which will commend itself
to everyone-old soldiers in

of the affair is taken from the
news columns of the. Minnea-
polls Journals % a

If he can enjoy himself that
way, let him do it. If he wants
to spend his pension money
that way, let him. He has

and he might as we'll enjoy

while he cam" v
- Robert C.sDunn Of Princeton,
candidate for the republican
nomination for t governor,
made this declaration Satur-
day night before a meeting of
the Union Veterans and Sons
League. The candidates. had
been invited there to answer
some questions, and one of
them referred to withholding
the pension money from in
mates of the Soldiers home.
This question called forth the.
remarks quoted, and was re-.
sponsibIe for sensation.
Judge L. w. Collins, another.
candidate for governor, and.
himself an old soldier, followed
MIR. Dunn. He replied with
some .heat.-~"No old soldier
he said, will thank a man for
making such statement, No
old Soldier even il. he gets
drunk, will approve such a.
sentiment when he is sober."'s
Stepping to the front of the
platform. with dramatic effect
Judge Collins demanded to-
know whether any one in the
bal approved lie sentiments
Altho4it had been applaudeds
no one accepted the challenges;
Mr.. Dunn in his speech
promised. to do everything for
the old soldiers, and pledged
himself to appoint one of their
number as "a successor to the
present public examiner. Hell
also declared that he would
stand by whatever, platform
should be adopted by the rel
publican state convention.
&ss Judge Collins also answered
all the--questions propounded.
He said he would enforce the
law requiring old soldiers to be
shown the preference In APP
pointments, and that there, |
should never have been any
necessity for such a law. He |
was il favor Of inmates of |
the Soldiers home retaining |
their pension money, if the
major part of it should go to
their families dependent on
the1n, and he would not veto a
a bill requiring the board to |
turn over the pension money.

Judge Collins said he would |
stand on it if nominated, but |
he would never agree TO a
platform repudiating Governor
