PROMISE HARD FIGHT
FIrstDlstrict Democrats Intend
to Elect congressman

= . (.
Democratic congressional feadquar-
tiers in the First district will be opened
In few days at Albert Lea, and that
city will be made, the base for the
campaign which H. c.. Nelson, the
Democratic nominee for congress in
the district, will make to wrest control
of the district from the Republican
congressman and the interests for
which he stands.
A conference Of leading Democrats
of the district was held yesterday at
Rochester and the decision to main
tain headquarters was reached as a
result of the conference. At the con-
ference were: II. c.. Nelson, candidate
of his party for congress In the First
district, and J. F. D. Meighen, both Of
Freeborn county; F. E. Joslyn and
Henry Baird, both Of Dodge county;
Capt. w. II. Harries, Houston; A. E.
Davidson. Mower, and Senator Patrick
Fitzpatrick, Winona. Plans for the
congressional campaign were freely
discussed and j.. f. D.. Meighen, Of
Albert Lea, was made secretary and
treasurer of the campaign congression-
al committee. The chairman will also
be Freeborn county man, that being
the home Of Mr.. Nelson.
While the district is strongly Re-
publican, the Democrats in the con-
ference expressed satisfaction at the
situation. Mr.. Nelson Is, a prominent
farmer of Freedom county, former
state senator from the county, and is
man in close touch with, the agri-
cultural interests Of the district.

D[NOUNc[S
WHEAT GAMBLERS
Declares That Some of the
Traders Are professional
ThlmbIerlaaers"

~
W. c. Edgar, editor of the North
western Miller, makes an at
tack on some Of the members Of the
Chamber of Commerce and other
wheat traders and he uses the terms
professional" "thimbleriggers,' de
spoilers" and professional wheat gam
blers.''
In speaking Of the kind of people
who are doing more or less plunging,
being guided by the men he denounces.
Mr.. Edgar says:
The peculating clerks. who are tapping
the cash drawer in order to speculate in
wheat; the duped salaried men who have
invested their savings In the market;
the trusted employee who is going wrong;
man who has borrowed surreptitiously
the small accommodations Of his hard
worked wife, the boarding house keeper
tor those of his daughter the SempStresS
to place in the hands of the shifty buck
et-shop operator; the silly. women who
throng the galleries of the chamber of
commerce and burst into tears when a
sudden drop in the market sweeps away
the money their husbands gave them
with which to pay the family grocery
bllI-the great horde Of s1ittle fellows
who, In the aggregate, contribute the
enormous sums of unclean money which
flows into the pockets Of the profession
al wheat gamblers.
- In Summing up, Mr.. Edgar expresses
the opinion that the end is not in sight,
for the general public still has some
wool on It's hide and can stand further
shearing.

TWO MEN CHARGED
WITH A MURDER
Minneapolis EIectrotypers Ap.
pretended and Taken to
Buffalo for a Hearing

Joseph Knitle and Ole Larson, two Min
neapolis electrotypers were arrested late
yesterday afternoon by Detectives HELM
and Hansen and almost Immediately
turned over to deputy sheriff from
Wright county.
) The arrests were made on telephone in
structions from Buffalo and as soon as
the deputy sheriff arrived he presented
q warrant charging the men with muir
der in the first degree and fastened for
the train with them.
The men are accused of the murder of
Henry~ Fashank, whose dead body was
found on the 500 tracks near Annandale
on the morning Of Sept. II. His head was
crushed and bloody coupling pin was
found in the vicinity Of the body.
Suspects at AnnandaIe
Knitle and Larson went to Anflandale
on a hunting trip on the evening of Sept
10 and returned the next night. They
are said to have been in company of the
dead man on the night of their arrival
at Annandale and to have taken several
drinks with him. Why they should be
suspected does not appear, but, never
theless, the Buffalo authorities ordered
their arrest and that they be taken there
for examination
Larson lives at APT Fourth street south,
and last night Mrs. Larson said she was
aware that her husband had gone to Buff
falo, but she understood he was wanted
merely as witness in connection with
the finding Of the body.
Wife Suspects No Wrong
You don't think he is accused of muir
der, do you?" she asked The Gtob 9
last night.
My husband and his friend went to
Annandale week ago last Saturday
night and returned the next night He
told me they did not do any hunting, for
in the morning they found the body of a
man on the railroad tracks and reported
1t to the officers and they had no time to
hunt that day. He told me all about the
finding of the body, and 1 think he is
wanted as witness. He sent boy to
the house to tell me he would not be home
for supper and went at once to AMMAN
dale.'' II &
Mrs. Larson did not seem to be worried
over the charge made against her hus-
band and asserted he would have little
difficulty in proving his innocence.
Little information could be cleaned from
the deputy sheriff who came for the men.
for he was in the city only few mo-
ments between trains and the detectives
who made the arrest were unable to fur
nlsh any information. The arrests were
made on complaint of w. H. Cutting, the
county attorney of Wright county.
Knitle is married and lives at 624 Penn
avenue north.

POPU[ISTS NAME
NO STATE TICKET
Decide. to Name Electors But
No Candidates for Other
Places

The action of the Populists gives
scant comfort to the followers of Rob-
ert c. Dunn, Republican candidate for
governor.
Last night a number of the repre-
sentative men in the party assembled
at Hotel Nicollet in Minneapolis. Vic
tor 3. Lawson, Of Willmar, presided.
1t was decided not to nominate a state
ticket, but to name eleven candidates
for Populfst electors. as follows:
At Large j. J. Hibbard, of st.

Eighth. A. Reyes, of St Louis.
Ninth--M. ]. DAILY, of Ottertail.

find that most of the Populists will
cast their votes for the brilliant young
man the Democrats have nominated.

