Der tresIassers, and have recovered
many judgments against them, re-
Gently Che in the supreme court
against Tom Shevlins company for
over $4,000. James J.. Hill. is report
ed to have said recently in a speech
in Minneapolis, that 1 had injured
the state by interfering with his
efforts to initiate his stocks. The OPP
position, therefore, Of these interests,
and of the group of politicians and
newspapers that are habitually con-
trolled by them, was to be expected.
L. is known that they have all united
in this campaign, and that Bob Dunn,
the favorite of Tom Shevlin and the
timber interests has been appoint
ed their general agents to take
charge of the campaign against me.
He has openly declared that he was
going to skin me.
but Mr.. Editor. beg to advise
you that Bob Dunn, Oar Reese and
Tom Shevlin do not constitute the
republican party, and it is not nee
essary to secure their favor before
becoming a candidate for governor.
The republican party is on the square.
L. stands for the regulation Of the
liquor traffic. the regulation of rail-
roads and the preservation of the
timber and other property of the
state. The republican party approves
Of the crusade against lawlessness
which l have conducted, and l do
not believe it Is, in this campaign,
going to skin me in order to please
the interests that are opposed to
law enforcement
"Thc 'bandwagon' in the republic
can party is controlled by the pco-
pie and not by the interests Bob
Dunn and his assortment of interests
are not going to be allowed to take
possession of the party machinery
or dictate it's policies of candidates;
nor is Oar Reese going to be able
to put the liquor interests in the
republican saddle.
81 am a candidate for the repubii-
can nomination, and am going to
present my candidacy to the conven-
ton when it meets. I am positive
ly not going to withdraw because
the interests have agreed to prevent
my nomination. The governorshiI
is not going to be put up at auction
and sold to the highest corporate
bidder. The republicans are not go
ing to tolerate corporate of liquor
interference in their convention, but
are going to make the nominations
solely with a view to promoting the
cause of good governemnt.
Yours Truly, E. T. Young"
Ed Young's letter stirred up the ami
mails in the vicinity of the county
seat of Mile Laos county, as witness
the following editorial utterance in
last weeks issue of Bob Dunn's
Princeton Union:
Attorney General Young is SEEM
ingly in an angry mood. 1t appears
that he or one of his underlings in
stigated an article which appeared In
the Duluth Herald some days since in
which it was asserted that he contem-
plated withdrawing from the race for
the. republican nomination for COVER
nor, thus affording him an opportun-
ity to rush into print, deny the al
legation, defy the alligators and at the
same time pathetically inform the pub
lie that his old time friends, the "in-
terests," had thrown him down and
stepped on him. This remarkable
ebullition of temper on the part Of the
immaculate Edward leads us to befiev'
that If he were to souse his enlarged
head in a finger-bowl containing Ice
cold water it might be good for what
ails him."
In another paragraph Mr.. Dunn as
serts that the charge that the Inter
ests" are backing Jacobson is lab
surdly false. He states with en-
phasis that: IF Doodle controls the
republican state convention Mr.. ia
cobson will be defeated, otherwise he
will prove an easy winner"
