JACOBSON ON THE OMNIBUS BILL
Says He Is Not Surprised at What
Legislature Has Done.

st. Paul, April 2l.-J. F. Jacobson,
late republican candidate for governor,
happened to be guest of the house,
late yesterday, when the omnibus bill,
just reported out by the finance com
mittees OF the two bodies, was being
laid on the desks of the members.
New salaries and salary raises made
up a large part of the items on
number of pages of the printed bill
and the comment in consequence was
general. In his campaign for COVER
nor, salary raising had received Mr.
Jacobson's strongest disapproval, and
this fact was not lost upon T. j.
Brady of ST Paul, the minority leader,
who Immediately FASTENED to the Lac
l9ui Parle man with a copy.
"Just look at that" said Brady.

pause:

yesterday.
All along the route the farmers
were greatly surprised that the party
because at this time of the year the
farmers are used tie being stalled in
the heavy roads with light buggies.
Reports all along the route, how
ever, indicate that in another month
the roads will be improved 100 per
cent, and that by the time the tour
comes through in July three will be
no trouble at all in making the time
schedules.

heavy going yesterday, but worked
strong and steady all day and pulled
through many bad places which We're
seemingly impossible. The total mile
age for the nine days of the pathfnd-

nothing but sinkholes for a mile and
a half, but, nevertheless. the party
will push on toward La Crosse this
morning.

Minneapolis, April 2l.-Manufaeturers

satisfaction as the kind now used.
The new cigarets are wrapped with
very thin leaf tobacco, and filled with
the Turkish tobacco that is so alluring
to the smoker.
The new cigarets will be i'm reality
