that the governor will not run
more than 10000 behind the average of
the other candidates, lin spite of the hard
fight made on him by the railroad inter-
ests. Thousands Of voters of the oppos-
ing parties love him for the enemies he
has made, and while they will vote the
democratic or populist ticket on other Of
fees, they will indorse Governor Van SAINT
withstheir little cross mark.

country will be seen.
Kellar, the magician, opened a weeks
engagement at the Bijou yesterday. At
the Lyceum the new Ferris bill was "The

familiar ''Burgonaster,' was seen for one
night only. Tonight w. H. Crane be-

week, the Ferris company will give the ad-
nnirers of melodrama treat in the form
of a new play, 1.-THE Crucifix.''
Shortly after Westcott's David Harum"
was placed before the reading world, any
number of people bobbed up as the orig
inals Of the characters described in the
book. There were several David Earums,
John Lenox had number of doubles and
so had Mary Blake and Aunt Polly. It was
insisted that the -simon-pure original Of
David Harum was David TIannum, we'll
known in Syracuse, N. Y, but Westcott
before his death denied that Harum was
copied aft:r any one man, but was a COM
posite creation. William H. Crane in pre-
sentipg the drama tization follows minute
ly the description of the shrev old chap
given by Westcott. He shows Harum as
q man inclined to stoutness. He has a
shrewd,' sharp. yet kindly eve. and a
mouth intensely expressive. He is bald,
with fringe of reddish hair running
around his loose, old-fashioned collar.
There is the wart on his cheek and he has
the complexion Of one who is out great
deal in the open air. The play Is to be
given at the Metropolitan all this week.
Ezra Kendall will be at the Metropoli-
tan next week In his new three-act COM
edy. The Vinegar Buyer" which was
written by Herbert Hall Winslow and
abetted by the comedian himself. The
scenes of the play are laid in Indiana and
Mr.. Kendall will play the part of one OF

less in all other occupations is put to buy

excellent supporting company.

Hard Work for Committees.


While there has been little evidence of
it to the outside word, this campaign has
been one of the hardest in years for cam
paign committees. When there were
plenty Of issues and everybody was talk
ing politics, it was not hard to run cam
paign with lots Of noise and enthusiasm.
The heart breaking effort this year has
been to stir up the voters to realize that
campaign was on, and in many cases to
arouse even party workers to sense of
the situation. The general prosperity has
killed general interest In politics.. Repub-
leans believe that the general indiffer-
ence is due to the fact that voters have
made up their minds how to vote, and do
not care to thresh over the ground. They
are like jury that is satisfied of the mer-
its Of the case, and goes to sleep while
the opposing counsel harangue
The only thing left to do is to bring out
the voters. Carriages will be freely used
tomorrow by both parties, to bring out
their country vote. '.' .- - - II

The Next Legislature.

Indications are that the republicans will
gain senatorial seats in the next legisla-
ture, and will lose few house seats. The
outgoing senate was elected four years
ago, and the democrats carried nineteen:
Of the sixty three districts. They elected
senators in republican districts in several
cases, through local fights. Republicans
are likely to win back seven Of the dis
tricts this year, while the democrats NAV
gain two, giving a net republican gain Of
five. This would make the next SENATE
forty-nine republicans, and fourteen
democrats.
The last house was elected in q nres,-

Mr.. Young is credited with being one of
the best posted men in his section on
his lines
You are going TO see poultry short
age this fail said he. The shortage is
ter. There will be about GO per cent of
turkeys, Well there are so few that 50
per cent is a good round estimate.
This shortage is the result of the
farmers selling off their poultry last
fail. l never SAW such n rush, and ev-
erything saleable went to market. High
feed forced the farmers to turn loose.
The rains late in June and early in
July killed off thousands of young
chickens, otherwise the supply in Aug
ust would have been larger The pro-
duction has certainly been materially
reduced.
The shortage in turkeys will he
great. Where we got eight cars last fall
do not expect two cars this season.
We are having inquiries for young tur-
keys now. This is very early and shows
the demand Will be brisk. The farmers
WON'T sell so readily this fall, since feed
is now plentiful. and will probably hold
for the holidays.
LAS to eggs this has been record
season. We have sold case count only
and the loss averages three to five doz
en- Our lowest range has been $4.15Gl
40 and up to $3.50 Eggs will be scarce
this fall The pullets won't lay until
October and November and these will
be small. If we have on open winter
prices may be fair. but a hard winter
means high eggs. Really the farmers
haven't the hens TO turn out the supply.
There's no getting away from this fact.
The big egg factory is shut down and
the supply comes from the small plants.
Our business is all done on sales III
station basis. 1t is seldom we coEsign.
our plan is to fix a price based upon
that DAYS prices in Chicago and Kan
sas CITY and if there is room for the
buyer TO clean up Il profit we are glad
and willing for him TO have 1t. That
seems TO me to be the general drift and
selling at station is the rational plan.
