Disaster Laid to wreckers.

That wreckers were responsible for
the terrible disaster is the theory adj
vanced by Chief of Police Maxwell.
He believes river pirates may have
purposely wrecked the train for spite.
The police have discovered that Dan
iel Stewart, tender of the bridge, re-
Gently had trouble with river pirates,
and twice had been assaulted because
of his warfare upon them. Chief Max
we'll believes it is more than possible
some of the rough element may have
tempered with the draw out OF re-
venge. Detectives are now looking
for three men who may be able to
throw light on the disaster.
Mans Remarkable Story.
Among those reported missing was
William H. Stewart, of Wenonah, N.
j., whose wife and son are included
in the list of dead. Stewart was To-
Gated Monday night in the city hos
pital, suffering from shock and
bruises. He tells a remarkable story
of his experience. With his wife
and their adopted son, Stewart occu-
pied seats in the second coach. When
the train plunged into the stream, he
saw his wife and son hurled to the
floor of the car. Stewart, who had
been sitting near window. was
thrown into the water. When he
came to the surface, he foated
through an open window back into
the coach, and his hand came in con-
tact with the bell rope. BY means
of this rope Stewart dragged himself
to the door of the car and was soon
on the roof. The coach had been
! completely engulfed and from his
perilous position he was rescued and
hurried to the hospital in an uncon-
scious condition.
Trucks Are Examined.
j A railroad official said Tuesday that
an examination of the trucks on the
wrecked cars indicated that the first
car of the train could not have been
the car that twisted the rail. The
! truck of the second car IL is assert
ed. displays signs of having caused
the trouble. 1t is said that when
the second car entered the draw Sec
ton of the bridge the structure be.
gan to jostle under the heavy strain,
/ and the second car left the tracks,
dragging the others along. This the
ory of the railroad officials is not
agreed to by witnesses who saw the
nrain go overheard. They claim that
3e front car left the bridge first and
dragged the others with 1t. The eye
witnesses point TO the fact that the
drSt and second cars were discovered

The Cole aggregation is now con.
soling itself with the probable fact
that the socialists of the state will
vote for their candidate. Probably
true, but the Shevlin-socialist combina-
ton will not have votes enough TO
elect their man. The great, intellt-
gent independent vote of the state
cannot be overthrow by such insig-
nificant sideshows.

he POINTED The way
GOVERNOR JOHNSON ENTITLED
TO CREDIT FOR REDUCTION
IN FREIGHT RATES..

The Cole supporters say that Gov
ernor johnson is not entitled to credit
for reduction in freight rates because
Republican legislature authorized
the railway and warehouse commits
sion to investigate and reduce rates.
and that the investigation was made
by the commission which issued the
order on which reductions were made
But the railway and warehouse com.
mission had been in Office for four
years before 1t began this investiga-
ton. Governor Van SAINT had been in
Office four years. but he had not told
the legislature, as did Governor John
son at the very beginning of his term,
that Railway rates are much higher
In our state than across our border in
Canada. That there is an unjust dis
elimination there Is no question. Rail
way rates are lower in Iowa than in
this state by Is to 40 per cent. Some
thing is radically wrong with system
at such a disadvantage" Governor Van
SAINT did not recommend to the legis-
lature at any time during his four
year term. as Governor johnson did
at the beginning Of his service. that
joint legislative committee be appoint
ed to investigate rates with view to
establishing by law maximum tariff
rate for transportation within this
state which shall be based upon a rea.
sonable rate of interest and profit on
the investment. and which will be fair
to all parts of the state and absolutely
prohibit an unjust discrimination be-
tween localities or individuals"
At no time during his four years of
service did Governor Van SAINT do
these things, and. furthermore. never
before in the history of the state did
the legislature undertake such an in
vestigation. Why not? Tho legisla-
ture meets every two years, and the
unjust conditions pointed out by Gov
ernor Johnson have existed since rail
roads we're operated in the state. AS
a. matter of fact, the Legislature had
governor had pointed out just what
was to be done and how it should be
done.
Isn't It strange that this railway ana
warehouse commission never made a
move for general reduction Of freight
rates until they had been informed by
Governor johnson that the reason this
had not been done was because of a
lack of aggressive administration
rather than to a lack of legal author
ity'' Search as far as you will in tho
instance in which governor Of tho
state directed that the legislature and
railway commission get busy in behalf
of the interests of the people. 1t is q
peculiar fact that Johnson was the
first to Go this and 1t is a striking
fact-a peculiar coincidence to say tho
least, that the legislature and commits
sion, with one accord, got busy"
Mr.. Johnson's opponents may pro-
test as much as they please-they
may proclaim that It was the lcgisla.
ture and the commission and that
Johnson had nothing to do with It,,
but the logic Of the case is against
them. Nothing was done until John
son pointed out the manifest injustice
of existing conditions and indicted d
remedy. The people recognize this
and give to Governor johnson full
credit for reform accomplished.

