THE trouble with Mr.. Verify is said to
be his close relations with Joel 3. Heat.

| Dunn"
Annandale Advocate:
1.-THE people who are objecting to the
| appointment Of James Martin as head OF
the Republican state committee are the
! rule or ruin hendsS who hoped to destroy
the party because they could not nave
/ their way. 49,.
These are all originally Dunn papers,
/ and that Is probably why they rub it in
so hard into Mr. Heatwole.
| But here is the Rochester Post Record,
| which favored Judge Collins:
THE reason assigned for the differences
1 now existing between Dunn and HeatWele
j is that the latter wants to GUST Moses II.
Ciapp from the senate and be his Sue-
| cessor. and that Dunn is shouting ms
loudest in favor OF Clapps contrary 10
pearance to that effect before the state
convention strong enough TO warrant the
| belief that such an agreement had been
| made"
But the SIayton Gazette, an original
| Dunn paper, thus -dsposes of the break in
| the confidence game:
| His opposition to Clapp. as shown in his
| paper. the Mortified News. led many OF
| Clapps friends to fear that Dunn IS also
unfriendy to Clapp. Notwithstanding his
! repeated statements TO the contrary IN
| his speeches.
That some doubt did Turk in the minds
! of Senator Clapp's friends with reference
| to Mr.. Dtnns sincerity may. at least be
| inferred from the words of the Orton-
| vile Herald-Star, one of the leading Dunn
papers before the convention, which.
speaking of the effect of these changes
upon Mr.. Dunn, says:
! 'They will strengthen his candidacy for
| the governorShip, especially with senator
| Clapps friends who can no longer doubt
| Mr. Dunn's friendship for MInneseta's Ju-
! Nor senator
The throwing down Of Heatwole land
/ Verify is thus commended by the Iron
! Trade Journal of Two Harbers:
1 Mr. Dunn appears to be well satisfied
| that Heatwole andss Verify We're knlflng
| him. and all because he favored the re-
| e. Clapp. The changes which occurred
| have made both sena tors solid for Dunn
and from this time forth until the 8th of
November the campaign win be a lively
| large majority for the eTtires Republican
| ticket
The Faribauit Republican appears to be
| on to the elementary composition Of the
! political chemicals which caused the ex-
| plosion. and says:
1.-The truth appears to have been grow
| ing upon Mr.. Dupn's leaders that grea
| mistake was made in forming compact
! with one whose well understood aspira-
| tions made it manifest that submission to
4 his leadership would involve the neces-
| sity of lighting the election of Senator
Clamp"
But the FaIlock Weekly News. whose
| proprietor Is state librarian <under Gov.
] Van SAINT. reaches out for olive branches
| in the following manner:
1T became apparent that Mr.. Dunn will
need some so called Collins votes to en-
able him to secure respectable major
| ity; that the Heatwole aggregation. so
closely allied with his candidacy, cannot
| be Stomaehed by theaSank and file of the
| Republican voters, and that anything. in
| terfering with Senator Caapps candidacy
twill not be tolerated
The highmindedness Of practical poll
ties according to Dunn ethics Is further
shown by the Rush City Post:
Jim Martin is man; has acted like a
man from start to finish. = hesfought a
good fight and when the battle went
/ against, him he did the right thing at the
right time and quit fighting. He staketi
| all and lost. but he won the approval of
his party by moving to make it unani-
1 JIM Is a tettl Len
r Tefse i to be gooS and Will Bray no
/ confidence in doing so. Htsasaarned with a

And the Winnehago CITY Press is still
on the aggressive:
The state house ganssfear honest Bob
| Dunn. hence are reSortlng 10 pretty low
4 tactics to ENCOMPASS liSsdefeat. But such
J a thing is not possible. These bitter per-
| sonal attacks are as coWardly rs they are
,afrr1aL Hin
| realizes they viii react on the heads OF
| the desperate crowd who fear a house
| cleaning when Mr. Dunn is inaugurated
! governor on Jan. next.
This despicable gang, of course. is con-
| fined to Gov Van SAINT. Judge Lovely,
! Judge Douglas. Attorney General sDona-
! hover, Public Examiner Johnson andstheir
friends. Secretary of State Hanson,
Treasurer Block, Railroad Commissioner
| Mills. to say nothing of Lieut.. Gov. Ray
| w Jones, these are good people.
But punishment is TO extend farther
than that. The st. Vincent New Era
says:
More trouble for Editor MeLain. of the
Minneapolis Evening" Journal. 1t is re-
ported that Miss Mabel Evans has bought
/ n serviceable rawhile and is practIcing
.tslashings'' on.sa dummy. the same build
as the famous Minneapolis editor. After
! Editor MeLain is installed in a hospital
| ward he can't say we did not warn him
! in plenty of time TO make an ablect apol-
| ogy to that web advertised and wealthy
! young lady,"
Some editors. like some politicians. de-
| velop a marvellous faith in the people
| The Chisago. County News. which, like Mr..
! Martin. is becoming very much disgust
| ed with the opposition to Mr. Dunn. thus
displays the brand Of its RepubIieanism:
l. 1T remained for the Hon. John A.
| Lovely to drag tie judiciary of the state
| iFf0 the dirty Rlire OF nCllflcS. After De-
! ity in a Republican convention he ac-
cepts nomination from the Democrats. but
still pretends to be a Republican. Those
