THOUSANDS GO
HOME FOR !" jul =
HOLIDAY TRAVEL FOR sCANDINA-
VANS rs HEAVY.
One Special Train This Week Carried
Nearly 800 Home Goers Who Sailed
Today from Boston and There Are
to Be Several More Special Parties.

Christmas travel to Scandinavia has
begun. Steamship agents have been
booking travel for long time and al
ready personally conducted excursions
have sailed to arrive in the old country
before yuletide.
The 500 Line took out a special
steamship excursion train Wednesday
night. for delivery to the steamship
lvernla of the Cunard line at Boston.
This steamer sailed today with one Of
a series of personally conducted fall
and Christmas excursions. Axel H..
Hoard was the excursion leader repre-
senting the A. E. johnson company,
northwestern agents. Two hundred
and eighty home-goers were aboard the
500 train when it left Minneapolis.
Three more excursions are billed. For
the latter excursion the passengers will
leave Minneapolis Dec. 10, due in
Scandinavia Dec. a.
Northwestern Scandinavians have en-
vest season that during tip slack
months thousands of them will visit
their birthplaces in Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Finland, while imni-
grants of other nationalities are taking
advantage of the rates this way.
Inconsistencies strikes the newcom-
ers pretty hard the first five years, and,
if they have collected enough money
ahead to take the trip, affairs are set
and the start made for a trip which
generally satisfies them that they would
never again be contented on the old
farm in Scandinavia. It is the nostal-
gia cure for many an immigrant and
also results in relatives and friends
breaking home ties for fortune hunt
in the great free country Of America.

tanning notice Of the marriage of Frank
r. Davis, formerly of Minneapolis, have
been received. Mr.. Davis took as his
wife Frances Lewis, formerly a Min
neapolis girl, and sister of F. B. Lewis.
Something of a romance is connected
with this union. Mr.. Davis left Min

liant career as county attorney,t to live at
Los Angeles While there he was attorney
for Miss Lewis, who had married sec
ond time. -Four years later Mr.. Davis

Gated about a year ago by the acct
dental inhalation of gas.

FARM IMPLEMENT TRUST
IS AGAIN DISCUSSED

Rumors of a proposed inclusion of the
entire farm implement business in the
harvester trust are again current. Any
official confirmation Of the progress OF
the deal is lacking, however. A man
close to both the implement and the
harvester business said today that the
International Harvester company abso-
lutely denies the purpose to manufac-
ture a full line of farm machinery.
Should it do so it would be necessary
to take in one of the implement con,
Germs Of national fame and established
reputation. He said that the harvester
trust followed the Standard Oil method
of never giving anything out until it
was actually accomplished, and then
only so much as it thought ft.
When the harvester trust was formed
the rumor that the big company would
take in both the Deering and Meteor
mick companies was ridiculed as impos--
sible, while it later transpired that not
only were both concerns under one roof,
but two or three other firms as well.
1t is the belief that should the har-
yester trust take in the implement
business it will find two or three sturdy
Competitors, not only for the harvester
business, which it now practically
monopolizes, but also for the implement
trade. .... ii ,. a E. is ...a. +

.CLAPP SHES AT
THE COOPER BILL
DECLINES TO EXPLAIN ATTITUDE
TOWARD THE MEASURE.
It Is Rumored in st. Paul Today That
His Position Is Likely to Estrange
Him from the State Administrative
Duluth Appointment Makes Trouble.

