.bSSStOu teGt0UuSs
From Thursdays Daily.
The county canvassing board began
its work at ten o'clock this forenoon,
and the outlook is that it will not be
able to complete its labors until tomor-
row. The board is composed of Chair
man Charles Jones of the county board,
Clerk of Court Thorne, Judd Cornell of
Mapleton, Julius Reinsburg of Madison
Lake, and M. HI. Caller of Vernon Cen

this morning, and the board was not
caused any delay because of belated re-
turns.
Up to two o'clock this afternoon, Will
liam McQueen's vote for representative
was increased by 20 votes, through an
error in the unofficial returns from
Beauford. McCleary gained ten votes in
Lake Crystal and Guttersen nine.
Before the board met, it was discov-
cred that the Lake Crystal vote for w
E. Edwards for sheriff gave him ten toe
many, as reported by telephone. This
increases Sheriff Williams lead by that
number.

WOULD IMPEACH A MAYOR.
St. Cloud Official Will Have to Face
Serious Charges.

st. Cloud, Sept. 2O.-Papers in the
suit of the state of Minnesota ex rel
the attorney general VS.. j. E. c. Rob-
inson, mayor of the city of st. Cloud
are in the hands of Stearns county of
ficials for service on the defendant.
The gravamen of the action is to de-
clare a forfeiture of office under section
4545 of the Revised Laws of Minnesota,
which provides that. an action may
be brought by the attorney general
against a public officer who does or
suffers acts, which by law cause a for
fixture of office.
The acts charged against the mayor
are the wilful violation of sections
1861, 1862, Revised Laws 1905, where
by it is made the duty of the mayor of
a municipality, among other officers
named, to make complaint of known
violations of the liquor laws of the
state. His refusal and neglect so to
do, works malfeasance in office, and he
can be punished by a forfeiture of Of
flee and the imposition of a fine not ex-
ceeding $500 and not less than 500.
No lawyer at st. Cloud was willing
to take charge of the case, and the ac-
ton locally is represented by George w.
Peterson, formerly county attorney.

ENLIGHTENMENT CHARGED.
Warrant Charges Jabez r. Lloyd With
Being Short S765.

from NluHudy > bdly.
A warrant was issued today for the
arrest of .Jabez r. Lloyd, the former
Jackson street music dealer. on the
charge of grand larceny i'll the first de-
gree. The complaint is signed by H.. Nj.
Hume, and alleges that on Sept. Il
Lloyd embezzled $I65 from Dyer Broth
ers of st. Paul, whose agent he was.
LLOYD was engaged in the business at
Lake Crystal several years ago, until
the store that he occupied burned from
some unknown cause one day. After
that he located in Mankato, and until
the Ekie block of Jackson street. He
cot into financial straits and Dyer Broth
ers had five pianos removed from his
store. Then Lloyd gave the First Ma
tional bank a bill of sale of his property.
Dyer Brothers claimed that Lloyd owed
them $I65, and gave him until Saturday
TO turn the money over. 1t was thought
that relatives of Lloyd would come to
his assistance, but they did not, it seems.
Lloyd admits that he owes Dyer Broth
ers $235. He lays his trouble to a lack
of money to carry on the business. He
knew of the impending prosecution, and
when asked two or three days g wheth-
er he had any idea of skipping out said
that he did not have. as that would do
no good, for he would be located sooner
or later.

Politicians Of East Ask
About GutterSen.
SITTING UP; TAKE NOTICE.
Washington Men Are Surprised at The
Remarkable Run Made BY the
Lake CrysiaIite.
lrRoM THEsr PAUL DISPATCH.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 24.-The sec
ond congressional district of Minnesota
is now regarded as doubtful by the man
ayers of both the republican and demo
cratic campaign bureaus.
That the tide of tariff revision is run
ming strong in the southwestern u
ties of the state. is manifested by the
close shave that McCleary, the sitting
member, had in securing the renomina-
ton on his platform of standpatism. 1t
is pointed out that McCleary had one
of the most perfectly equipped ard best
maintained personal organizations that
ever went into a campaign. He had
every voting precinct of the district,
and in his home county he had more
than that number. He had the free
use of the mails in circulating hills,
mountains and elevations of campaign
literature. and public documents. He
had a force of government employees
from Washington who did his clerical
work gratis. and reduced his campaign
expenses.
And yet with all these substantial ad-
vantaoes, Gilbert Guttersen. unaided, by
any powerful corporate interests, and
with only his own personal efforts and
those of his true friends, came very
close to defeating Mr.. McCleary, who
b%Oastfully claimed as soon as the polls
closed that he would carry every county
in the district, and that his percent
age of votes would equal that of two
years ago.
Politicians here are beginning to in
ouire "about that man Guttersen." They
want to know something of the fellow
who has cut down McCleary's majority
to a mere baeatelle NTH all of his
prestige as the champion of the stand
pat policy, Mr.. McCleary, according to
the dispatches actually received a min
ority of the votes cast in the second
district for congressman.
With his pronounced and radical tariff
views; with his vacillating record on
the currency question; with his failure
to make good in his claims of carrying
the district by an increased majority,
and with his selfish schemes whereby
he is appointed special disbmrsing
agent" to pay himself for travelling ex-
penses, Mr.. McCleary is facing a hard
fight, according to the books and pa
pers.
And wei should he win out, these
questions will confront him. Does he
or does he not represent the views of a
majority of the people of Minnesota
on the question of a revision of the tar
if? Will he still continue to advocate
the ribald and %ruinous doctrine of re-
vising the tariff upward? Will Mr.. Me-
Clcary press his two bills to increase
the tariff on German imports to the
amount of % per cent raise? What
position will be occupy as a member
of the ways and means committee in
the event that it is decided to revise
the tariff?
The Minnesota republicans have gone
on record i'm favor of a revision down,
ward on certain schedules.
Will McCleary heed that admonitioI
or still cling to standpatism with hi
very fragile endorsement on Sept. Is, a
the primaries?

Among Horsemen.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Speaking of the revival of interest in
timer said today that in the seventies
there was an excellent mile track on the
old Shaubut place, in Germania park adj
dition, and that it was a famous place
for races. Some of the greatest races
in the northwest were held there, horses
being brought from as far away as Ken
lucky and other southern states. As
high as $4,000 would be staked on the
races in purses and side bets.
The track vas so dry that fifteen
minutes after a rain it could be used.
