Jones Is Winning His Way.

Mayor jones' campaign has pro-
crossed so that the loyal men who are
surrounding him see clear evidences of
a favorable conclusion of the mayor IS
strenuous labors of the past two weeks.
The republicanism Of this city is rally
ing to his support In admirable style.
His meetings are growing in interest
and in attendance. In the wards
where it was the brag that ne need not
show himself, he has shown himself and
has been received with enthusiasm. In
the wards which were friendly to him
he has also shown himself and the
demonstrations Of loyalty to his adj
ministration there. have done great
deal to solidify the forces for good gov
eminent in other portions Of the city.
The logic Of the situation continues
to be with the mayor and the opposition
continues to jar itself against the solid
rock of the mayors impregnable posi-
ton. The very last argument used
against the mayor that he is weak
candidate before the people has broken
it's force by drawing from Nj. Jones
series Of speeches which have demon
strated that he is not only strong in
his convictions, but powerful in his
statement of them.
His has not been campaign OF pref
ty platitudes interspersed with light an
ecdotes, but an earnest appeal to the
best ideals Of government and fat
footed demand that the republican
party in Minneapolis live up to the
historic proclamation of the national
party, that it is a party of high moral
ideals. -.- -s...a
The mayors position is eminently
practical, businesslike and frank. He
is not crusading against the saloons.
He has merely set himself against an
unjust and an illegal encroachment of
the saloons. When the republicans
think 1t over they have absolutely no
quarrel with Mayor Jones or his ad-
ministration. If he had notFclosed the
saloons it is not thinkable that any
republican would have opposed him for
denomination with the slightest hope Of
success at the primary. The republicans
would have said to such an opponent.
*.tJones has made a good mayor.
He is entitled to denomination. ism t

$4,000 a week. The campaign against
Jones is thus Enthusiastically laid down
on the lines of his enforcement of the
laws. It comes back always to that
proposition and the, mayor puts it up
to the republican party to say, not
whether it will sacrifice him on that
issue, but whether it will sacrifice itself

Minneapolis, Ninn., sept. ~, 1906.
d =, 81 Hubert City Treasurer, City-Dear Sir:
answering your communication of this date, in
which communication ID enclosed II clipping from
sEne minneapolis Journal of yesterday entitled
fair play," in which Communication certain
seetions of our city charter are quoted, would
say that the sections quoted are in practice
dead letters. This 80 because Of other pro-
visions lof the charter relating to the designa-
ton OF repositories which absolutely tie the
hands OF the city council. The provisions quoted
and referred to in the aforementioned article
are and always have been. a nullity because
OF the inability of the council to comply with
other provisions Of the charter Very respect:
fully, Frank Healy,
| d City Attorney.
Mr. Healy's opinion proves my posi-
ton to be correct, and the. publica-
ton OF these misstatements at this time
Indicates that the intention Is to call my
integrity In question and thereby adj
vance the interests of Mr.. Johnson. The
opposite effect Will doubtless result, for
my thirty years OF business activity in
this City, and my reputation for personal
integrity effectually refute any attacks
upon my character for political purposes.
There Is, am sure, general amaze
ment and regret that the eight gentle
men (and particularly Mr.. Moulton)
signed the article in question, charging
me with misstatements, without first in
forming themselves Of the facts in the
matter. &c. s. Hubert,

Mrs. Eliza Glessner- Mann Cox Brown Of
West Newton, Ind has added the name OF
Poulson to her combination Of names. She
was so years old when she decided to
plunge once more into matrimony at the
call OF Cupid.
Mrs Poulson probably is the oldest
woman that ever inserted matrimonial
advertisement in a newspaper When Cupid
tagged her into the game OF love she looked
around. but could not see suitable man
for her fourth husband. All the men she
know were married or ineligible. She in.
serted a notice in the paper for an elderly
gentleman Of moderate means; would pre-
fer man with military record; object, mat
rimony." In response to this businesslike
appeal George +. Poulson Of Culver. Ind.
appeared.
Mr.. Poulson was an old soldier and had
been married few times himself He full
filled the requirements and was willing,
but not overly anxious.
I'm a good old locomotive, but I'm on
the track again" he said to the marriage
license clerk at Indianapolis when he ap-
peared with his Octogenarian bride on his
arm and asked for the papers There was
some delay on account Of the absence of
the deputy, and Poulson started home.
I'm not going TO hang around, here and
lose my sleep" he said. IT'S growing
dark now, I'm not that anxious TO be
married"
But the grandmOtherly bride made him
wait, although II was IL o'clock before the
