CRITICISE THEIR
PRESIDENT, MOORE
Republican Leagues Elect oncers After
Display of Bad Blood

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Oct. 6.-At the
opening of the second session of the ma
tional convention of Republican leagues
today President Moore abruptly announced
that the election of officers would be the
first order of business. The names of
President j. Hampton Moore, of Philadel-
phia; Scott Bonhan, of Cincinnati, and Dr.
J. P. McFatrich, of Chicago, were placed
before the convention The nominating
speeches displayed some feeling, many of
them being devoted to criticism or de-
fense of the administration of President
Moore. Frank P. Lindsay, of Kansas; H
T. Leafitt, of Nebraska, and Alfred E.
Lunt of Massachusetts, campaign organ
izer Of the College league at Western Re-
publican headquarters, said the lack of
organization in their states was due to
the failure of the national president to de-
vote attention to them. The. first two
seconded Dr. McFatrich's nomination and
Mr.. Lunt supported Bonham. They
charged that there was cut and dried
arrangement to re-elect Mr. Moore.
The ballot resulted: Moore, 793 2-3;
Bonham, 287 2-S; MeFatrich, 24s 2-3. The
election of Mr.. Moore was declared unani-
nous. The other officers elected We're:
Vice president at large, Sid B. Redting,
Arkansas; secretary, E. w. Weeks. Iowa;
treasurer w. G. Porter. North Dakota. A
platform was adopted.

KNIVESOUT FORDUNN
Watonwan and Cottonwood
Counties Refuse to Forget

"The Republicans of Watonwan and Cot
tonwood counties have not forgotten the
methods employed in the Republican
state convention said George Remple,
banker of Butterfield, Watonwan county,
at the Hotel Frederic last night. ..They
are not saying much and are not inviting
The antagonism of the politicians, but
when they vote it will be to resent the
high handed treatment given their dele
gates when they came to ST. Paul last
June. I look to see r. c. Dunn run sew
eral hundred behind his ticket in Waton-
wan county when the votes are counted"
Mr.. Remple was formerly in the grain
business and is one of the best posted
business men of Watonwan county. He
has large acquaintance in Cottonwood
county as well, and says that the same
conditions of rebellion exist in that coun-
ty. There are large colonies of Russian
Germans and German -Austrians in both
counties and the accommodations of the
rural free delivery routes have put them
in close touch with the political situa-
ton in the state. The efforts of the Re-
publican spelbinders to coax them into
returning to the Republican camp on
state issues will not be of any avail.

DAY PETITION MAY
BE SETTLED TODAY
Supreme Court Will Decide Form for
Judge Brown on State Ticket

Although there was no decision by
the supreme court in the matter of the
petition of Frank A. Day to have the
name of Judge c. L. Brown appear on
the official ballot with a. dual party
designation, it is expected that a de-
eision will be forthcoming today
The three district court judges, who
sat with Judge c. M. Start, OF the su-
preme court, in considering the case,
have gone to their homes and there
viii be no further consultation before
the case is decided. 1t is understood
that Chief Justice Start is to, write the
opinion, which may not be fled for
day or two after the decision is an
nounced. A consensus of opinion
would indicate belief among lawyers
that the court will grant, Judge Brown
the relief for which Chairman Day, of
the Democratic state committee, asks
1t is not necessary that the law be de-
clared unconstitutional to do this; only
that former rulings of the SUI
preme court-notably a decision writ
ten by Judge Lovely-did not go as far
as has been contended by those who
oppose the view of the case taken by
the Democrats.

