IN REPLY.
Petitioning Candidates Re. ply to Chairman Milwee.

Replying to the article signed by the Chairman of the Demo- cratic Central Committee in your last issue in which he re- plies to a request from six candi- dates and refuses to call the Democratic Central Committee for the purpose of setting a date for the Democratic Primary.
 His reasons are, briefly, that first there are 15 or Is gentle men who say they will be candi- dates for the various offices, and that the petition contains the names of only six of that num- Der.
 Secondly, = that the date sug- gested is so unusually early which coupled with the fact that only six candidates have express ed themselves through the pc tition, and that he gathers from personal conversation with sev- eral of tie other candidates that any effort to advance the date for holding the primary will be resented by them, and all things being considered, he deems it for the best interest of the party to take no steps looking toward 9 change of what he considers i the usual time for holding the primaries.
 From a brief resume of his first reason, we beg to suggest that as Chairman he is not supposed Ito know how many candidates are in the field, and further, be the number what it may, ths natural assumption is that in the absence of a remonstrance he wov vn3scarcsly be expected t. arrogate to himself the authority to refuge so natural and modest a request as the one presented and it occurs to us that common courtesy, aside from his duty il the matter, would prompt him t. present the matter to the Com
 mittee for concerted action.
 The Chairman notes in hi
 second reason, that the date sug
 gested is so unusually early, ant that he has reasons to believ'
 that action along this line vii
 be met with strong opposition. We would like to correct wrong impression that he seem to have gathered, and adyis him that there are only IA avow ed candidates in the field at thi
 time, and that 9 or 10 of thi
 number favor an early primary
 and while only 6 have signed tn petition, the other 3 or 1 expres
 themselves as quite ready, an shat the date suggested is i'm material to them.

Card of Thanks.

Rev. and Mrs. Thos. H. Me spadden wish to thank their members and friends for the large and appreciative pounding which they received on last Fri Gay evening.
The Brinkley argus., 1909-10-08

WOulQ respectfully Cdii ii' "o tention to the fact, that time was when the primaries were held in August, July, June, May, April, March, and to our know ledge only the three last have been set in January, hence ii would appear that the date has suffered several removals, and still the grand old ship of Demo cracy seems to be weatherlne the storms.
 Viewed from the standpoint of a voter, the expressions elicit ed from that source have in 9 large majority been in favor o1 an early primary they viewing the matter from a standpoint of material comfort.
 January is a notoriously bao month, and when we consider the scant accomoaations afforded even to the judges and clerks in the outlying districts, while the voters who interest themselves to the point of coming to the polls, are oft-tilnes subjected to the severest weather.
 It certainly looks to us as though the early fall would be grateful change to this large class of interested parties.
 Then again, many of the can. didates are poor men, and a long campaign coupled with the con sequential loss of time, and ex. penditure of money thereby made necessary, will preclude this worthy class from ever hop. ing to aspire for office.
 We respectfully call the Chair mans attention to the fact, that Greene county held her primary Oct. End. In Jefferson county where the conditions are similar to those in this county, in that, the candidates could not agree. The Chairman through a spirit of fairness prompted him to refer the matter to the Centra Committee, which is all we ask. Since the Chairman has refus- ed to present our request to the Central Committee, we desire t6 make this appeal b the County Central Con mittee direct, We do this without malice or criti cism of any one, and we arprec' ate the fact, the Honorable Chairman has been actuated by what lle considered the best in terest of the party at large. But in absolute fairness to al we think our petition should gl before the Conn. ittee as 9 body
  and by their decree we are quite willing to submit.

ST. PAUL LETTER.
COR. GAZETTE:


St. Paul, November 22.-There are
likely to be things doing at the next
meeting of the State Agricultural
society. Those who are interested
in the management of its affairs are
already manoelvering for position,
and | am given to understand that
number of missionaries are already
at work with county fair associations,
street fair associations and the like
in an effort to secure the election of
delegates who will line up on one
side or the other of the contending
factions.
The trouble originates with the de-
termination of B. F. Nelson to retire
from the presidency of the board of
managers Mr.. Nelson is success
ful business man. His own business
he manages on business principles.
Successful as the fair has been, it
hasn't always been managed that
way. There has been favoritism, and
in connection with that a system has
grown up which CALLED Nelson past
endurance. He used to complain
bitterly of the way he was besieged
by petty grafters, those who wanted
concessions, passes, special favors
and what not. 1t wasn't his way of
doing business. The constant de-
mands annoyed and exasperated
him. Notwithstanding what may be
said that is why he wanted to get
away last year. That is why he is
determined to cut loose now.
The present conflict means that an
attempt is being made-not to GUST
Secretary Cosgrove. but to put a
curb on him. Mr.. Cosgrove has Sc
lected the man he wants to be presi-
dent. 1t is j., M. Underwood Of
Lake City, long associated with the
fair management and who has work
ed effectively in a quiet way to make
it success. The malcontents op-
pose Underwood, not because they
disapprove of him; rather because he
i is COSgroye'S candidate. They are
rallying around John Furlong.
Now, Furlong isn't at all such a
man as Underwood. He isn't like
Baird, letting the fight go by default
He is aggressive. He is active. He is
shrewd. Through and through he is
a politician neither troubled with
too many scruples, nor mealy-mouth-
ed so as you would notice it. If he
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1909-11-24

gets to be president he will be presi-
dent. He won't be squeamish about
little things like Nelson. He's
enough of an Irishman to rather en-
JOY fight than otherwise. Cosgrove
realizes this. Hence the strenuous
character of the present contest. 1t
is q fight for supremacy. Before it
is over someone is going to get hurt.
Another battle is raging here now.
The state treasureship is the prize,
for it is generally recognized that
Clarence Dinehart is out of it, and
has decided for better or for worse
to go after the seat in congress now
occupied by Mr.. Hammond. That he
will get the nomination is not ques-
toned here, nor is it doubted that
the contest will be one of the most
interesting in the campaign. But
just now that's neither here nor
there up at the capitol. What they
are interested in is who will fill Dine
harris shoes. The state capitol crowd
are rather inclined to favor Mr..
Madison of Roseau county, as repre-
senting that element of progressive
Republicanism with which they, as
inclined to be reactionary, would
strengthen themselves by entering
into compact. Peter Schwarg of
Dodge county wants the job. George
E. Hanscome of Foley, of whom
very nice things are said, has come
into the field. The latest man to
enter is AL. Kaiser Of Bagely. Kaiser
is that peculiar combination, bank
er and newspaper man. He is a
German. His father lives at Vino
ma. When most of the north went
Populist years ago Kaiser stood by
the G. 0. P. Consequently he is
strong with the organization. The
fight as it stands is pretty one and
liable to spread over into other state

AS to whether such a combination
is illegal, the judges make that
equally plain:
''The proof is conclusive that the
defendants have secured and now
enjoy very substantial part of the
interstate and international COM
merce in petroleum and its products
:. the combination and conspiracy
in restraint of trade and its contin-
ued execution, which has been found
to exist, constitute illegal means by
which the conspiring defendants,
combined and still combined and con-
spire to monopolize a part of inter-
state and international commerce
and by which they have secured an
unlawful monopoly of substantial
part of it, and this conspiracy con-
stitutes as clear and complete a yio-
lation of the second as Of the first
section of the act"
Therefore, the court by a unani-
nous decision DEGREES, and here is
the meat of the matter, that the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
be enjoined from voting the stock in
any of its auxiliary companies, and
from exercising or attempting to eX-
ercise any control, direction, super
vision or influence over the acts of
these companies that the other de-
PENDANT companies which are parties
to the combination be enjoined from
declaring or paying dividends to the
Stan lard Oil company; from per-
hitting that company to vote such
stock or direct the policy of any
Of said companies or to exercise any
control whatsoever over their cor
porate acts; that the seven individu-
al defendants and the corporations
and partnerships that became parties
to this combination be enjoined from
