FIXING IT FOR DUNN
Eligibility of / 500 Men to Vote
viii Be Determined

A novel question is scheduled to
come before Judge w. s. McClenehan,
of the Fifteenth judicial district, at
Brainerd, on Monday of next week.
The eligibility of 1900 men to vote will
be passed on by the court.
The Democratic state committee has
been advised of the situation and re-
quested by local candidates in Cass
county, where the men are at work, to
assist in securing a determination of
the eligibility of the men to vote at
the state election.
The men are at work on the Chippe-
wa Indian reservation near Walker,
cutting pine. and when Nov. 8 arrives
they will have been on the reservation
from one to forty days. Their homes
are said to be out of the county, and
some of the number live out of the
state. No registration has been made
of them and the election judges are
said to be Indians and half breeds. Ac-
cording to custom, these people are
permitted to vote and no questions
asked.
j. b. Spencer, of Walker, a candidate
for county commissioner, has begun
an action in the district court at Brain
erd to restrain the tfanSients on the
reservation from going on a petition
for an independent candidate to run
against him. It is alleged in his petit
ton. that many of the signers on the
nominating petition of an independent
candidate opposed to his candidacy are
men employed by the big lumber COM
panies working on the reservation.
His attorney contends that it is inn
possible to acquire a legal residence ON
the reservation and that these men
have no citizenship rights In the coun-
ty in which they are attempting to ex-
ercise the elective franchise.
1t is asserted that the instructions
from the employers to the 800 men
cutting reservation pine are to vote
for Dunn" Friends of the Democratic
state and congressional nominees are
planning to take steps to prevent He
gal voting in Cass county, If it should
develop that local authorities are not
able to successfully contend with the
local conditions.

BADGER AHEAD IN
COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
Village of Roseau Loses In
Appeal to the Supreme
Court

BY decision of the supreme court.
handed down yesterday by Judge
Charles L. Lewis, the judgment of the
lower court of Roseau county is af-
firmed and the county commissioners
of that county are required to proceed
with the machinery Of the law invoked
in county seat removal petitions.
Arne II. Fess, representing the vii
lage of Roseau, the present county
seat, appealed from district court
decision which declared that it is not
necessary that affidavits to a petition
to the county board for the county seat
removal should include a statement
that the parties executing the affida-
Wits are signers of the petition. A Sec
ond point from which he appealed was
ruling that official publications Of the
intention to circulate the petition was
not required in more than one paper
printed in the county.
Badger is fighting for the removal
Of the county seat of Roseau county
from Roseau, the present county seat,
and the appeal to the highest court of
the state was an incident in the bitter
fight. The syllabus follows:
Arne H. Fess. appellant. VS.. Board OF
County Commissioners of Roseau Coun-
ty. Minnesota, respondents.
Syllabus-It Is not jurisdiction pre-
requisite that the afTidavits attached to a
petition for the removal of county seat
(section 647, General Laws 1894), include
a statement that the parties executing
the afidavits are signers of the petition.
Publication of the notice OF intention
to circulate such petition is required in
but one legal newspaper in the county.
Judgment affirmed. Lewis, j.

Senator Knox has been at some pains
hitherto to prove that with all his learn

allegations of the complaint not denied

course he would. If he can do so now
he is invited to.
This interview was intended to create
a cloud of dust behind which he hoped to
hide the charge he did not answer, and

vast sums of money have been contrib

sion, as on Others referred to the fact that

against illegal combinations. He says the
law is insufficient, and argues that, there

The senator is not ingenious. II he had

HITS THE SALOONS
CounciI Adopts the Clark Or.
dinance by Decisive Vote

By vote of II to the Minneapolis
city council last night adopted the Or
dinance which provides that when
liquor license is revoked by the mayor
or the council only one-half of the fee
for the uneXpired time shall be re-
turned, and when the license is re-
Voked by the court there is no refund.
This ordinance repeals the present
ordinance which permits refundment
of the entire amount of the fee for
the uneXpired time when the license is
revoked by the mayor or council.
Aid Clark, of the Eighth ward, is
the author of this ordinance, which has
had considerable opposition, but on
the eve of election it was sprung on
the council and all but one of the al
dermen who are candidates for re-
election voted for it to the great de-
light of the members of the Anti-Sa-
loon league, who were present in con-
siderable numbers.
David Percy Jones, president of the
council found it convenient to be pres
ent at the meeting last night, although
he has missed several sessions during
the city campaign.
The Clark ordinance is designed to
make it more difficult for liquor dealers
to secure licenses, for it provides that
in event of a violation of the ordinance
a second time the court has no alternative
but to revoke the license and the entire
fee is forfeited. This is said to be pre-
liminary to a closing of the saloons on
Sunday should Aid. Jones be elected
mayor of Minneapolis
The council revoked the license of the
notorious Columbia theater, now the EN-
pire. operated for many years by ]. c.
Sodini, but the matter of revoking the IL
cense of the adjacent saloon was post
poned until the next meeting.
The four aldermen who voted against
the Clark ordinance were Mumn, Rand,
Gerber and Bow, two Republicans and
two Democrats. Aid. Ndumm is the only
one who is a candidate for reelection.

JONES WORKERS
BOOST SOCIALISTS
Adopt Every Possible Method
to Keep Votes From
Haynes

The Republicans of Minneapolis are
in a panic. They are striving to elect
their candidate for mayor, but they
realize they have a hard proposition
before them, for the leading members
of the party and the Republican pa
pers are endeavoring to sacrifice every
thing for the sake of carrying Henne-
pin county for the Republican candi-
date for governor.
This has caused a great row for the
Hennepin county Republican commit
tee, for the committee which Is COM
posed almost entirely of supporters OF
Robert c. Dunn are inclined to permit
the candidacy of David Percy Jones,
the choice of his party for mayor, to go
by default.
This is not to the liking Of the Jones
people, who were supporters of Judge
Collins, and they have risen in revolt,
but to no purpose.
They have adopted new tack to stem
the tide which is setting in the direc-
tion Of James c. Haynes, the DemocraIlc
candidate for mayor. They are helping
the Socialists-now called the Pubic
Ownership party-with the sinews of war
and other announcement. Never before
have the Socialists been in possession OF
so large a campaign fund and probably
they never win.
The Jones people realize that every vote
which is cast for NJ. n. Rogers, the Pub
lie Ownership candidate for mayor. would
not be cast for Jones, but, on the con-
trary, would be given to Mayor Haynes,
were there only two candidates in the
field For this reason they are at work
among the, Socialists and are trying to
encourage the people Of that party to
vote for Rogers, for every vote for Rog-
ers, who stands no chance Of election, is
a vote for Jones. since the Democratic
candidate is robbed of the ballot which.
under ordinary circumstances, would be
cast for him
