CANDIDATES MUST
PAY FILING FEE
JUDGE DICKINSON HOLDS LAW
CONSTITUTIONAL.
Prohibition Contention that Auditor
Must Enter Names on Primary Ballot
Willy Nilly It Not Upheld Election
Law as Passed by Legislature Held
to Be Reasonable.

Candidates for political nomination
must pay their $40 fee to the county
auditor before their affdavits of candi-
dacy will be accepted or their names
placed on the primary tickets.
Judge H. d. Dickinson announced to-
day that he would so decide in the case
of the state ex rel. William G. Thomp'
son against Hugh R. Scott, county all.
ditor: The plaintiff, candidate for the
legislature, on the prohibition ticket
damus compelling the auditor to accept
his affidavit without the $40 fee pre-.
scribed by law. He alleged that the law
is unconstitutional. Judge Dickinson
after hearing, today Informed the
attorneys that he would deny the ap'
pication and hold the law constitu
tional. ~ MI
Complaint Boiled Down.
In making this announcement in ope1
court the judge said that the plaintiff :
contentious, boiled down, amounted tt
a complaint as to the amount Of thu
fee. He asserted there was no question
but that the legislature had the right
to fix some fee within reasonable bound
and that he did not consider $40 I'm
reasonable. He said that he did no
consider it within the court IS province

amount at which the fee should be
fixed. -. ..... s.. a..
He commented upon the necessity O.
having more. than merely nomina
fee in that If there was not some sucf
check there would be no end Of filings
by men actuated merely by some
caprice, by desire for advertisement, BY
desire to defeat certain other candi
dates, and by other motives.
Fee About Right.
:"We do not know just how the legis
lature fixed this amount Of $10,' sail
the Judge cit had to be figure,
roughly, of course, and if the amour
fixed had been insufficient to cover tn
expenses of election printing Their
surely could not have been any com
plant by the candidates. On the othe
hand, if the fee is little over tina
amount there is certainly no REASONABLE
grounds for complaint. -
In suggesting the suggestion of plain
tiff that the fee was disproportionate t.
the emoluments of the offices and tina
in this way the poor man g constitu
tional rights Of running for office wer
violated, Judge Dickinson said that
seemed to him the present basis was tn
only one On which the fee could b
fixed, since, if it was fixed on a
emolument basis and certain percent
age of the 'emolument charged fo
filing, surely no poor man could run fo
a $4,000 year Office

DESP0NDENT LAB0RER
= TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

Unable to obtain. work and Ill from
exposure, John Martinson, a laborer, IS
years old, committed suicide =. in his
room at 254l Twenty-fifth avenue s,
early Sunday morning by hanging him
self to. the door knob. His dead body
was found at noon yesterday by men
in the neighborhood. .. 100. -. .-
Martinson had been idle for some
time, and his sickness was brought on
by brooding. over his trouble. The
owner Of the, small houses he occupied
told him Saturday that he. would have
to leave, as his rent was not paid, and
the man 8 dependency seemed deeper
than usual. .-..- :..... -. ~
Saturday evening he was in his room
as usual, and neighbors noticed him
moving about until after midnight.
Early in the morning he made moose
of rope less than two feet long and
tying it to the door knob dropped
down on his knees and remained there
until he was dead. III.
| Coroner Kistler viewed the remains
and ordered them removed to the coun'
ty morgue. where they were later
claimed by relatives.

PRISONER
COSTLY TO COUNTY
ACCUSED OF INDUCING OTHERS
TO BOARD AT JAIL.
Everybody Inclined to Stand Trial In
stead Of Pleading Guilty-This Ten
dency Is Laid to Hendricks Door,
and It's an Expensive Thing for
Hennepin.

William Hendricks, United States
prisoner serving sentence in the coun-.
ty Jail for "raising' bills, has cost
Hennepin county hundreds of dollars,
and unless he is removed he will cost
it thousands more.
This, at least, is the theory Of Coun-
ty Attorney Al J. Smith and Sheriff j:
w. Dreger, and they have requested
the federal authorities to remove Ken
bricks as soon as possible.
Hendricks is said to be in league
they are said to have been conspiring
to make all the prisoners stand trial
instead of pleading guilty. In several
cases the defendants were ready to
plead guilty, but for some reason
changed their mind and thus put the
county to some expense and made the
courts and the county attorneys Of
fee great deal Of trouble. These
changes have been traced in nearly ev-
cry case to the influence of Hendricks,
| and Tailor Nels Clausen says that he
is responsible for at least dozen trials
that would not otherwise have been
held.
The climax of the Hendricks system
was reached today when Frank Harri-
son and John STAFFORD, two men who
were indicted for grand larceny in the
second degree, and pleaded guilty last
week, appeared before Judge H. D.
Dickinson, withdrew their pleas of
guilty, and pleaded not guilty. Their
cases had to be continued over the
term and beside the cost Of their trials
| they will have to be boarded by the
county until next fall. These changes
are said to have been brought about by
Hendricks, and the authorities will dc
| everything in their power to get rio
of this disturbing element.
William J.. Mccormick, a young man
indicted for stealing horse and buggy
was arraigned, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to the reformatory by Judge
Dickinson.

He told such straightforward and
