CLApP PENSION BILL,
Survivors of the Indian Campaigns Are
to BE Benefited
From Wednesdays Daily.

The senate pensions committee has
made a report favorable to Senator
Clapp's bill to give a pensionable status
to survivors of the Fort Ridgley and
New Ulm Indian campaigns. 1t is be-
lieved the bill will become law. 1t pro-
vides that the records of Minnesota be
taken as showing the names and rec
ords of the soldiers. Most of them serv-
ed less than the ninety days required
by the existing pension law. Owing to
the splendid work of the state historical
society, the state records of the Indian
war are complete while the government
has none, as the volunteers were all
civilians.

PROTESTING STILL.
From Tuesdays Daily.

rIom IueSuay Dduy.
Several exchanges edited in the in
terests of candidate for governor are
harping on the "unreliability" of The
Journals political news. The trouble
with The Journal is that for two years
it has been telling the facts about an
important political combination, and let
ting more light into it than was COM
Portable for the parties interested. Pub
licity has hurt their plans. Although
they have made persistent denials, the
accuracy of The Journals statements has
been proved by developments.
In The Journal of Jan. IA, 1902, an
account is given of an alliance formed
between the third district machine"
organization and the railroad element in
the Republican party of the state, with
State Auditor Dunn's personal follow
ing as an important factor. That article
was wildly denounced and denied by
newspapers friendly to the deal, but it
was true, and succeeding events have
proved it.
The plan of this same combination to
organize the last house was exposed in
The Journal. The participants denied it.,
of course, but in thirty days after the
house was organized its members realiz-
ed how they had been hoodwinked. They
discredited the "put up" committees, and
made the organization Ineffective for its
purpose, but the power behind that or
ganization was apparent to everyone.
Last fall The Journal stated that Mr..
Dunn's candidacy for governor was sup
proted by the influence of the merger"
railroads This was strenuously denied,
but it is now a matter of common
knowledge. The influence back of Mr..
Dunn's candidacy has shown its hand
plainly, and the connection cannot be
concealed.
These are a few illustration among
many that might be cited. So long as
time verifes The Journals political
views, charges of Misrepresentation from
those whose schemes are laid bare be-
fore the public will not disturb the dis
eliminating reader very much.-Minne-
apolis Journal.

County Attorney Wilson Announces
His Candidacy Today.
Points With Pride to His Excellent
Record in the Office.
Spirited Contest in the Primaries
Is Now Assured.
c. P. Williams Not Candidate, Coron
er Kennedy Doesn't Want to Be.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From tuesdays Daily.
S. B. Wilson has decided to enter the
contest again for county attorney, and
announces that his name will go before
the Republican primaries as a candi-
date for denomination. He has SPLEEN
did record of efficiency to point to, as
the criminal records in the courts of the
county and district since he had held of
fce show. Convictions have been secur-
ed in practically all of the cases where
prosecutions have been undertaken by
him.
Mr.. Wilson is too well known over the
county for any extended notice of his
candidacy to be necessary. He is an
able lawyer, a faithful official, and both
as public prosecutor and as adviser of
the county board he has won honor He
has numerous warm friends who will
be pleased to know that he will be
candidate for reelection, and he will
no doubt have strong and hearty sup
port.
W. A. Funk has already announced his
candidacy, and thus far there are but
two candidates in the field. Whether
any more will come out remains to be
seen. The Republican party can always
be depended to furnish good material for
the various offices, and no mistake will
be made in naming either Mr.. Funk or
Mr.. Wilson. Both have their friends,
and the contest before the primaries
will no doubt be spirited. When the
party has declared its choice, all should
join in helping to elect the successful
candidate.
c. p. Williams States that he has de-
cided not to become a candidate for
county treasurer. He feels that he has
been tied up in his business for years,
and hopes before to disengage himself
and spend some of his time in the west.
Several prospective candidates are
holding off a little longer before an
nouncing their wishes. You had better
come to the front, boys, and get into
the game. Seeding time is coming on,
and pretty soon the farmers will be so
busy that they will not know it if you
do announce yourselves. Don't be BASH
full
Candidates for county superintendent |
should make themselves heard of. The |
present able superintendent has conclud-
ed to enter other fields, and there is
clear sailing for those who have an eve
on the office
1t is apparent that Sheriff Williams
will have no opposition in the primaries. |
He has made a splendid sheriff, and de-
serves a second term. Ben has shown
the stuff that he is made of since he
took the office, and has made friends
everywhere. He will be far stronger
next fall than ever before.
Coroner Kennedy states that he does
not think that he will be candidate
for the office again, but his friends will
probably insist that he take it, as his
record is so good that his services are
needed. He has been a very economical
official and saved money for the county.
