WOULD GUST The MAYOR
PREPARING IMPEACHMENT FOR
LAWLER OF ST PAUL.
The Law Enforcement League Has
An Idea That His Honor Allows
Lid to Be Lifted.

st. Paul, Nov. ii Impeachment
proceedings against Mayor Lawler are
in preparation.
Late yesterday afternoon members
of the st. Paul Law Enforcement,
league were to confer with Attorney
General Young regarding the step de-
cided upon.
/ The idea is to have Mr.. Young take
charge of the prosecution, the same as
in the celebrated st. CLOUD case, where
the mayor was deposed for failure
to enforce the liquor laws.
Cases Are Not Parallel.
However, while the proceedings, if
taken, will be the same, the two cases
are not parallel, as in the st. Cloud
case there was an announced deter
mination not to enforce the law, while
in st. Paul complaints have been re-
cognized to the extent that vigorous
closing orders were issued by Mayor
Lawler.
Mr.. Young would not discuss the
case in advance of the visit of the
compliments.
Mayor Lawler, when asked what he
thought of the movement made against
him by the Law Enforcement league,
merely had one statement to make.
and that was that he was not in the
least worried about it.

st. Paul, Nov. 1.-THE contest for
the speakership of the next legisla-
ture is getting warmer daily. The fin
ish promises to be a merry one.
Today it was announced that A. K.
Ware, of Mortified, would ask for
recognition. He is supposed to have
the backing of Joel Heatwole, late
candidate for the republican guberna-
torial nomination.
George Rodenberg, of st. Paul, is
now looked upon as full-fedged
candidate. He says support has been
rendered him, and he left today for
the country districts to look up his
chances.
Another newcomer is Bob" Wells,
of Breckenridge. He was a republi-
can leader in the last house. The
other candidates talked of are A. J..
Rockne, of Zumbrota, and w. A.
Nolan, of Grand Meadow
A. j. Rockne, of Zumbrota is re-
garded as Mr.. Johnson's most formid-
able competitor.

NOW is THE TIME TO
ENTER XMAS CONTEST
This Affair Is Not For the City AIone But Is Open
TO ANY Lady in the Surrounding Country;
Send in Your Name Right Away;
Get Out and Work.

If Jim Riley-he's too good a fellow
to object to familiarity--if Jim has
not forgotten the days when he pumped
a few poyous thrills through the
hearts of be-whiskered, but inter
ested, bunch of admirers who absorbed
intelligence from his fenceboard signs,
he'll be willing to permit the contest
man to trife with some of his most
standard verse. The contest man
wants to steal the rhyme and swing
of his graceful style and protitute
the whole idea to the base use of adj
vertising. That's why he is going to
ask his readers to sort of whip the
following bunch of near-poetical goo
lash into themselves ON the chance of
digesting the one single solitary idea,
that here is an excellent opportunity
for a live lady. When it last occurred
to the contest man it made a noise
something like this:
When the frost is on the pumpkin,
And the folders in the shock,
When your money sort of tagging,
And your clothes in hook;
Think the contest matter over,
Put prize under lock:
Right away you should get busy
Putting bonus votes in stock.
OF course, Riley wouldn't be guilty
of anything as crude as the above,
but the contest man is rather crude,
uniformed sort of an individual and
he's trying to express an idea in his

Commissioner of Labor Williams
Will Have Quit His Job.
M'EWEN TO TAKE HIS PLACE
Lynch to Be Made Insurance Com
missioner; Other Change to Be
Made by Kitchen Cabinet.

st. Paul, Nov. lit is reported
that Labor Commissioner Williams
was due to walk the plank the first
of the year. He is a democrat.
If carried out as planned, w. E. Nc
EVAN, the present state oil inspector,
will be named to succeed him and the
vacancy in the oil department caused
by the change will be filled by E. J.
Lynch.
Mr.. Lynch is at present acting as
assistant state labor commissioner. He
is a brother of F. E. Lynch, national
democratic committeeman from Min
nesota.
Mr.. Lynch will in all probability be
succeeded in the labor department by
Harrison Bennett, of Duluth.
Will Organize Labor Forces.
Mr.. McEwan's duties from now on
will be to organize labor in the state
in the interest of the democratic
forces. He is secretary. of the state
federation and is considered one of
the best organizers and labor leaders
in the state.
1t is probable that there will be
shakeup in the state oil department
to the extent of reorganizing the corps
of deputy inspectors.
Another worker slated for a posi-
ton under Governor johnson is Frank
Battley, of st. Paul. Frank was con-
nected with the state democratic head
quarters during the late contest. r.
L. OConnor is understood to have
interested himself in MI Battley.

1t cost Governor Johnson $l,044.50
to land his present berth for another
his campaign expense list as filed
with the state today.
Transportation cost the St. Peter
man $263.50; hotels, $l36, and auto
livery, $95. To the state central COM
mittee he gave $500.
This amount looks rather small
sum, but his advisers intimate that
they were lucky to get that because
of his reluctance to get into the game
at all. AS an offset Governor John
son will draw $4,000 within the next
two wears not to speak of some small
perquisites.

WOULD BREAK CHARTER
CIVIC LEAGUE is AFTER MINNIE
APOL,S BREWER.
Claim Is Made That the Company Is
Engaged in Business Not Cow
cred In Its Franchise.

Minneapolis, Nov. ll.-Action to for
felt The charters of some of the brew
ing companies of Minneapolis is sought
by the Minneapolis Civic Federation.
Attorney General Young was appoint
ed today to lend the use OF mis- name
to quo warranto proceedings against
the companies to compel them to show
cause why their charters shall not be
revoked.
The ground for this proposed action
is that the brewing companies are
only engaged in the retail liquor bust
ness through the ownership of licenses.
1t is wellknown fact that the great
majority of the saloons of Minneapo-
lis are owned by the breweries, and
the men in whose names the licenses
stand are merely employees. Under
this condition the claim is made that
the brewing companies are exceeding
their charter powers and should lose
their charters entirely.
Frank w. Booth and c.. w. Purple,
Minneapolis attorneys, called on the
attorney general today and laid the
proposition before him. He took it
under advisement. No quo warranto
action can be taken except under the
name of the attorney general, though
it is not necessary for him to appear
in the case.
Representatives of the st. Paul Law
Enforcement league waited upon the
attorney general late today to consult
as to the proposed impeachment of
Mayor Lawler for failure to enforce
the Sunday closing law.
