TIPS ON STATE POLITICS.

Cor. Gazette:
St. Paul, Dec. 20. It is not often
that gathering of the kind so many
old faces were missing and so many
new acquaintance had to be made
as at the preliminary meeting of the
state senators held here the other
day. Few of the members of the
upper house realized how many OF
their old associates had fallen by
the wayside in the election and how
great the number Of statesman IN
the making until all got together
and began sizing each other up.
However, there were enough among
item who knew the ropes to pro-
c aed with the business in hand and
i. only took short time to dispose
of the more important part Of 1t.
In point of fact the programme had
already been pretty well agreed up
on before the solons got together.
The principal purpose for whic b
the senators met was to decide upon
the personnel of the senate officials,
although while here the senators
too occasion to confer with the lieu.
tenant governor in regard to com,
mittee assignments and to signify
their preferences in that respect. lr
regard to what he will do in the
matter the lieutenant governor /:
keeping his own counsel. The only
thing really certain as to what hs
will do is that he will appoint
strong temperance committee
strong, that is, in the sense that
majority Of its members will be pro
nounced temperance men many Of
them with decided leaning towards
county option, which Mr.. Gordon
himself is understood to favor
Otherwise the organization of tn
senate is largely a matter of con
lecture.

quite generally suspected that Geo.

ceeded Mr., Langum on the latter's
appointment as postmaster to the
national house of representatives, in
the position of secretary to the SEN
ate, had the inside track in the race
for this office with the senators-elect.
This suspicion proved to be well
founded when the senators met.

SAW SIGHTS; soon i SUES
But Erick Cheltin Fails to Recover $83
Spent for Drugs.

1t cost Erick Cheltin, young, am
bilious and inquisitive, .,$83 and
much modification as the result of
his first trip along the primrose path.
In municipal court today before
Judge Pendergast, Erick appeared
as the complaining witness against
L. Chandler and NJ. Jorgenson,
whom he accused shaving swindled
him out of the above sum by furnish
ing him with spurious drugs.
1t developed that, Erick set out
one night not long ago to see
the sights. AS a result he appeared
glad to avail himself of aid proffered
by Chandler and Jorgenson, even to
the extent of paying over $S3 for the
drugs which failed to effect a cure.
: Judge Pendergast was unable to
see where the accused men had done
anything illegal and dismissed the
case.

SWEDBACK TO USE STICKERS

Through circumstance over which
I had no control, some of the petit
tons l had sent out to be signed in
order to permit my name to go upon
the ballot, did not reach me in
time, and as a result my name is
left out from the official compilation
of candidates. But inasmuch as I
am in receipt constantly of urgent
support and solicitation to run, from
different sections of the county, and
further that my failure to appear
upon the ballot with the rest of the
candidates was not due to the lack of
signers, but because one or two petit
tons did not arrive in time to be
filed Tuesday Oct. 10, 1 feel it would
be disappointment to my friend
to withdraw at this time hence I
have decided to make the run with
stickers, and feel confident that my
friends will agree with me in my
decision and will heartily support
me in my campaign. While may
be asking considerable of the voters
in this county and this city to
write my name on the ballot Cor use
sticker) besides marking an X. yet
I think have sufficient number of
friends who will be pleased to go to
this extra trouble in order to see
me elected.
=. Yours for success,
Charles S. Swedback.

HITS AGENTS;THAhkSPuBLIC
Editor Oliver Happy in Belief 'Law-
less Cowboys" Are Doomed.

A. A. Oliver, editor of. the Cass
County Pioneer, while in Bemidji
last evening, dictated the following
card of thanks:
81 wish to extend my thanks to
representative citizens of the
northern part of the state of Min
nesota for their hearty good will
and support in the cases which I
have been conducting to- secure
better government in our Indian
department"
Mr.. Oliver has been active in
his efforts to protect the rights of
the citizens of this part of North
ern Minnesota against unjust in
vasions by what he terms claw
less cowboys turned loose by the
Indian bureau of the interior de-
partment."
1t was Mr.. Oliver who started the
now famous Sero-Daviscase by swear
ing out warrants for their arrest on a
charge of assault. More recently he
has been engaged in securing evil
dence charging different agents with
extortlon from saloonkeepers.
I think my work along this line
is now about completed" said Mr..
Oliver last night, for our country is
getting rid of the standing army
with which the government has seen
fit to infest US. Every good citizen
is willing to aid the government and
demand obedience to laws when the
government goes about it in a re.
spectacle manner"

BROWN BALKS PETTY CRAFT
Associate Justice, Father of Bemidji
Attorney, Refuse. Dance Tickets.

In referring to Justice Calvin L.
Brown, father of Monte Brown, the
Bemidji attorney, the St. Paul Dis
patch, in an item revealing the
petty graft to which political candi.
dates are exposed, says:
1T has remained for Calvin L.
Brown, associate justice of the state
supreme court to produce a classic
refusal of tickets.
candidates for office are looked
upon as legitimate prey by those ar.
ranging social affairs having a fnan.
cial side. The sending of tickets to
candidates and requesting a check
in exchange is as customary as the
receipt of mail. The members o.
the bench suffer the least from this,
but one such appeal came YESTERDAY
to Judge Brown, containing ten tick
cts to a dance.
1.-The judge returned the tickets
with the following letter:
"Dear Sir-I return herewith
the ten tickets to the first annual
ball of the Peoples Independent
Republican club, appointed to be
held in Minneapolis on October
26, which I received from you
yesterday. I am unable to dis.
pose of them.
1.-THE truth of the matter is that
the people over here in St: Paul
are loath to go so far to attend a
dance, and they decline to buy the
tickets. Am out OF the habit nv.
self, and therefore return the
tickets that you may not be de.
layed in disposing of them to those
who enjoy entertainments of this
kind. Very respectfully,
49, &C. L. Brown"

Rudely Stopped Match
GETS CHALLENGE FROM DULUTH
Fireman Champion Offer: to Put Him

wrestling costume and is to 90 after
Pete Edd again. Ed is the man
who was showing up we'll against
Sailor Jack in the little affair at the
Armory Opera house Saturday eve

Sailor Jacks Task Outlined.
Sailor Jack agrees to throw Peter
Ed three times within an hour of
actual wrestling or forfeit the entire
purse of 5000. If be fails to do this
Edd wins the match"
All of which looks fair to Edd
who declares he is going to put a
reef in Jacks sails.
On top of this comes more trouble
for the navigator. 1t is unfolded in
the following letter:
Sporting Editor, Daily Pioneer.
Dear Sir-In your edition of yes

things where he is cock of the walk

mariner on in a wrestling match
