VERY MUCH FAKE.
Santo Domineo's Revolutions Are on
the Bum Order.

Union hours are strictly observed by
all Santo Domingo revolutionists anc
though fighting is noisy, no one is ever
hurt, says II. W. Emerson of Mitchell
s. d., to The Minneapolis journal. EN-
erson is seaman in the navy, ant
for sixteen months served on the Yam
kee, which, with $50 marines, was cruis
ing in Santo DOMINICAN waters ready tc
land force to protect American inter.
ests which might be threatened Elmer
son stopped at the naval recruiting sta
ton in the federal building today, as
he passed through Minneapolis on his
way to New York to reioin his ship
after spending a furlough with his fam
lily at Mitchell.
"Santo Domingo is fake said En-
erson. "There is nothing to it, not a
thing. Nothing ever made me so tired
as those sixteen months hanging around
that dub island waiting for somebody
to start something. The only fighting
we saw was a scrap at Porte Platte.
The government troops and the rebels
would fight on the beach every day.
They began at a. M, took time out
at noon and called it a days work at
five.
"Nobody was ever hurt. 1t was like
stage battle and a bum one at that.
The guns they used would shoot around
corner and they never troubled to
aim them-just held them at their hips,
shut their eyes and pulled the trigger,
if there was one. Some guns they used
had to be lighted with fuse and match,
Just like a.fre cracker.
"When one side gets so broke that it
can't buy any more powder to make a
noise with. it is licked. It's Just like
game of poker. They play till one
man has showed in all his chips and
then the man who has few white ones
left rakes in the pot. You can start
a revolution and keep it going month
on 80 cents"

Such an accusation as that which the
above refutes Is on par with some
OF those appearing i'll the extra issue
OF Mankato paper mailed YOU from
Minneapolis barely in time to reach YOU
before voting and without the name of
either editor or publisher or anything
else to show who is responsible for the
contents of that rank publication.
One of the boldest lies in said issue
is that headed Caught With the Goods
on Him. stating that L had sent 10 said
paper by mistake, plate for printing
what they call the 'beef trust cartoon"
and that in accordance with later orders
from me they forwarded said plate to
their namesake at New Tim. The plate
from which the cartoon published in said
Mankato paper was printed, was never
IN my possession nor was it sent by mo
directly or indirectly 'by mistake or
otherwise and anyone having copy of
The New Ulm Journal of Sept. II, can
readily see that the two papers did not
iun the same plate as there is consid-
cradle difference even in the size of the
two cartoons. This nails another lie and
brings to naught their desperate effort
to connect me with one of the comb
nations of capital called trusts. all of
which | have vigorously denounced dur
inc the recent camnaion
Tactics like those mentioned above
and others well known especially to the
voters of Blue Earth and Brown co,n
ties caused my defeat and | humbly
bow to the will of the majority and
again thank those who fought for me
and the principles for which stand. r.
made clean fight, feel highly compli-
mented by the vote received, and if any
thing dishonorable was said or done by

TOLD HIM TO SKiDDOO.
Would Be Preacher Told to Hike Out
of Granada.

Granada. Mimi, Sept 21.-Angry citi
zens and farmers of this vicinity read
the skiddoo act to an elder of tn,
Church OF David who invaded this re
gion, and read it so forcibly that the
parson was only too glad to get out OF
town with a whole skin. When notified
to leave he was warned that he would
be given but fifteen minutes grace. but
it Ne.F4ied out that even this short shift
was more than he really needed, for he
started at once, and on the run. Even
at that some of the more jealous OF the
committee which waited on him could
not resist the temptation to help his
progress with a few good, solid kicks
that expressed more than their words
ever could have done.
The evangelist came into this com
munity several days ago, and began
holding public meetings and also work
ing among the people in house to house
visitations. Among those on whom he
called was Martin Swami, an aged man
and Mr.. Swami soon manifested great
interest in the visitor and his teachings.
At last the evangelist induced Mr.
Swami to donate twenty-five head of
valuable cattle to the church. and in
structed him to ship them to Chicago,
and to pay the charges on them. The
old gentleman consented to do so, and
prepared the cattle for shipment, but at
the last moment his son learned of the
plan and interfered.
Through the son the shipment of the
stock was delayed. and in the meantime
neighbors learned of the affair. An in
dignation meeting was held and there
was some strong talk of tar and feath.
ers or even of lynching, so intense was
the anger of the people. Some of the
cooler heads prevailed. however, and a
committee was appointed to wait upon
the ''elder" and give him notice to leave.
As soon as he learned the temper of the
citizens he seemed glad of chance to
get out.

Statement Made BY Hon.
Gilbert Guttersen.
AFFIDAVIT IS PRODUCED.
He Thanks His Many Friends for
Their loyal Support During the
Recent Contest.

The current issue OF The Lake Crys-
tai Union contains Il signed statement
from Hon. Gilbert Guttersen, and reads
as follows:
| take this opportunity to thank my
many friends who so Loyalty supported
me during the recent political contest.
We won out i'll six of the eleven counties
in the district and reduced my oppo
nents majority of two years ago from
3461 TO 297. Such results are very
gratifying TO me as they must be to you
when it is known that | had no Organi-
cation employed. no one to work for me
at the primaries. did not make single
promise of appointment in case of my
election and received no financial aid
from any source whatever, as well as
the further facts that we were opposed
by the strongest organization in the
state having seemingly unlimited means
and using INSCRIPTIONS methods such as
the circulation verbally and in print of
numerous lies on the eve of hie pri-
maries, to divert attention from the real
issues and coming too late to be denied
through the press or otherwise.
| should like to take up the several
charges separately at this time but
shall not encroach upon tie patience
of the public with such necessarily
lengthy statement. However | cannot
live i'll community and try to be
man among men and allow some of the
false accusations made to hang over me
and my family undenounced.
The statement my dear old mother
published below, explains itself and
nails one of the many lies that
were so generously circulated in various
parts of the district:
