The following from leading men,

power behind the present move to
convene the legislature in extra ses-

Special Importance must be at

BAD TOOTH LEADS TO DEATH
E. E. Rain of Shevlin Victim Of u
cerated Molar. Say His Friends.

The death of E. E. Rain, liquor
dealer at Shevlin, in a Minneapolis
hospital a week ago, is said to have
been due to a neglected tooth. Some
time ago Mr.. Rain was troubled with
an liberated tooth but at that time
it was impossible to extract it. It
appeared to improve and as it did
not pain Mr.. Rain he ignored it un-
til his jaw became badly infected.
He then went to the city for an OPP
Grafton and half of his jaw was re-
moved but the. poison had extended
too deeply to combat. His body was
brought to Shevlin and funeral SER
vices were conducted by Rev. Dodds
of Bagley He is survived by a wife
and six children.

Knapp at once replied. The St. Paul
newspaper now has cabled Lynch
that the man to whom he wishes to
give the $4,000 has been located.
In his letter Lynch referred to the

speaker in the senate chamber and
heralded as the Demonsthenes of Min

81 am in favor of an extra session
of the state legislature and reappor-
tionment should certainly be recon-
sidered. I have not changed my
mind in that regard. The present
apportionment is now unfair and re-
apportionment we should demand un-

After having waited until the trial

Viggo Peterson. chairman of the
board Of county commissioners who
last May filed charges of nonfeasan6s
and .malfeasance in Office against
Sheriff Hazen, has addressed the fol-

"Puposky. Mimi, Oct. 20, 1911.
Hon. A. O. Eberhart, Governor of

"Dear Sir: -
"Now that the famous Dumas trial
is at an end and that Sheriff Hazen
has been permitted to reap the bene-
fits accrufng to him therefrom, I
deem it my duty to again call your
attention to. deplorable conditions
existing in this county as a result of
the mal-administration of the Office
of sheriff. 1 respectfully invite your
attention to the fact that affidavits of
prejudice are being constantly filed
against Hazen, showing that litigants
have no faith in his integrity, and
earnestly request that the petition for
the removal of the sheriff of this
county filed by me with you some
months ago be given your considera-
ton at the earliest possible moment.

It was given out from Attorney
General Simpsons Office prior to
the Dumas trial that no opinion as to
the Peterson charges would be given
on the ground that to interfere with
Sheriff Hazen would jeopardize the
Dumas prosecution. When the Du-
mas case came up an. affidavit of pref
udice was filed against Mr.. Hazen and
Coroner Ibertson assumed the duties
of the sheriff.

Only Pressure is Needed.

''In a special session, called for the
express purpose of reapportioning
the state, the attention of the entire
people of the state would be attract
ed to the issue, and such pressure
brought to bear on some OF the sena-
tors who oppose the Congdon Bill,
that they would be forced to yield.
The great mass of the people in
Southern Minnesota are fair minded,
stand for what is square and just,
and are for giving us equal repre-
sentation. Senators who oppose a
fair reapportionment will not have
public sentiment behind them, no
matter what section of the state they
represent.

As to the Cost.

''The cost of an extra session is
urged as reason for not calling it.
A fair reapportionment bill enacted
into law would be worth many times
the cost of an extra session. The
ratification of the income tax amend
ment would be worth all the session
costs. The enactment of a state wide
primary election law, a fair distance
tariff law or an increase in the rail-
road gross earnings-any of these
would be worth the cost of an. extra
session.
''In my Judgment you are doing the
people of Northern Minnesota good
service in agitating for an extra ses-
sion and sincerely wish you success
in your efforts.

To Name Some Congressman.
Practically all of the contests,
State and municipal, are on local is
sues. with no national questions in
volved. Affording an exception to
the rule, however, will be the special
elections in several congressional dis
tricts where vacancies exist by rea-
son of the death of the incumbent
since the last election. Included
among the districts where elections
will be held are the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania, the Seventh Kansas,
the Third Nebraska, the First New
Jersey, and the Tenth Tennessee.
+ Tariff Law Involved.
The chief interest of national poli-
ticians in the State elections is di-
rected toward Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island. Both are Industrial
States and are directly concerned in
the tariff, which has been brought
forward as a prominent issue in the
campaign. Governor Foss is candi-
date for reelection as governor of
| Massachusetts, on the Democratic
ticket. Louis A. rockingham, at
present lieutenant governor, is the
Republican, leaders appear conf
dent they will carry the State this
year. many observers feel more than
doubtful about the prospect, and
would not be at all surprised at the
reelection Of Governor Foss. For
the first time since the Republicans
began their long lease of power in
the Bay State, now more than fifty
years ago, their control of the legis-
lature is seriously challenged this
year.

LARGE CROWDS
AT P0CAHONTAS

Talking about big crowds, Poca-
hontas certainly had one last Tues
day. The crowd Monday was not
so small, but it was as nothing com
pared with the immense throng that
assembled the day following.
By eight o'clock Tuesday morn
ing people began coming in by the
wagon loads and by 10 o'clock the
town was filled to overlooking with
people from all over the county
The train from Hoxie brought
about 400 people and No. IL
brought twice that many. The
crowd, altogether, was one of the
largest ever assembled here, as well
as one of the most orderly. Only
one arrest was made during the en-
tire day, which fact speaks we'll fol
the people of Randolph county.
The entertainment was about the
same as is usual on occasions OF
this kind, and the people seemed tC
enjoy themselves very much.
