Sherman S. Smith, the big Minne-

petition for an order to show cause
filed in the supreme court, alleged was
not qualified resident of the Fortieth
Legislative district. will be a candidate
for the Office and his name will appear
on the official ballot for the election of

The supreme court. lin "a decision
handed down yesterday, declared that
the facts established Mr.. Smiths legal
residence in the legislative district in
which he is candidate by virtue of
the Republican primaries, and the or
der to show cause issued last week was
discharged.
The evidence was taken by George
F. Hitchcock, referee, and submitted
to the court. 1t failed to establish the
contentious in the petition filed. by
Slater. John III. Steele, attorney for
Smith, raised the point that the legis-
lature was the sole judge of its mem

LODGE TAKES ISSUE
WITH CULBERSON
Puts Different Interpretation Upon
RooseveIt's Letter to Shaw

QUINCY, Mass, Oct. 21.- Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge was the principal
speaker at a Republican rally here to-
night. He said
Nothing could show the desperate
and helpless condition of the Demo-
cratic campaign more strongly than the
publication under misleading headlines
of the presidents letter to Dr. Albert
Shaw which was read at public
meeting in New York last night by
Senator Culberson, of Texas. The let
ter demonstrates not that the president
was guilty of completely in the Pan
anna revolution, but that he had abso-
lutely refused to do anything when
could by any possibility be taken as
encouragement to the projects of revo-
luton.
"The effort is made to give the i'm
preston that this letter is something
new, just dragged from dark recesses
to throw light upon a shady transac-
ton. What are the factsz Just after
the revolution of Nov. 2 and 8, the OPP
position press freely charged that the
administration was guilty of completely
in fomenting and encouraging the rev.
olution. Thereupon the president di-
rected that this letter be given to the
press and published in order to show,
as it does show, that he had carefully
and scrupulously refrained from fo-
menting insurrection and the letter
was accordingly given out and pub
hshed just a year ago. The letter is
not new, it has been published before
and published by order of the presi-

FREEMAN WILLING TO
BET ON RENVILLE
Attorney From Olivia Forces Brown
County Senator to Change His Mind

s When J. M. Freeman, a prominent
Democratic attorney of Olivia, Renville
county, had yesterday completed a re-
counting of local conditions at Hector,
Olivia, Martinsburg and other points
in his county and the bright outlook
for John A. Johnson and f. G. Win
ston in that strongly Republican coun-
ty, Senator George w. Somerville, of
Brown county, offered to bet him 500
that r. c.. Dunn would carry the coun-
ty.
The incident occurred in the Wind
sor hotel lobby and Senator Somerville
had no sooner made the offer than Mr..
Freeman extracted his roll and began
to tear off the wrappers.
Senator Somerville too began to feel
in his pockets for his purse, but he had
a second thought that was much bet
ter than his first, and he did not pro-
duce the money with which to back up
the offer.
II guess I'll not bet on your county,
Freeman" he said with a laugh, and
the incident was over. Mr.. Freeman
put his money away with apparent re-
luctance.
Mr.. Freeman had just come from a
trip of two days with johnson and
Winston in which he accompanied
them through his own county and in
some of the neighboring counties. He
reports a series of splendidly enthusi-
astic meetings. ringing addresses and
every indication of landslide in their
favor in Renville and Yellow Medicine
counties.
Senator Somerville's home county is
said to be another Johnson and Win
Ston stronghold.

MURPHY EXPOSES
FOOT'S CANDIDACY
Declares M. L. Flnkelstein,
Pawnbroker. Is Behind His
Clerks Campaign