.FL0CkINC TO JOHNSON
REPUBLICAN VOTERS AND PA.
PERs EsPoUslNG THE CAUSE
OF THE GOVERNOR FOR
REELECTION.

It is going to be a landslide! Thou.
sands of Republicans throughout the
state are pledging their support to
Governor johnson and assuring him
that they will give him their votes
and influence to continue in office. In
every town he visits he wins fresh
converts from the ranks of the Oppo-
sition and the triumphant army which
is fighting this great battle moves
forward with new impetus. In town
in Southern Minnesota where the gov
ernor spoke few nights ago prom
inent banker said:
Il intended to vote for Mr.. Cole,
but after hearing Governor Johnson's
account Of his Stewardship. backed as
every word of it is with evidence
which stamps it's truth, have changed
my mind and shall vote for Gov
ernor Johnson. do not see how any
man who listens to that story and
considers the proofs that substan-
tiate It can cast his vote any other
way"
This is the testimony Of but one:
thousands are offering like assur-
ances. Wherever Governor johnson
appears he receives an ovation. The
people flock to hear him as to no other
speaker, and his message is most con-
vincing. Those who listen to him
come away his friends and support
ers.
Republican newspapers, too, are
throwing off party shackles and rally
ing to the johnson standard Last
week two Of them announced that
they could not conscientiously sup
port Mr.. Cole as against Johnson One
Of these, the Crookston journal, said
in part:
1.-The Journal is a Republican paper
and will at all times support Repub-
lican nominees unless there is an cx-
,cellent reason for not doing so. At
the present time the Journal wishes
to state most emphatically that there
is no objection to A. l.. Cole person
ally, but there is serious objection to
the element that is behind him. He
was given the nomination., practically,
by the lumber barons and railway mag
mates. who we're afraid of jacobson.
He was defeated by the rotten COM
binc which was afraid of the election
Of such a fearless man of the people.
These reasons are sufficient in
themselves to warrant the Journal in
taking stand for the reelection OF
John A. johnson, were there no 9th
while the Journal is Republican, 1t
stands now, and Away will stand, for
the people as opposed to political dom
nation by the corporations. There
are too many corporation-controlled
papers now, but the Journal is one
that refuses to be battered"
The Review, published at Adams,
Mower county, also bolts Cole and de.
clares for johnson, saying:
1.-THE Review is by politics Re-
publican paper and will continue to be
so, but the fact that Mr. Cole is a
known candidate of corporate inter-
eses and If elected will be a pliable
/ tool in their hand is in itself sufti.
ciert reason why the Review cannot
support him. He is man wholly
without the force or power that has
characterized the administration OF

Frosty Thomas went in to pitch for the mill

Minneapolis vacant-lot league artist. Thomas

seven hits, while thirteen safe bngles were
made off Hckey's delivery Of these being

The first inning looked good to the fans, as
Davis and Sullivan both singled, but they were
doomed to disappointment. as the next three
men were easy outs. The second inning was
also blank, but In the third the millers made
one run. Davis doubled and was advanced by
Sulivan's sacrifice and moment later scored
on a single by Gremipger. Edward would have
also scored, but in attempting to steal sec
