HIGH PRICE OF A FEED.
X Is the Cause of Commotion Among
/ Democrats.

Washington, d. c., December 2S.--
Pure and unadulterated JeffersOnian
democrats hereabouts are consider
ably wrought up over the prepare
tons for the Jackson day banquet
to be given to the democracy of the
nation in Baltimore on January IT,
The principal cause of the excite
ment is the price of the dinner per
plate, which has been fixed at SIS.
The radicals are convinced that
the price furnishes conclusive proof
that the organization of their party
is about to be captured-if it has
not been already-by the luxury low
ing democrats Of the effete east.
If it had not been, they say, the
price would have been 81, the ad.
mission charge to all the Jacksonian
and Jeffersonian dinners that have
celebrated the control of the party
by the horny handed west.
At the Baltimore feast there are
not only to be terrapin and wines,
but two kinds of champagne.
This struggle between the radicals
and the conservatives in the party is
a serious subject. The fight is on
and it remains to be seen which one
triumphs in the control of the ma
chinery which will grind out the can
didate of. 1912.

BIDS FOR BRIDGE OVER

PROPOSALS RAN CLOSE. TO TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Mankato Concerns Among Those
That Seek the Big Work; Sew.
eraI From Minneapolis; Also
Number of Iowa Builders Are On
Hand; Property Owners in Vi
cinity Are Greatly Interested.

The county board this forenoon
opened bids for the construction OF
n bridge over the LeSueur river at
Red Jacket. Bids were received on
erecting Il steel bridge with con-
crete piers, floor and abutments, on
plans prepared by County Surveyor
Brooks, and on a reinforced concrete
bridge on plans to be submitted by
the bidders. Mr.. Brooks estimate
on n steel bridge according to his
plans was $4,000, and the bids ran
very close to his estimate. The bids
for Il reinforced concrete bridge were
so near to those for a steel bridge
that it is thought that the county
board is likely to have this kind OF
q bridge built, if satisfactory plans
have been submitted. The only OBJ
lection advanced is that the arches
take up more Of the waterway than
piers would, and as the ground is
fiat il would make q longer bridge.
