VAN SAINTS OPEN DECLARATION
He Is Openly Against 9abcoek-Hennepin
-. Abrogates Union Rule.

He Is Openly Against Rabcoek-Hennepin
-. Abrogates Union Rule.
Governor Van SAINT has spoken. He is
publicly on record as opposed to the cleo
ton of L. w. Babcock as speaker Of the
house. -. -..z~
For the past week the fight has taken
such direction that it became more and
more evident that the governor could not
keep out. The principles for which he
had fought were at stake. DR.. Babcock's
mainstays in his campaign, who would
have the greatest claim on him If sue
cessful, were men and interests bitterly
opposed to Ivan SAINTS pet measures - tax
reform, four per cent gross earnings tax on
railroads, and the preservation Of COM
petition between railroads.
So the governor expressed himself plain
ly to members of the house. AS stated In
T h Q Journ a yesterday, he expressed
himself strongly opposed to the cleo
ton of DR.. Babcock. Last evening he was
asked as to the truth Of the report in
T h e o urna l, and he said:
Yes, the report Is true. It was report
ed that was favorable to DR.. Babcock's
candidacy, and I have emphatically de-
MED it.
why should I be for him, when many
of the mer and influences that are active
in his support have bitterly opposed me
and the measures which I have adyo-
CdIcu. L 10 uOI ISISE 10 ul0ulDoTS OF INC
legislature, but to outside individuals and
influences. -
without going into details, feel OF
late that ar attempt is being made to
thwart the will of the people as expressed
at the polls. s~ ..s-
II do not wish, however, to be under
stood as saying anything against DR.. Bah
cock personally, but what is objected to
is his environments"
The governors frank statement created
joy in the Johnson camp. though he did
not mention the Hennepin candidate, and
produced a corresponding depression In
the ranks of DR.. Babcock. The doctor
himself gave out an interview in which he
expressed surprise, saying that he had
been given personal assurances from the
governor that he was taking no part In
the fight. He declared that in his belief
the matter was one entirely without the
province Of the chief executive Of the
state.
No Unit Rule for Hennepln.
Hennepin's caucus yesterday afternoon
was brief and undecisive AS expected the
unit rule was done away with, and this
without opposition from any one. All
were present except Bardwell, whose proxy
was held by Helliwell and Nolan, who had
given his to Fosseen. H. E. Fryberger. q
Babcock man, moved that the unit rule be
done away with. George NJ. Gillette, q
Johnson supporter. seconded the motion,
saying that Johnson's friends had no de-
sire to hold the others to an agreement
| against their will. The motion was car
ried unanimously, and the caucus adj
| journed. The Johnson men said its only
result was to release the four Babcock
men, but the latter declared that it meant
eight votes in Hennepin for Babcock.
With this majority, SO the johnson men
say, the Babcock men should not have de-
sired to do away with the unit rule.

Van SAINTS Avowed Disapproval Of
Babcock Strongly Affects the
Speakership Situation.
Only Argument Now Available
Against Johnson Is That He's
From Hennepin.

Still Insists That Babcock

johnson, smiling and confident; Bah
cock, defiant in the face of defeat; dark
horses still in the stables.
Such was the situation in the speaker
ship fight to-day. Governor Van SAINTS
positive avowal put a different face on
the situation. 1t left the Babcock men
with no ground. to stand on, and with no
argument except the plea against electing
a Hennepin man. They were sore. and
the more outspoken ones abused the gov
ernor without stint. DR.. Babcock said
he had nothing more to say and, even If
he had, the newspapers would not quote
him correctly. - ...t zs...-.E
effect on the doubtful members. Several
called at the governors office to get, it
straight" and were accommodated. The
governor told them all, straight from tho
shoulder, why he did not want the inter-
ests behind DR.. Babcock to win.
Third candidate talk has stopped. The
Babcock opposition is solidifying on john
son. 1t is realized now that the issue is
squarely drawn and that it must be John
son or Babcock.
! Seventh district members will caucus
as soon as all have arrived. Ten have
been definitely heard from and they stand
nine to one for johnson. Erickson and
| Rullifson are uncertain, but it is the con-
fdent belief, of the majority that at the.
finish the district will be unit for john
| son.
| The first district may caucus again, but
Burns and Lightly are fighting against
! it, fearing reversal. They have good
grounds for the fear. John Schwager,
| Jr., arrived last evening, and is in the
Johnson camp. It is believed that the
three from Winona county will stand to-
| gether by the governor, which will give
Johnson nine and a. possible ten out Of
! the fifteen from the first w. c. Frazer
! of Rochester says the dark horse talk
about himself is ''josh'' and that John
| son will win easily. r - a.,
HeatwoIe Still Hangs Out.

man in sight to-day was Joel p. HeatWole,
jiwho, declared sagely "Babcock: will WIN"

The. Public Not Opposed.

The disposition here IS to regard the
Hoar bill as satisfactory as far as it goes.
It might, however, go much farther thar
it does without exceeding the expectations
Of the general public. Senator Hoar did
not care to go beyond President Roose-
velt's publicity plan for the bill is almost
entirely devoted to the publicity propo-
sition which It covers thoroughly and sat
isfactorily. It is believed there is a chance
for such a bill at this session and the
combined efforts of 4he administration
senators are to be exerted towards putting
it through the senate as soon as possible
If the bill had been sweeping in its pro-
visions it is certain it could not pass the
senate but in the present form it IS not
likely to arouse SO much antagonism from
the trust representatives AS an opening
wedge for more drastic legislation, there
fore the bill is important. Future con.
crosses may extend its scope as oppor.

text of Senator Hears much advertised
antitrust bill comes notice from the
head of the judiciary committee Of the
house, Representative Jenkins of Wiscon-
sin, that the bill Is Of no account and that
the trusts have nothing to fear from it
and the people less to gain. It is Jenkins
committee to which the bill will be re-
ferred If it passes the senate. Mr.. Jenkins
himself Representatives Littlefeld Of
Maine and Overstreet of Indiana, all men,
bers Of the committee, and twenty three
other republicans, have antitrust bills
pending in the house and those of them
in town to-day are knocking Mr.. Hoar' s
bill. Jealousy is alleged as one reason.
Mr.. Jenkins and associates do not pro-
pose. SO it is asserted, to allow Mr.. Hoar
or any other senator to have the glory of
initiating antitrust legislation. Here is
what the Judiciary chairman says Of Mr..
Hoar's bill: >,
1.-The principal constitutional objections
to the Hoar bill are that it is a clear ex-
ercise of the police power of the govern
ment never conferred upon congress, but
expressly reserved to the states. In other
words, it assumes to exercise powers en-
joyed only by the states. It operates as
a restraint upon commerce, something be-
yond the power Of congress to do, as CON
gress has only the power to regulate
commerce between the states, and does
not have the right to restrict it.. 1t in

anteed by both state and federal consti.
