1900, when the value OF such exports was
$163, $780, $50. Our export trade is mot on
the down grade,' as asserted by some
Wall street pessimBts. The falling off

MINNESOTA POLITICS

1t was not necessary for Governor Van
SAINT to deny the absurd story sent t., from
washington to a morning paper ito the
effect that he and Thomas Lowry were
going after Senator's Nelson and Clapp.
1t carried denial its face, as| much
as the statement that James A. Peterson
was committed to the Lowry candidacy,
which caused both gentlemen to- laugh.
derisively. However, in ., denying, the
story, Governor Van SAINT had the OPP
portunlty publicly to express his -;regaraI
for Senator Nelson, and he improved 1T
to the utmost. He said: 4 ::
Senator Nelson is easily the foremost
man in Minnesota, and one Of the ablest
senators in congress. I predict that he
will be :renominated by acclamatidn, and
overwhelmingly reelected. e. :
!. "The idea that I could have any show
to win against him on an anti-merger
platform is the merest moonshine. No
man is more opposed to the unlawful
combination of parallel and competing
lines Of railway than Senator, Nelson. If
any doubts this let him read his speeches
made during the recent campaign. He
spoke In no uncertain terms.
Since l have been in politics i have
been accused Of a good many things,
but I%have never been charged with in
gratitude, and personally I am Indebted
to Senator Nelson for his splendid sup
port, and it is within bounds to SHY that
in 1900 without his valuable services the
small margin Of 1900 would have entirely
disappeared. No one contributed to the
good victory last November mo1e than
he. Realizing the deep obligation I am
for him first, last and all, the time -
This leaves no doubt as to where the
governor stands on the Nelson question
AS to Senator Clapp, their relations are
known to be very friendly. They are not
very close politically and Clapp used his
influence FOR Babcock in,sthe speakership
fight, but should Heatwole try to dis
place Senator Clapp, the Van SAINT in
f1uence would be for Clapp.
The anti-Clapp campaign from now or,
until the issue is fairly joined will be to
encourage the entrance of favorites sons
! from all parts of the state. It is already
being whispered about that Tawney and
McCleary will be candidates., as well as
Heatwole, that Hennepin will be split,
with Lowry in the field, and that Clapp
will have an opponent right at home in
Hiram F. Stevens. The more the mer-
| rier, for the first consideration is ito; make
Clapp a minority candidate. The next
task will be to unite the field.
