The State Campaign.

Politics have been at a fever
heat in Minnesota for more than
year. The fight for the re-
publican nomination for COVER
nor was most bitter one. The
same personal animosity and
the same impersonal hatred on
the part of the big corporations
has made the republican candi-
date for governor, Hon. Robert
G. Dunn, the target for the vilest
and most unreasoning attacks.
No campaign in the nation, since
it's beginning has been marked
by such disreputable tactics as
those employed in this campaign
against Mr.. Dunn. One by one
these attacks have been SHOWN
to be the most astrocious fase-
hood; but no sooner has the
truth shown the falsity Of each
low charge, than another. more
Infamous than it's predecessor
has been sprung. On so low and
mean a level has the opposition
to Mr.. Dunn conducted it's cam
paign that in the frenzy of it's
madness it has caused the vilest
SANDER against it's own candi-
date for governor to be pub
ished b roadcast over the state.
The majority of Robert G.
Dunn tomorrow for governor
will measure the rebuke of the
people of Minnesota to those who
pursue such disreputable tao
tics.

The Company They Keep.

But a man or a party may be
known by the company they
keep. The democratic candi-
date two years ago took stump
and voted for Mr.. Rosing the
merger candidate for governor,
the man that the railroads spend
money like water to elect. The
democratic candidate is support
ed this year by the great twin
city dailies owned by great cor
porations, by the Great North
ern Railroad, by the 500, by the
twin city street car lines, by the
twin city jobbing and wholesale
houses. That is the kind of COM
pany John A. Johnson keeps.
Mr.. Dunn the republican candi-
date, is opposed by every monied
interest in the state. His election
is going to be accomplished by
the farmers in the country and
the day to day toilers in the
towns and cities. That is the
kind Of company he keeps.
One candidate is a man who
has rendered inestimable SER
vices to party and state; the
other, man who has done what
he could to prevent any legisla-
ton calculated to benefit the
state. One is a man who is
acknowledged to be the best
posted man on state matters
within the state, the other, a
man whose speeches show that
he does not comprehend what
such great policies as drainage,
gross earnings tax, good roads,
etc. mean; one has repeatedly
proved himself the friend of the
common people Of the state, the
other is aided and supported by
the great monied interests Of the
state.
1t is up to the people to say
which sort Of a man they want to
serve them as governor Of the
state.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1904-11-07

ever rendered the state. Six
years in the senate and his rec
ord a blank! It is worse than a
blank. Not only has John A..
Johnson never done anything for
Minnesota but he has done every
thing in his power to defeat the
very measures upon which the
permanent prosperity of the
state depends. He voted and
worked and spoke against state
drainage, he voted against the
bill to prevent the Dissertation of
Memorial day, he voted and
lobbyed against the board of con-
troll bill, he sneeringly denounced
appropriations for good roads as
money spent for bicycle paths y
What sort of a governor would
this kind Of a man make anyhow?

The Man Who Does THINGS

The republicans of Minnesota
offer a candidate for governor
who is more worthy to be gov
ernor than any other man in the
state. His record as the best
state auditor that the state has
ever known stands today un-
challenged even by his oppo-
nents. He had rendered greater
services to the state than any
other living man. He is the au-
thor of most of the great laws
which have marked Minnesota
as one Of the most progressive
states of the Union. He knows
more today about the state Of
Minnesota, it's resources, it's pos
sibilities, it's needs, the best and
most economical methods of ad-
ministering it's business than
any other man in the state.
Such man is Robert G.. Dunn,
republican candidatef for governor
of Minnesota.

AT HOSPITAL MONDAY

shots. Councilman Ellsworth
Cork, who lives next door, heard
the shooting and rushed out as
the last shot was fired. He had
Davis carried into the house and
cared for until the Harrison
County hospital ambulance arriv-
ed and took him to the hospital.
At the hospital two operations
were performed, but no hope ex-
listed for his recovery and the
young man, who was conscious
most of the time, realized that
he had but a few hours to live.
He conversed with his father and
friends until he became uncOn-
scious at noon on Monday, in
which state he remained until his
death.
After the shooting Allen start
ed down the street, meeting two
officers to whom he gave himself
up, and was placed in Jail, where
he will await trial for murder.
Clarence Davis, the victim, was
born at Long Run twenty-eight
year S ago last August and was
well-known in Salem, as was AL
len, having lived here. The de-
ceased is survived by his father,
w. F. Davis, and brother, Ira, and
five half brothers and sisters. His
mother has been dead for a num-
Der of years.
Allen was relieved of his re-
volver at the Jail. 1t had six full
chambers, he having reloaded it
after shooting Davis. He abso-
lutely refuses to discuss the trag-
edy and maintains cool, indif-
ferent attitude. He will probably
have nothing to say until he Sc,
cures counsel and a line of de-
tense is determined upon.

their district representative, Capt.
A. w. Wagenknecht of Parkers-
burg, and Capt. Karnes of Graf

regarding the case, and arrived at
the conclusion that Linn was the
guilty party and through a thor

$50 in cash and two express pack
ages, duplicating his brother,
Earl Linn, of Fairmont, as an ac-
complete, who was arrested later
and both are lodged in the city
lookup.
The prisoners were taken be-
fore G. L. Lowther, Justice of the
Peace. They plead guilty and in
default of giving bail for $500,
were taken to the county Jail this
afternoon to await the action of
the grand jury which meets next

A full account Of the murder OF
Clarence Davis by Harvey Allen
at Clarksburg Sunday night is
given in the Salem Herald as fol-
lows:
Clarence Davis, who was shot
by Harvey Allen at Clarksubrg,
on last Sunday evening, died at
the Harrison County hospital
Monday afternoon at 4:l5
o'clock. The remains were
brought to Salem on the 1927
train yesterday morning and ia
ken in charge by Undertaken
Perrine, who removed them to
the home of the grief-stricken
father, w. F. Davis.
Funeral services were conduct
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
at the S. D. B. church, by Rev.
E. A. Witter, and interment
made in church burial ground.
The crime, as a result of which
Davis is now dead and Allen in
the Harrison county jail, took
place at Aliens home on West
Pike street, Clarksburg, on Sun
dav evening about 6 o'clock. d.
Wis and Allen were partners in
conducting a club room, over the
Metropolitan hotel, and it is al
legged that some difficulty had pre-
viously existed over the subject
of Davis familiarity with Aliens
wife. On Sunday evening Davis
was sitting in Aliens: parlor,
when Allen suddenly appeared
on the porch, and pulling a re-
volver, fired through the window
at Davis, the shot taking effect.
This shot did not disable Davis,
however, and he staggered to the
porch only to receive two more
