MAY BE MISLED ON
STATE AMENDMENTS
Voters Should Note that Constitutional
Amendments Appear on Ballots in
Order Different from Attorney Gen
erals Explanation. .

The three proposed constitutional
amendments which. voters will be asked
to rule upon at the polls are placed on
the printed ballots in different order
from the arrangement in which they ap-
pear on the official announcement of the
proposed amendments as prepared and
sent broadcast turnout the state bv the
attorney general. If this is not borne
in mind by the voters, confusion and
costly mistakes are apt to result and
may mean the defeat of one or more of
the amendments.
In the announcement by the attorney
general, which has been published gen
orally in papers turnout Minnesota and
which will be posted on election day in
every voting booth, the first amendment
explained is that of the so-called "wide
open' tax amendment. A voter on
reading the explanation of this amend
ment might naturally vote on the uues-
ton in the first blank space under the
head of Constitutional Amendments. -
The wide open tax amendment, how
ever, comes in second place, instead of
first, on the ballot. The first amend
ment on the ballot is that permitting an
increase in the road and bridge tax. This
amendment is the second one explained
in the official publication signed by the
attorney general. The third amendme mt

$500 CARLOADS OF
APPLES FOR NORTHWEST
Bumper Crops in All Apple States Glut
Market with Fruit. Forcing Prices
Down.

T. Twenty-Five hundred carloads of ap-
pies have been shipped to Minneapolis
fruit and commission men this season
and more are coming. In one day 800
carloads were received.
As result, apples are down to $3.50
to $l.75 a barrel on the retail market.
AS the freight rates are from 40 to so
cents a barrel from Missouri and from
go to 80 cents barrel from New
York, the commission men complain
that they are hardly making expenses
On the transaction.
Unprecedented apple crops in all the
states are the cause of
this .glut of apples on the market. Mis-
souri, alone is said to have picked
enough apples to- supply the entire
United States this season, and New
York and Michigan are not far be-
hind. Arkansas and Kansas are also
high up in the apple column. The sim
ultaneous occurrence of bumper crops
in all these states is the cause of the
big deliveries of, apples in Minneapo-
lis. Not all the fruit will be consumed
here, as Minneapolis is the distribute
ing center for the northwest and a
large portion Of it has been reshipped.

The speaker cited a case Of work

how he had been accustomed to spend
good share of his Sundays and much
of his income in the saloons, with the
result that he was absent from his
work fully one-half of the Mondays in

HEARST MEN HIT HAYNES

The Hearst votes the candidate on

fact that Hearst is in the public eye

OF the sights cast on the Hearst cause

READY TO BUILD SCHOOLS
Board Sees Way Clear to Begin Three

Plans for the fifth high school and the.
new Laurel school are being completed
by e. s. Stebbins, architect for the
board of education, and will be submit
ted in the near future. The board is
disposed to hurry the matter Of building
these schools, as it has sufficient means
at it's disposal. It is possible that the
Laurel school will be made large enough
to accommodate both the Laurel and
the Jefferson districts
This is much. desired, as the Jefferson
school. located on Seventh street and

ton for public school building and

an opportunity for disposing Of the prop
erty. -

Dunn got many democratic votes, the
majorit..' # them Irish, and this vote
is goins for Johnson in the main. 1t
does not seem likely that this element
amounts to more than 10000 votes,
however, and johnson stands to lose
more than that number of republicans.
Practically half his vote, or 10000,
was republican last time. He will
lose by the falling off in the total vote,
too, alroost as much as the republican
candidate will. NJ
/ Headquarters Work Over.
The campaign is practically over as
far as the state committees are con
cerned. The work of the press bu-
reaus is done, and the speakers bu-
reaus have shut up shop. Only the
faithful heads of the work remain on
deck, and they will keep headquarters
open till the result of the governor
ship contest is known. Closing meet
ings will be held in nearly every coun-
ty Monday night. and Tuesday it will
be up to the local committees to get
out the vote. Their task will be diff
cult, more so than usual, as there is
marked apathy in many counties. The

cuted vigorously in some localities,

Hennepin Uncertain.
The result in Hennepin will be
watched with great interest. 1t seems
likely that the contest between John
son and Cole will be close, and Hen
nepin may tell the story, as it did two
years ago. It is hard to determine the
drift in Hennepin, because the mayor
atty campaign has overshadowed every
thing else. Cole will profit by the as
sociation Of his name with Jones, and
by the fact that the Cole and Jones or
ly together. Republicans claim the
county, while democrats claim all the
way from 1900 to 5000.
Mr.. Cole feels confident Of victory,
and this view is shared by Senators
Nelson and Clapp, J. F.. Jacobson and
others who have been over the state
stamping for him. They all think repub-
Hcans are swinging back, into line by
many thousands during the last few
days.
D: D. Daily, chairman of the demo.
cratic executive committee, says there
are only four counties in the state
where he will admit that Johnson will
lose from his show two years ago. Those
are .Hennepin, Stearns, Rice and Fart
bault. In every other county he ex.
poets a gain for Johnson.

BIG AUTO SEASON
Harry Pence Tells About the Big De-

Harry Pence Of the Pence Automo-
bile company has just returned from
trip east. While in New York Mr..
Pence witnessed the 100-mile race for
stripped touring cars. The Buick s
victory was nothing less than sur
prise. It was thought that the car
would make a good showing, but there
were very few people who believed that
notwithstanding its excellence it had a
chance Of beating cars two or three
times as high powered.
There were eight starters in the race
and the 22-horsepower Buick defeated
the 60-horsepoWer Mercedes; a 40
horsepower Cadillac and other we'll
known machines for high power.
Mr.. Pence says that 1907 is to be the
great season for automobiles, and that
