JACOBSON REPLIES
Madison Man Answers Charges Of
Attorney General Young

Madison, Mimi, April l0.-J. F.
jacobson made a speech before the
republican county convention yester-
day that is interpreted as dignifed
reply to the statement issued Wednes-
day by Attorney General Young in re-
Spouse to an article in the Duluth Her
aid saying that Young intended to re-
tire as a candidate for governor.
Mr.. Jacobson did not mention Mr.
Young. He said he had again become
a candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for governor, and that he would
conduct his campaign on the same plan
that he had the last one.
If he could not get the nomination
without entering into any pledges or
combination he did not want it, as he
would not make one single pledge or
promise He said he had such oppor-
tnnities two years ago, but did not
avail himself of them.
He said his record would show what
he had stood for and would be a better
indication of what he is likely to do

ager," said local republican leader.
."The things that are being done are
done by his friends that have come to
him voluntarily None have asked for or
received a pledge or promise of any
kind"
+. T. Young's letter of last Wednesday
called forth Characteristic reply from
Bob d mn, and i'm the Princeton Union
of Thursday he says:
"Attorney General Young is seeming
ly in an angry mood. 1t appears that
he or one of his upderlings instigated
an article which appeared in the Du-
luth Herald some days since in which
it was asserted that he contemplated
withdrawing from the race for the re-
publican nomination for governor, thus
afrording him an opportunity to rush
into print, deny the allegation, defy
the alligators and at the same time
pathetically inform the public that his
old time friends, the Interests" had
thrown him down and stepped on him.
This remarkable ebullititon of temper
on the part of the immaculate Edward
leads us to believe 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."

BRAVE FIGHT is ENDED
JOSEPH LANDkAMME PASSED
AWAY SUNDAY MORNING.
He Was for Years Prominent in Bust :
ness Circles in Mankato, III for
Long Period.

Joseph Landkamer, after a brave
fight for life, passed away at ten
minutes before ten o'clock yesterday
forenoon, at his home: 5l2 North
Broad street He had not been well
for two years past, but it was only
during the past two weeks that ne
was confined to his bed. He went
to West Baden, Ind, during the win
ter. but from the first of the year
was confined at home. Last Monday
morning he went to sleep and did not
awaken until Saturday morning, when
he recognized the members of the
family. From that time on he gradu-
ally failed. His death was due to
cancer. which was the diagnosis given
of his case by the Drs. Mayo when he
visited Rochester last fall.
Mr.. Landkamer was born in Ger
many, and would have been forty one
wears of age had he lived until Friday
of this week. He came to America
with his parents in 1872, and located
in Mankato. and continued to reside
here ever since. When twelve years
of ace his business career began, he
then taking position in John Klein's
furniture store. For nearly thirty
wears he has given his time to the
furniture business. OF this time.
eighteen and half years was, spent
with John Klein.
Ten years ago, Mr.. Landkamer form
ed partnership with Otto Lamm,
and under the firm name of Lamm q
Landkamer nourishing business was
carried on opposite the Saulpaugh.
Then John Hohmann was taken into
the firm, and Lamm, Landkamer q
Hohmann put up the fine four story
building now owned by j. r. Brand
rnp. Business was carried on there
for a year or two, and then Mr.. Land
kamer withdrew and went into bust
mes for himself a year and hall
ago on Walnut street. Later he took
his brother. Frank, and Thomas Day-
idson into partnership with him, and
the fine building at the corner OF
Walnut and Second streets was erect
ed. and has since been occupied. This
firm is known as Landkamer Brothers
Ia Davidson. and has done nice
business. The business will go on the
same as before, under the same firm
name.
The deceased was possessed of those
oualities that make successful busl-
ness men. He was filed with push
and energy, and had just reached the
noint where success seemed assured
and he could take matters easier than
heretofore. He was in the prime OF
his strength. and few of the younger
business men of the city looked for
ward to brighter or more promising
future. His death causes great regret
among all who knew him. and his
wife and seven children, whose ages
range from two to sixteen years. will
have the sympathy of all. Mr.. Land
kamer was the soul of integrity, a
born salesman, and pleasant gentle
man, quiet and unobstrusive in his de-
meanor, but winning an even stronger
place in the esteem of his fellow men
because of that fact.
