No criticism can be made of State
Auditor Iverson's letter, except that,
if he is. to be given credit for the
things to which he directs attentions;
and if in order to secure the reforms
urged it is necessary to re-elect him
auditor, there is but narrow field in
which other executive offers, nota-
bly, the governor, may exploit their
claims. Were Governor Johnson alive
today there is little doubt that he
would regard Mr.. Iverson's pronuncia-
mento as an incursion on the executive
preserves. His opponents always
charged that he claimed credit for
everything that had been accomplished
during his administration by the leg
islature as we'll as by the executive
departments of government. We do
the governor justice, however, he new
er claimed credit for laws passed by
congress. Mr.. Iverson has got little
ahead of him in this respect.

more than is apparent on the surface,


1t is said that Mr.. Iverson antici-
pates that his candidacy viii be- re-
garded with favor in Ramsey county,
of which he has long been resident.
Far be it from me to attempt to solve
the mysteries of Ramsey county poll
tics. The surface indications here,
however, are that when the conven-
ton meets Ramsey county will have
its own particular favorite son in the
person of George Dix who is a candi-
date for clerk of the supreme court.
Anyone else who expects favors must
nave substantial quid pro quo to Of
fer in return for them, in the shape of
delegates whom he can turn over TO
George Dix. The personal equation
comes in here also. In st. Paul we have
grown accustomed to look to Hon. Oar
S. Reese to manage our political af-
fairs in matters in which State offices
are concerned; and Mr.. Reese has
never allowed the light of his beam
ing countenance to shed its brilliance
undimmed on Mr.. Iverson. The fact is
time was when he fought him tooth
and nail, and four years ago almost
succeeded in preventing his nomina-
ton.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-02-18

If in the north Mrs. Wells is attack
ing Mr.. Iverson's strongholds, Mr..
Thompson is no less busy in that Sec
ton in which Mr.. Iverson has long
been regarded as the favorite son.
Among those who are knocking Iver-
son and boosting Thompson is Thomas
J. Meighan of Mr.. Iverson's own coun-
ty of Fillmore, the president of the
First National bank of Preston and a
member up to the time it was legislat-
ed out of Office of the State board Of
equalization. Mr.. Meighan is not a
Republican, but processes to be an in
dependent; from which it may fairly
be deduced that he is more or less a
Democrat. AS member of the State
board of equalization at which Mr..
Iverson also sat, he claims to have
special knowledge of Mr.. Iverson's at
titude towards certain interests which
had intimate relations with the audi
tors department, and when in town
the other day he suggested that Mr..
Iverson's record as a member of the
board of equalization should be- stud
led in connection with his appeal to
the public.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-02-18

But if Mr.. Iverson is busy his op-
ponents have not been idle. Bob
Wells of Breckenridge is not the kind
of man to stay his hand when he has
once entered upon a political contest.
He is as familiar as anyone with the
political game; and better informed
than most people as to the States re-
sources and its revenues and their ex-
penditure. His friends claim for him
that he represents that section of the
State most in need of development;
that its interests would be safer in his
hands; and that, on general principles,
Mr.. Iverson having occupied public
position for quarter of century, he
should be satisfied to make room for
another equally competent and deserv-
ing.

Mr.. Thompson. 1 give this prediction

Bob Dunn was talking about that
matter the other day, and giving what
he claimed to be the inside history of
Mr.. Iverson's nomination at the Du-
luth convention. Tom Shevlin's activ-
ity in that convention will be remem-
bered, and his subsequent damna-
ton of the late Hon. A. L. Cole with
his outspoken approval. Bob claimed
that it was because ShevIn came out
at the convention as an active oppo-
ment of Iverson that Iverson was
nominated. Iverson's managers were
clever enough to take advantage of
Shevlin's opposition. "Look," they
said to the country member, ''here is
the arch chief of the lumber barons.
He is out fiat footed for Reese's man.
He is fighting Iverson tooth and nail.
If you vote against Iverson you will
be playing into the hands of the tim
Der thieves. Don't let them fool you.
The only safe thing for you to do is to
vote against the candidate Shevlin
supports" And that's what they did.
1t was Bob's opinion and he was
just as liable to know as anybody,
that if Shelvin hadn't fought openly
against him Iverson couldn't have
been nominated at that time.

