Oregon on my election to the presi-
dency, reported favorably upon it and
within week passed has reiterated

lieve that the worst blow the stock
holders of this company have re.

malicious attacks through the columns

81 never promoted the National Pub

participant in its promotion; never
sold any of its stock. or solicited any
body to buy any of its stock. My con-

what he paid for it in cash.

nothing to do, but believe, and had
the right to believe, from the charac-

from my investigation, that all had

Statement of Fact.

Ordinarily would pay no attention
tered by an untruthful newspaper, but
it may be that some fair.mnded men
have been misled by the way facts
have been distorted, and for this rea,
son, and for this reason alone, | de-
sire to make a short statement which
covers my position.
I'm December of last year ! was Wis
tied in Washington by William J.,
Chrisman, Esq. an attorney of Phila,
delphia, and F. l.. Smart, who re-
quested me to become president of the
National Public Utilities Corporation.

sometime, but not knowing Mr.. Chris.

was lawyer of excellent reputation
and with good business connections.

General Russell Thayer, Colonel VIII.

Frederick S. Schon, William b. Mar.
gerum and Simeon Merrill, were d.
rectors.
81 was also informed that the com
Dany had been incorporated according
to law was properly organized and
could legitimately carry on the bust
ness for which it was intended, which
was the building Of a railroad from
Astoria to a point beyond Seaside in
the state Of Oregon. | also made in

served in that office, and as director
during the first quarter of this year

PUT ON CIVIL SERVICE LIST
President Favors Taking Second and
Third Class Postmasters Out
OF Politics.

Washington, Nov. lit was learned
definitely that the president will rec
ommend in his coming message to con.
gress that second and third class post.
masters be covered in the civil service
list.
Mr. Taft irtimated some time ago
that he would take such action. He is
in favor Of taking all collectors of Gus.
toms and internal revenue out of poll
tics and putting them under the pro-
lection of the civil service.
1t is likely, however, that the sec
ond and third class postmasters will
be the only federal ofliceholders who
will figure in this way in the next mes
sage.

TENER MANFULLY
MEETS ACCUSERS
Republican Nominee Fully An
SWeTS Bitter Political Attack.
GIVES DETAILED STATEMENT

Ready to Redeem All Stock at Price
Paid From Any Purchaser Who In
vested Because of His Connection.
John X. Tener, Republican nominee
for governor, in a frank and manly
statement, has met the attacks of his
political opponents and given a com.
plete answer to every insinuation that
has been made in the journalistic as
sault upon his character.
He has demonstrated that his con.
nections with the companies in ques-
ton have been straightforward and
honorable in every way. He has told Of
his exact relations with the Utilities
enterprise. which he believed when he
became identified with it it was a
feasible project, and he holds that
is still fact, and he has proclaimed
that he is ready to pay in full any
amounts that may have been paid into
the company for stock, purchased be-
cause of his connection with the cor
poration.
The attempt to discredit Mr.. Tener
because of his relations with an in
surance company that has also been
made an issue in the state campaign
was upon the face of it so palpably a
political trick that no one took it seri-
ously.
Mr.. Tener points out that this COM
pany has been a success from the
start, and that he is still interested in
it financially.
Mr.. Tener brands the attacks upon
him as unwarranted and malicious,
and in view of the rumors that have
been put in circulation by a coterie Of
politicians, to the effect that he is to
be arrested, Mr.. Tener boldly defiies
them to carry out their plot.
w. L. Chrisman, who is now presi.
dent of the National Public L Titles
company, when shown Mr.. Tener's
statement, said: 1T fully covers the
situation"
Mr.. Tener's statement reads as fol.

Lskota N. D., Feb. 5.-The sensation
that has been expected in connection
with. the closing OF the Peoples State
bank of this city a couple Of weeks
ago by State Bank Examiner oliver
Knudson, was forthcoming yesterday
when f. A, Raiders, the president of
the bank, was arrested on a charge of
forgery. He waived preliminary hear
ing and was bound over to the next
term of the district court under $500
bail, which was furnished. S. A. Flor
en-, the cashier of the bank, will be
arrested today on a similar charge
and undoubtedly the same co,--se of
procedure will be gone through with
as in the case against Raiders.
The amount of the defacit Is $500
and both men have turned Their prop
erty over to the receivers of the bank
to make restitution.
The offense is thpt of subscribing to
a false statement which was issued
Nov. is, and under the North Dakota
statute this becomes a forgery. Owing
to the prominence of The men arrested.

ANDY COOKS own MEAL
North Dakota Bank Wrecker Spends
Interesting Day in Ramsey
County Jail.

st. Paul Dispatch: In the Ramsey
county Jail, surrounded by all sorts of
prisoners, Andy Fl. Jones, former cash
Ter OF the First National bank of Rug
by, N. D., spent twelve hours yester-
day-a half day filed with more sor-
row and Joy than experienced since he
was sentenced two weeks ago 10 spend
ten years. of his life in the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, for
embezzlement.
Interested in a game of cards with
fellow prisoners, Jones was plunged
into sadness at the noon hour by the
appearance ar the Jail of Mrs. Jones.
They remained together for some time.
Later Jones asked the jailer to buy
for him enough food to feed the ten
prisoners who during the day were his
companions. Taking an empty salt
bag, he filed 1t with eggs and held
the bag in a basin of boiling water
drawn from a cell faucet
This is the next thing to camping
OUT" he said and then laughed. He
enjoyed the inpromptu meal purchas-
ed at his own expense, and played
cards the remainder of the day.
When United States Marshal James
F. Shea came to the Jail last night to
take his prisoner to the union depot,
Jones was loath to go. He fingered in
his cell, but when told that the train
would leave in less than fifteen min
utes, he walked out into the corridor
and took the hand of each of the ten
prisoners whom he had learned to
know.

WRITER WANTS AL
LOOMS FOR MAYOR
LOCAL BUSINESS MAN WRITES
THE FORUM SUGGESTING A
IMAM OF THE HOUR" FOR MAY.
OR = CANDIDATE MIGHT NOT
ACCEPT.

AL Loomis for mayor. That's the
suggestion made by Fargo business
man in letter to The Forum.
Il see" he writes, that The Forum
has advanced the idea that everybody
should unite on candidate for mayor
ind cut out a bitter municipal cam.
paign. The" idea is good one, and
while l don't always agree with The
Forum. 1t is certainly on the right
track i'm this instance.
i also see that The News says this
is the time to select imam of the
hour" for mayor of Fargo.
I believe / can name a man that
both The Forum and The News can
unite In supporting: a man that will
meet the demands of both publica-
tons. My suggestion is AL LOOMS.
He Is pioneer, a thoroughly exper-
fenced business man, a former post
master, and familiar with public af-
fairs. He is familiar with local CON
ditions and knows the situation.
He is an honest man. He does his
own thinking. No man can say he
was ever lead around by the nose He
has made good In business, as a mem
Der of the legislature and as a federal
official He has been weighed in the
balance and has never been found
wanting. Why not elect him mayor
Of Fargo?
THE business interests Of Fargo |
should think this matter over SER
lously.
IF The Forum and The News are
really in earnest in their expressions
regarding a peaceful municipal cam
oaign and a At man for the place. here
Is an opportunity for both of them to
make good with the people Of Fargo
Il have no idea whether Mr.. LOOMS
would accept the position. I know he
s in every way qualified and believe
+ he was assured of the practically
support of the voters he
would at least give the matter a
and thoughtful considera-
ion"
