thru his pockets, overlooking $50 IN
cash, and then wrencheds1a diamond
stud from his shirt. This they dropped
in their hurry to get away.
Several men in w. T. Mccain g liv-
cry stable saw the trouble and ran

took Schilling, who was breathing hard
and trying to compose himself: He was

REMARKABLE PROGRAM
FOR MASS MEETING

The campaign in Minneapolis, espe-
cially the mayoralty campaign, IS
unique in many ways, but one OF the
most extraordinary features will be the
mammoth nonpartizan citizens mass
meeting at the Auditorium Monday
night. It is regarded as a most hope
full sign, an indication that good cltl-
zenship is determined and will be tri-
umphant. II.
On the program are prominent men
of Minneapolis who, under ordinary con-
ditions, would be in all probability
backing different interests OF would not
be actively engaged in the campaign.
The presiding officer. is w. D. Wash
burn, former United States senator.
The speakers are s.. R. Van SAINT, for
mer republican governor; James Gray,
former democratic mayor; f. Il. Win.
ston, one Of the leading democrats OF
Minneapolis, who two years ago was
ernor and a few weeks ago was chair
man Of the democratic State conven-
ton; Professor J.. S. Carlson, repre-
sentative Of the state university and OF
the Scandinavian citizenship OF Mime
apolis j: L. McCaull, representative
Of commercial =. Minneapolis; Andrew
Henderson, chairman of the recent char;
ter commission, and closely identified
with the labor interests Of the city, and
W. J. Dean, once a prominent prohlbl'
ton mayoralty candidate. No mayor
atty contest in the history of the city
has been able to bring to its active
support such widely separated political
interests, drawn together at this time
solely in the interests of good ,citi
zenship and the welfare Of the city.

HARRISON TO HIS FRIENDS
CANDIDATE FOR BENCH ANSWERS
SOME CRITICISMS OF MEN Or
POSED TO HIM.

Judge A. M. Harrison's candidacy
for Judge Of the district court was en-
dorsed and an organization was formed
to further his interests at large non
partizan house meeting held last night
in the upper end Of the twelfth. the
Judges home ward. Speakers from
both parties told of the high esteem
in which Judge Harrison is held.
After thanking his friends for their
kind interest and enthusiasm the. judge
entered into brief discussion Of some
Of the misstatements circulated by per-
SONS interested in the campaign Of the
democratic candidate.

been a corporation lawyer and a COR
poration judge,' he said. "During
my twenty-three years in the practice
Of law much more Of my time has been

Minneapolis against Swift & Co. has

DEMOCRATS PLANT
MANY COLONIES.
CROOKED WORK FOUND IN DOWN
TOWN PRECINCTS.
Scores Of Names Registered at the Pri-
!. maries Are Found to Be Unknown at
Numbers Given and in Some Gases
Addresses Are Not Even lodgings.

No doubt can exist that extensive
colonization schemes are being worked
in the democratic precincts in the low
er end Of the fourth and fifth wards.
1t has been carried on with skill, but
a superficial check Of the registration
which is heavier than two years ago in
spite Of the fact that the districts are
falling off In population every year,
shows the fraud It is the evident in
tention Of the democratic heelers who
manipulate the districts to vote every
thing in sight, but that intention will
be greatly modified by action that is
to be undertaken by the county attor-
ney's office.
The first precinct Of the fifth ward
registered 200 votes against PSI two
years ago: One hundred registrations
are recorded for the block on Wash
ington avenue s nineteen are registered.
ond avenues s.. Seventy-fve of these
have been checked over and twenty
four of those registered cannot be
found or are not known at all about
the addresses given. The other twenty
five registrations are from one lodging
house and are being investigated, as
the house is the one from which bo-
court vas filed at the primaries. The
was never there, and when the case
was brought into court the proprietor
unwillingly testified that Chris Purcell
had registered the name, and he had
never seen the alleged candidate. This
check casts a cloud over at least one.
half the registration Of the block.
Some Particular Instances.
From 100 Washington avenue S ten
names are registered, but six of the
names given belong to persons un.
known at the number. One-half the
house is over saloon. At 112 Wash
inton avenueE nineteen are registered
The place is a lodging house over 8
be identified. At lis Washington ave
nue., eleven are registered and tire,
cannot be identified. In other places
one or more registrations cannot b,
identified. t.
It is noticeable that the houses owe
saloons for the most part are suspi
ciouly heavy, as the occupants Of thes
places are transients only. Ten ar
registered from over the notorious Col,
Mine saloon, and some cannot be iden
tilted. AS the investigation progresse
it develops the registrations have bee,
made from places that are apparentl
used entirely for stores or offices, an

AS WIDE AS STATE

COUNTY OPTION.
Brewers Believed to Have Joined Forces
with Saloon Men Against Jones in
Exchange for Votes for johnson,
Who Is Slated to Oppose County op-
tion

Tho active saloon backing is vigor-
ously denied by the democratic cam
paign committee, and a special effort
is made to divert it from openly jump.
ing into the mayoralty fight, the fact
that the saloon and brewery interests
Of the city are backing the democratic
candidate is coming to the front SO
convincingly that the denials are be-
ginning to excite amusement.

and; governor are not the only ones
interests. Two saloonkeepers are on
the democratic ticket for aldermen in
the third and fourth wards. = Another
saloon man is the democratic candidate
for city controller, and other friends
of the cause are pledged, tho not per-
sonally identified with the liquor bust
ness. Democratic candidates. pictures
are the only ones to be found in saloon
windows. This is entirely true in the
case OF johnson for governor and
Haynes for mayor. Cole pictures have
been refused in both St. Paul and Min
neapolis when the test was made, and
are turning down the tight-lid mayor in
favor of the one whose lid has a hole
in it. .,5.-...
This is not all, however. Unable tc
keep still longer, prominent men con
nected with the liquor interests have
taken to writing personal letters urging
friends to support the various saloon
candidates. The following extract from
a personal letter written by an Officer
Of prominent, brewing company shows
the ilaerest Of the brewers:

this year in electing suitable and lib
eral people, such as will be fair to III

There is strong reason to believe tina
the brewers, in return for assisting tn
local saloonkeepers in their fgh
against Mayor Jones, are demanding
their loyal support Of johnson to hell
the brewers in their fight against tn
county option measure that is t.

announced, the saloon interests thru