The pathway Of Moses E. Clapp, lead
ing back to the United States senate,
is bestreWn with difficulties in increas-
mug number. Today his attitude on
certain live railway questions is ques-
toned and he does not make answer.
The interview he had yesterday after
noon at the capitol with Governor S.
comment. The general opinion is that
it was regarding the address Governor
Van SAINT gave last evening at Cannon
Falls on closer governmental control
Of railroad rates and the gov
ernor's bold Endorsement of the
Cooper bill, now in the hands
of a congressional committee of
which Senator Clapp is a member. The
story is that Clapp wanted Van SAINT
to handle the subject with kid gloves
and that tho Clapp is at heart opposed
to the measure. such announcement at
this stage of the senatorial contest
might prove fatal.
Senator Clapp was seen at the Mer-
chants hotel, st. Paul, this morning
and asked if he was willing to go on
measure. -
"Why, no; I don't care to-, was
mediately turned on his heel, evidently
not desiring to meet further questions.
With Van SAINT and his TRENDS IN
dorsing the Cooper bill, and with Clapp
refusing to express himself in favor OF
the measure, it is question how long
the administration forces will stay by
Clapp, as the issue is bound to increase
in Importance daily. -
Is Bede Miffed?
Another story this morning was that
Congressman j. Adam Bedel and Sen
ator Clapp cannot agree on federal
appointee as collector Of customs at
Duluth. Rumor says that L. NJ. Will
cults, the present incumbent, was un-
friendly to Bede in his congressional
campaign; that Bede considers that as
the office is in his district he should
have some voice as to who should fill
it. He wants some other man than
Willcuts. Clapp, on the other hand, is
friendly to the present incumbent.
Further developments may mean the
withdrawal of Bede's support of the
present junior senator for reelection.
There are rumors today of an i'm
portant meeting in the near future of
the powers that be in the Hennepin
county republican ranks, to bring out
the senatorial candidacy Of J. B. Gill
Gllan more formally. And political
gossip from good authority is that when
Gilfilian shows his hand it will be an
eye-opener to the opposition. A few
days will probably see Gilfillan head
quarters opened in st. Paul as we'll as In
Minneapolis. ,H .a,.:

IT COST MR.. JONES SIS
TO BE ELECTED MAYOR

It cost D. P. Jones just $l5 to conduct
and win one of the most strenuous
mayoralty campaigns ever conducted in
Minneapolis.
d This surprising bit of information is
sworn to by the mayor-elect in an aft
davit of expenses filed with the city
clerk.
Of the $15 amount, $40 was paid to
the county auditor for filing his GER
tificate of nomination and the remaining
filing his certificate of election.
When asked concerning this expense
affidavit, Mr.. Jones said that the money
spent in his campaign was donated and
used by gentlemen interested in his cleo,
tion and with whose business the can
didate had nothing to do.

JONES WILL GAIN
IN The RECOUNT
NO CHANCE FOR HAYNES TO
MAKE GAINS.
Recount of the Votes on the Judicial
Ticket Was Called OFF This Morning
by Mutual Consent ~ Gains and
Losses in Thirty two Districts Can:
vassed No Serious Discrepancies
Discovered.

David P. Jones will probably gain
rather than lose by the recount of the
ballots. From the lessons of the judi
cial recount, the judges of election as a
rule, reported fewer votes than were
actually received. In the fist few
precincts of the first ward, the republi-
can candidates made slight gains and
the further the recount progressed the
greater grew the vote.
Should the same rule apply in the re-
count of the MAJORITY vote, the plural
ity for Jones will be much larger than
that returned by the canvassing board.
There seems to be no chance for James
G. Haynes to gain, as all the ballots
are so plainly marked that none Of
them can be thrown out. Occasionally
q Judicial ballot was rejected because
five candidates had been voted for, but
such cases were extremely rare. ,,
Judicial Recount Abandoned.
The judicial recount was called off
this morning after all the precincts in
the first and third wards and two test
precincts in the fourth and fifth wards
had been recanvassed. The errors ex-
pected did not develop and, by mutual
agreement, the work was abandoned.
In thirty-two election districts Andrew
Holt gained 10, H. D. Dickinson 6, 4.
NJ. Harrison 3, J. D. Smith 81 and F.
G. Brooks lost votes. This increased
j. D. Smiths plurality to 400.

IS 500 HEADED
FOR RAINY LAKE?
THIS BELIEF STRONG AT THIEF
RIVER FALLS.
Line Northeast from That Point Would
Penetrate a Fertile Country Which
Is Soon to Become Mecca for Set
tiers No Road Traverses the Dis
trict as Yet.

While no official confirmation is
vouchsafed, Thief River Falls business
men are assured that the 500 line will
build northeast from that town to the
Rainy lake country, possibly Koochi-
ching. The information leaked out in
conference regarding some privileges
asked by the management in that town,
including first thirty acres for ter
minals, and later, as substitute, the
vacation of certain streets for right Of
way. It was promised the townspeople,
it is stated, that following the improve.
ments made b., the company, Thief
the year following the changes.
Such an extension by the 500 line e
would tap fine timber country and if
continued to International Falls would
give the road traffic which is being
sought also by the Great Northern in
an extension to the same town. Mime
apolis capital is to be expended in
large sums on both sides Of the river
at International Falls in the develop
ment of it's industries and Of the region
lying about. The traffic will be enor-
NOUS and would promise much business
