The Saint Paul globe., 1904-10-12

whom he entertained at his st. Paul
headquarters.
Il have heard that I was being
watched" Mr.. Heatwole said last
night, "and it seems strange that a
loyal Republican cannot come to st.
Paul to meet his friends without being
shadowed by man in the pay of the
Dunn committee
Mr.. Heatwole' paid visit to the state
capitol yesterday morning and called on
Gov. Van SAINT. The Northfield man
had not been in the governors office
for more than two years, though the
ice for the visit was broken by cas-
ual visit on a train some months ago.
While both the governor and Heatwole
denied that there was any special sig
nificance- in their meeting in the gov
ernor's private Office yesterday 1t is
not considered strange that their re-
lations should be renewed at this time,
when both are at enmity with the Re-
publican candidate for governor Gov.
Van SAINTS quarrel with Mr.. Dunn is
of more than two years standing, but
Mr.. Heatwole's rupture dates from the
day that his man Verify was thrown
overheard in an effort to save the ship
when his sole offense had been his
friendship for the Northfield political
leader.
Martin Appeals TO van oant
James A. Martin, when report had
gone out that Heatwole had had
conference with Van SAINT, came post
haste to the capitol and was closeted
for an hour with the governor. If
you can't help US, don't help Heatwole," ;"
was the burden of his argument to
the governor, but Gov. Van SAINT re-
fused to say what reply he had made
to Dunn'S new manager.
Mr.. Heatwole went last night to his
home at Northf1eld, still declaring in
set phrases that he is supporting the
ticket"
Among the men who were with him
during the afternoon. were Senator c..
M. Buck, of Rice, his home county;
representative J.. B. Kelly, Of Dakota
county; J. C. Hoffman, deputy auditor
of Dakota county; A. B. Kelly, North
field; Postmaster r. G.. Rasmussen, of
Red Wing; Postmaster John Sheehy,
of Montgomery; Congressman G. r.
Davis, of st. Peter, and possibly a doz-
en- others exclusive of number of
st. Paul and Minneapolis Republicans.
HeatwoIe Men Tappy
There were more men and better
men in to call on Mr.. Heatwole today
than there were at the Republican
state committee headquarters" a
friend of Mr.. Heatwole triumphantly
declared last night. "I am not at lib
erty to repeat what was said in the
conference, but if Mr.. Dunn is wise he
will fix this thing up with Joel and
avoid trouble. Mr.. Heatwole not only
spent his time, but expended his own
money in helping Dunn make the win
ming fight for the nomination, and Mr..
Heatwole made promises of rewards to
the Dunn supporters, on Mr.. Dunn's
word, for it all. He cannot expect that
Mr.. Heatwole will stand for this kind
of treatment, or that his friends will
stand for it, either
John Sheehy, who says he is an ar
dent Dunn man, does not like the COM
mittee that is managing the Dunn cam
paign and he does not hesitate to say
so. Sheehy is postmaster of Montgom-
cry, appointed by Congressman Davis,
and was in town yesterday to attend
the Heatwole gathering.
Il am for Dunn" the postmaster said,
"but am free to say that the commit
tee managing his campaign makes me
tired. l was I4p there today and told
them what I thought Of them. / told
Eli Warner ahs about it,. but it doesn't
seem to do any good. Collins late
manager is still. in charge of the COM
mittee."
M. M. Shields, the Faribault editor
and member of the Democratic con-
gressional committee in the Third dis
trict, said the change at the Repub-
lican headquarters would make no diff
ference in Rice county.
."Our county is practically unanimous
for John A. Johnson he said, and all
the switches in the world at the Re-
publican headquarters could not
change our people. They have made up
their minds to vote for Mr. Johnson
and they will do it, irrespective Of
party" -
