Frank Alice, former Republican Secre-
tary OF State Caleb X. Layton and
others, should have survived such
struggle and come out oil it victorious
III a three counties
On the Republican side another i'm
portGnt cement OF strength was the
TACT that United States Senator du-
PDnt made no attempt whatever to
dictate or dominate the legislative
nominations in any OF the counties.
Ills policy was that political by-gones
should be political by-gones; that his
Senatorial aspirations should be OF
secondary Importance, and that the
prime consideration in making all such
nominations should be the strength OF
the legislative candidates i'll the re-
spectivc districts and their fitness for
the important Offices to which they
aspred.
"Unquestionab,y one a the best
Republicans in the State in the recent
e.ection was Willard Salisbury, Jr.,
the Democratic leader and Senatorial
aspirant. He is SO unpopular within

United States Senate The argument
was advanced by those old-line VOL
colt Democrats that the time had
come to arouse the Democracy OF the
State from its lethargy, and TO inspire
it to select for its leader a man who
could roll up something besides min
critics. Assertion was made that
Salisbury had become afflicted with
such an exaggerated ego that he
thought it far better for the Demo
cratic party to follow him to defeat
than to .ollo wa capable Democratic
leader to victory.
For once in the political history OF
Kent county. and possibly also in a
measure in Sussex county, there were
old line Wo,cott Democrats who work
ed together for the defeat of a Sauls-
bury. Before the Democratic State
convention was held, Willard Sauls-
bury, IT,. went to Europe and remain
cd there until after the State nomina
tions had been made. The most pro-
minent candidate for the Democratic
, nomination for Congress was William
| Salisbury OF Dover, owner and editor
of that staunch Salisbury organ. the
/ Dover Delawarean, and also chairman
OF the Democratic county committee
in Kent county. When William Sauls-

ney, and w. E. Johnson, special In
dian agent for the government. Mr..
Carl says he will accomplish his pur-
pose if he has to appeal to the depart
ment of justice. He demands the clos
ing of every saloon in the territory
covered by the treaty of 1855, which
includes Brainerd, Wadena, Bemidji,
Staples and several others of impor
lance.
Mr. Johnson has so far refused to
take any action in reference to these
cities on the grounds that it was not
the intention of the treaty to include
them. He argued that the intention
of the treaty is to prohibit the sale of
liquor to Indians, and inasmuch as the
saloons in these cities do not sell to
the red men he will not modest them.
Mr.. Johnson has been inclined to
doubt the sincerity of Mr.. Carrs in
tention and charges that he is the
agent of the bootieggers and the brew
cries, and that he has a specific pur-
pose in his agitation. He declares
that it is the plan to have all the sa-
looms in northern Minnesota close,
which will result in such protest
that congress will annul the treaty.

BIG FIRE AT SALTWATER.
Flames Warded From State Prison by
Efforts Of Two Inmates.

during the excitement of the fire near

That the prison was not destroyed

SOUND SENSE FROM jim HILL

MEL FOR RIVER.
Archbishop Ireland and Gov. John
Burke Among the
Speakers.

st. Paul. - Hon. James j. Hill,
empire builder and railway magnate,
was the principal speaker at the open
ing of the new st. Paul hotel.
Surrounded by men prominent in
every active walk of life, Mr.. Hill dis
cussed the problem of transportation
in the Northwest, with special appli-
cation to the Twin Cities. He criti-
cized the plan of constructing six
from the Twin Cities to ST. Louis, say
ing that less than a 20-foot boat was
beaten by box car every day in the
week. He referred to st. Louis, where
10 to 12-foot channel from st. Louis
to New Orleans is the regular order,
asserting that even under such condi-
tions, less than 1 per cent of the
straight business done out of that city
was carried by water.
IF we could get IA nor 18-foot
channel it might do some good, but
you might as we'll lath and plaster
the river as to dig a siX-foot channel.

the lake. They carried 5000 tons.
Soon I found that for S2S day more,
l could run boats that carried $4,000
tons. A box car will beat any ten
foot channel on earth, but when you
get fifteen-foot channel, the boxcar
is out of the running.
Speaking again of the waterways
questions, he said that deepening the
channel to 20 feet made Duluth the
largest seaport in the world and yet
the largest part of the lake business
of the freight there is handled by rail.

vantage st. Paul and Minneapolis
