Joel P. Heatwole's open stand against
Senator Moses p. Clapp is the sensation
senator has been a matter Of common
report for some time, but the first open
statement of it was in the interview in
yesterdays J o urnal.
{ Mr.. Heatwole says the interview was
all rot" Perhaps it was. 1t is not
necessary to quarrel over that point, but
the fact remains that Mr. HeatWole said
it, openly, in the presence of a Journal
man, in the lobby of the Merchants hotel
Tuesday evening. Not only that, but he
talked in the same strain to others, and
his utterances were known to a number
OF people yesterday before T h e GU r.
a was on the street Z;
Mr.. Heatwole said it because he was
mad, and mad all thru, at the Clamp men
In his own county, who are going to carry
the county for Collins. He blames 1t all
to the senator himself, altho Senator Clapp
has kept still, and, so far as can be
learned, has not interfered in any way.
His friends have satisfied themselves that
the Dunn Heatwole organization is hostile
to the senator, and have acted accord
ingly. >- -, : !.
1t was reported yesterday that Mr..
HeatWole had made special trip to Min
neapolts this week for the purpose Of get
ting some local man to come out as d can :
didate. He did not send a message this
time thru c. H Pierce, but came HIM
self, and waited on three prominent re-
publ1cans OF Minneapolis, one after the
| other, urging each one to become a can :

| The HeatWole outbreak has caused all
sorts OF trouble about the Dunn head
quarters. After the managers efforts 10
bottle up their candidate, another cam
| palgn blunder5 is made by the head man
| ager himself. For 1t is admitted nv MANY
Dunn men that it Is one of the worst
things that could happen. Many CIapp
men have been supporting Dunn and have
refused to believe that the Dunn organ
lzatlon carried any danger for the senator.
NOW that the purposes of the combination
are admitted by Heatwole himself. thew
are ready to throw up their hands.
Some are inclined to think that the
Heatwole interview had a purpose and
that they hope to frighten Senator Clam
into calling off his friends and bringine
men enem all PACK into a deal with Dunn The
| Trst consideration Of the combine is to
nominate Dunn. If that fails, their whole
game IS lost, and they are ready to make
any concessions that will land Dunn
However, Heatwole wants to be senator
and he has wanted for some time to

Ing that his chances will be better if h.
gets into the game at this time. #
| seems more likely that he declared him
self because he was satisfied that tha
Clapp organization was against them any,
way and that he might as well make tha
hight in the open as under cover. esne-
cially after his designs had come to Be
so well known, - - saseS

his friends in the Temple Court assemble

This frank statement from Mr.. Dtck,n.cr;
whose reputation for veraeity is beyond reproach
IS rather Significant, and now the question comes
before the people Of the state Of Minnesota
