Nightmare to Cheney.

The Heatwole string of papers,;
seem to be a nightmare to Brother
Cheney, the ''only thing'' on the
Journal beach of newspaperdom, in
Minneapolis. Those papers Cheney
calls "string" because they choose
Dunn instead of Collins for governor,
and would make the public think
#Heatwole is candidate for Clapp's
place in the senate. Should such a
case arise Cheney wouldn't long call
it string, but a rope Of sand. There
would be a great mix-up. But Joel
only crosses one stream at a time.
He is at present trying to redeem the
State from Van Sant-Collins bossism,
which not only means Clapp's down
fall, but Nelson's as we'll. Joel knows
that these men are Minnesota's pride
in the senate, and won't attempt to
unhorse them this trip.-Windom Re

Supporting Dunn.

Every congressman in Minnesota is
seeking reelection this year, and
every congressman in Minnesota is
supporting r. G. Dunn for governor,
thereby strengthening his own organi-

moment that if Dunn was weak in a
certain district that the congressman
from the district would tie up to him.

Dunn's Big Lead.

No sane man, who is willing to ad-

Dunn is way ahead of Collins in the
present gubernatorial race. Of course,
being pitted against the whole field,
he might be defeated even though as
sured of twice as many votes as Col
Inns. OF this, however, there is little
danger and that Mr.. Dunn will be
nominated is about as assured a fact
as anything in politics. Wright

When Collins quit an honorable
position to which he was elected for

is elective for only two years at the
same salary of judge, he had some
other point in view. The judge wants
to be elected United States senator

An upholsterer of the kind usually
known as little, not on account of his
physique, but owing to the proportions
of his establishment, was recently
called in to attend to some work in one

as we'll as he could, and. with an eager
hope of some more in the future, re.
Trained from making the charge accord
with the wealth of his millionaire pat,

waited.
That happened in February. He
sent in another bin in May and in June
called, only TO fld the house closed
and a caretaker in charge. In Octo.
Der it was still closed and his letter
sent to the address evoked no response.
1t was only at the beginning of last
November that a letter arrived from

however, contain a check. Inside of it
was printed slip, which read:
In answer to your letter of Oct. 16,

ways audited on Jan. J. You will re-

This bore the signature of a secre-
