IN TODD COUNTY.
Dunn Strength Developing Rapidly in that
County.

Dunn Strength Developing Rapidly in that
County.
Notwithstanding all newspaper talk
to the contrary the Collins people are
not having things all their own way
over in Todd county and the predic-
ton is made that things will happen
along about convention time that will
be rather surprising to them. We are
in position to know considerable of
the sentiment among the people of the
eastern part of the county as to a
choice between Collins and Dunn. and
can safely say that several of our
neighboring towns over the line, to
the west contain a much stronger
Dunn following than is agreeable to
the Collins managers. For instance,
out around Lake Beauty and Pillsbury
there are several of the most prominent
people, who have always carried con-
siderable influence in the political af-
fairs of their neighborhood, are avowed
Dunn supporters, and these together
with contingent of farmers who know
Dunn to be the tried and true friend of
the people, are aggressively working
in the interests of the Princeton can
didate. The same conditions are said
to prevail in many other localities of
the county. In fact those who have
been out over the county are express
ing the opinion that the Dunn senti-
ment has all along been greatly under
estimated, and it is not an improba-
bility that the Collins people may
not be able to send an instructed dele
cation to the State convention.

Order Acquainting Them With New Law
is Issued.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Bristow has announced that the
salaries of the rural free delivery
mail carriers will be adjusted on the
basis of the number of miles travelled.
The following statement regarding the
outside business privileges of the rural
carriers has been issued at the post
office department., and an order in ac-
cordance Herewith will be promul-
gated at once by the postmaster gen
eral:
'Under the law rural carriers are
not permitted to solicit business or
to receive orders of any kind from any
person, firm or corporation, and can
not, during the hours of their employ
ment, carry any merchandise for hire,
except that they may carry merchan-
disc for hire for and at the request of
patrons residing on their respective
routes, provided the same shall not in
terfere with the proper discharge of
their official duties.
''Under this provision of law no
mailable matter may be handled by
rural carriers while serving their
routes, unless the proper postage has
been prepaid, with the single exception
OF county newspapers, which are per-
mitted to be carried free throughout
the county in which they are published
to acual subscribers, and such news
papers addressed TO subscribers, resi-
dents on rural routes, must be depos-
tied at the postofice the same as pa
pers for other subscribers.
'The hire for merchandise carried
on request of the patron of rural free
delivery must be paid by the patron.
Carriers will not be permitted to re-
ceive any compensation from the sell
Ter of such merchandise. Articles or
packages which are mailable which
are handed to the carrier or deposited
in the postofice, or in rural letter
box, or in collection box located
on rural route, with requests that
the rural carrier deliver the same, are
subject to the rules regulating mail
matter, including the payment of post
age thereon.
Articles or packages that are not
mailable which the patron desires the
rural carrier to carry must be deliv-
cred to the carrier in person, and in
carrying merchandise for hire rural
carriers are not permitted to leave
their routes as officially laid out, or
to accept anything that will in any
way delay the delivery Of the mail, Or
in any way interfere with the efficiency
of the service.''

In answer to the question what effect
the bank examiners report has on
Dunn's condition in Hennepin county
Mr.. Smith said:
$50 far as I have been able to learn
it has increased his chances. Mr..
Johnson is a resident of Hennepin
county and therefore his peculiarities
are better known there than anywhere
else in the State. Johnson and Dunn
are political as we'll as personal
enemies. Mr.. Johnson is aware of
the fact, that if Dunn is elected COVER
nor. his first official act will be to ap-
point a new bank examiner. For these
reasons, any reflections cast upon
Dunn's official record by the bank
examiner; unless supported by facts
and these facts must be seen and not
heard, they will have the opposite
effect from that intended, and will
materially help Dunn instead of
harming him.
Do you think Dunn will carry Hen

"There is no man in the State of Min
nesota who has labored more loyalty
for the people, in season and out of
season, than Robert G. Dunn
''There is talk that he is the tool of
the corporation" continued the former
attorney general. II know of in
stances where he could have favored
the railroads and other corporations
and no one would have been the
wiser, but he was a great stickler for
the enforcement of the law-more so
than even myself, the attorney general
and it was through his insistence
that suit was brought and a large
amount of valuable lands recovered
for the State.''

there will not be a rat or mouse

Dunn is growing rapidly in public
favor in western Minnesota. I do
not hear much talk of any other can

course it is not proper for me to boost
Mr.. Dunn or any other candidate, but
I must say candidly that he is in the

Frank M. Eddy of Glenwood, in a
conversation with a member of the
house of representatives, who lives in
Minneapolis, said recently that
Robert G. Dunn of Princeton is far in
the lead of Judge Collins in the coun-
try districts. Mr.. Eddy told the
member of the house that even should
Judge Collins carry Hennepin county
he will not have enough delegates to
win at the convention.
Eddy told me the other day that
after travelling up one side of the
State and down the other he had come
to the conclusion that Dunn is far in
the lead in the country districts, !"

