Mankato, Mimi, Nov. 3.-They can It

The Republican gubernatorial cam
paign in this county is. pure bluff
matter Of form. The fight has. long
been overs here. It only remains to
count the votes. -... =. =
Dunn spoke here last night before
a large audience, but it was cold,
critical audience, and he made no votes.
After the meeting one of the most influ-
entail business men in Mankato, who
had attended in the hope that he might
at the eleventh hour be persuaded to
vote for Dunn, declared that the can
didate speech had finally decided
him to vote for Johnson.
After the meeting Mr.. Dunn got into
a public dispute with several travelling
men who thought that he had slurred
the fraternity in his speech. Angered
by the hot ,cross-questioning Of the
travellers, Dunn finally left them in a
care for the whole crowd of them. Be
fore this dispute, there were a few
votes for Dunn in the bunch; afterward
there were none.
Congressman Fred Stevens tried ir
vain to smooth over the situation.
This little incident is significant. L
explains a large part of Dunn s unpop
ularity. l have been amazed at thu
disaffection to Dunn among the repub
licans of this county. Scores of then

county when so many republicans have

sides and voicing the republican disaf
lection by personal inquiry, I am con

Judge Parker's charges have aroused
