Robert Dunn declares that''to be
consistent the republican newspapers
that are urging Governor johnson as
"A suitable candidate for the presidency
must support him for third term as
governor, provided he is candidate.
If Mr.. Johnson is the right man for
president he certainly is good enough
for third term as governor of Min
nesota. I'm the improbable event of the
governor securing the democratic nom.

the republicans nominate the right
kind of a man for governor and those
republican newspapers referred to will
have no occasion to support Mr..
johnson for third term.

TILLMAN SEEKS LIGHT
OF President Roosevelt on, Queer and
Cold Deal Given Contractor Oil.
yer Anent Canal Bid.

A resolution was presented In the
senate Saturday by Senator Tillman
calling on the president to send to
the senate, IF in his judgment not
incompatible with the public inter-
est, all papers of information in his
possession in regard to the proposed
letting of the contract for the con-
struction of the Panama canal, which
was bid for by W. ]. Oliver. and
others, and to state the existing
status
In a speech supporting the reso-
luton Mr. Tillman said the whole
country wanted the canal construct
ed with as little scandal as possible.
There have been some remarka-
BILE occurrences in connection with
this work." he continued. Refer
cncc was then made to the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Wallace, who, he said,
was berated and abused By the sec.
retary Of war.
Then came the information that
Chairman Shonts was retaining his
railroad business; that the canal
work vas insufficient to occupy his
entire time, and then the statement
that he was going cut.
And then came Mr.. Stevens resig-
nation. Now comes the matter OF
Mr.. Oli:er's bid for the work"
MIR. Oliver, he said, was an eff
cient and able contractor end his
bid was the lowest. "Rut at once
hocus rocus came into the game. AS
I understand it Mr.. Oliver has com.
plied with every requirement. I may
he a little suspicious, but there has
appeared to me disposition to let
in the bidders who were Q little too
greedy in their first bids. Now Oil
vcr has disappeared and the army en-
giueers are said to be put Or the
lob. I want little information" con.
cluded Mr.. Tillman.
Senator Carmack said he had pre-.
pared an identical resolution to that
introduced by Mr.. Tillman. 1t seems
to him that Mr.. Oliver had received
verv bad treatment. He had spent
100000 or $4,000 of his own money
in complying with The requirements
of the government and lad made the
lowest bid.
Because OF objection the resolution
went over for future action under the
rules.
