s. A. Stockwell of Minneapolis has
brother in Anoka. In consideration
services by the Minneapolis Stock
III to Mr.. Lynch, including helping
- prevent roll call in the Hennepin
unity delegation at the Duluth con-
ntion last year, Stockwell's Anoka
other has been appointed postmaster
Anoka, contrary to the wish of the
mocratic workers in Anoka county.
hen asked to contribute to the cam
ign last year, the Anoka gentleman
attributed the splendid sum of rs
nts. It is said that the democratic
anty chairman told the collector to
urn it. However, this is only by
way. We know men who in Civ
quarter would be taking it out
seanty hard-earned wages, and we
ow men who have done it. 1t was
because of the quarter that the
loka lob went to Stockwell's broth
but because Stockwell had forgot
4 a creditable past and become
tellite of Lynch. So that It appears
al if ones brother is willing to fore
his beliefs in order to serve Lynch,
may expect to be postmaster, ana
not, well -. It seems that
inch told Anoka delegations that he
uld stand by the wishes Of the
mocrats. All the county committee
{ one favored someone else than
! man finally chosen, and petitions
: were circulated, when all the
IA the job had been promised on
connt; of favors done in Hennepln
-,,ntv and at the Duluth convention.
e Anoka people were led to be-
we that they could present facts
,t;tions, etc, which would be con-
aered. AS a matter Of fact they
90 deceived and made goats. It's
IL s story and the end will come
On. Possibly there will
IA change after a while, and we

attic organization in this state VIII.
