There has been much said by
the Dunn opposition relative to
the expensive campaign which
the man from Princeton was
making and various insinuations
made that the funds were fur
nished by the Great Northern
Railway company, but it re-
manned for the editor of the
Wells Forum to make the follow
ing unwarranted attack:
s'The Bob Dunn shouters claim
that Bob is a poor man and can
not afford to make a long cam
paign. Then we would like to
know who is paying the salary of
his manager, who has opened
headquarters in St. Paul and is
carrying on an active cam paign
and expects to keep it up from
now until convention time next

and If Bob is so confounded
poor, it must be that his friend,
j. j. Hill, is paying the bills.
Dunn is the only candidate who
has opened headquarters thus
far ahead of convention time.
The fact is, he is the only one
who can afford it,

Two Sunsets n Day.

There is only one place in the world
where the sun sets twice daily, and that
is at Leek, in Staffordshire. The reason
of this is that jagged mountain is sit
uated to the west of the town, and in the
evening the sun sets behind IL and dark
ness comes on. Then is the fire. Surset,
the gas lamps are lit. and apparently
night has set in. But 1t has not, for in
the space of an hour or so the sun reap
pears again through the opening at the
side of the mountain and daylight again
appears Artificial lights are extin-
guished and daylight again prevails until
the sun descends below the opening and
the second sunset follows and night
