UPSTATE WITH ROOSEVELT.
Chairman Prentice Finds Solid Senti
ment.

New York, Oct. 22.-"The country dis

Chairman Prentice OF the Republican
state committee Yesterday, "and the op.
position to him in the cities is much
less than / expected to find. Ii we do
fairly well upstate, we are absolutely
safe, for we are going to get a big
vote in New York City. And now they
tell me they are going to do better up
state than they did two years ago
Mr. Prentice returned yesterday, hrim-
ming with optimism from a two-day
trip devoted 10 conferences with Repub-
liean leaders from Albany to Buffalo
Some of the people I talked with up
state said Mr. Prentice. said Mr.
Roosevelt was little wild, perhaps. and
some OF them wished he'd do things in
q different way. but on the main propo-
sitions they were with him. This anti
Roosevelt sentiment Is limited to what
is called the Wall street crowd and
as a voting proposition il doesn't amount
to much. The Democrats haven't a leg
TO stand on unless they can make people
believe this foolish idea that Roosevelt
wants TO be dictator Nobody | met
upstate believed Roosevelt wants an.
other nomination or could get IL If he
did. These people have been following
Stimson's speeches They are afraid OF
Tammany. Mr.. Dix's inconsistency on
the tariff aud his failure to answer ques.
tons on the issues has hut him.

CONFER ON POSTAL SAVINGS.
Macveagh and Andrew Consider Plans

Washington, Oct. 22.-Secretary of
the Treasury MaeVeagh and Assistant
Secretary Andrew conferred yesterday
concerning postal savings bank plans
The trustees-Mr, MaeYeagh, Attorney
General Wickersbam and Postmaster
General Hitchcock will meet in day
or two to consider committee reports
on the working details The treasury
officials are working out the plans
steadily, but slowly, owing to desire
to safeguard against any defects in a
scheme Of such magnitude where more
than 100000 post Offices and perhaps l5
100000 depositors may be affected.
They base these figures on the work
III other postal savings countries, as in
England, where the latest reports
showed 100000 odd depositors.

Paris, Oct. -Basing its conclusions
upon what it terms IAN impartial in
quiry as to the chances for republic
in Spain" the Matin finds that two
events are liable to confront the imperial
monarchy. The first is the capitula-
ton of the government to the Vatican.
The second eyentuality is the succumb-
ing of the government to the designs
of certain military groups to launch a
program for the political conquest OF
Morocco. This would be most unpopular
with the people, as it would involve
the calling out Of the reservists from
their homes, with the inevitable result
of anti-monarchical outbreaks similar to
those that occurred at Barcelona year
ago.

ATTEMPT At MURDER FAILS
Discharged EmpIoye Killed by Rail-

tackled at ST. Paul.

Failing in an attempt to assas-
sinate Chief Special Agent Alton G.
Ray of the Great Northern railroad
at St. Paul by firing five shots
from a revolver at him C. P. Welsh, a
discharged agent of the road, hurled a
bottle of nitroglycerin at his former
chief in the latter's office.
The deadly fluid failed to explode
and Mr.. Ray shot his assailant dead as
he lodged into an anteroOm.
The ARRAY was the elimination Of a
number of threats Welsh had made
against his former chief.
Welsh, after having shot George
Miller at Duluth on June II, was dis
charged by MI. Ray, who declared
Welsh had done so without provoca-
ton.
Walsh left the employ of the Great
Northern July q and since that time
had been calling at Rays office almost
daily, asking for unemployment and
demanding a recommendation. When

BUILDING PERMIT ISSUED
Steel Company to Erect Costly Plant
at Spirit Lake.

Probably the largest building per-
nit ever issued in the West was given
to the Minnesota Steel company for
the erection of a steel plant at Spirit
Lake, near Duluth.
The permit calls for buildings cost
ing $1O,OOO,OOO and the company paid
the city $1,415 in fees.
There are forty-eight separate build
ings mentioned in the application for
the permit. They are all of steel and
concrete construction and include
blast furnaces, machine shops and all
the other buildings which go to make
up the plant
Work is going ahead rapidly at the
present time and the issuance of the
permit is believed to mean much more
energetic efforts to complete the plant
at an early date.

subordinates who had rushed in when
the firing started.
Police headquarters was notified
and sent a patrol wagon, containing
number of detectives and officers to
the scene. The officers found Welsh
dead. Police Surgeon Dohm, who was
one of the first to arrive, said that
either two of the shots, one through
the right temple and another through
the stomach, would have caused al
most instant death.

Ray refused to have anything to do
with him he became ugly and said
that he would kill him.
After the shooting Ray accompanied
Detective Frank Fraser to police head
quarters under technical arrest await
ing the action of the coroner.
Shortly after Chief Clerk Lew Hess
of Mr.. Rays office arrived at his desk
in the Great Northern building Welsh
came in and without a word drew a
long black gunmetal revolver of 81
caliber from his pocket and opened
fire.
Both Hess and Ray lodged and
knelt on the floor, Ray feeling for his
gun. Welsh fired five shots in quick
succession, all of which spattered on
the plaster behind the desk and with
in few inches of Rays head.
AssaiIant Empties Revolver.
Welsh fired with his right hand and
seemed to be feeling for something in
his pocket with his left AS Ray got
his Colts automatic into action Welsh
fired his last shot.
Then he hurled the package which
he had drawn from his pocket. The
stream of bullets which was pouring
from Rays gun seemed to confuse the
former emplOye and he put little force
behind his attempt. Ray did not re-
alize until afterWard that the package
contained nitroglycerin, with fuse and
cap attached-almOst enough to de-
stroy the entire building and perhaps
kill the 200 employees.
Rays shots were deadly. While
those of his antagonist were spatter-
ing harmlessly over his head at least
four Of the six bullets in his auto
matte pistol took effect.

Now that the time for filing at the primary
election is past we are assured that there will
abe no contests in connection with the nominal
tions for county officers. This means that when
election time comes, the candidates of the two
parties will be pitted against another and
the contest will theoretically be partisan one.
We may be expected to hear a great deal about
"voting the ticket straight" but however de-
sireable such a manner of voting may be- the
candidate who relies it is certain to be dis
. appointed. Although this is nominally Re-
publican county, doubt whether there are
200 old fashioned straight Republican votes in
the county. People may vote for and elect
Republican to Office but they will not vote for
him simply because he is a Republican. This
1oosening of party ties has meant the lessening
of party responsibility, but that is another
story The only point making now is to
warn candidates against relying on the party
label for their election. Individual merit alone
and now always that's the most important
consideration with voters these days, and no
candidate should spare any pains in making
his merits known to the voters.
Since the above written a contest has
developed between D. T. Wheaton and J. E.
Cole for the Republican nomination for county
relative to contests at the election.

A recent ruling of the attorney general
makes radical change in what has heretofore
been regarded as the powers and duties of the
sheriff in regard to the endorsement of the
criminal laws. Heretofore the sheriff has been
hardly than a process-server, but the at
torney- general now says that he is a common
law peace officer, and that it is his duty to see
that the laws are obeyed, to investigate COM
plants and institute prosecutions of his own
motion, and in general to preserve the "peace
and dignity of the state of Minnesota" This
means an added responsibility on the voters in
the choice of the proper person for sheriff.
