New Lieutenant Governor Begins Task
{ Of Making Up His committees-Fred E.
Wheaton Strong Possibility for Sur
veyor GeneraI-Fred Ryan Fighting for
- Reappolntment In Duluth District.

A. o. Eberhart, lieutenant governor
eject, was in the twin cities yesterday
and met several Of his Old senatorial col
leagues, over whom he will preside at the
| coming session. Mr.. Eberhart has his
hands full making up the committees Of
the new senate. This Is task of the
utmost Importance, and it will be I'M
possible to suit every senator. They are
putting in their requests for committee
assignments now, and, Of course, every
senator wants places on the best com
mittees. Mr.. Eberhart will spend two
days out Of each week in St. Paul for
tnree or four weeks preceding the ses-
sion, for the purpose of meeting senators
who want to see him. By custom the
lieutenant governor does not have much
patronage, as that was long ago taken
by the senators into their own hands.
Fred E. Wheaton Of Minneapolis seems
a likely choice for surveyor general in
this district, to succeed F. q. Winston
next April. Mr.. Wheaton worked hard
Tor the ticket and made good showing
as candidate for clerk Of the supreme
court. 1t is believed that there would be
little objection among democrats to his
appointment. Governor Johnson has not
taken up consideration Of these matters
at all, but the situation looks favorable
TO wheaton. ss7 :. e.,
In the Duluth district there is apt to
De another row like that of two years
ago. Fred L. Ryan is fighter, and is
not disposed to give up his berth as sur
veyor general He will probably have
once more the powerful backing Of A. c,
weiss Of the Duluth Herald, and in that
case 1t Is thought Ryan will have the in
side track. The Hearst faction at Du-
luth downed Ryan in their county con-
ventlon and claims the right to dictate
the patronage at the head of the lakes.
Ii 1t fails to get Ryan's scalp there will
be music in the air.
speaking Of MIR. Winston, 1t is popu-
lar observation in political circles that
ne had i'll luck to run for lieutenant
governor two years ago, instead of this
FALL: In 1904 Mr.. Winston lost by 42,595,
running 6o,461 behind Governor johnson
If he could have run this year, and fol-
lowed the governor at the. same respect
ful distance, he would have been elected
! by over 100000.

The Alliance of Workman and
49,. Farmer,

A most interesting phase Of the
American Federation of Labor meet
ing, now; in progress in Minneapolis,
is the effort to make an alliance be-
tween the workingmen Of the cities and
the workingmen of the country; in other
words, between the trades unionists and
the farmers. The proposals made, and
tentatively adopted, contemplate an
agreement on the part Of the Fedora
ton that its members will strive to
purchase only farm products bearing
the label of the American Society of
Equity, the farmers organization,
which on it's part will insist on the
union label for manufactured products.
This may perhaps prove practicable,
and, so far as carried out, will tend
to strengthen the hand Of each organ
ization in the class from which it draws
membership. But behind this agree
ment is the belief and hope, frequently
expressed by speakers for both organ
izations, that in some way the middle.
man and his extortionate profits is to
be eliminated. In some way, the work
z man is to buy direct from the farmer
at lower prices than he now pays. In
some way the farmer is to sell his pro-
duce direct to the workman at higher
prices than he now gets. In some way,
not yet pointed out by any proponent
of the plan, the farmer is to get higher
prices and the workman to pay lower
s prices than now. E, &
The term middleman' in our: COM
phcated modern system means much
more than it once did in the primitive
days when each city lived on the prod
uco Of its surrounding territory, when
the producer and the consumer might
q come into actual contact in the market
place. Today the northwestern farmer
3 raises wheat and beef for consumers
many thousands of miles away. For him,
9 middleman' means the buyer, the
4 railroad, the miller or packer, the job.
Der and the retailer all rolled into one.
How can an alliance such as the one
under consideration eliminate or even
greatly modify this middlcnan' ~
That is the problem. Monopohstic
combines and the discriminating re-
bates on which they are founded may
Z be (and are 'being) eliminated But
how can the Minnesota farmer, for in

FAVOR THE CANTEEN
Rechabites Believe It. Is in Interest of
Real Temperance.

Washington, Nov. l6.-The resolu.
tons favoring the restoration of the
army canteen for the sale of beer and
light wines to soldiers under proper re-
strictions. unanimously adopted by. Adj
vance tent, Independent Order of Re-
chabites of this city, perhaps the Oldest
temperance organization in the world,
have aroused great interest in temper
ance circles.
Many members of this order are men
who have served in the army, know all
about the evil effects of excessive
drinking from personal experience, and
they realize that the abolition of the:
canteen is responsible for the increase
OF drunkenness among soldiers.
Under present conditions, the soldier
drinks at low resorts on: the outskirts
Of army posts without any restrictions
whatever. With the canteen, as advo-
Gated by the Rechabites, he will drink
under government. supervision and re-.
!, strictions,: under which overindulgence
is impossible. - - Z
In addition, the Rechabites propose
that the government, in framing the
| ly in favor of beer, which has a very
small percentage of alcohol and light
wines. 1t is believed that the soldier
will be satisfied with these beverages
| obtained under favorable conditions,
and that he will be less likely to in
dulge in vile and ardent liquors than
at present.
This action of the Rechabites has the
support of army officers and military
organizations. The Spanish war vet
Grams, at their recent convention here,
! unanimously directed its legislative
committee to9press congress for the res
toration Of the canteen. ~
The Rechabites maintain that by
making it possible for soldiers TO OBJ
| tain such comparatively harmless
liquors as beer and light wines under
government regulations. the cause Of
! true temperance will be better upheld
than by driving themto low resorts be-
yond the government reservations.
