Paul, located on the south side Of the
Mississippi river. The town is, to all
intents and purposes, a part Of TIE
Capital City, though in another coun-
ty.
According to statements credited to
Representative Spooner of Morris who
is putting in a considerable portion of
his time in the Twin Cities these days,
he has in preparation a number OF
bills that will make several state de-
partments sit up and take notice when
they are introduced at the coming
session of the legislature. One of the
departments is the state railway and
warehouse commission, another is the
public examiners office, and still an
other is the department of banking.
In a previous letter l mentioned the
activities of the hackers of the Non
partisan league, which has swept
North Dakota off its feet and is now
trying to pocket Minnesota. Their
work to date has been confined TO the
counties in the Red River valley. Dis
cussing the movement with one Of the
leaders of the league, he adnhitted
that success, as far as Minnesota was
concerned, was not any too bright, but
as every voter enrolled meant more
money for the league, organizers
would be kept at work until the finish.
He gave the league an existenfe OF
about seven years. 1t had absorbed
the Progressive party in North Da-
kota, he said, and its natural end
would be absorption by some other
party or movement.
A Southern Minnesota paper is /
booming Governor Burnquist as the
logical successor of United States Sem
ator Nelson, who, it is said, will retire
to private life with the close of his
present term. His excellency would
fill the place with credit to himself
and the state, but unfortunately he is
located geographically wrong. 1t is
hardly possible that the country would |
stand for two United States senators
from St. Paul.
United States Senator Nelson is of |
the opinion that Minnesota was not |
provided for in the distribu-
ton of the federal road aid appropria-
ton and has promised his help if Min
nesota will file protest. AS its share
received about $15O,OOO.
Senator Nelson thinks Minnesota is |
entitled to larger amount.
Along with short cereal crop, Min
nesota is due to see shortage in po-
.atoes. This is the news brought to |
the state immigration department and
It is backed by statements from grow
ers, who say the crop in some Sec
ions is almost failure.
Senator William Campbell of Hen
nepin county proposes statewide
to save the statewide pri-
mary. He regards the fight being |
e, ade on the law as blow at the
rights of the people. No matter what
Senator Campbell thinks there is go
ing to be an attempt made at the next |
session of the legislature to amend
the law and it is going to have the
backing of many influential men and
newspapers.
An effort is shortly to be made to
put St. Louis county in the dry col
umn. A petition is being prepared for
the calling of special election. Du-
luth voted dry at the recent primaries
and those interested in the dry move
ment believe the prohibition feature
can be extended to the entire county. |

Reaction had set in He was faint
weak. spent. The walls seemed TO
dance crafty around him. Tn" figures
OF the three anxious women were
vague and blurred to his dazed vision
Max felt himself lifted, with little
help from himself. to his feet He stag
gered down the stairs, upheld on either
side by Mrs Travis and Mary. Then
as he sank into a deep leathern chair
in the library. he let his weary senses
slim from him. All but unconscious. he
let Mary battle his cut head.
In a few minutes he opened his eyes
and sat up straight. still somewhat
weak and shaky, but himself again.
And then he noticed that June was
standing above him once more, look
ing down at his haggard face with all
her soul In her big eyes The girl had
changed from her riding suit TO
pretty house gown.
The sight of her brought pck to
Max the purpose Of his visit to the
Travis house that day-a purpose that
his life-and death grapple with "Smil

tarily from his mind.
He found 1t strangely hard to say tC
June what he had come to say. He
loved her-loved her more than every
thing else in all the world. And sh'

Eagan's hands. But for her interior
ence, Eagan's knife must unquestlon
ably have found his heart. She ha
risked a blow from that knife to war
him; to swing him aside out OF dar
ger.

tenn the small merchant and shop men

yoring the reelection of President

Endorsing my circular letter, quoting
him as favoring President Wilson. Mr.,
Ford says in the letter just received
by me that I am at liberty to use his

81 have the authority of Governor
elect Hugh NJ Dorsey to announce
that he has sent in his check to aid
the campaign fund, and he accompa-
les it with his best wishes for the
success of the party and urges the
