MORE OBSERVATIONS
By Julius On-the-Spot Concerning Mat.
ters at the State Capital.


By the time this is printed it will
be announced that Otto L. Dorm
berg Of Redwood Falls, better known
as Doc, has been appointed to a
clerkship on the committee on pub
lie accounts and expenditures. This.
is probably the hardest worked COM
mittee in the House. The clerk
must investigate all Of the depart
mental accounts, and when Mr..
Dornberg was recommended to the
speaker for this place by Mr.. Ben
dixen and other friends it was the
assertion that Mr.. Dornberg would
make an expert accountant of whom
Speaker johnson and his regime
would be proud. This is the sche-
dule at this writing, and it will be
so. announced unless changed. We
will be glad to see doc" down
here this winter, and happier still
when he finishes his work and the
committee will have branded him
with "well done, etc"
Another Redwood county horse"
who is taken care of is Col. Fred.
G. Tuttle who was landed by Sen
ator Clague, and the old man the
great old Nestor of country journal
ism commenced drawing stipend
in the senate on Tuesday last. Where
is there a Republican, and particu-
larly a Republican newspaper man,
who is not happy to see the old
war-horse recognized. Yep, we will
be glad to see him do his work as
he will do it right, and then drop
down and spin a long yarn in the
secretary of states office. Senator
Clague, who is moving cautiously in
the senate, and destined to make a
win of it, has our thanks for taking
care of dad"
In connection with appointments
in Redwood county it is whispered |
that one or two more changes are
booked, and that the administra-
ton is determined to build up a
Democratic machine of men who
will command votes. At that, it
must be admitted that the present !
Democratic machine in Redwood |
county commands a few, and re-
gardless of the source, they count as
much as the other fellow. Col. Day
proposes a fight all along the line
in 1908 and proposes to make the
Republican county officers take a |
run for their money.
AS to the, boiler inspectorship /
Col. J. A. McDermott, oil Inspector,
and disburser of petty patronage Ct
the administration, according to his
claims has promised the new Red
wood county Democratic regime that
Ole Bjore, the present incumbent,
shall be hooked" out of the game,
and that Peter Pint, marshal at San
born, is to be named for the place. /
Col. John A. Olson, the Walnut I
Grove merchant, endorsed by Col.
L. Garlock of that town, was down
last Wednesday, communing with /
the governor on the subject, but it /
is claimed that he drew a blank. I
In the executive department, where
reliable information is to be OBJ
tanned, Col. Day says that there is
nothing doing as yet.
Bro Starr will pardon US for criti-
cising.hisacriticism of Speaker John
son. Give him a chance, Bro. Starr.
If you had inspected his past legis-
lative record you would have said
that he was always on the right
side" of a question, and many a
time first of the .tribunes for the
people When the list of commit
tees is announced Tuesday the peo-
pie who know the house member ]
ship, are very likely to say: well
we guess that Mr.. Johnson is alright,
and that we can't have ''too much
Johnson" of..that kind. = Some of the
chairmanships are known to me, and
they are men who are entitled to
the finest kind of O. KS. The
legislature is going to do business
this winter.
