With this end In view Governor Kim

ment. a committee TO visit the coal fields
OF Pennsylvania for the purpose OF in
vestigating the conditions right on the

The committee left this city last eve

Governor Kimball which will undoubted-

Both gentlemen have had long expert

most valuable In their Investigations.
The time at the disposal Of the COM

investigate. but enough information will
be obtained. 1t Is hoped. to be OF import
ance to the committee IL IL Is appointed.
Governor Kimball is considering the
matter very thoroughly. He is anxious
to do anything and everything he can to
assist in settling the trouble Yesterday
In an interview with a News man he said: /:
The legal aspects OF the subject are
questions that none but members of the
bar can treat with any favorable results

where an ordinary supply Of one OF the

Whether the cause of the failure is due
10 the refusal of the mine owners TO pay
proper wages and thereby are unable TO
obtain the necessary labor. or whether
the authorities do not or cannot furnish
the necessary protection. to those willing
to work. are questions which are difficult
to determine at this distance from the
scene OF the trouble.
IT have been paying attention TO this
matter for some time and I realize the
vital effect OF the scarcity OF fuel upon
the people and the industries OF the state.
Eminent legal authority has assured me
that there is no remdy that can be OBJ
tanned through the Rhode Island courts.
and up TO the present time these attor-

river, where cotton can be grown for

STARTS ON SOUTHERN TOUR
Rosing Leaves Today on Long Trip
Mapped Out by Committee.

Mr.. Rosing enters today upon the
three weeks speaking tour planned
for him by the state central commit
tee. The tour opens this afternoon
with mass meeting at Wabasha.
The itinerary of the complete tour
shows that this weeks trip is the least
strenuous of the three and 1t is suff1-
GENTLY arduouS to daunt weaker man
than Rosing. Mr.. Rosing will arrive
from Duluth this morning at 7:15 and
leave an hour later for a tour of the
First district and one meeting in the
Second district. He will make two
speeches daily at the regular scheduled
meetings and may be called ON for
platform speeches along the lines of
railway as opportunity will permit the
local committees which have organic
ed to meet him, to demand
Mr.. Rosing is. scheduled to arrive in
Wabasha at 1928 a. m. After lunch
he will address a mass meeting and
leave for Winona at 4:55. At Winona
he will be met by a special reception
committee and in the evening address
a mass meeting, for which elaborate
preparations have been made by the
Winona county Democracy. Six O'Clock
Thursday morning will find Mr.. Rosing
again on the road Thursday after
noon he will address a meeting at st.
Charles and leave for Rochester at
3:05.
The Rochester meeting is expected
to be the event of the campaign in
Olmsted county. The Olmsted county
committee is in the field with a strong
ticket and everything points to a
complete victory for them. They are
enthused to a degree unusual with
Olmsted Democrats, and the people, re-
CARELESS of political utilization, are
anxious to meet Mr.. Rosing. Several
local orators of note are expected to
divide the speech making with the
party leader.
Friday afternoon Mr.. Rosing speaks
at Blooming Prairie, and in the even
ing will address two big meetings at
Owatonna. Saturday afternoon he is
at Waseca and Saturday night he will
speak at a big mass meeting and re-
ception at Mankato. Sunday will be

John H. Moore, auditor of Scott coun-
ty, ito show cause why he shall not be
= ompelled to place the name of E. F.
Mccarthy on the Scott county ballot
as an independent candidate for SUI
Parintendent of schools.
Mccarthy was an unsuccessful cam
didate for the Democratic nominal ton
at the primary election, and the suit is
brought on the contention that the
amendment to the primary law provid-
ing that a candidate defeated at tale
primary may not file as an independ-
ent, is an infringement of the citizens
constitutional rights. If Senator Peck
is successful in his contention and that
section is held invalid, the whole law
will fall as it has been held that the
invalidation of vital section renders
whole law void.
> Shorn of Constitutional Rights.
Mccarthy was opposed for the Dem
ocratic nomination by H. J. Fitzpat-
rick. Mccarthy polled 459 votes and
Fitzpatrick $50. Mccarthy believes
that if he could get on the ticket as
an independent candidate he can get
enough Republican votes to elect, and
he does not believe that the Minnesota
legislature can by statute prevent him
from running, since he has offered to
the auditor a petition signed by 10 per
cent of the voters of the county asking
that his name be placed on the ticket.
Senator Peck contends that the
amended primary law is in direct vio-
Iation iof article T., section of the
constitution, which provides that any
person;who is asIegal voter in the state
is eligible to any Office filled under the
laws of the state. He says that his
contention may be sustained without
invalidating the whole law, as it has
been held in some courts that the in
valuation of a section does not neceS-
sarfly render the whole act void.

