SHERIFF BAILEY LEADS BY BARE NINETEEN VOTES IN THE CLOSEST
POLITICAL FIGHT RECORDED IN THE HISTORY OF BEITRAM COUNTY
.PINKERTON DETECTIVE is
LOOKING FOR BANDITS
Shrewd SIueth Visits Ben1idji in Quest
Of Clues as to Identity Of Safe
Blowers.

Special Detective Callihan Of
the Pinkerton agency has been
working III Miaot fpr several days
collecting evidence to show that
the Denbigh bank was robbed on
the night of October 13 by The
bandits who footed the Saw, er
bank.
It is said that aim osta perfe, t
chain Of evidence has been Sc
cured to show that both bs
were done by toe same gang.
The theory is that the Sawyer
bandits bad been in Minot for
several days prior to the Den bigh
robbery and that they left for
Denbigh on the afternoon of
October 13, in a two-seated rig,
which was secured from one of
the Minot livery stables. The
rig was returned to Minot on the
afternoon of October I 4.
This theory is also held by
Chief of Police Hagen.
II am satisfied that the Der.
bigh bank was robbed by the
persons that looted the Sawyer
bank,'' said Mr.. Hagen today.

that both jobs were done by the

new CODE LOWERS BARS
FOR ELECTION EXPENSES

A prominent attorney of this
city claims that the new code of
Minnesota laws has so changed
the corrupt practices act that
there is now no limit to the
amount a candidate may spend
to secure his election. While
thellaws now in use limits the
amount that may be spent to Sc
cure a nomination, the limit
upon election expense has been
entirely omitted from the code,
undoubtedly through a mistake.
The attorney says of the
matter:
"The corrupt practices act,
passed in 1895, placed an exact
limit upon the expenditures for
nomination and for election, but
in the revision of the laws two
years ago the statute has been
so amended that the limit upon
nomination expenses remains,
but there is no limit placed upon
the expenditures for election.
"Other provisions Of the law
remain the same. The candi
dates must file an affidavit, giving
their total expenditures, but
there is no limit to those ex-
penditures, and no penalty for
spending more than a certain
amount.
THE law OF 1895 was, in sub
stance, as follows: NO candidate
shall by himself or by or through
any agent, in the aggregate, pay
out or expend any money or any
other valuable thing, in order tc
secure or aid in securing his
nomination or election, above
certain specified sums The
limit was $3.50 in com ~ unities o1
5000 voters, with proportionate
increase for a larger vote.
"The revised statutes have
omitted the words :or election.
The law, therefore, permits 8
candidate to spend as much as he
likes for his own election, though
it prevents anyone spending
more than the specified sum TO,
the election of anyone else; and
requires candidate to file 8
statement of his actual expenses
after the election.
81 believe the change in the

law has been the result of an
omission or mistake, but as far
as l can see, it entirely removes
the expense restrictions at gen
eral elections.
