constitution gives us these rights, but
the finehotian demand is that the fed

sites are located, should be withdrawn
and leased for the profit and at the

There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the position taken by
those who advocate home control OF
our great resources. From time inn
memorial there has been struggle
between the people. on the one hand
and the reigning power of the financial
interests on the other as TO who shall
control our local affairs and resources.
This IS the same fight over again. The
people of the west believe they are
competent and qualified and should
have complete jurisdiction over mat

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 21.-The in
surgent cause in Minnesota made
great strides yesterday when James
A. Tawney, of the First district was
defeated for denomination. While
early today Tawney's managers would
not admit defeat, they conceded the
prospects were dark and that Sidney
Anderson had lead of sixteen hun
dred votes with about one third of the
returns in. Anderson claims the NOM
ination by plurality of two thous-
and. Congressman F. c. Stevens who
calls himself progressive republican
and supporter Of Roosevelt policies,
had hard fight but won out with a
plurality of about fifteen hundred over
H. 7. Halbert, a radical insurgent.
Other Minnesota republican members
and w. s. Hammond, the one demo-
cratic member, were all renominated
by safe margins.

corner Of North First street and Table

who were summoned to the scene By
warning from the neighbors. The

to the sheriff to have an investigation
made with the result of finding the
young woman dead.
The sheriff summoned a coroners
jury and an investigation into the
case was started Nothing sensation
al developed at the session last night
but the coroner resumed the inquiry
at nine o'clock this morning. The
officers would not assert their sus-

the girl died from the effects Of an
unfortunate circumstance.
