TAWN[Y DISCOVERS
TROUBLE IN. FIRST
X 49,
Democratic Candidate for Con.
yress Botherina Republican
Campaign Manager


Encouraging reports come CUP from
the First congressional district of the
friendliness being displayed by the
farmers of Freeborn and the adjoining
counties to the candidacy of H. C. Nell
son, Democratic candidate for congress
in the district.
Mr.. Nelson is prominent retired
farmer of Hayward, Freeborn county,
and is no stranger to the people of his
own county, while he has friends who
are out in an earnest effort in his be-
half in Steele, Fillmore, Mower and
the adjoining counties of the agricul-
tural First district
Mr.. Nelson represented the Fourth
senatorial district in the state senate
from 1891 to 1895, and made a splendid
record as a man who was amply
equipped to protect every interest
of his district in the state legislature.
1t was only after an earnest effort
on the part of his friends that he con-
scented to file for congress In his dis
trict, but now that he has entered the
race he and his congressional commit
tee, which is composed of representa-
tive men from the different counties of
his district, are determined to make
such showing that Congressman
James A. Tawney will be compelled to
come home and fight for his political
life.
Mr.. Tawney is in charge of the West
ern speakers bureau at Chicago for
the national Republican committee, but
advices from the First district say that
Tawney will have to give his personal
attention to his district this year to
hi dofn
"Mr. Nelson is a good campaigner,
broadly intelligent and with a facility
of public speech not frequently en-
countered in farmer" said c. II. Day,
of Albert Lea, yesterday. "The First dis
trict would be well represented by Mr..
Nelson in congress and the farmers OF
the district would have in him man
who is in close sympathy with. them,
and who knows the needs Of the dis
trict" = - = s-Ss cs

cold wave which spread over the
Canadian Northwest last night, aprac-
tically running much of the wheat still
standing. In Manitoba the loss is esti-
mated at rs or 80 per cent of the crop.
The desire to buy was increased by

The buying was on so heavy a scale
that it was almost impossible to fol-
low the market.
AS the session advanced causes of
fresh grief for the bears appeared.
Primary receipts showed nearly, a 80
per cert decrease compared with a
year ago, and private advices from the
Northwest regarding threshing returns
were distinctly disappointing. On the
urgent demand prices rose rapidly, at
times, fluctuations being n cent to u

INDICATIONS FAVOR
FRANK HIGGINS
His Nomination for Governor by New
York Republicans Seems Likely

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 1s.-Unless
the forces behind the candidacy of
Lieut.. Gov. Frank w. Higgins change
position before vote is taken there is
every indication of his nomination by
the Republican state convention to
head the state ticket as candidate for
governor. But one name is mentioned
in opposition, that of former Lieut..
Gov Timothy L. Woodruff. All talk
of third candidate has been aban-
doned and tonight the contest lies be-
tween these two men. Gov. Odell and
his friends are outspoken in their adj
vocacy of Mr.. Higgins, and in poll
issued tonight claim to have 709 votes
assured in his favor. The conventions
vote is 974.
Senator Plat and Mr.. Woodruff's
advocates do not by any means admit
this situations and state most emphat-
ically that they will carry the fight to
the floor of the convention. Many be-
lieve, however, that Mr.. Higgins will
be the unanimous nominee of the con-
yention.

valuable reference work. and in the i'm
probable event that I shall want to con-
suit the directory Lean easily borrow a

G. H. Widen.
Congressman James T. McCleary's
happy habit of writing letters to his
constituents has on occasions caused
him embarrassment Notable instances
are when he wrote H. j. Miller as to
the grasshopper plague in Egypt, and
to Gen. Gustav H. Widell, of Mankato,
in reference to- proposed gift of a
handsomely bound copy of the Con-
gressional Directory for 1904
On opening his mornings mail one
day not long ago Gen. Widell found a
letter from Congressman McCleary, in
which the Mankato stone contractor
was told that he was about to re-
ceive through the congressional cour-
stesy an extensively bound copy of the
Congressional Directory for the cur
rent year. ~
The binding is. expensive and there
are but limited number of the vol
un1es at the disposal of each congress-
man." it lis said the Second district
congressman wrote, @and you will
oblige me by saying nothing about the
gift. as I do not want to he embar-
raised by requests for additional cop
les that cannot fill.
Gen. WideH was pleased at the spe-
cial mark of the MankatO congress-
mans esteem, and prepared to receive
the book printed and bound at govern
ment expense. But he was destined to
be somewhat disappointed in his be-
lief that he was being signally and
exclusively honored by the congress-
man.
Down at his extensive stone quarries
near Mankato the next day one of his.
quarry foreman confided in him the
knowledge that he, too, had been re-
membered by the congressman. But
don't say anything about it, the fore
man said. Mr.. MeCIeary is afraid
that too many people will want cop
les of the directory" Wideil widened
his eyes at the disclosure made by his
foreman, but said nothing.
Continuing his rounds of the works,
another foreman who could not con-
.ceals his pleasure at the receipt of i
volume Of the directory-stilI with
the exclusive binding that made cop
les so hard to obtain from the govern
sment printing office-told the owner of
the plant that f1e too, had been re-
membered by Congressman McCleary.
Then Widell went back to his Office
and indited letter to Congressman
McCleary that read substantially as
does the one quoted above.

 The Telegraph's Tokio correspondent says the present delay Is more apparent than real, both as regards field and naval operations.

AS VIEWED FROM AFAR.
The Russian Hoard of Strategy Hard
 at Wopk

The Russian Board of Strategy Hard
 at Work.
 St. Petersburg, April 24--Apparently reliable information in the possession of the general staff leads to the belief that the objective of the Jepanese campaign does not involve the ambitious invasion of the interior of Manchurla with the pur- pose of reaching the Russian army.
 If the Japanese ever entertained the hope ot accomplishing task similar to that which Napoleon set himself. present advices indicate that they have abandon ed 1t, and have adopted much more cau- tious and less hazardous program. If this is correct, there would ben advance of the army toward Mukden, with it's at- tendant lengthening and weakening of the Japanese line of communication. Instead. there seems to be a determination to stick as close as possible to the sea, where lies Japan's natural base. she having es- tablished herself in Korea.
 The general stan say the Japanese still have three oSjects-the establishment of a line across Liao Tung peninsuiar for the purpose of cutting off Port Arthur. the isolation of vladivostok, and the es- Id blshment of a junction between the army of Korea and the force at the head ssf khe Liao Tung peninsular.
 TIA last mentioned movement might be {.Iccepknd by landing near the south or 'srA Yang river. which, by threatening ths flank of the Russian position at Geng Hu, might render 1t untenable and make the advance of a column from Korea comparatively easy. If these plans should succeed, the life of both Russian squad '=ons would be menaced and with the sea and a fleet back of her, Japan could for tofy the positions thus gained and with the tables turned compel General Kuro- patkin to come forward and attack.
 General Kuropatkin, however. Is in po- session of the latest advices received by the general staff and 1t is safe to assume that If the Japanese campaigns develop along the lines indicated he will be ready to make such disposition of his forces as will meet 1t
