John A. johnson, democratic candi-
date, is i'll at the Merchants hotel in
st. Paul. His condition is not serious,
and he will fill his engagement for ten
speeches in Minneapolis tomorrow
night.
The trouble is Indigestion, brought
on.by fatigue and irregular diet on his
strenuous campaign trip. Mr.. Johnson
has been making from two to SIX
speeches a day for six weeks, and the
strain has been almost too much.
He was to have spoken in New .Ulm
this afternoon and Winthrop tonight.
The New Ulm date was cancelled, and
John Lind will fill the engagement for
this evening at Winthrop. The program
includes excursions from the surround
ing towns, and four speeches in as many
different halls in Winthrop.

WHY WAS IT DONE?
Articles Incorporating New Electric
Line Are Tempered With.

Incorporators Of the Hutchinson &
Western Railway company charge that
their articles Of incorporation recently
filed with the secretary of state in St.
Paul were changed somewhere between
their office and st. Paul, and that the
capital stock of the corporation was
made $4,000 when it should have been
$1,000,000.
Minneapolis al " inco o visited St.
Paul yesterday and attempted to have
the amount Of the capital stock changed.
This was not allowed and new articles
of incorporation will have to be pre-
pared. Mystery surrounds the change
which was accomplished by FASTING a
typewritten slip over the original
ST 000,0 900.

A severe arraignment of methods in
vogue in conducting the police depart
ment of Minneapolis resulted from the
citizens meeting held yesterday, at
which time the committee appointed on
Oct. 26 made it's report.
The investigation was for the pur-
pose of Investigating the causes OF the
public laxity of morals as exemplified
by recent scandals in which children Of
immature years were concerned. The
committee reported that public apathy
to the danger, and organization Of the
forces profting by the shame Of others,
We're to blame: Amusement was. ex-
pressed at the discovery Of the identity
of some Of those whose influence has
been brought to bear for the continu-
ance of dance halls, winerooms and
houses of assignation.. 1t was charged
that the police had been intimi dated
until individual officers were afraid to
displeasure of their superiors. This fact
was attributed to the political spoils
system under which the police force is
conducted. The police system was said
to stand for those who manipulated the
wires Of recurring city administrations
The parable given above was read with
Ia local application.
The report continues:
There are few men great enough to
! hold office today and to be superior to the
machine that creates them. We plead
therefore, that the citizens of Minneapo-
lis study this one subject of the new
charter. It enables the police force to be
! on basis of civil service and it gives
an individual patrolman the opportunity
to do his work faithfully, without being
told ito mind his own business" Police
men cannot be discharged because in
their discharge Of duty they have offended
a prominent member of the Liquor Deal
ers' association, nor can they be dis
charged at the whim and caprice Of party
managers.
The fact that the new charter is OPP
posed by those VINO are interested in per-
petrating the recent shameful scenes that
have come to light in Minneapolis is a
strong argument in it's favor, and the
public is responsible for a condition Of
I affairs which it has the opportunity tt
rectify. ""-#M rs#z -a -@... "5r~@ e
At present, as prominent member o.
the committee remarked, there is abso
lutely no hope for better things from the
police department under almost any ad
minstratiOn. Your committee, therefore
unanimously recommends that those in
| terested in forcing out the dance halls
winerooms and houses Of designation, tina
, degrade our youth and disgrace our city
| vote for the new charter, which takes tn
police out of the party spoils and en-
ables q ell-disposed mayor to conduc
the city without constantly having t.
withstand the pressure Of powerful organi
cations and interested property holders
The report was signed by Irving John
son, Mrs. E. A. Russell, E. S. Slater, Mrs
G. M. Cooley, H. P. Roberts, J. M. Cleary
j. G. Mcintyre and Mrs. M. B. Lewis.

Two representatives of the mechani-

after the bonds have been voted a great
deal will be said about the merits of
these devices as compared with the sand
filters recommended by the commission.

mission states that, taking into consid-
GRAFTON the interest on the investments
plant would be cheaper for Minneapo-
lis. A mechanically plant would
cost much less than a sand-fiIter plant.

greater.