UP TO COMMITTEE
Democratic Executive BodyWiII
Name CIeary's Successor

At a regular meeting of the Demo-
cratic county executive committee on
Monday evening it is likely that the
vacancy on the ticket for county COM
missioner, caused by the death of
James Cleary, will be filed. Corpora
tion Attorney Michael says that the
person selected by the committee will
be the nominee and that the candidates
who were defeated in the primaries
have no legal claim on the <indorse-
ment
"The matter is entirely in the hands
of the committee said Mr.. Michael,
"and the man chosen will go on the
ballot as the fourth Democratic candi-
date for county commissioner. The
claim of the defeated candidates for
Endorsement is entirely moral in char
acter."
John B. Arend, who ran fifth on the
ticket for the nomination, has been
mentioned for the vacancy, as have also
r. N. Hare and w. J. Preston. Arend
has not decided to ask for the nomina

NO USE TO ASK JUDGE
PARKER TO SPEAK
He Adheres to His Resolution Not to
Take the Stump

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.--Chairman
Taggart, at Democratic headquarters,
gave out the following statement to-
day:
Shortly after his nomination Judge
Parker set about the considerati ton of his
course of action toward the conduct of the
campaign. He consulted many men of
large experience in such matters and
made an examinat ton of the course of
every successful candidate. That done.
he decided what his course should be and
he caused that decision to be made gen
orally known. 1t was that he would not
go upon the stump; that such speeches as
he should deem it desirable to make could
be made at Rosemount, following in that
respect the Mckinley precedent of 1896.
That decision made and announced, he
proceeded to work along the lines he had
marked out for himself. He believed then
-as he believes now-that he decided
rightly and no amount of entreating
would bulge him. His record during all
his life proves that clamor will not move
him one iota. The incident is closed and
those in charge of the campaign fully
approve of the determination of Judge
Parker.
Judge Parker has been importuned
to speak in various states and today's
announcement is designed to prevent
further similar requests

DUNN MEN COMPLICATE
THE LABOR SITUATION
Efforts to Secure Support Mixed by Four
Seekers for Office


The efforts of the Dunn workers to
secure the support of the union labor ele-
ment in ST. Paul has resulted in a merry
row. there being at this date four candi-
dates for the position of state labor COM
missioner, now held by a Minneapolis
man in the persons of John O,Donnell.
Cornelius Quincy is mentioned as the
man most likely to land the plum. e.
B. Lott, at present connected with the
labor bureau would like to be promoted.
William Templeman, president, and A.
III. Garfield, vice president of the Trades
and Labor assembly, are accredited with
having ambitions in the same direction
The result is that it is openly predict
ed about labor headquarters that the
efforts of the Republicans will result in
doing the party considerable damage it
being well known that but one of the
men mentioned can be successful, and
the choice of either would eliminate any
Minneapolis man.

PURSE SNATCHERS
DRAW CUTS FOR JOB
Engage in Gaming Contest to Deter
mine Who Shall Have Booty

Purse snatching has become SO much
of an industry that now when two or
more thieves are in company and they
see a likely victim they draw cuts to
see who shall do the job.
This is the substance of a report
which Miss Rose Hanson, of sc Elev-
enth street north, made to the police
yesterday She says she met two men
on Hennepin avenue and heard one
say:
Lets draw cuts to see who does the
job?'
She fed, but was overtaken by one
of the men, who stole her purse con-
tanning about $40.
Edward Dean and Thomas Pepper,
two boys of about eighteen, pleaded
guilty to purse snatching before Judge
Harrison yesterday The judge gave
them lecture, sentenced them to the
reformatory and then suspended SEN
tence under promise of good behavior.

REPUBLICANS LEAVE
DUNN BY THOUSANDS
Significant Petition to johnson in a Cot
tonwood County Town

Special to The Globe
MOUNTAIN LAKE, Mimi, Oct. 5.-The
opposition TO Candidate Dunn felt here
eliminated today in a petition signed by
nearly $50 voters asking Johnson, the
Democratic candidate, to give Mountain
campaign. Mountain Lake has approx
imately 275 voters, of whom at least 26O
are Republicans.
1t is estimated beyond question that $50
Republicans will vote for Johnson, and
the signed petition is really a call from
Berea to "send the light" 1t is known
that this condition of affairs prevails all
over Cottonwood county; and. while the
county has an ordinary Republican MAJ
jority of 1000, those best qualified to
judge place it in the Johnson column by
1000.

