 by impugning the motives of every member on it. This may be relief from the pressure of enthusiasm, but it is neither sense nor judgment. There is no objection to burning incense, but if you burn so much that no one at a distance can see the object before which 1t is burned, it does not tend to make converts.
 There are republicans in the Unit ed States who have views on the tariff. on the Philippines, foreign relations, injunctions, federal regulation, inter state commerce, and who are going to be much more interested in the prin- ciples to be enuneiated at Chicago than the nominees to be named. Who the nominee will be is of great but not final importance. When the re- publican party is ready to turn over all it's functions of principle and con duet to any individual, it is time for the party to disband.
 Single seated sulkies and band wagons have important but different uses. A band wagon is desirable, but has no inherent power of locomotion, The decoration of a band wagon is no gauge of it's seating capacity. In the matter of Governor Hughes candidacy for the presidency, it is not a question of who can holler loudest, but who talks most sensibly.
 T should rejoice at any honor that might come to the governor. I object to his being put in an inconsistent light, and l object to the policy of seeking assistance from organizations whose motives his representatives first impugns.
 There are S0,0O0,000 of people in the United States, and 16,000,O0O vot- CTS. Speaking generally. S,00O,000 vot- CTS will elect the next president of the United States, So far the presi- dential campaign of Governor Hughes is predicted by his representative upon the demand that S,000,000 voters shall surrender their mental independence and their political principles to one man whose views they do not even know.
 This is an assumption for the gov ernor of mental condition on his part that believe Is entirely foreign to him.
 II hold no brief for anybody in this matter, and am not in fear of physical violence from any federal officeholder; nor are my opinions controlled, nor has an endeavor been made to control them by the chair man of the republican state commit tee or the president of the republican county committee,

HUGHES MEN
Hedges Declares They =gn Motives of Lead I ing Republicans.
IS ABOUT BAND WAGONS
Us That Eight Millions of Voters Are Entitled to Know
 Man.

sw York, Dec 24-Job E. Hedges,
 led the opposition to the resolu-
 endorsing Governor Hughes for
 presidency at the meeting of the
 Sblican club last night. in an inter-
 to-day attacked the campaign
 Yls of the governors chief repre-
 i've as unfair both to the gover-
 nd the republican party, and not
 lated to win any votes outside
 tate.
 Hughes campaign so far, he de-
 I, was based solely on a demand
 the millions of voters who will
 1t the next president should sur
 hder their mental independence and 5litical principles to man of un- snown views on national questions. Such campaign, in MT. Hedges opin- ion, will win no votes for Hughes in other states.
 MT. Hedges is prominent in the local republica organization, but is noted for independence of thought and action. He is an admirer of the governor and ' his criticisms come with special force in view of the fact. He prefaced what he said to-day with some remarks ap- preciative of Governor Hughes as a state executive,
 1T recall no governor of this state," he said, ''who has brought to the duties of that office higher conservation of motive and closer application to it's duties than has Governor Hughes. He 4 IS entitled to the respect of every think ing citizen, and his talents and record \ justify serious consideration being giv- en him as a presidential possibility. { Governor Hughes was nominated I for governor under unusual circum- stances and to meet peculiar conditions, ! and probably any other nominee at 3that time would have been defeated. EIThe questions involved year ago were I practically only those of purely ex- f iecutive nature He has not only met these, but has made suggestions for Legislation which have attracted atten- Idtion to him throughout the country ''The gentleman so far indisputably .l in charge of the governors presidential Npossibilities predicates his efforts upon the proposition that the governor will announce his opinion on national is sues in his letter accepting the nomi- nation. This puts the governor in a light unfair to him and unfair to the 4 party The governor has strong hold x personally on the voters of New York < state To be nominated for president he must have votes other than from New York state. To ask for those votes and refuse the opinions of the governor on questions with which the republican party is identified is in my Judgment the best means of prevent ing the governor from obtaining votes outside his own state.

Y or oendlOf 10 succeed C. M. De I pey---Tinethy L Woodruff
 For Governor of New York--James W. Wadsworth, Jr.
 Politicians who profess to know the inside plans of the present National administration asserted to-day that tho ticket given above represented the real intentions of the President and the Woodruff element in the New York State organization.
 The idea that President Roosevelt would take for himself one of the sem atorships from his own State is not a new one, but coming as the informa- | ton does at a time when the future of the President is being much thought about and discussed, 1t is re- garded as of especial significance.
 If the report of President Roose- velt's intention Is accurate 1t is gener- ally interpreted to mean that he will be very much part of the next ad- Iministration, provided the plan goes through and Secretary Taft is nolnin- ated and elected President.
 President Roosevelt has strong ideas about the United States Senate !" said the Eagles informant, and be- lieves there is much work that can be done there in the way of correction that cannot be done elsewhere. If, as would be natural, he should be the right-hand man of President to-be Taft, and work in harmony with the President to maintain the power of the Federal organization and put pres sure on where it was needed, it would be a tremendously powerful combina- ton.
 President Roosevelt has long be- lieved that the United States Senate needed the Biblical baptism Of fire, and if the plan comes true he will be in a position to give il"