Eddy says Collins cannot be nomin-
ated even if he carries Hennepin. -

of Yore--Promising Outlook for Dunn.
| Oar F. Reese of st. Paul, former
clerk of the supreme court of Mime
sofa, who has been prominent in Re-
publican politics in the State for
years, arrived in Duluth yesterday on
his way to Bemidji, where he is to de-
liver an address this evening under
the auspices of the Dunn Republican
club of that city Mr.. Reese says that
"Bob" Dunn is sure to win the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, and
that he will be elected by very large
plurality.
II have talked with men from all
parts of the State during the past few
weeks" said Mr.. Reese, ''and I am
satisfied, from what can gather, that
Mr.. Dunn will have over 700 votes on
the first ballot. 1 believe that he will
carry Hennepin county, and if he does
he will be nominated by reclamation.
"Mr. Dunn's strength in the coun-
try is marvellous. Some sections of
the State that we're early considered
Collins strongholds are now certain
to be in the Dunn column. There is
every Indication that he will be one
of the most popular candidates that
ever aspired to the governorship of
Minnesota. He is popular with the
farmers and enjoys the confidence of
all classes. At the rate Dunn senti-
ment is growing, he may have enough
votes to nominate him outside of the
three principal cities.
"There is no truth in the story of a
COllins-Eddy-Eusti combine that was
printed by an evening paper. There
is no truth in it as far as Eustis is
concerned, at least. AS proof of that,
let me say that Judge John Steele of
Minneapolis, who is probably the
closest friend of Mr.. Eustis, and who
was chairman of the State central
committee and manager of his cam
paign when Eustis ran for governor,
is working hard for Dunn in this cam
paign. Others of Mr.. Eustis' friends
are working for Dunn. Eustis will
never go into combine to help out
| Collins.
''During Van SAINTS first campaign,
when the prospects were somewhat
dubious, Mr.. Dunn made a speech at
Milaca that served as a basis for
the campaign on the stump. Van SAINT
was elected by narrow margin. He
gave Dunn credit for having recon-
mended most of the important meas
ures acted upon by the legislature.
| ''We have long used Mr.. Dunn and
his record as one of the good reasons
why Republicans should be in power.
| Governor Van SAINT was elected the
second time by plurality Of Sc, 487,
and Mr.. Iverson, the present State
auditor, who ran for the Office on the
platform that he would continue the
policy of his predecessor, r. G. Dunn
was elected by a plurality of 78, 282.
We have used Mr.. Dunn to boost the
Republican party in the State, and
with success, and there is no reason
why he should not now be recognized
and allowed to benefit by his own rec

He Served the People.

1t is not surprising that r. G.. Dunn,
the Republican candidate for the nom
ination for governor, in the discharge
of his public duties as State auditor,
should have made powerful enemies
who will leave nothing undone to
bring about his defeat. He put his
duty to the people before everything.
Wherever the interests of the public
and the interests Of the wealthy or the
powerful conficted he was found on
the side of the people. He always
stood for the enforcement of the law,
and where he considered the law did
not properly safeguard public interests
he invariably urged it's amendment
A notable instance of this brought
him into collision with the most pow
erful of corporations, namely the steel
trust. When he became auditor of the
State he found upon the statute books
law which allowed mining corpora
tions to pay, in lieu of all the taxes,
one cent ton on their output of iron
ore. This law he insisted was uncon-
stitutiOnal as the tax collected I'M
der it was out of all proportion lower
than the trust would have to pay if it's
property were taxed on an assess
ment basis. AS result Of the agita-
ton commenced by him this law was
repealed and thereafter mining prop
critics were placed on valuation ba-
sis, although the trust fought the re-
form in the most determined way. In
this way the taxes on mining property
were raised from $4,000 to about
$780, annually through Mr.. Dunn s
efforts.
This is but single instance of the
reforms carried out in the peoples
interest by Mr.. Dunn, but it is a char
acteristic one. He never stopped to
measure the strength of his opponents
or to think Of the consequences of in
curing their enmity. He saw his duty
and he did it regardless of conse-
quences. Like Lincoln he regarded
our government as one by the people
and for the people. And the people
will always stand by the man who be-
lieves it his first duty to serve them.
There are many problems of taxa
tion still to solve and one of the most
important of them is how best to reach
corporate wealth SO much of which
now evades taxation. Mr.. Dunn pro-
poses a tax on their gross earnings
which is not only the most easily COL
lected but which is certainly the most
equitable. This view has been held
by Mr.. Dunn for many years, and he
has urged it repeatedly in his reports
to the legislature. In his annual re-
port for the year ending July 81, 1900,
Mr.. Dunn said: "If the amount of the
taxes paid by certain corporations
under a specific or committed method
was in proportion to the amount which
would be paid by them if their prop
erty was taxed on a valuation basis
in the usual way, it would now be pos
sible to support the State government
without the imposition of a direct tax. !"
There is no good reason why vcorpor-
ations should not contribute their fair
share towards the revenues of the
