validity. He has pushed the collection
of trespass accounts vigorously and has
started suits to receiver hundreds Of thou
sands from men who unlawfully cut tim
Der on state school land. He has filed
two suits under the antitrust law, the
only ones ever brought In the state, one to
abolish elevator stores, and the other
| to revoke the charter of the Duluth Board
| Of Trade for refusing to deal with the
Farmers, Exchange As a member Of the
state board Of equalization. he has, in
dorsed the attempt to tax Foreign corpora
tions on franchise basis, and has
started proceeding to collect such a
erals record on these and, other public
questions has made him a; leading man
/ in the public eye, and he is considered
one of the most available dark horses for
! governor. He has: steadily refused to
| countenance any such talk, and is an an

| attorney general. For that position he
has no opponent, and many democrats
