TRUE BILLS RETURNED IN MIN
NEAPOLtS.
MILWAUKEE MAN IN NET
None of Interested Railroads Expect
ed Indictments Would Be- Returned
and Laughed at Grand Jury Pro
ceedines-charged With Granting
Rebates to Grain Companies.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-IndlctmenlS
have been returned by the special fed
eral grand jury which convened IN
Minneapolis October % to investigate
alleged freight rebates. In the case
of the railroads the indictments con-
tanned 147 counts. The minimum
penalty for conviction in each case is
81 900 and the maximum $2O,OOO.
None of the interested railroads eX-
nacted that any indictments would be
returned against them. Each COM
pany had disclaimed, with apparent
sincerity. the possibility of any Grim
inal act in their relations with me
grain companies concerning which
their employees had given testimony
before the jury.
Were Not Expected.
# is believed that the grain conlp@'
MES and individuals connected Win
them had received no mixing OF the
fact that .ney were being investlgat-
ed by the grand jury. NO member
of either grain company was called 20
the stand, nor was any of the railroad
men indicted who had testified before
the grand jury.
Although attention was constantly
called to the fact that only men OF
clerical rank and of subordinate
traffic positions were being calleu
70 the witness stand, the higher Of
fcials failed to tumble to the pro-
Inability that their own calling would
he of a more serious nature. They
laughed at the jury proceedings, al
Though many entertained secret mis-
givings at the length of time taken
Inv the jury in their probings and the
fact that back of the investigation
was H. B. Duncan special agent OF
the department of justice, who had
h,,oueht so many similar investiga-
lions in other places to an indictment
stage.
Broke All Records.
In the fact that the jury broke all
records in this district for length OF
it's sittings, and for care in its exam
ination of witnesses was conveyed a
significance which was not thoroughly
grasped by the railroads and shippers
generally, and at last it is borne in
on them that possibly the present is
only the beginning of an investigation
of other cases concerning which the
government has been offered in for
nation.
List of Indictments.
True bills were returned as follows:
Great Northern Railway Co., six in
dictments, five officials.
Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha railway. three officials.

Hearst Beat Democrats

District Attorney Jerome said OF
the recent election:
IF Hearst had not undertaken to
sandbag the democratic party into
accepting him and had made him
self an integral part of the democra-
tic party, the result, in my opinion,
would have been a sweeping democra-
tic victory He would have power
full and important portion in it. He
did not take that course, however,
and don't see how he can become
candidate in the democratic party
again. The American people are al
ways willing to forget and to forgive.
Hearst can do much good yet, and II
he handles himself with good poise
and Judgment in matters generally
he can accomplish much good. He
must abandon the wholesale abuse OF
ANYBODY and everything and must
confine himself to attacking IN
clean way the abuses which he wants
to be forgotten and forgiven. He could
be of service to the organization. He
must decide his course, however"

LEGAL FIGHT IN NEW YORK

Republicans Determine to Demand
Count of Defective and Protested
Ballots.

Concord, N. H, Nov 9-U1ofic1al
returns in New Hampshire indicate
that the voters failed by margin OF
10 to elect a governor. The state
law requires the successful candidate
to receive majority over the other
candidates, and Charles M. Floyd, the
republican nominee, falls short just 10
of receiving the needed majority.
The legislature will elect the next

That you may know who I I'm I will
make the following statement:
I am one of the early settlers in the
county coming here in 1885 and buy
ing a section of land in Glendale twp.
and adding to that from time to time,
but losing heavily in later years by
reasons over which I had no control.
I conducted a blacksmith and wagon
business in the town of Hope and have
done work for the greater number OF
the farmers in the south half of the
county. I have paid more taxes into
the County Treasury than the average
farmer. have always supported the
Republican party though willing for
every voter to use his own franchise
right according as his own concience
dictates. l am out of business and
can give my whole attention to the
work of the office.
If you can concienceously give me
your support in gaining this election
shall feel very greatful and will en-.
deavor to do the business SO that you
will have ne cause to regret.

A FARMER.

Our worthy contemporaries,
the Sharon Reporter and the
Finley Beacon, scooped us in
publishing the names of the can
didates on the Democratic ticket
last week. We are good guess
ers ourselves but preferred to
wait until the selections were
made. Last Thursday night a
meeting was held at Coopers-
town at which time b. D. Wash
burn was decided upon for the
Senatorial candidate. The full
ticket will be found in another
column.

The Republican Central Com
mittee has issued a call for a
mass meeting to be held at Sher-
brooke on Thursday, May oath
at HOO a. m. The meeting is
called for the purpose of getting
the voters together to discuss
the Primary Election Law and to
endorse delegates to the state
convention and to transact other
business that may come before
the meeting. The Committee
is pursuing the proper course in
this matter and it does not pro
pose to have a few meet in secret
session to do the business that
should rightful]y be done open
and above board. We hope every
voter will turn out and attend
this meeting.

A Farmer writes an open letter
to the Binford Times in which
he states several pertinent facts,
as follows:
Binford, May 8, 1906.
Editor Times:
In a recent issue of your paper
| noticed a letter from M. B.
Cassell, of Mayville, advising the
voters of this Legislative district
as to whom they should nominate
and elect to represent them as
senator in the next legislative
assembly. Now what has Mr..
Crane done or what record has
he made to call forth this eulogy
from a conservative man like Mr..
Cassell I fail to see. AS a rep
resentative of a majority of the
people Of this district it seems
to me Mr.. Crane was a failure,
He only supported the prohi-
bition law under protest and was
the first member ever sent from
this district to discover that the
governor needed carriage, hor-
ses and coachman, and intro
duced a bill carrying a four thou
sand dollar appropriation for the
purpose, which was later cut in
half,
Mr.. Cassell says Mr.. Crane is
a fighter. He may be but he did
not make a very strenuous fight
to keep down the appropriations
of the last legislature in as much
as he voted to spend two hundred
and ffty-fve Thousand dollars
more than estimated revenues OF
the state. Does this seem as il
Mr.. Crane was fighting for econ.
omy in public expenditures OF
trying to lower the taxes of his
constituents? Mr.. Moores, his
opponent, speaks very plainly on
this subject and says in his plat
form that he pledges himself te
work for lower taxation, and
further, that he does not favor
the sale or bonding of public
lands for the purpose of a new
capitol building, something Mr.
Crane favored at the last session
Of the last legislature. Mr.
Cassell speaks of Mr. Cranes
experience; did his experience
of four years ago enable him tx

1 am opposed to any action looking
towards resubmission. I am in favor
of the present prohibitory law and its
rigid enforcement. If elected my vote
and work will be in behalf of the
temperance aus l am opposed to
the rule of Alex. Mckenzie in our
state politics. l believe the people of
North Dakota are eminently capable
of governing themselves and should
not delegate this authority to any
man or set of men. Home rule and
not gang rule is my platform. Let
the people do the bossing and not the
politician. The surest way to bring
this about is through the primary
election. I therefore favor the ex'
tension of the primary election laws
of this state to cover all state officers
including congressman and U. S. sen
ators. I am opposed to the re-elec
ton of Henry G. Hansbrough to thu
U. S. senate. But in this I promise tt
consult the wishes of my district ant
be governed accordingly. I believ'
in economy in the expenditure of pub
lie funds and pledge myself to wor]
