his condition was no: one seemed to
know.
When Mr.. Mason broke out with the
disease yesterday, the awful truth dawn

VAN SAINT SUGGESTS
BODY LIE IN STATE

Gov. S. r. Van SAINT did not learn of
Gov. Ramsey's death until nearly mid
night, but Immediately on being ap-
prised of the fact he sent a special
messenger to the state capitol to have
the flag placed at half mast.
1T grieves me greatly to learn of
Gov. Ramsey's DEATH" said Gov. Van
SAINT. ITO my mind. and I think 1
speak for the entire state in that re-
spect, Gov. Ramsey was easily the
foremost man in Minnesota. Pennsyl-
Vania, his home, recognized his talents
by naming him congressman twice.
Minnesota honored him in many other
ways and every bit of it was due
him.
While never associated politically
with him. yet knew him personally,
and it was my delight to visit him
frequently. Gov. Ramsey is worthy a
great funeral, and hope the family
will permit the body to lie in state
at the capitol that every person in the
state may take a last look at his face.
We all loved him. and I know we
would all like to see him before he is
consigned to the tomb. 1 shall make
it my business tomorrow to PERSONAL
ly call upon the family and ask their
ViewS-in the NATTER
