TAWNEY EXPLAINS
AYERS HIS OPPONENT WON
THROUGH "KNOCkS" OF
OPPOSITE PARTY,
WHO VOTED REPUBLICAN TICKET
Under the Present Primary Law This
Could Not be Prevented.-Dem-
ocratic Candidate Buck Is
sues Denial.

Winona. After declaring that
his defeat is directly attributed to the
voting by the Democrats in the Re-
publican primaries, Congressman Taw-
new, defeated on Tuesday, issued the
following: my defeat for nomina-
ton cannot be charged to the bolt OF
the Republicans. In seven of the 10
counties in this district, there was no
contest for any Democratic nomina-
ton. One vote, therefore, in these
counties would nominate the Demo-
cratic candidate.
1.-THE Democratic vote in these coun-
ties two years ago was over 1000.
At the primary election in these coun-
ties there were less than $50 Demo
cinct in one county there were 70
more Republican ballots voted than
were cast for President Taft in the
same precinct two years ago.
ct will be seen, therefore, that the
Democrats of the district have made
the Republican nomination, as it was
intended they should do when my op-
ponent was selected only short time
before the time for filing expired and
after the insurgents had spent more
than three months in fruitless en-.
deavor to obtain Republican to file
as candidate against me.
"The Democrats knew this was their
only opportunity to accomplish my de-
feat, and they naturally took advant-
age of it. Under the former system
of making nominations this would
have been IMPOSSIBLE"

Buck D...ies the Charges.

Mr.. Buck, the Democratic candidate,
made the following statement refutfng
the charges: ut is probably true
that some Democrats throughout the
district called for Republican ballots.
1t is also true that some Republicans
called for Democratic ballots. 1t is
true also that many of the Democrats
voting in the Republican primaries
cast their ballots for Mr.. Tawney and
others for Mr.. Anderson.
None of these Democratic votes,
however, were cast for Republican
candidates at the solicitation of any
Democrat, but at the insistent import
tuning of the Republican candidates
for local offices who desired their help
in securing the nominations.
early in August 1 issued a state,
ment which was widely published
throughout the district in which l ex-
pressed the hope that the Democrats
would resist the solicitation of this
Republican friends and abstain from
taking part in the Republican primar.
les.
.'The claim by Mr.. Tawney that his
defeat for the nomination was brought
about by these Democratic votes is
not borne out by the returns and it is
self-apparent that the republican vot-
ers of this district are the ones who
are responsible for his defeat"

| marriage to Russell G. Colt, jr., she
takes most grewsome part, and it
all ends in the suicide of her

She is Zoe Blundell, for IA years
| wife of Theo. Blundell, who, with
her aid, has become well to do

climbing they kept to their resolve
never to "have brats of children"

But Blundell will not forgive her.
There is a different standard be-

good natured chap, sees fun ahead
and takes up the gauntlet
From the difficulties encountered
by Brewster it would seem that the
spending of ten hundred thousand
dollars "legitimately" in 1865 days
is attended by greater hardships
than is the saving of a similar
amount. The action of the piece,
as might be imagined, is rapid and
intensely funny. The company for
the most part is made UP of young
players equipped with spirit and
enthusiasm, the scenery is elab-
crate and massive, the lines witty,
the situations cleverly conceived,
and the storm scene in the third
