A DECLARATION THAT DECLARES.

In a recent interview in reply to
attacks made on him by the opposi-
ton, charging him with befriend-
ing the merging interests, Col. R.
G. Dunn said:
II believe that the preservation OF
competition between common carriers
is necessary to the commercial pros
perity of Minnesota No matter what
may be the outcome of the merger suit
now awaiting adjudication by the
United States supreme court, we must
all abide by that decision. However,
in case the final determination is adj
verse to the best interests of the state, /
shall urge the enactment of more effec-
tive legislation, such as will be for the
best interests OF the people.
eff any voter in the state thinks that
if am chosen governor / will be in
fluenced to act against the interests OF
the state by J. ]. Hill, Thomas Lowry,
or any magnate or corporation. or in
duced by them in the remotest degree
to do anythingdetrimentaI to the in
terests of the people of Minnesota, it is
the bounden duty of that individual to
oppose my nomination and election at
the primaries and at the polls.
"In view Of my past record, and my
expressed declarations on this question
it is unjust, unfair and dirty politics
for anyone to endeavor to influence the
people.against me in the manner that
is being attempted on this issue"
