Buchanan Leaders In Sixth Claim to Have
Regained Lost Ground. Bringing Some
Of the Men Who Helped Induce Lind.
bersh to Run. Back into the Bucl<ma an
Fold

Things have been doing in the embat-
tied sixth district since the state conven-
ton, and as result the supporters Of
G, B.. buchanan are wearing a more snil-
Ing @countenance than they were a month
or 80 ago. Some effective work has been
done in lining up the old. Buchanan ma
chine, and it is claimed that nearly all
the breaks in that mechanism have been
patched up. James A. Martin of St..
Cloud and c. G. Eastman of Wadena,
who, were in council with the anti-Buck-
man leader instrumental in getting c. A.
Lindbergh to file for congress-, are both
said to have landed plump In the Buck
man camp, and one story Is that Martin
will take active charge of the Buck
man campaign. The anti-Buckman men
are pretty sore over this turn in things,
and are freely charging treachery. They
are inclined to ascribe the change largely
to Senator Nelson's influence. The senior
senator is known to be strongly for Buck
man, and in the last year or two he has
given the congressman very material as
sistance. Martin Is his appointee, eprac-
tically, and if Martin gets into the fight
actively for Buchanan, it will be charged
to the senator's influence. -
Feeling among the rank and file In
many parts of the sixth is very strong
against Buchanan. The Lindbergh cam
paign is going right ahead, and with a
full turnout at the primaries the new
man still stands good chance Of winning
out in spite Of the antics Of the leaders.

It rained at the psychological mo-
ment last night to keep the people away
from the Duss band concerts at Won
derland. It was too bad, too, for the
program was an unusual one, including
compositions that are rarely heard and
new arrangements Of others, that while
familiar are always favorites.
Duss and his methods grow in favor
with those who are attending the con-
certs regularly, of which there is q
large contingent, some of which attend
both afternoon and evening concerts
It is apparent, also, that the Duss repor-s
tory is wonderfully comprehensive and
up to date. What repetitions there are
have been thru requests. Duss has
fixed on Saturday as German day, when
the works of composers of that nation
atty will be prominent on the program.
The program for this evening is as
follows:

Attendance at Eastern Racing

By Far the Rest in the History
OF Speed Contests.
10000 CROWD DAILY.
A Poor Lot of Horses Contested
for the Big Purses.
One Feature Was Bitter War

New York, Dec. 1.-THE racing sea-
son just closed is possibly the most
unique and remarkable in the history
Of the eastern game 1t has been the
most successful from the attendance
standpoint, yet never before has such
poor lot contested for the rich prizes
hung up by the different racing asso-
Citations. Millions of dollars have. been
circulated by over 100000 race-nad en-
thusiasts, most of which has gone INTO
the Golfer Of the Jockey club. With an

is not over estimated.
The 1906 season will hold a consplcu-
Gus place in turf history for many rea-
sons Chief among these has been
bitter war against the pOolroom inter-
ests on the part of the various racing
associations, at the instance of the
Jockey club. At Albany, last winter,
racing was in danger 1t became nee
essary for the Jockey club to make GER
tain promises to inimical interests, and
on the strength of these much tormlda-
BILE opposition to racing was withdrawn
The Pinkerton forces, to whom the
work of foiling the poolroom interests
was intrusted worked faithfully, If,
perhaps, Electrically to harass the pool
rooms, and they succeeded fairly well.
At the same time the war was a dis
tinct annoyance to the patrons of rae
ing, because jockeys names were with

and various other things contributed TO
their discomfort Yet. the people were
patient because of the principle involv-
ed in the fight
There is no doubt that the poolrooms
suffered. not only in the accuracy of
patronage. which was forced from the
rooms to the course So it happened
that this fight, which was forced on the
Jockey club. proved somewhat profit
able for there were greatly increased
attendances during the season
The attendances constitute the second
feature of the season 1t was by Tar the
greatest year in the history of eastern
racing. from the gate money point OF
view. The average daily attendance
during the spring and summer was per

20 600 people at the course and holidays
Increased this number up to 10000 and
20 600 OF course during the fall these
a+tendances scaled off. until during the
closing weeks 1000 was a-good average
daily attendance while Saturdays fur

that IN the present rush of business
there is no time to send them to the
shops for repairs
1t is not thought likely that the
roads are deliberately holding back
cars Indications point to the cOnclu-
sion that they are doing all in the pow
er to relieve the situation, but the dis
covery that it is not a lack of cars
which is causing the trouble brings
with 1t little encouragement to the
shipper. Whether he is unable to get
cars from the railroads because they
have none or whether it is because
there would be no way to move hem

the end.

There are more than 800 empty cars of

MAY REDUCE THROUGH RATES
Railways to Revise Chicago-New York
Rate to Amount of Locals.

Kate to Amount of Locals.
Chicago, Dec. 17-Passenger officials
of all lines from Chicago and St. Louis
to the Atlantic coast will meet in New
York December 10 to determine wheth-
er general revision of intermediate
rates is necessary to avert a serious de-
crease in their through rates.
The interstate commerce commission
recently made ruling that whenever u
through rate was found to be in ex-
cess of the sum of the local rates it
would be considered prima facie evil
dence that the through rate was excess
sive.
It has been found by railroads that in
two distant points were higher than the
sum of rates for trips between inter
mediate points.
New York Chicago Rate $19-S5.
The through rate via the Fort Wayne
line of the Pennsylvania system from
Chicago to New York is $40. Its local
rate from here to Fort Wayne is 1918,
and from Fort Wayne to New York
S16.10, the total being 1885.
Such trffiing difference might be
ignored by the interstate commerce
commission, railroads believe, but they
fear many other through rates, when
compared with combination of local
rates, might be held illegal.
Low Fare TO Gotham.
If the Pennsylvania, to meet cOmpe-
tition, reduces it's Fort Wayne-New
York rate to $3.50 it will be obliged to
reduce its ChicagO-New York rate from
$50 to 1925 The Lake Shore would
follow its example. The differential
lines would probably make their Chi
cago-New York rate from SIS to ST 25
with the result that all of them would
lose thousands of dollars annually. The
Central Passenger association tried to
settle this question, but failed to do So
Hence the meeting to be held in New
York next Thursday.