Treasurer Peabody Says All Remit
tances Will Be Acknowledged

NEW YORK, Oct. George Foster
Peabody, treasurer of the Democratic
national committee, today issued an
appeal for contributions for the cam
paign fund. The appeal says:
There are about $4,000, 900 legal voters
in this country and to intellgently pre-
sent the issues of the campaign and the
records of the candidates to this vast
electorate requires a very large sum of
money. The Democratic party has no in
dustrial favorites from whom either by
promises or threats it can draw cam
paign subscriptions, but must rely for
necessary funds upon patriotic citizens
who believe in a government of law under
the constitution. honestly and economi-
cally administered. From all such citi-
gems 1 request such contributions as they
are able and willing to make, for which
prompt personal acknowledgment will be

poles and string wires on a number of

the committee on streets by the assembly,
Messrs. O'Brien and Keller voting against

DR.. Schiffmann suggested that in view
OF the difficulty encountered by the city
in securing the removal of poles and
wires once they are placed that all ap-
plications should be carefully investigated
He also contended that there should be a
provision giving the council power to
have the poles removed at any time This
amendment was agreed to. but reference
was insisted upon, and the motion to
send to committee prevailed by a vote

EACH DAY SHOWS
CHEER FOR TICKET
Gains Constantly Reported for
Leaders of Democratic
Candidates

"The situation? 1t has been good
all along, but reports being received
from all over the state show that it is
improving rapidly, and that hundreds
of Republicans have come into line for
John A. Johnson and F. G. Winston
within the past week"
Frank A. Day, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee
was deep in. his correspondence yester-
day at state headquarters when he was
asked if the acquisition of James A.
Martin to the Dunn campaign commit
tee had had an appreciable effect.
Letters are coming in from our
county. committeeman and from the
party workers all over the state" he
said Without exception they are of
a cheering nature and tell the same
pleasant story of large acquisitions in
every county and town to the John
son strength.
Scent Political BIunder
THAT the change from Heatwole and
Verify to Martin at Republican head
quarters was grave political blunder
is proven by the statements of the
writers of these letters. Compare
lively few of the Collins men have
abandoned the position that they had
taken early in the campaign not to
support Dunn. They said from the
day of the convention that the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Dunn had been unfairly
secured; that every improper influence
was used to secure votes and that the
Hennepin delegation, with the two or
three smaller county delegations
thrown out of the convention by the
Dunn majority, had been fairly elected
q nd q n inc a T.
government to unseat them and to
seat men who had no legal or moral
right to have voice in the nomina-
ton of a candidate for governor.
"They have not, like Mr.. Martin,
changed their position in a night, and
they tell our friends throughout the
state that they will maintain the posi-
ton that they assumed at the start
until the finish.
Gains No Votes
There have been no accessions
from this camp of the Republicans,
and on the other hand there have
been big losses from the Heatwole fol-
lowing throughout the state. In some
towns the only Dunn votes were the
group of men who had been committed
to his cause through their following of
Mr.. Heatwole's star in the political
armament. Ihe result is that the new
deal has been of no benefit, but has re-
suited in loss to the Dunn strength
at large throughout the state.
eve are attending to our own affairs
at Democratic headquarters, and are
engaged in perfecting a complete or
ganization of our own party, but our
reports indicate the situation as I have
outlined it.
Martin has undertaken the biggest
task of his political experience, and
if he is successful in lining up the
recalcitrants he is worthy the name
of political general, and no Democrat
will withhold credit to him for his
success. But it looks as though his
appointment to the management of the
Dunn campaign was one of the most
colossal mistakes in the series that
has marked the campaign of 1904 in
this state"

A preliminary order was passed by the

the intention being to give adequate en-

The object is to secure the lot at the

width that it has in front of the union
