TIE UP OVER
BALLINGER
Minority Members Of Inquiry
Committee Ignore Chair
man Nelson
LESS THAN QUORUM TO
BE AT CHICAGO MEETING

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept 1O.-So far as
the Democratic and insurgents minor
ity of the Ballinger- -Pinchot investi-
cation committee is concerned, the in
vestigatiou ends with the publication
of their reports condemning r. A..
Ballinger. secretary of the interior.
Adiourning 10 meet in Washington,
d. c., December B. they completely
ignored the action of Senator Nelson,
chairman in calling a meeting in
Chicago. Tuesday. In addition to this
formal declaration that they are all
through with the matter the minority
members today declare they will have
nothing to do with the Chicago meet
ing.
This means that the bolting Repub-
lican members will be as little able
to take action as a committee as were
the anti-Ballinger men in Minneapo-
lis Only six members of the COM
mittee will attend the Chicago meet
ing, one less than a quorum. They
will be Senator Nelson, Senator Suth-
erland of Utah, Representative DENLY
of Michigan and Representative Nc
Call of Massachusetts. who bolted the
Minneapolis meeting, Representative
Olmsted of Pennsylvania, who arrived
Friday night after it was all over and
Senator Root of New York. Senator
Flint the other stand-pat member is
in Europe. Il is expected that these
six members will draw up a report
which will be later signed by Flint
and be regarded as a majority re-
port.
As the Ballinger Republican mem
bers claim to have Flint's concur
renee in whatever report they make, il
is believed the Chicago finding will
be made public Immediately to coun-
teract the effect of the anti-Ballinger
report.

A New Stabber.

The Audubon Republican evidently
wants new stabber for next election.
In their last issue before election, they
advertised for an old table knife. They
stabbed SO hard the last week before
election in their issue, which came out
day late too prevent the Advocate
from answering their rot, that they
evidently wore out their old stabber.
Stabbing in the dark or in the back is
bad business. 1t resulted as such work
usually does, in the election of the can
didate stabbed. The stabs with the old
knife dug up some 450 majority for Mr..
Crees. Stab again Mr. Ross The
Audubon Advocate.
No stabbing at all Mr.. Advocate. All
we did was to ask Elder Spencer fol
some more explanation, which he has
not given. AT the time of its occurrence
we supposed that leaving the doors un.
locked was q blunder; but now
it looks as though it may have been a
shrewd political move. The majority
that Sheriff Crees received last Tuesday
clearly suggests that it would be a
popular thing not only to leave the cell
doors open but also to furnish step
ladder, saw and crowbar at public ex-
pense for the use of other horse thieves
who may be captured.
p. S. Our Stabber may be little
blunt, but our skinning knife has a
keen edge. And we give you fair warn
ing that If we ever enter another cam
paign together and you commence
butting in there will be one free hide
hung on the fence to dry in short order.
