Minnesota Politics
Spots Where There u Hostility to sena-
tor Neison--A. sFlIlna svvasted In, the
slxth-A. l.. Cole Royalty Received.

The anti-Nelson campaign is making
little impression on the state as a whole,
but is strong in spots. There are three
or four counties where there seems to
be a spirit Of active hostility to the sem
.ator, and the members from these coun-
ties will probably form the nucleus If an
organization is attempted to defeat Nell
son. In Rice county the anti-Nelson
sentiment has its headquarters in the
office Of the Mortified News. In Meek
er the large Swedish vote is anti Nelson,
and John w. Wright of Litchfeld, the
only republican candidate for the SEN
ate, Is openly against Nelson. R. c.
Dunn has turned Mile Laos county
against Nelson, and there is also a large
Swedish vote in that county and Isanti
that is hostile. The nationality feeling
is not general, however. 1t has only
broken out in few localities. .
There was a $40 bill wasted by some
friends of Congressman Buchanan the
other day. They knew Of the democratic
scheme to hold off and make no nomina-
ton, but run an independent candidate
against Buchanan if he should be nom
mated. -Four years ago in the Morrison
Crow Wing district they headed off just
| such scheme by getting C. D. Anger
candidate for the senate. This headed
off the independent move. On Tuesday,
finding there was no democratic entry
for congress, the move was repeated, and
the same man was induced to file as a
democratic candidate, to head off Dr. Du
Bo1s Or any one else from running indie
pendent. The filing was made wednes-
day. Meanwhile the democrats had TAX
en- counsel, had changed their minds and
decided to run Judge Tiff Of Long
Prairie as a straight democratic candi-
date for congress. He also filed Wednes-
day, and the Anger filing was wasted
| Reports from the southern Minnesota
towns where A. L. Cole is touring are
coming into state headquarters. They
all tell of a hearty welcome given the
candidate and say that he created a
most favorable impression. At Kenyon,
dodge Center, Rushford and Caledonia
he made many friends. He made only
one speech in Kenyon, and has devoted
his time in other towns to getting &C
quainted and making himself known to
the people. Very few first district people
have ever seen the candidate before. He
spent today at Lanesboro and Spring
Valley, and will stop at Owatonna to-
morrow on his way back to st. Paul.
T. T. Ofsthun of Glenwood, a pronli-
nent member Of the house for three ses-
sions. has withdrawn as a candidate for
the senate, leaving a clear field to G. j.
Gunderson of Alexandria, who will sue
= coed Senator Ward. Gunderson has been
at outs with his neighbor, Senator Nell
4 son, in past years, but of course will be
a Nelson man in the legislature, coming
from the senator's home district. Mr..
tOfsthun will be succeeded in the house
by E. NJ. Webster of Glenwood. a.

Fred Hammond and William Cassel-
man, hired as special policemen by the
Northwestern Foundry company dur
ing the strike Of the iron workers, have
been sent to the workhouse for sixty
days each for assaulting M. M. Dill
and P. W. Farrell; strikers, on Aug. 2.
The arrest of Hammond and Cassel-
man followed the acquittal of Farrell
and Dill in police court, where they
were tried on charges Of disorderly
conduct preferred by the special pc.
icemen. At that trial Casselman and
Hammond testified that the defend
ants had called them names Dill and
Farrell, however, proved this to be un-
true and also introduced testimony in
tended to show that the special police
men had told their friends that there
ought to bersome excitement, no mat
ter who started it. Judge E. F. Waite
found Dill and Farrell not guilty and
City Prosecutor All Finney mediately
issued a warrant for the complaining
special policemen. j. = Si%4.
The evidence in the case = showed
that while Dill and Farrell were
talking quietly, Hammond and Cassel-
man came up and accused them Of call
ing them names.ss They. denied. the
charge and the special policeman be
came angry and proceeded to- beat
them, afterward locking them up on
a charge Of disorderly conduct. Several
disinterested witnesses told "a straight
story of the affair and Judge Waite

Owned 100000 Acres of Western Land

William Scully, formerly Lord
Scully, of London, Eng, died in Lon
don last week.
He was a peer until 1900, when he
became a citizen of the United States
and settled in Washington, d. c.
His fortune is estimated at about
$50,OOO,OOO, including 100000 acres of
land in Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska.
His first land was bought in Logan,
Livingston and Sangamon counties
Illinois, and the remainder in Kan
sas and Nebraska.
William Scully was the son Of Den
mis- Scully, prominent in the Irish
emancipation cause and the first Irish
student in 200 years to be admitted
to Trinity college, Cambridge. He
studied law in a Dublin office, later
upon the passage of the corn law in
1916 selling his estate and coming to
Illinois.
Travelling the country on horseback,
he commenced to invest in land and
by urging progressive farming con-
tinued to acquire property up to the
time of his death. He leaves two sons
in Washington, d. c., where the body
will be brought for burial.
