The Interests" and the papers that
support the ''interests" hate Bob
Dunn. They tried to down Bob in
1904 and had to turn traitor to the re-
publican party to do it. The spiteful
things they are saying about Bob
now are only the echo of a guilty dis
appointment. We were about to say
conscience, but such fellows lack that
cultivated sentiment. Conscientious
ness is twin of honesty. Dunn's
followers in 1904 we're men of honest
integrity. They went down to defeat
conscious of being in the right, while
his opposers have been keeping up
their brainless clatter because they
shook the tree and the Denis got the
plums. Now they are mad because
the manly, honest Bob sunk his own
ambition in behalf of reunited
party and publicly declared for Jacob
son. Every true friend of Bob Dunn
will support Jacobson to the last ditch
and do it without fear or fee. It won It

campaign for the people who are sup

The nomination of Jacobson is the
sure road to republican success.
YOung's candidacy is not the subject
OF serious thought; Joel is only spar
ring for an opening to deal Clapp
body blow and Brewer is too much of
an honest, cool-headed, dignifed re-
publican patriot to undertake to mix
in political wrangle when he has
reputation already sufficient to land
him in the highest Office in the state

DISAPPOINTING HIS b. ENEa1IEs.

Mr., JacObsOn's campaign is not
lively enough to suit some people who
are not and never have been his
friend $. The individuals referred to
would be pleased to have jacobson
and his friends "break loose'' and
make Rome howl, then they would
say, "It will never do to nominate
that man jacobson. His nomination
would split the party wide open. Let
us have some new man, one who can
command the support of the entire
party, etc., etc" If any i'll feeling
has been engendered in the present
pre-convention campaign Mr.. Jacob
son and his friends are blameless.
He and they have studiously refrained
from mud-slinging although at times
the provocation has been great. Mr..
Jacobson's supporters have accorded
the other aspirants for gubernatorial
honors the most courteous treatment,
and certainly no fair-minded person
has any just cause of complaint
against Mr.. Jacobson personally.
The quiet, dignifed and manly course
he is pursuing is exasperatingly dis
appointing to his enemies and exceed
ingly gratifying to his admirers.

to consider any other name for the
presidency. This is an honor which

The register and the receiver of the

to decision over perplexing point.
The general land Office issued an
order the latter part of last month,
withdrawing certain lands in the nor

making exceptions of lands held by
settlers or occupants under the home
stead laws, or claimants under the
timber and stone act, who had claims
to the land prior to the date of the
order. The question the land Office
now has to decide is whether or not
the order affects those who had fled
on the land but who had not made
final proof and who had not paid any
money prior to the issuance of the
order. The local officers will probably
pass the matter on to the authori-

JAMAICANS WELCOME
AMERICAN TURFMEN

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 24.-Ca-
Diagrams were received here today
firm New York setting forth that cer-
tain American newspapers published
dispatch purporting to come from
Jamaica and saying in effect that the
people of Jamaica objected to the an
nounced i1vasion'of American racing
men. American turf men have been
negotiating for the control of racing
in jamaica and it is thought that they
will buy an interest in the local jock
ey club. The reports of this opposition
are incorrect and unfounded, and the
opinion of the public generally Is
strongly in favor of a combination be-
tween the American race promoters
and the local Jockey club. The prop
osition made by the club has been
practically accepted by the Americans
and the only thing now necessary is
the formation of a company The OPP
position to this racing proposition
finds expression only in an obscure
and unimportant section of the COM
munity.