TOURS THE IRON RANGES.
Rosins Makes Flying Trip, the First of
Its Kind in Minnesota.

Last night at Duluth l.. A. Rosing
finished a flying trip over the iron
ranges, the first of it's kind ever made
by a Minnesota candidate for gov
ernor. The trip included visits at TWEEN
ty mining towns and tour of 800
miles crowded into forty-eight hours.
Mr. Rosing, accompanied by his wife,
arrived in Duluth early Monday morn
ing. He was met by DR.. Cullom, of the
state central committee, and party of
ten local Democratic candidates and
left Immediately for Hibbing, where the
party met it's special train. The trip
north was over the MeSaba range and
the return over the Vermillion. Lo-7
cal committees in twenty towns were
ready to receive the party standard
bearer and in nearly every town Mr..
Rosing made short informal speeches.
The speech making was, however,
secondary matter. The trip was an
Introductory or handshaking tour pri-
marily, and as such no more successful
flying trip was ever made by Min
nesota candidate for any office. The
four commenced at Hibbing ended at
Two Harbors and last night Mr. Rosing
reached Duluth after brief stop at
every important mining point on the
ranges. He will arrive in st. Paul this
morning and leave Immediately on the
Southern tour planned by the state
central committee.
Judge II. L. Buck, chairman of the
state central committee, was in Du-
nth when Mr.. Rosing and party left
for the ranges. Yesterday he expressed
himself as delighted with the recep-
fion given Mr.. Rosing and the pros
meets for a sweeping Democratic vic
fory on the north shore.
The people of Duluth and the Eighth
district are with Mr.. Rosing and the
democratic ticket. He will be the re-
ciuient Of a landslide at the polls which
will include the entire local and con-
eressional tickets. The prospects for
the election of Capt. Marcus Fay. DEM
ncrafic candidate for congress, are
daily growing brighter. The people of
Duyuth and the ranges know and trust
Tar9. Fay, as do the voters of the
Southern portions of the district.

cause is taken up by the people, re-

FOUGHT FOR BIPARTISAN BENCH
o'Brien and Michael Saved the Judi
ciary From Politics.


The voters of Ramsey county are
confronted with the task of selecting
two judges for the district bench at
the coming election; also with the
problem of keeping the Judiciary out
of politics.
The question of personal fitness will
appeal but little to the average citi-
zen in the campaign now on. The pri-
mary election law has made it impos-
Sible for the dominating parties in
convention to protect the Judiciary
from politics, as has been the custom
for several years Both parties were
compelled to put judicial candidates
in the field. On both tickets the can
didates are good men.
The daty of keeping the covenant
entered into by the Democrats when
faithfully kept is transferred to the
people. If the Democratic candidates
are elected. the Ramsey county bench
will be equally divided so far as party
lines go. IF the Republican nominees
are elected the bench will stand five
Republicans and one Democrat. No
Two men in Romsey county or the
state have done more to keep the jul
dietary free from the faint of partisan
politics than T. D. O'Brien and J. G.
Michael, the Democratic nominees
In 1894, when the Democrats were
in power in Ramsey county, they nomi-
mated Judges Kelly and Brill to keep
the bench. equally divided on political
lines. They could have nominated
candidates from their own party and
elected them An element of the party
was inclined to take that course. u.
D. O'Brien, as chairman of the organi-
zation, fought the movement to the
last ditch and J. C. Michael refused to
accept a nomination to the bench on
the ground that such nomination would
result in destroying the balance and
put the bench in politics.
In 1896 things political went to the
Republicans with a swing-given i'm
petus by the national and state cam
paigns. y: They elected Judges Kerr
and Lewis. With the retirement of
Judge Otis, the Ramsey county bench
has only one Democratic judge The
election of Messrs. O'Brien and Michael
is duty the people of Ramsey county
owe themselves.