The center of political interest here,
however, so far so national politics
is concerned, is the Ninth district. In
announcing that he has abandoned the
congressional field, and that at the
next election he will in all probability
be again a candidate for the State
senate. Ole Sageng is being given
credit for having adopted Frank Days
machiavellian tactics. 1t is we'll
known that what is keeping more
than one Republican candidate out of
the field in the Ninth district has been
what has heretofore been regarded as
certainty that, even if he did get the
nomination, he would only be up
against the harder proposition of how,
with a disrupted party behind him, he
could win victory against the populist
champion. If Sageng can convince
those ambitious for congressional hon.
ors that he is really out of the fight
the field will not long be left to
Steenerson and Bjorge. By the wise
ones Sageng's tentative declaration
that he wants to go again to the State
senate is taken to mean that he wants
to encourage Andy Stephens and SEN
ator Peterson to get into the game.
What he wants to see is a Kilkenny
cat fight among the Republicans. The
hotter it is the better he will like it,
and the easier it will be for him after
wards to jump in and capture the
plum.

HIS ARGUMENTS PROVE
NOTHING.
Claims Everything in Sight, but
it is Just as Easy to Prove He
is Responsible for Deficit.
His Narrow Escaped Last Time.
The Seabury Claim and
Cunningham Luck.

St. Paul, Feb. 15.--Of the retiring
State officers, Auditor Iverson has
been the first to formally announce
that he is a candidate for reelection.
This he has done in a circular letter
which has been widely distributed. In
that he tabulates his claims to public
confidence and the grounds on which
they are based. He wants delegates
to vote for him:
First-Because, by reason of repre-
sentations made at Washington, $67-
1872. % has been paid into the State
treasury, interest on 100000 borrow
ed by the State for the purpose of sup
pressing the Indian war of 1862. 1t
was necessary to secure the passage
of an act by Congress before this pay
ment could be made.
Second-Because as a result of a
controversy extending over six years
the State will receive from the federal
government about 10000 acres of
swamp land in the Leech Lake, Win
nebagoshish and White Earth reser-
vations.
Third-This reason involves the
statement that between July 81, 1902,
and July 81, 1909, there has been an
increase in the permanent funds of
the State of Sits, 1881 and that
more than one half of the total amount
received from sales of pine, etc. since
the beginning of the State government,
has been paid in during the seven
years Mr.. Iverson has been auditor.
Fourth-Because the receipts of the
State have grown from seven and a
half millions in 1902 to twelve and a
half millions in 1909. In this connec-
ton it is pointed out that whereas the
receipts for the year ending July 81,
1909, were $12, 1921 1856, the disburse-
ments the same year were $12,717 ,01S.
In other words there was deficit that
year of nearly $500, 900. However, no.
body is likely either to credit Mr.. w.
verson with the receipts or charge
him up with the deficit which would
scarcely have occurred under financial
management of the right sort.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1910-02-18

While Mr.. Iverson admits that dur
ing his administration much has been
accomplished, he has taken the trouble
to point out the direction in which re-
forms are needed. ''The old laws reg
ulating State timber sales should be
still further modified" he says. "If
rightly managed our non-agricultural
forest lands can be made to produce a
perpetual revenue to the school fund ;
those tracts suitable for agriculture
should be available for farming pur-
poses; the swamp lands should be re-
claimed; our vast mineral wealth
should be carefully guarded by wise
and efficient laws; wagon
roads wherever needed should be built
to assist in the development of State
lands; and fire protection system

A large number of people seem to
think that Governor Eberhart made a
mistake IN paying Charming Sea-
bury's claim which Governor johnson
disallowed on the ground that items
in it were not authorized by law. The
governor intimates that in refusing to
pay it Johnson was playing politics,
and there are good many who are
not quite ready to believe that of
Johnson. It was Governor Johnson's
boast that the capitol was built with
out dollar of graft, and a matter of
pride that he contributed to that re-
suit. If the Seabury claim disallowed
by johnson aud allowed now by Eber-
hart had merit the legislature could
have been relied upon to see that the
claimant got what was justly due him.
The interest in the so-called stCun-
ningham group" of claims to Alaska
coal lands will probably not be de-
creased in Minnesota by the knowl-
edge that Clarence Cunningham, from
whom the group gets its name, is q

The "Macaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites Or Cops who in England and France led the fashions from 17S0 to 17S5 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the toi of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on theii topknot, satin or brocade coats au7 small clothes fitting tightly to the bod and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen who invariably car ried a long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged min ing and affected gait and manne* There was during the war for inde- pendence a body of Maryland soldier, who on account of their showy u'. forms were called "macaroni."

Australians still tell stories of tho colonial volunteers, although the war Is a far memory. One, a member of the Stock Exchange, was left one wet and miserable night to guard a wagon load of goods. He shivered in the un- sheltered place for some hours ponder Ing many things, and then a bright thought struck him just as the colonel same around on his tour of inspection.

 q don't know" was the answer. "Much or little, we can't afford to lose it.
 "Well. but, colonel" persisted the amateur soldier, "you might give me A rough idea of the value."
 "About f200," said the colonel testify.
