And Hanna, Munsey and Finn gave
$439,513 to the Roosevelt fund. It is
assumed that Perkins belongs in their
class, and If so, these four men con-
tributed 100000 out Of the $4,000
so Tar accounted for to make Roose-
Welt president. Why?
Finally, it is to be said that the tes-
timony of these men is conclusive

Very time that La Toilette was sup
posed to be the progressive candidate.
The demand was that La Toilette de-
ce1ved and betrayed the people by be-
coming mere cover for Roosevelt's
cand1dacy-which would not have
been avowed had the deal gone
through. But the Wisconsin man re-
fused, and SO the Roosevelt people
had to come out into the open.

In each fatal accident the cars were

that they were not brought to a COM

Arguments Were Amusing
The arguments of some of the Du.
luth aldermen against the ordinance
were somewhat amusing. One alder
man stated that he was against the
ordinance because it was not drawn
properly, and when the friends of
the ordinance attempted to put it in
proper shape, he voted against every
favorable amendment as he did
against the final passage of the ordi-
nance.
The crowd became impatient at the
many subterfuges resorted to by the
members of the council who attempted
to explain their position and threats
OF the recall were frequently made.
Several Democratic members of the
council who heretofore have rro-
fessed great friendship for the work
ingmen,. voted with the opponents of
labor against the ordinance No man

ton. He has been a consistent op-
ponent of almost everything the

years. His position was known in.

his consistency, although they may
have no sympathy with his judy
ment.
Hicken Might Be Forgiven

for his vote against the ordinance be-
cause he was not selected by the

the very purpose of the ordinance.
Alderman Hoar's sproposition was in
troduced as measure in the inter-
est of public safety, and If the Hogan
rider had been added to the ordi-
nance 1t would have said that it is
dangerous to run a street car when
there Is no strike, and motormen
must then be examined as to their
competency, but it is not dangerous
to run street car during a. strike.
and therefore the street railway COM
pany may be given the privilege OF
employing any old kind of motormen
so long as the cars are kept in opera
ton
The council chamber was packed
to the doors with workingmen. The
radical Socialist was there with his
class-conscious philosophy. The con-
servatfve trade unionist was also
there and both united in demanding
OF the members of the city council
that they serve the greatest number
and pass the ordinance in the inter-
est OF the safety Of the general public.
Cards Stacked Against Men
However, it would have made no
adherence If every citizen OF Duluth
was present. No ordinance licensing
motormen would have been passed
by the aldermen. The cards were
stacked against the men for the COM
pany several hours before the meet
ing was called. Every alderman in
the city was button-holed by "men
or influence" who did not have the
courage to come out in the open and
meet the issue like men.
Alderman Hogan would not hermit
OF fair consideration Of his amend
ments, nor would he concede to the
friends of the ordinance the right
usually accorded in such cases of q
DIVISION vote on each of his proposed
amendments SO that the aldermen
might go on record on every propo-
s1t1on and have the good features of
the ordinance separated from it's bad
features.
The matter will be considered bv
the council at its next meeting. Tn
the meantime an effort is being made
oy the friends of the ordinance to
get 1t amended in proper shape and
each alderman will be requested to
vote on the question upon it's merits
and not because he is influenced by
men and interests who should not be
concerned in the consideration of anv
such legislative measure.
Human Life Jeopardized
The opponents of the ordinance de-
clare there is no necessity for it's
passage. They seem to want a DEM
onstration that life and property is
unsafe because of the fact that in
competent and imprudent motormen
are in charge Of street cars. Pray,
how many people will it be necessary
to kill to make it manifest that hu-

AT THE LYCEUM
THE LITTLEsT REBEL
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY

Mr.. Farnum in THE Littlest Rebel"
Will be presented under the direction
OF A. II. Woods, at the Lyceum thea
ter two nights, November 5 and 6.
This play was written by Edward
Peple and is q civil war drama hand
led IN happy, ever pleasing manner,
with no effort to treat of rights or
wrongs of the great struggle, but a.
play which its only mission is to pro-
vide a background for a pretty story,
filled with human touch and strains
OF gentleness that warns the heart.
The play is a true reflection of the
distress, the dangers and sufferings
that beset the southern cause towards
the end of the struggle between the
north and the south, and vivid
picture of the days when more than
ever before did patriotism and brav-
cry animate the conflicting forces.
A family Of three, father, mother,
and their little daughter. Virgie, con-
Germ the story upon which 1.-THE Lit
tlest Rebel" is built: The father is
devout follower of the Southern
cause, is an army scout and a Jealous
worker in that hot bed of war that
centered the vicinity of Richmond to-
wards the close Of the civil struggle.
often does the scout return to his
home, which, however, is finally
burned by Union soldiers.
The mother dies and then the lit
tie girl Is left alone In rough cabin
by the mountain side to exist as best
she can on berries and acorn bread,
except for such times when her father
can seek her out, disregarding the
dangers that surround him when he
steals through the Northern lines to
bring his little child nourishing food.
1t Is on one Of these visits that the
scout is pursued by detail of Union
soldiers, and on their approach to
the cabin he warns his little girl to
tell them that he has gone; whereup-
on he hides in the loft. The door is
battered down by the soldier, who,
instead of the dangerous scout they
have been pursuing, find little lone
ly girl playing with a rag doll. It is
not long, however, before the pres
ence fthe father is discovered, and
he is in imminent peril Of being shot.
SO effectively does the little girl
plead, though, and so pitiful is the
plight of the father, that the COM
handing officer of the Union forces,
Lieut.. COL Morrison, allows him to
escape. Later in the day there is O.
brisk skirnish between the Northern
and Southern forces, and In it the
captor and captive are betrayed.
There Is a court martial and the
Northern officer is sentenced to be
shot as traitor and the Southern
scout as spy. But again Virgie, the
littlest rebel, comes to the rescue and
softens the heart Of General Grant
himself-and so moves the play to
a happy ending. Mr.. Farnum is sup
ported by a cast of rare excellence

weeks before Roosevelt formally an
nounced his candidacy. Clifford Pin
chot insisted that the Brown-Hanna
deal be made, and later opposed the
Endorsement of La Toilette by the
OHIO progressives, unless his name
was coupled with that of Roosevelt.
Very early In the year La Toilette had
assurances of support from William
Allen White, of Kansas, yet a few
days later White printed in his paper
an editorial entitled Roosevelt or
Bust" The day following Munsey, of
the steel trust, printed in big type on
the front page of his papers signed
editorial in which he said:
Munsey Gets On Job.
Situated as he is, my guess is that
Mr.. Roosevelt is quite content to let
political matters shape themselves up
as they will. If no call comes to him
to lead the fight he will keep right
on having good time with his work,
as he Is now doing. But If the call
does come he will buckle on his armor
and go to it, with all his old-time
energy and impetuosity.
: AS. the call did not come, it was ne
cessary to continue the plotting,
Roosevelt was overwhelmingly beaten
by La Toilette in the North Dakota
primaries. He was coldly received in
Boston. It was soon proved that it
would be necessary for him to make
an aggressive campaign for the nomi-
nation. So from February rs, when
he announced his candidacy, up till
the day of the Republican convention,
he fought and fought. hard for what
he said he would accept" if it were
rendered" to him.
But the thing that is chiefly inter-
esting is that practically all the
Roosevelt leaders were working for
Roosevelt. and giving money to his
cause, at, the very time that they were
supposed to be favorable to La Fol-
lette. This was true Of Munsey.
Early In the year Perkins and Roose-
welt were holding private conferences.

which he said that he was for Roose-
welt because they looked at public
