Plainly the opponents of Senator Mel
son have been foiled in their endeavor to
force j. f. Jacobson out as a. candidate
They, have tried repeatedly to bring him
to a meeting SO they could put him I'M
der the, spell Of their combined persuasive
powers, but he has persistently fought
shy of them, as of -"Greeks bearing
gifts.' Last Sunday several of them ar
ranged meeting at Mankato and in
vited Jacobson to; come over and meet
them that day., after speaking at St.
James Saturday might. Tho only an
hours ride from sMankato, Mr.. jacobson
did not go over, but spent the Sunday in

= Sixth district, democrats are reyiying
against c. A.. Lindbergh the story used
oy the Buchanan men in the recent. pr,-
mary contest, that he is in sympathy
with 4catalog or mail order houses, and
therefore an enemy of the retail mer-
chants. A quotation. from an. article
written by him was circulated at that
time to prove the point but it nisrep-
resented Mr.. Lindbergh's position en-
:tlrely' and 1t is surprising to see that the
Commercial. Bulletin of this city has
overlooked his denial, and is urging the
merchants of the sixth district to defeat
Llndbergh for congress. The Little Falls
transcript, which opposed Mr.. Lind
oergh IN the primary campaign, replies
to the. charge as follows: 80
