ROGERS ABANDONS
CANDIDATE DUNN
Ramsey Republican Leader Ad.
vises Followers to Save
County Ticket

After arguing for nearly two hours
that it is the duty of Republicans TO
support R. G. Dunn for governor f..
G. Rogers saw the futility of attempt
Ing to crack the party whip and sug-
gested t. the First Ward Republican
club last night that simply because
Republicans could not support Mr..
Dunn was no reason the voters could
not support the county ticket
1t was an appeal to the Republicans
TO save the pieces, and as such was
appreciated by the large field of Re
publican county candidates present.
Mr.. Rogers was the principal speaker
before the First Ward Republican club
at Sjoberg's hall, Payne avenue and
Wells street, and he justified the title
by talking for two hours. His dis
cussion of national issues was well re-,
ceived, but there was but very little
response when he talked of state scan-
d1dates and state issues. He defended
the administration of former State
Auditor Dunn from his critics. but
omitted all reference to the later and
graver charges contained in Congress
man Lind's ST. Paul speech.
Drops Dunn to Save County
IF you can't vote for the head of
the ticket, it is no reason why you
should not support the entire county
ticket Mr.. Rogers said, when he real
lied the truth of reports of large dis
affections from Mr. Dunn's cause in the
First ward. incidentally, the speaker
gave foundation to the rumors that he
will be a candidate for another term
as clerk of court, when he said that he
had no sympathy for the anti-third
term cry that was going up from some
quarters.
There was fairly good attendance
during the early hours of the meeting,
but the crowd melted away, and when
the county candidates had their inning
only the stragglers were left. Oscar
Hallam and J. H. Markham spoke for
their judicial candidates. Mr. Mark
ham ridiculed the idea of non-par-
tisan Judiciary by saying that Repub-
llcans were in favor of a judiciary
composed of Republicans, and he de-
MED stories that he was not playing
fair with his Republican running mate.
Judge E. w. Bazille DR.. ]. c.. Nelson,
Jesse Foot, j. H. Armstrong, Matt.
Jensen and Harry Hardick We're
among the other speakers.
Gailick to the Rescue
Before the meeting closed Henry
Gallick. court commissioner, made a
characteristic address. Abel Ander-
son, president of the club, introduced
him as a man who was much abused
but who always bobbed up serenely.
Judge Gallick said he was again a
candidate for that distinguished and
honorable Office of court commission
err" thanked the First ward Repub-
licans for the primary vote given him,
and urged his hearers to vote for that
glorious tribune of the American peo-
pie, Theodore Roosevelt He also ad-
vised the voters to vote for the Repub-
lican candidate for governor, but this
suggestion met with a dead silence.

Japanese Not Likely to Be Caught

Assuming, then, that the relief of Port
Arthur is Still, as it was before the
battle of vafangoW, the thing which of
all others the grand dukes by whom
the war was provoked and is being
conducted most desire, it may well be
that Kuropatkins change of tactics has
been effected in response to the impe-
rial command, However that may be,
the Japanese may be trusted to meet
it with the same energy, audacity and
Intelligence which they have exhibited
from the beginning, and to take full
advantage, of whatever openings Gen.
Kuropatkin's movements may provide.
That they shave allowed or that they
will allow themselves to be caught in
any trap lis. to, say the least, highly
irnprobablS. ARhiladelphia Inquirer.

WILL ELECT TICKET
Ramsey Democrats Working
for a Clean Victory

The success of the Lind meeting in
the Peoples church put life and ginger
in the county campaign, and about the
local headquarters yesterday there was
the utmost confidence that the entire
Democratic county ticket will be elect
ed.
A greatly increased number of cali
ers made it evident that the campaign
is now fairly opened. and that the fight
will be continued with increasing vigor
until election day. Reports received
from large number of precinct work.
ers showed that there is an increasing
sentiment in favor of the Democratic
nominees, with a practical certainty
that Judge Bum and T. d. O'Brien
will be elected district judges.
New confidence was infused into the
candidates, and they went about their
work with increased vigor. In all ways
the situation had features Of more
promise than at any time since the
nominations were made, there being a
determinatio TO stand together as
one man and make the fight against
the Republican candidates.
There is every reason to believe that
our county ticket will be elected said
Chairman F. A. Pike. Reports re-
ceived from the Democratic precinct
committeeman show that the excel
lent record being made by the Demo-
cratic county and city(officials is being
recognized. 1t would not surprise me
if the entire ticket is elected. These
reports show that Miesen has Justus
on the run, Metzdorf is not in dan
ger. that Beck will slaughter Krahmer,
that the people favor a non-partisan
judiciary and will elect the Demo-
cratic nominees. Judge Bum and T..
d. O'Brien, and that all the other DEM
ocratic candidates stand a good chance.
The situation has improved wonder
fully in the last few days, and before
the end of the week we will have the
Republicans on the rum

What the Editors Say

So turn which way one may, he finds
every hope for relief from trusts and
their oppressive prices and repressive
actions barred, if the Republican party
is again successful. Trusts (monopo-
lies) are the great threatening internal
evil of the day We know that manu-
facturers, large dealers, jobbers and all
the way down have their trusts which
absolutely dictate prices to the country
merchant and cause the consumer to
pay more for every article he uses, ex-
cept farm products. They have all
mercantile trade in their power and,
being human, are selfish and profit I'M
mensely This condition is particularly
oppressive to the farmer who is in no
way benefited by trusts and protec-
ton, but has to sell in the open mar
kets of the world and buy of a monop-
oily at such prices as they see fit to
demand.-The Pink Paper.
q The farmers of Red River Valley are
reaping the fruits of one of the best

While the yield of wheat is COMPARE

and a large shortage the world over.
Other crops are good and bring good
prices. Business in the valley will be
good. Already evidences of the '.scare"
have passed away and the merchants
are anticipating one of the best fall

Michigan has enacted law against

ment to aim their guns at the game

SOME ESTIMATES

An esteemed contemporary, which is
republishing the political stuff sent out
by the Republican national campaign
committee and concocted by special
pay, tells us that the campaign is all
over. Not only is the result no longer
in doubt, but it can tell just where the
necessary Roosevelt votes are to be OBJ
tanned. 1.-TWO hundred and ninety
electoral votes absolutely safe for
Roosevelt, . it cries, and says that this
EXCLUDES all the doubtful states" all
of which might be carried by Parker
without his being able to win.
This would pass muster better were
it not that the article in question pro-
ceeds to details. That is always mis-
take if you suppose any Intelligence at
all in your readers. Looking down the
list Of states that are assigned abso-
Iutely to Roosevelt at the present time
as "safe beyond possibility Of change
we find included, as helping to make
up this total of 29O, Connecticut, In
diana, New Jersey and New York.
Now this is very crude and coarse
work Somebody might have been
convinced that the battle was really
won if the writer had been content
with general assertion, or if he had
adjusted his total to fit in with reason
able probabilities. AS it is his folly
discredits even those portions of his
estimate that must otherwise pass
muster. There isn't a voter in the
United States so stupid as not to uh-
derstand that the four states which we
have quoted are and have been from
the beginning doubtful. Nobody
knows today how their electoral votes
will be cast.
1t is in them that the hottest cam
paign is being waged. Both parties
are putting forth their utmost efforts
toscarry New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Indiana, and the party
that succeeds will win. Even Repub
licans in New York state concede that
Judge Herrick, the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor will be elected. Peo-
pie there are tired of Odell and his
methods and are going to administer
to the Republican local machine 4
deserved rebuke. There is the strong
est probability that Judge Parker alse
will carry the state. This has been be-
lieved by well Informed persons ever
since he was nominated, and is render
ed doubly sure by the strength of Judge
Herrick. AS to Indiana, the chances
at the present moment certainly favor
the Democrats. All that any sincere
Republican could claim would be that
it is an even bet which party will carry
the state. That Connecticut and New
Jersey will follow the lead of New York
is pretty well conceded.
Now The Clio b e. although it be-
lieves that the chances of Parker's
election are excellent, does not claim
that any of these states is not doubt
full They are. Nobody can tell today
how the vote of any one of them for
president will be cast. Texas is not
doubtful, nor is Pennsylvania; bu1
these four states, along with eight o.
ten others are hanging in the balance
and We cannot tell which way they viii
finally swing. 1t is a general and sim
pie rule of construction that a party
that makes claims absurd upon the
face of them must be trying to bolster
up weak position. We have seen few

DAKOTA COUNTY HAS
STRONG CANDIDATES

1--WE are particularly fortunate IN
our legislative nominees" said Albert
Schaller, the attorney, who resides in
Hastings, yesterday in speaking of the
prospects of election of John Penning-
ton and Joseph Peters, Democratic
candidates for the lower house from
Dakota county.
Both Mr.. Pennington and Peters are
former members of the house and their
records are such that they are entitled
to be elected on their merits. I served
in the state senate while both Mr.. Pen
nington and Mr.. Peters were members
of the house, and know of the legisla-
ton for which they were responsible.
1 know personally the two men and
know them to be honest farmers who
actually farm their lands and~who are
not in politics the year round. They
should both stand an excellent chance
of election this year"
Mr.. Pennington was the author or
the anti-fuSion act recently declared
invalid by the supreme court, but the
original bill was so amended in the
senate by Senator E. 7. Young, now
Republican candidate for attorney
general, that it has been declared lille
gal. AS introduced by Mr.. Penning-
ton the bill only declared against one
party using any part of the name of
another party, but the Young amend
ment prohibited the use of more than
one party name after the name on the
ballot This is the part declared lille
gal by the supreme court. He is also
the father of the law whereby an cleo
ton to state Office may be contested,
and the Importance of this measure is
seen from the fact that when John
Lind was beaten by a narrow margin
in 1896 there was no way of institut-
ing a legal contest. He was the author
of the law increasing state aid to rural
schools from 800 to $50 and intro
duced the so-called Lind tax laws in
the special session Of 1902

Japanese STRONG on the Defensive

1t wild be a striking turn in the war
for the old roles Of the eombatarfts to
be reversed, but it does not seem prob
able that the Japanese will prove
weaker ON the. defensive than on the
offensive. 1t is not irrational to believe
that, on account of the Port Arthur
situation, Oyama decided to pause in
his northward movement and invite
Kuropatkin to an exchange of roles.
If that be true then Oyama would be
found ready to meet the Russian army
on his own ground; and, naturally, his
outposts would retire until the enemy
had been drawn to the chosen field of
the next deadly embrace. Whether
Kuropatkin would throw his forces
upon the fortified positions of the
japanese north of Liau-yang, or try to
regain the town by thanking operations,
is a question for his own generalship
to decide.-Springfiel (Mass) Repub-
