THE MAYoRALTY CONTEST.

At the meeting at the, auditorium
last Saturday night Mayor James G.
Haynes rendered an account of his
services to this city and outlined the
policy he will pursue during the next
two years if returned to the office
which he now holds. Mayor Haynes
speech was warmly applauded, which
seems to indicate that he wears we'll
in Office.
Mayor Haynes administration is
not open to any serious criticism He
has always taken bold stand against
the attempt of corporations to gain
monopolistic control. He has stood
resolutely to his pledges to the peo-
pie. His experience and ability have
enabled him to give Minneapolis an
excellent administration In taking
his stand against privilege he has, of
course, aroused the enmity of pow
erful opposition. He stands before
the voters in the present campaign
on his record. If the voters appreci-
ate the stand he has taken in their be.
half he will be returned to Office
In this connection the following ex-
tract from letter to Mayor Haynes
written by Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of
Denver. Colorado, is interesting as
an Endorsement from a man who has
gained a national reputation for his
work on behalf of the rights of the
people Judge Lindsey says:
Il remember with pleasure visiting
Minneapolis last November to find
the Mayor fearlessly standing up for
the rights of the people in their con-
test with the local gas company. 1t

some of our sad experiences in Den

could not help acting on the inspira-
ton to write you letter warmly
commencing you for your magnificent
courage and determination, regardless
OF consequences, to take your stand
for justice. I haven't any doubt that
the privilege grabbers have got it in
for you. and if money, and the usual
influences that come from the power
that money brings, can, accomplish
your defeat, they certainly will get
your scalp. This is the very reason
why all good citizens, regardless of
party name or label, should stand by
you in this struggle. I wish were a
citizen Of Minneapolis so that I could
help return man who has been as
faithful as you have been in the most
serious struggles that concern not

THE GovERNoRsHlP,

James Gray, Democratic candidate
for governor, delivered his first 20.
litical speech in this city at the audi
forum last Saturday night. Mr.. Gray
outlined his policy in the present
campaign, stating definitely the posi-
ton he takes on the various issues.
He laid special stress on county op-
ton as an issue and declared that
though he had tried to find out how
his opponent stood on this question he
was unsuccessful. Herein lies the
Difference in the two men who are
seeking the high Office of governor
OF this state. The Democratic candi.
date has stated in plain words that
he stands for the direct election of
United States senators by the votes
OF the people, for the Initiative and
referendum, for the extension of the
principle of the direct primary to
state officers, and for the regulation
and restriction of the liquor traffic.
On most of these questions Mr.. Eber.
hart is significantly silent. When
asked to give an explicit statement
OF his position on these questions
his only answer is that he stands on
the Republican platform. A man who
seeks the highest honor at the gift of
the voters of this state ought to have
convictions of his own on these cues.
tons and the people have a right tc
know what he thinks. To say that
he stands by the Republican platform
on matters about which the platform
makes a vague general statement is
not answering the question.
Mr.. Eberhart has been asked to
state his position on the question
of the direct election of senators and
he has not given satisfactory an.
swer. He has been asked to state
his views on the extension of the
principle of the primary to state of.
t'cers and he has not given a def
mite reply. These are questions to
which the people demand an answer.
If Mr.. Eberhart has view to ex.
press, it is his duty to express it;
If he has not, he does not deserve
the high honor to which he aspires.
In the matter of county option Mr..
Eberhart has lodged about, refusing
to recognize it as an issue. He will
not say whether he favors or dis
favors it. He has signified his will.
lingnsss to sign a county option bill
If the legislature should pass one.
If Mr.. Eberhart is sincere this dec
laration would indicate that he fav-
ors such bill. And yet he has ridi-
culed Mr.. Gray for stating that he

The Book Committee of the Brook
ly Public Library on being pressed for
an answer to the question why
America" a Catholic Review pub
lished by the Jesuit Fathers, was not
given regular place in the library
reading rooms, replied that the jour-
nal had not been in existence long
enough to become permanently es-
tablished periodical. America has
been published for the past two
years and is high class Catholic
publication. What reason the COM
mittee has for thinking that Amer
lea is not permanently established is
a question, and why that fact should
take precedence over the standard OF
the publication is a further question
that is hard to answer.

My Dear Mr. Powers-I regret ex-
ceedingly that prearranged engage

and true friend Mr. F. L. Ryan. Mr..
Ryan is a gentleman of sound moral
character and is a credit to both
Church and State. Hoping that the
occasion will be worthy of the man,

Yours very sincerely,

The reception given to President
Fred L. Ryan gave evidence of the
character of the man and the value
of the A. O.. H. organization. When
We find a lofty ideal and united SEN

earnest and honest we can expect only
good of that society. The A. o. H.

tending the knowledge of the past of

tunate in having such an excellent
representation in the Ladies' Auxil-

The future should bring to them a
large accession and thus increase the
field of their work. The pleasure of
hearing Erin's songs and stories pro-
duced by our members of the local
orders SO we'll rendered should be
an incentive to attend the regular
meetings, for it is wise to have a
due mixture of business and pleasure.

Gently declared that Judge Anderson
of Indiana was "jackass and a

language is unbecoming of man of
Mr. Roosevelt's rank. It is ungentle-

The dictator of the Republican party
seems to be obsessed with the idea
that everything anti-Roosevelt is un-
constitutional.
After dominating the New York
convention, naming the candidates
and shaping the platform Mr. Roose-

strenuosity would indicate that
though election is but a little more
than a week away he is not convinced
that his opponents are beaten to a

likely to win much strength for the
Republican ticket. The people will
not be dominated by a man who has
gone to such an extreme.

Stubborn Fight is Promised for Supremacy in This

White Republicans Are Also After Scalp of Ferd Hayis, Who
 Controls Committee.

The most stubborn fight for fin, control of the Jefferson County Re- publican Central Committee eyer re- corded among the white and colored itepnellcans Of Jefferson county is ex- lected to result when the Republican county convention meets at the Knights of Pythias hall at noon Mem cay. Several delegates and alternates gre also to be elected to the Repub- can convention to be held in Little Rock on .llne II. There is move on foot to overthrow Dr. R. c. ] Thompson, the present chairman of the county committee, and Ferd Hav- ls., negro Republican, who has do- minated affairs in Republican circles in this county for more than twenty years. It is understood that the white Republicans are planning to elect Dr. A. G. Thompson, chairman ol the county central committee and that they hope to control the con- mittee if this is accomplished.
 For the past week ward meetings Lave been held ill this city and dele gates elected to the county conven- ton from very precinct In some instances the negroes have succeeded in scoring victory but in other wards the white Republicans have controlled the meetings and have sent white delegates to the county convention. The sreat,aest strength of Dr. Thomp- son and Ferd Havis is from the ru- ral districts throughout the county, r here the negro Republicans are greatly in the majority and where few white Republicans live. There are about twenty country precincts to be represented in the county conyen- tion. Upon some of the delegates from these precincts the white Re- publicans are relying for additional ':oting strength on the convention floor. Dr. R. c. Thompson, although white Republican, has associated with the negro Republicans in the control of their county political af- fairs for several years and he is be- iEg backed up by Ferd Havis, who yields much influence among the ne- gro committee members.
 At meeting of the Republicans O. the Third ward, held at No. 713 Lin- Gen street Thursday night Dr. A. G. Thompson and Charles Hayeock were elected delegates to the county convention and H. Bringman and Alex Perdue were recommended for ward for ward committeeman.
