The contest for the legislature
between Ashur Murray and
County Treasurer VIM. Dover,
of Wadena county, is keeping
things at the usasal political boil
ing point in Wadena county. Mr..
Murray appears to have consid-
erably the best Of it IN Wadena
county and the Pioneer Journal
declares that he WilIcarry Todd
county despite that county's re-.
cent endorsement of Dover.
A few newspapers keep on
harping upon the theme of
Dunn's opposition to Clapp. Mr..
Dunn has publically declared
that if elected governor he will in
no way attempt to influence the
appointment Of a United States
senator. Mr.. Dunn kept his
word in every instance with the
people of Minnesota during the
eight years he was a public Off
cial and there can be no reason
for doubling that he will keep it
now.
| One of the remarkable things
in Minnesota politics this year
was the clean sweep made by
/ Dunn in Clearwater county. The
county was claimed for Collins
from the first and Dunn gave it
absolutely no attention. Yet
Dunn carried every precinct in
the county but one. In reality
the people of the county were in
clined to Dunn although nearly
all the leaders were Collins men.
| The carrying of the county for
Dunn in the face of these facts
was as pretty a piece Of political
maneuvering as one often sees.
L. H. Bailey, who says that he
can vote Bemidji any old way he
pleases any old time, is out of
town-in St. Paul-Where he is
said to be iudustriously whisper
ing this fact in the ear of Sena-
tor Clapp, chairman of the recent
republican state convention, as a
reason why he should be APP
pointed state committeeman for
this district If Mr.. Bailey is
really candidate for the place
his eminent services on behalf of
Mr.. Dunn and his friends at the
state convention will doubtless
recommend him highly for the
| place.

Summer Term Adjourned.

j. j. Cameron is home from
Grand Rapids, where he has
been reporting a term Of the dis
trict court for Judge McClenna-
han. The term was adi ourned
after concluding all it's business
Saturday. The term covered
quite a little important litigation
and Judge McClennahan held
night sessions to complete the
calendar. An important case on
the criminal calendar resulted in
the conviction of Warren Clarke
and Frank Connick of highway
robbery. Both were sentenced
to ten years at Saltwater. The
robbery was committed in Grand
Rapids last December.

official County and City Paper

Official County and City Paper
Observation-Disclosures acknowledgements
SUBSCRIPTION So PER YEAR
Do Themselves Discredit.
There are three or four well
known Minnesota newspapers
which are doing themselves a
great deal of discredit by the Of
fensive way in which they are ac-
ceptiug the nomination of Robert
G. Dunn for governor. These
papers supported Judge Collins
and the smart of defeat is so
great that they are now impugn-
ing their own repu blicanism.
Speaking Of Dunn's nomination
one of them this week says:
Desperate methods were
put into practice and vicious
precedents were established
to bring about this result.
Elsewhere in the same article
it intimates that Mr.. Dunn's
nomination was not honorablv
and fairly secured.
Why a reputable newspaper
will persist in such statements
in the face of facts is unexplain
able. The nomination of Mr..
Dunn was made certain by the
vote Of the convention upon the
question as to the adoption of the
minority report of the commit
tee on credentials. The vote was
a fair and square test Of the
Dunn and Collins forces. On
this ballot the Dunn men cast
6221 votes or 33d more than a
majority.
This vote was taken under the
rules laid down by the state cen
trail committee, Collins body,
and the rules had been made as
favorable to Judge Collins as the
ingenuity of the com mittee could
devise. The state central com.
mittee itself upset all precedent
by the adoption of the rule that
contrasting delegations should be
allowed seats and votes in the
convention. Under this rule
Anoka county cast ten votes for
Dunn, Beltrami county ten votes
for Collins and Cass and .Roseau
counties nine and eight votes re-
spectively for both candidates.
Suppose the usual rule had been
followed; Dunn would have lost
the votes of Anoka, Cass and
Roseau counties, a total of
twenty-seven and his vote would
have been 595a or six and one
half votes more than enough to
nominate.
At all times in the convention
Dunn had more than enough
votes to nominate entirely out
side of the contested counties.
Had Collins been given every con-
tested delegate Dunn would still
have had votes to spare. The
Collins and Eddy strength com
bined never had enough votes to
nominate anybody.
The machinery of the party
was entirely in the hands of the
Collins men. Nobody but they
had any opportunity to do any
thing that was dishonorable or.
unfair. All Bob Dunn had was
the votes. The only thing that
the Collins people did not have
was the votes.
The nomination of Robert G.
Dunn was made as fairly and
squarely as was ever any nomi-
nation made under the sun. The
Collins newspapers should quit
their intimations to the contrary
