ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 20, 1904.
Does any sensible person believe
that Mr.. Thomas Lowry of Minneapo-
lis will keep his hands out of the next
senatorial fight?
Mr.. Eddy's champion is quoted as
saying that Dunn's strength will all
go to Eddy after the first ballot. It
may be superfluous after the first bal
lot.
The prison Irvine plant will manu-
facture nine million pounds of Irvine

the combine prices, saving the farm
ers of Minnesota S36O,OOO.

There is no truth in the story that
the appointment of j. J. McCardy of
St. Paul as auditor of the postoffce
department. will stir up trouble. Mr..
McCardy's eminent fitness has dis
armed all criticism in advance.

No Republican in this State who op-
poses President Roosevelt this year
will ever be heard of again politically.
Minnesota stands pat for the presi-
dent first and last and has no second
choice.
No-aene objects to Governor Van
SAINT going as a delegate to the Ma
tional convention, but many good Re
publicans will resent the insinuations
that he is the only man who can be
trusted to see that Roosevelt is not
betrayed in Minnesota.

The Minneapolis journal is so busy
asking questions of Mr.. Dunn that it
has no time to ask Mr.. James A. Mar
tin if he remembers his attitude to
Samuel r. Van SAINT in 1900.

The supreme court closed the Octo-
Der term last Friday. There were POI
cases on the calendar.
If the U. S. supreme court refuses
jurisdiction in the States merger suit
a decision to that effect will be made
inside of ten--days. If no decision is
had by that time it means that the
State has won this point.

While Mr.. Dunn's friends continue
to call for that long-promised report
on the investigation of the auditors
office, Examiner Johnson remains
silent Mr.. Johnson isn't making
good his promise to put Dunn out of
the race.

State Librarian Nelson is greatly
agitated because SO few Republican
papers are supporting r. c. Dunn.
He had better be counting up those
which are for Collins. His own and
Alvah Eastman's are not the press of
the entire State. go
