TOWNE BOWS TO
TAMMANY'S WILL
Declines Endorsement by People s
Party of Candidacy for
Congress.

New York, Oct. 22.-Charles A.
Towne, democratic nominee for con-
gress in the fourteenth congressional
district, sent a letter today to the ex-
ecutive committee re- of the people s
party declining that party's indorse-
ment of him for congress: After ex-
pressing his appreciation Of the com
ghment shown in the. Endorsement, Mr..
Towne says: J., - III. -. = -,:S4 50
|. ct am a democrat. I impugn no
man s motives. [ recognize every cit
izen 8 right to exercise his political
functions according to his own con
science, but I: am, profoundly. Of the
opinion that in this campaign the
fundamental principles of our republic
are at stake and that vote for any
national ticket other than Parker and
Davis is at least half a vote in favor
of the abandonment of the doctrine OF
our national life Under these circum
stances, I do not think myself justi

port which 1applies discrimination
against the balance of the democratic
ticket, in whose success lies the only
hope of defeating the republican
party.'

hall that Representative Sulzer and Mr.

CHICAGO PAPER
RIDICULES DUNN
Walter Wellman Terms Minnesota
Candidate for Governor a
Hack Politician.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Oct. 22.-Walter Wellman,
in summing up for the Chicago Record
Herald the political situation in the
west, today pays his respects to Min
nesota, Michigan and Wisconsin by
saving that the republicans in these
states have made a complete mess OF
thin"s. He says, however, that the
states are safe for Roosevelt.
He devotes considerable space to rid
iculing Dunn, the republican candidate
for governor of Minnesota. He says:
cit is a peculiar fact that this year
the republicans are having governor
ship or other local troubles in a half
dozen western or far western states,
all or nearly all of which are safe for
Roosevelt.
Row in Michigan.
"In Michigan the dominant party is
engaged in a family row which threat
ems to elect a democratic governor.
AS in Wisconsin, there is protest
against the despotism Of the old ma
chine and a widespread demand for,
primary election system. Warner, the
republican candidate for governor, is
secretary of state and a member in full
standing of the machine. By skllful
and assiduous wirepulling he made him
self the nominee and lot of people dc
not like it. The revolt against the OLD
crowd and it's methods appears to be
quite formidable. Senator Burrows tells
me that while Roosevelt will carry the
state by 100000 or over, Warner must be
satisfied with half as much. But Other
republicans, perhaps better, -. because
more disinterested witnesses than the
senior senator, say Warner is IN serl
Gus danger, while the democrats claim
their candidate, Ferriss, is going to viii
by $4,000.
Sad Mess in Minnesota.
Gin Minnesota the republican bose:
appear to have made a sad mess Of
things, too. Tho Roosevelt is to have
big plurality, the republican candl
date for governor, a machlne-made man
is having a hard time of it.. His nam'
| is Dunn, and some of the best peopl'
and newspapers in the state are unable
to stomach him.
"Besides being hack politician, n
made speeches, or tried to. His gram
mar and pronunciation are picturesque
In talk at Winona, for instance, h
congratulated the town for having sen
many soldiers to the Spanish America
war, adding in his best style: And
ladies and gentlemen, we all honor tn
brave men whose names appear upo'
the rooster of the Winona company;
His democratic opponent, a Scand1
navian bearing the godly and not un
familiar name Of Johnson, is making
clever campaign and stands goo
chance to win.

OYAMA MAY STRIKE
Japanese Commander Expected to Take
the Offensive.

London, Oct. 22.-The Times Toxic
correspondent says that dispatches from
Oyama s headquarters seem to indicate
the shak-he river as the Immediate
objective Of the original advance, and
that appearances su ggest that another
great battle is imminent in which the
Japanese will assume the offensive
A dispatch from Mukden says that
Oyama's center advance was definitely
thwarted with loss of guns and men. It
is not indicated just what this advance
was. The dispatch says further that
there is every indication that the battle
will be resumed soon and that deci-
sive result will be achieved.
l. A dispatch from Toxic to the Jap
anese legation dated today says Field
Marshal Oyama reports that the left
army thus far has captured a total Of
forty-three Russian guns.
+. Kuropatkin s army extends along q
| line running over 1272 miles south of
Mukden and is supported by strong for
tiications on the Hun river.

the bluff is not kept up to the end.
They recall that in 1896 James K.

By tonight the headquarters will be

The scene of the Ames melodrama
has been shifted, but the actors who
appeared in this mornings performance
before Judge D. F. Simpson are the
same as those who have been paraded
at three other presentations of the same
piece. sE-.
Former Mayor A. A. Ames came on
early and will occupy the center OF the
stage during all the acts. He was &C
companied this morning by his shadow,
Baxter, the detective. E. S. Cary, re-
covered from his sudden illness, was
there to protect the defendant s inter
ests and Judge w. A. Kerr, as in the
last case, is representing the state. Few
of the prominent witnesses in the case
were present, but will be on hand when
they are wanted. .,,
After consulting at some length with
his client, Mr.. Cary announced that
dice filed against Judge Simpson ant
veniremen were called without further
| delay.
Out Of thirteen possibilities examined
in the same old way two jurors were Sc
cured. Their names are given above
McLynn is young and intelligent look
ing man, who stated he knew little ant
cared less, about the charge on which
the defendant is being tried, viz: tha'
Of accepting bride of $40 for Bessl'
should be protected in running hous'
of i'll fame. Mr.. Sprague is middle
aged business men, who stated that h
had no fixed opinion as to the guilt O

It was noticeable that Judge Ker
carefully asked each venireman calle'

crime He conducted thoro examina

jury.

How the state auditor could have
been ignorant of this list, and what it
contained, passes all understanding.
The only explanation seems to be that
assigned by John Lind" official reck-
Quarreled for Years.
This list of state lands was bone
of contention between the Duluth &
Iron Range and the state auditor for
four years before the case came to trial.
Mr.. Dunn in 1895 refused to allow the
fill it's grant. The company was for
titled by decision of the supreme
court, declaring the grant valid and
earned, and two opinions from the at
torney general. 1t maintained its right
to fiji the grant and offered nine. differ
ent selections Of land from time tc
time.
Mr.. Dunn refused to accept the Sc,
lections, but the company left each Sc
lection with him as due notice: In
1898 the company secured certificates
from the auditor 8 office identifying
these lists. One set of ia lists, repre-
senting lands which the company hao
selected and which had been decided by
the state, was certified by Mr.. Dunn
including the lands which the compa