 Next to the Roosevelt plan for him self the idea of offering the vice. pres idency to Governor Hughes is regard ed as the most striking feature of the slate. The governors friends, assert most emphatically that such an event as Governor Hughes accepting a nom-

purpose of discussing the advisable
ity of bonding the town for $4,000
with which to construct roads in

short speeches on practical road
building and their relation - the
community. Those present also
expressed themselves in favor of
constructing only substantial roads,
and not attempt to scatter the
work along long route.
The sentiment of the meeting was
unanimous in favor of bonding,

w. c. T. U.
Nashville, Tenn, Nov 13.-The fifth
day Of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union was replete with inter-
est. The report of the resolutions
committee was accepted after some
discussion.
The convention declared for the
same standard of purity for both men
and women. It declared also for
woman suffrage.
Mrs. George of Pennsylvania offered
resolution the object of which is to
stop football. An interesting argu-
ment followed and many champions
of the game spoke. It was voted
down. The following was adopted:
1--WE rejoice that the secretary Of
commerce and labor has inaugurated
an inquiry into the disgraceful traffic
in women and young girls at present
carried on in our country whereby in
nocent young women are brought
from and carried to foreign lands un-
der the pretense of securing honor
able employment, but in reality are
taken to dens of infamy. We appeal
to the nations Of the earth to bring
this ubiquitous traffic to a speedy ter
mination."
Mrs. Carrie Nation asked to be al
lowed to address the convention, but
her request was refused. She later
spoke to large audience just across
the street.

that the proposition will fail to

Should the bonds carry. the
money will be used in extending

the present terminus on the town
line to Red Lake, along the route
surveyed last year. Some money
will also be expended on the road

WAYS AND MEANS DISCUSSED
Declaration Of the Manufacturers AZ.
ISOLATION to Spend $1,5oo,ooo In
Fight on Organized Labor Brought
to Attention Of Convention.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 13.-The Ameri.
can Federation Of Labor, in twenty
seventh annual convention here. took
aggressive steps toward the establish
ment Of universal eight-hour work
ing day in America and began action
looking to ways and means for the
raising Of sufficient fund to fight the
present war that its executive coun-

against organized labor, with partic-
ular aim by the Manufacturers asso.

American Federation Of Labor for the
amelioration Of the conditions of the
working classes and wealth pro-
ducers" Of the country.
The federation authorized President
Gompers to appoint special commit
tees for the consideration of both of
these questions, the committees to re-
port during the present sessions.
President Gompers also was author

FEDERATION PROPOSED,
Organized Railroad Employees May
Work Together.

. New York, Nov. 13.-Plans are be-
ing discussed for a federation of rail
road employees, according to the
Times, so that strikes of the mem
bers Of one brotherhood will involve
a strike of the other. The organiza-
tions are the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen, the Brotherhood
Of Railway Trainmen, the Order Of
Railway Conductors and the Order Of
Railroad Photographers
A federation Of this kind was sug.
gested when the late P. M. Arthur
was head of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, but the plan fell
through because the engineers did not
take kindly to it, being conservative
in the matter of sympathetic strikes.
The brotherhoods are federated on
some of the individual railroad sys-
TENS, but this has acted so far as a
preventive Of strikes.

SENTENCED TO SERVE
THREE YEARS IN "PEN'
Ole Torgrimson Plead Guilty to Having
Committed Assault in the Second
Degree.

Ole Torgrimson, pugnacious
farmer who lived about eight miles
east of Bemidji,in the town of Frohn,
plead guilty yesterday before Judge
Spooner to charge of assault in the
second degree and was sentenced to
serve a term of three years in the
state penitentiary at Saltwater, as
punishment for his numerous acts of
violence among his neighbors.
Last August, Torgrimson visited
Bemidji, and after imbibing consid-
erable of the red stuff" that always
inspired him with a desire to clean
up the neighborhood in which he
lived, returned to his home and got
into an alteration with some of
his fellow farmers, with the result
that two or three of them were
given sound beatings.
TorgrimSOn was subsequently
arrested on the charge of assault in
the second degree and was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury, at the fall term of court.
Torgrimson was indicted by the
grand jury and the case continued.
A few days ago Torgrimson decided
to plead guilty to the charge of
assault in the second degree, and
Judge Spooner imposed a penalty of
three years in the "pen."
Torgrimson's reputation as fight
ing man, and his disposition to mix
things" whenever occasion offered,
would indicate that he deserved all
he got at the hands of the judge.
Sheriff Thomas Bailey, accom-
panied by George Tanner, took
Torgrimson to Saltwater this morn
iag to begin serving his term of
three years in the state penitentiary.
