STANDARD CASE BATTLING.
Minnesota Supreme Court Up Against
Hard Proposition.

st. Paul. - The Minnesota SUI
preme court has thrown up it's
hands in the presence of the Difficult:
ties connected with Standard Oil liti-
cation. The efforts of the state to-
prevent discrimination in prices, re-
sulting in supreme court action to
GUST the Standard from Minnesota, has
resulted in tangle which is too much
for the justices. They have, upon
their own motion, ordered a reargu--
ment of the case, which will be heard
April Z.
This action, which has become
celebrated one in Minnesota, was
brought under the provisions of the
anti-discriminatory act found in Chap
ter Five of the General Laws of 1907.
Its purpose was to prevent the crush
ing of local Independent oil companies
by the Standard. It was alleged that
the company would sell oil for GER
tain price in one city and lower or
raise the rate in another merely for
the purpose of sitting competition.
Under the administration of former
Attorney General Young an action
was brought against the Standard to
prevent them from doing business in
the state.
Should the contention of the state
be maintained by the court Mr.. Rookie
feller's concern will have no right to
sell any kind of oil in Minnesota.
The supreme court has also ordered
a reargument of the Western Union
tax question involving their liability
to pay a II per cent tax.

VOTES ON LICENSE
QUESTION OF WET" or "DRY"
ENGAGES MANY TOWNS
THROUGHOUT STATE.
HON0RS BREAK ABOUT EVEN
Sentiment Hard to Gauge From Re-
suits Of the Elections.-"Wets"
and "Drys" Each Make
Gains.

Minneapolis, March 10.-Towns and
villages held elections throughout
Minnesota. In most of the towns the
issue was that of "wet" or "dry.'
The question at issue in the towns
was whether high license liquor legls-
lation should prevail, or whether alb
solute prohibition should be the rule.
The returns furnished little upon
which judgment can be based as to
the general trend of sentiment thru
out the state. For the most part, the
results show little change in senti-
ment in the towns.
The western and northwestern por-
tons of the state, for the most part.
showed a prevalence of "dry' senti-
ment, while in the central and north
eastern parts of the state, the tend
ency was to vote license.
Interest in Excelsior.
In Hennepin county, greatest inter-
est attached to the contest in Excel
sior, where the fight was spirited.
There was the largest vote here in
the history of the town, the "drys"
carrying by vote OF six.
By singular coincidence the candi-
dates supported by the "wet" faction,
with one exception, were all elected,
Indicating there is tendency in the
town to wink at possible violations Of
the law.
| The towns of some of the candidates
for office in the Republican state tick
ct showed peculiar results. Browns
Valley, the home of S. Y. Gordon, the
county option candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for lieutenant
governor, went "dry.'
Long Prairie, the home of w. E.
Lee, who has been boosted as a pos.
sible county option candidate for gov.
ernor, went "wet.'