AT we'll attended meeting of Ninth
ward Democrats, held in Labor hall,
Park avenue and Sycamore street, E.
L. Murphy last night called attention
to some of the backing that Jesse Foot
is receiving in his canvass for the
position of county treasurer.
There is no question in my mind, or
in the mind of any other man who has
investigated the subject said Mr..
Murphy, that M. L. Finkelstein, the
pawnbroker, is really behind Jesse
Foot in his campaign for county treas
urer. There is plenty of evidence that
substantiates this fact, and I do not
think that Mr.. Finkelstein will deny
that he is really running for the office
of county treasurer in the name of
Jesse Foot. The question is, therefore,
whether the people of this county care
to transfer Mr.. Finkelstein, the pawn
broker, and his clerk, Mr.. Foot, to the
responsible position to which they COLI
lectively aspire"
Mr. Murphy also spoke for the other
candidates on the ticket. He said that
Anton Miesen should and doubtless
will be elected sheriff, believing that
Justus should be satisfied with four
years of an office that has paid him
$4,000 a year 1t was necessary to
support T. r. Kane for county attor-
ney. as without his presence in the
court house during the past four years
it was altogether possible that there
would have been grave scandals that
his watchfulness averted. The; elec-
ton of Fred Beck as county auditor
should be made certain, he argued, as
the Democratic county attorney and
the Democratic county board of coun-
ty commissioners to be elected, should
have the assistance of this official. Mr..
Murphy had4a a good word for all Of the
candidates.
The people of Ramsey county will
this year return to a non partisan ju-
TThey remember the time when the
Democratic party was in power and
the judges were equally divided be-
tween the parties. The Republicans
repudiated the practice, but the peo-
pie now realize their mistake in voting
for partisan candidates. To make the
bench nonepartisan at this time it is
necessary to elect Judge Bum and T.
D. O'Brien, and l believe that the peo-
pie see the advantage to be gained in
supporting the Democratic nominees." "
Anton Miesen, candidate for sheriff,
said that the situation grew more
promising each day, particularly for
John A. johnson, the next governor of
the state. P. J. Metzdorf, candidate
for treasurer, said that he was willing
to stand on his record of the past four
years. Fred Beck, candidate for .coun-
ty auditor, declared he was competent
to fill the position, and that it would
not be necessary for him to depend on
deputies.
The other speakers were ]. B. Irvine,
candidate for surveyor; James Hand
Ian, candidate for the legislature north
of the tracks; G. r. Daley, candidate
for the legislature south of the tracks;
DR.. A. w. Miller, candidate for coro-
ner; R.N. Hare and r. N. Grady, cam
didate for county commissioners.

DUNN TURNED DOWN
Albert Lea RepubIican-Commit.
tee Rejects Endorsement

A report reached ST. Paul yesterday
from Albert Lea as showing the revo-
luton in Southern Minnesota against
the Dunn leadership.
A resolution, indorsing the candi-
dacy of r. c. Dunn, is said to have
been defeated at a meeting Of the
Republican county committee held at
Albert Lea Saturday evening.
The story that reached the Democratic
state headquarters yesterday, in a let
ter from Albert Lea, was to the effect
that when the Republican county COM
mittee met to consider plans for the
campaign, a motion that Judge John A.
Lovely, of the supreme court, be in
dorsed for election was carried with
practical unanimity. Judge Lovely is
a resident of Albert Lea, and while he
was defeated for denomination by the
Republican state convention, he was
later nominated by the Democrats and
is practically assured of an election.
When Judge Lovely had been in
dorsed, a Dunn man on the committee
moved that a resolution be passed in
dorsing r. c. Dunn as Republican cam
didate for governor. The resolution
was defeated.
No cry of snap Judgment can be
raised, for there were thirty of the
thirty seven members of the county
committee present.
It is probably the first time in the
history of the state that candidate
for governor has been denied the in
dorsement of his own party.
Reports that come from Hennepin
county indicate the same condition
there. Members of the Republican
county organization have been invited
to resign because of their support of
John A. Johnson, but as the precinct
committeeman in Minneapolis are
elected by the people, several men cf
the Eighth ward to whom the sugges-
tion of resignation was made declined
to go against the wishes of their con-
stituents, and will remain on the COM
mittee. Four precinct committeeman
in one ward, however, resigned when
Chairman Thomas H. Girling sent
word to them that their attitude to-
wards Mr.. Dunn demanded their resig-
nation. The lone precinct committee
man remaining in Office in the precinct
is said to be Dunn man.

The expose in The Clio b of the
plot to colonize the lumber counties of
Northern Minnesota with thousands OF
men between now and Nov. 8 and to
vote them solidly for R. c. Dunn on

comment yesterday.
Democratic leaders were convinced
of the truth of the story when shown
the proofs of the conference of the
lumbermen, and Immediately began to
take steps to prevents the success OF the
Wholesale attempt to change the result
of the state election.

a member of the Democratic state ex-

yesterday, declared that the plan would
not be permitted to work in st. Louis

ty. The Democrats of Duluth will not
stand by and see a great wrong perpe-
trated on the county and the state. On
my return to Duluth we will take steps
that will prevent the success OF the
scheme and will result in the punish
ment of any one who attempts to colo
nize the pine land districts. We will
send a half dozen detectives up to the
lumber camps and will see that the
election is not only legal, but that the
voters are qualified to vote in the cleo
ton districts where they make the at
