Opera House If the fact did not seem to JUS
tify a week (outside of the season, so that
there could be no complaint from the many
subscribers who think that the lyric drama

told that the success Of the so-called

the dramas were so widely distributed. II
seems that large proportion OF the audi

scarcely spend a week in New York simply
to hear the dramas of THE Ring In such
close sequence as ought TO prevail for the
sake Of their best effect. It seems that
Bayreuth conditions cannot yet be estab-

this respect have been gratifying. Per-

a twofold demonstration Of the fact), and
where London was in the days of Handel,

their preferences by the disposition Of
beauty spots upon their faces. Caffarelli

idea are Eberhart, OF Minnesota; Po-

Blease, of South Carolina; Goldborough,
of Maryland, and Mann, of Virginia.
The president in his letter to the
governors said the question of CO.
operative credit for farmers at inter
est rates equal to those paid by CAPT

and suggested that the governors in
their conference at Richmond, Va,

AGAINST BYRNE
Railroads Oppose Republican
Nominee for Governor On
His Railroad Record.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 24.-Ex-Senator
Pettigrew was asked il he has seen ex-
Governor Lees statement declaring
that the railroad interests were hehind
the Johnson candidacy. He replied
that he had seen the statement made
by Governor Lee, and that he knew
of his w knowledge that the state
ment thus made was true.
johnson sought the support of the
railroads in the primary contest" said
Mr.. Pettigrew, land was earnestly
supported by the officers ana employees
of the Northwestern road throughout
this state. / talked with high officials
of the Northwestern road, who told
me they were assisting johnson in
the primary contest because they be-
lieved that he was the safest man in
the field.
"'The Chicago, Milwaukee q st.
Paul railroad supported Egsn in the
primary contest. So that enc of the
great railroads supported the demo-
cratic and the other the republican
candidate. But Immediately after
Egan failed to secure the republican
nomination and Mr.. johnson secured
the democratic nomination, both the
Northwestern and Milwaukee roads
united in the support of Mr.. johnson
for governor. And, strange to relate,
Egan also has joined with the two
railroads in his active support of John
son.
Nov what the combination is the
people of this state ought easily to un.
derstand. Mr.. Johnson is safe, the
railroads will secure the legislation
that they desire. Johnson is safe. He
will ASSET in keeping down the taxes
on railroad property. l make this
statement with the full knowledge of
the facts in the case. Prominent
officials of these roads have more than
once urged me to support johnson and
gave as a reason that he was friendly
to the roads.
And when / asked them what was
the matter with Mr.. Byrne, the re-
publican candidate for governor, they
said he introduced and helped TO pass
laws which were irritating to the
railroads. This lead me to look up
Mr.. Byrne's record, and found that
Mr.. Byrne as a member of the legis-
lature had introduced the anti pass
law, which is SO effective that it has
stopped the practice of corrupting the
voters of this state with free transpor-