CAMPAIGN TONIGHT
ST. Paul, Saltwater and Country
to Attend Big Minneapolis
Meeting

- : : -
The Democratic campaign WiIlasbe
opened with a great gathering at the
international auditorium formerly the
exposition building at Minneapolis to-
night.
John A. Johnson, candidate for gov
ernor. will. be. the principal speaker.
He is expected to declare The issues
that will control in the state cafnpaign.
Mr.. Johnson has, 1T is nderstood pre-
pared a speech In which hewins dis
cuss state%issues from his Standpoint
and that of all friends of good gov
eminent. 1t will be alike Interesting
to Democrats and Republicans.
Mr.. Johnson will be followed by Fen
dali G. Winston, candidate for lieuten-
ant governor. C. d. O'Brien, of St.
Paul, one of the veteran Democrats
of Minnesota; D. w. Lawler, of ST.
Paul, once the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party for governor of Minneso-
TIA and an eloquent orator; H. L. Buck,
of Winona, chairman of the state cen
trail committee for the past two years
and an earnest, uncompromising adyo-
cate of good government, are the other
speakers who will be heard.
Congressman John Lind will preside
at the big exposition meeting. Mr..
Lind is not candidate for any Office,
but he is heart and soul with the state
Democracy. He will open the meeting
with brief speech, in which he will
give his views on the issues.
While the meeting will be in Mime
apolis, it will be by no means confined
to Minneapolis people. Delegations
from ST. Paul and Saltwater will at
tend and it is expected that many Of
the leaders throughout the state will
be present. I'D
E. L. Murphy has charge Of the Ram
sey county arrangements for the meet
ing. Two special cars will be in wait
ing at the Ryan hotel and will leave for
Minneapolis promptly at o'clock. It
Is doubtful If these will accommodate
all who will wish to attend from st.
Paul, but the regular cars may be tax
en- by the overflow.
Mayor j. G.. Armson, of Saltwater,
was caller at Democratic state head
quarters yesterday and announced that
a chartered car would convey a party
of prison city Democrats to the Min
neapolis meeting.
Everything points to one Of the larg-
est and best political meetings in the
history Of Minneapolis.

BOARD CHECKS VOTE
Metzdorf One of the Leading
Vote Getters

The figures checked by the canvass
ing board show that Fred Beck Sc
cured the Democratic nomination for
county auditor by a plurality of 141
over j. w. Hinkens. Beck's vote was
2,473, Hinkens' 1882. This result
proves to be the closest on the county
ticket.
The count shows that Peter ]. Metz
dorf fairly ran away from John Wa
schenberger, receiving more than three
votes to Waschenberger,s one. Metz
dorf carried every ward in the city,
and practically all of the precincts.
Metzdorf's vote was 1856, as compared
1880 for Waschenberger. This proved
that Metzdorf is one of the. strongest
men on the ticket.
James Cleary, who secured the
fourth Democratic nomination for
county commissioner, won over John B.
Arend by but &c votes. Cleary received
total OF 2,242 and Arend 2,176. On
the Republican side the result is not
so close. Mic Pottgieser, the fourth
man, had 1882 votes. as compared with
1872 for L. F. Fairchild, the fifth man,
giving Pottgieser a plurality Of $50.
The work of the canvassing board
Yesterday was slow, the proceedings
having been delayed to some extent
by the demand from the state capitol
that return be made on the nomina-
ton of F. G. Stevens for congress. 1t
is said by the members Of the board
that it will not be possible to complete
the count by this evening, and that
therefore the candidates will not re-
ceive their certificates until Tuesday.
1t was discovered that the Judge of
the Fourth precinct Of the Sixth ward
had locked the tally Democratic legis-
lative returns in the ballot box, and If
these returns are secured It will be
necessary to secure an order from the
district court. The missing data is
important because Of the close result
between Anthony Yoerg and M. p.
Moriarty, the latter winning by seven
votes, The unofficial returns from the
precinct show that Yoerg carried it
by one vote. If this return is not
counted Moriarty will therefore carry
the ward by eight votes.
1t is not thought that Mr.. Yoerg will
contest, he having yesterday stated
, that he had no intention of so doing.

INSISTS ON $50 FEE
Secretary of State Asks Presi.
Dental Electors to Put Up

Contrary to an opinion given by the
attorney general, Secretary of State
Peter E. Hanson has notified the presi-
Dental electors on the four presiden
tial tickets to be voted on in Mime
sofa this year that they must forward
to his Office fee of $50 each as a pre-
requisite to having their names ap-
pear on the official ballot for the cleo
ton Nov. s.
Secretary Hanson is quoted as say
ing that another law has been found
which nullifies the attorney generals
ruling Of last Saturday. The attorney
general had held that presidential cleo
tors did not come within the meaning
Of the officers for whom "compensa-
ton" is provided, and that therefore
they need not pay the filing fee Of $50
each.
F. B. Kellogg, member of the Repub-
lican national committee, is credited
with being responsible for the change
Of front at the state capitol. 1t Is said
that he advised the secretary Of state
that there was an open question wheth-
er or. not the attorney generals view
was the correct one, and that to be
absolutely certain about Minnesota's
electoral vote being counted the secre-
tary had better notify the candidates
to come forward with their fees.
LIE secretary mas diTtduy Hotilcu
the candidates. One of the electors has
paid the money under protest and
threatens to test the case, but here
comes the question whether or not the
secretary Of state may be mandamused
and compelled to put the names of the
electors on the official ballot.
The new ruling means $4,000 to the
state, provided all the electors pay the
fee. 1t is doubtful, however. If all do.
Whatever the result the view Of the
attorney general seems to have short
shrift In the Office of the secretary Of
state
