Roosevelt and Dunn.

The line up of the Republican and
Democratic parties in this State, so
far as the national and State tickets
are concerned, is now complete. It is
Roosevelt, the Republican, VS.. Par
ker, the Democrat, for the presidency
of the United Sites, and Dunn, the Re-
publican, VS.. johnson, the Democrat,
for governor of Minnesota. There
are several other national tickets in
the field, Prohibitionists, Socialist,
ETC., but none of them will cut any fig
ure, the fight is squarely between the
Republican and the Democratic can
didates. The same thing may be said
as to the Republican and the Demo-
cratic candidates for the various State
offices for there are no big State side
shows and there will not be much
time spent by either party in an at
tempt to form alliances with the small
fry aggregations. The question
squarely put is do you want Roosevelt
or Parker for president, or do you
want Dunn or Johnson for governor?
For our part we will be satisfied with
Roosevelt and Dunn. -Madison indie

on east and SOUTH or cuttings all
around" means that the timber on
lands adjoining the State lands had
been cut and that in consequence the
State timber was in danger of fire
originating in the "slashings" on
these adjoining lands.
In one of his former reports Mr..
johnson makes a great ado over the
fact that bark marks were not con-
tanned in several of the permits when
the same were recorded in the State
auditors Office. All [ have to say in
reply is that lumberman who would
dump his logs into stream or lake
without properly marking the same
would be fit subject for lunatic
asylum. How in the name of common
sense could the logs be identified at
the boom if they were not properly
marked? The letters MIN must be
stamped on all logs cut on State
lands, and as a matter of self protec-
ton, if for no other reason, the owner
must affix some other mark to enable
him to distinguish and claim his prop
erty.
1t has been asserted that I ought to
have asked the legislature for an ad-
ditional appropriation. It was all
we could do to hold the appropriation
at $4,000 to say nothing about in
creasing it. Out OF that s12,OO we
had to pay for appraising. advertis-
ing and selling State lands, caring
for the mineral output and protecting
the States timber.
When Mr.. Johnson's first report
was turned over to Attorney General
Douglas, and that conscientious
official was urged by both the COVER
nor and the public examiner to CON-
mence suits, am reliably informed
that Mr.. Douglas said there was moth
ing in Johnson's report to base an
action on. [ might say more on this
subject, but will forbear for the. pres
ent.
During my administration I exer-
clsed every care to protect the States
timber and realized the highest prices
obtainable, and never sold a stick of
timber save at public sale as provided
by law. No Partially was. shown any
man or firm by me. I treated all
alike. That mistakes and errors of
Judgment were made I will not deny,
but [ reiterate that in every instance
| acted for the best interests of the
State according to the best of my
knowledge and belief. Every dollar
collected for trespass, whether it was
two dollars or eleven thousand dol
lars, is accounted for and was paid
into the State treasury, and no at
tempt was made to cover up or con-
ceal any transaction, and the records
OF the Office were always open to any
one for inspection.

GROSS MEASUREMENTS.
That is What State Auditor S, G. Iyerson
Certifies JohnsOn's Report to Be.

That is What State Auditor S. G. Iverson
Certifies Johnson's Report to Be.
In the report is given a statement
certified as being absolutely true and
correct, by State Auditor S. G.. liver
son. This statement includes every
item mentioned in the report of Pub
lie Examiner Johnson relating to
State timber and takes them up
seriatim, in the order in which they
are given in the public examiners
report. This statement has been
made under the direct and personal
supervision of the State Auditor, S.
u. lverson, who has checked every
item and statement and is absolutely
correct, as shown by the books and
records of the State aditor's Office.
1t shows that the statements made by
the public examiner are false and I'M
true and that his assumptions and
conclusions are unwarranted and mis-
leading in every particular. It also
shows that the public examiner is en-
tirely ignorant of the timber business
in general and the States timber
business in particular as is shown
by the false construction he places
upon terms in common use in the lum-
Der industry. For instance, he pre-
tends to believe, and would have the
public understand that the term ''new
cutting commonly used by timber
cruisers to designate timber which has
never been cut, means that such tim
Der has been cut or partially cut. He
also pretends to believe and attempts
to convey the impression, that when a
State cruiser. after making an exam
ination of State timber land, reports
"cutting on south and east, - that this
means that the timber on the State
land has been cut on the east and
south, when as a fact, such a report
means what it says, namely, that tim
Der on the lands adjoining the State
lands on the east and south, had
been cut. It is stated by employees
in the State auditors Office that the
meanings of these terms were ex-
planned to the public examiners as
sistants but that they disregarded all
information and explanation.
Any citizen possessed of ordinary
intelligence is invited to take the GER
titled statement of State Auditor S.
G. Iverson and compare it, item
by item, with the published report
OF the public examiner, and by so
doing can satisfy himself of the utter
falsity of the statements made by the
public examiner.
For the benefit of citizens who have
not the time to make complete COM
parison as suggested. attention is
drawn to a few cases illustrative of
the falsehood and misrepresentation
of the public examiners report. The
