ed.
Senator eastman and the democrats

F. B. Lynch, national commit eman

that patronage matters will be handled
fairly by MI. Lynch. The national
committeeman has at all times sought
the advice of party leaders before
making recommendations. It is be-

The Herald has advocated the wild
ening Of the sled guage so as to con-
form with that of the wagon, and we
are pleased to see others taking the
matter up. The Pierz Journal says:
Our sleds ought to be made the same
width as our buggies and wagons. The
narrow sleds were good enough during
the times when we had to dodge our
way in and out from among the
stumps gathering cordwood, etc., but
they seem to be out of date at the
present time. If sleds were made the
same width as wagons, the change
from sleig hing to wheeling in the
spring, and from wheeling to sleigh:ng
in the fall would be easier. And if
sleds were widened to the width Of
wagons, automobiles might be used
now and then during the times Of deep
snow.

POLITICAL LETTER

St. Paul, March "a, 1913.
Henry Rines, speaker of the house,
is casting envious eyes upon the state
auditors office. There may be some
connection between his ambition to
succeed 8. G.. Iverson, the present in
cumbent, and the action Of the house
committee on public accounts and ex-
penditures in summoning A. w.
Thompson of Preston, former deputy
state auditor and late political bed
fellow of the state auditor.
Mr.. Thompson was notified by Mr..
1verson that his resignation was In
order and Claude Brown was promptly
promoted. This change took place after
the Duluth convention where Mr.. LIVER
son had the fight Of his life to defeat
Odin Halden. Mr.. Thompson says he
went up there and spent his own money
like water to nominate Iverson. Since
then he has posed as the victim of base
ingratitude.
Mr.. Rines, however, is not overlook
-: ing any bets in building his political
future. If he can gather in disgruntled
former employees Of the office to
create political capital, he is going to
do it. Mr.. Thompson told things upon
the stand which sound bad for Mr..
Iverson and argued that the time has
come for change in that office where
Mr.. Iverson has been in some capacity
ever since he reached his political and
legal majority. NJ. g
Mr.. Thompson charges that the steel
trust dominates the state auditors Of
flee and that Mr.. Brown while in the
employ Of the state accepted a com
mission to do certain work for the steel
trust. He also complains over the fact
that Mr.. Iverson employs his sister al
his confidential secretary. Last and not
least, Mr.. Thompson breathing ven
gence from every pore and he is 8
big man and has many Of them through
which to breathe, declares that he hal
more on tap and if he tells all he will
make Mr.. Iverson look sslike the crav
en- hireling Of predatory wealth. ;

strong that n movement is now OIL foot
to secure franchise in the Empire State
league. All the money necessary to Sc
cure and equip suitable grounds, secure
players and finance the team through tne
season has been pledged by leading busi-
ness men OF she city.
Representatives will be sent to tie
meeting of the Empire State league with
full authority and ample funds to meet
all requirements OF the league and Sc
cure franchise if possible. 1t is ru-
mored that one of the towns now in the
league will ,lrop out another season. IN
this event Dothar hopes to secure this
franchise. There liz some talk of making,
the Empire an eight team circuit. In
this event Dothan will make a strong
effort to get one of the new places.
Dothan is good ball town and people
in nearby towns would. be greatly inter-
ested in league ball here. On account OF
excellent railroad schedules and 1; splen-
did system Of good roads 1t is felt that
as many people from nearby towns would
attend the games as local fans There
is no doubt that Dothan would have az
good attendance as any town In the cir
