St. Paul, Mimi; April 8.-Labor
candidates who showed strength in
the city primary election March '16,
are pressing their campaign for elec-
tion May a. All candidates are Non
partisan in St. Paul municipal elec-
.ions. p
The candidates representing labor
who were successful in the primaries
are William Mahoney, candidate for
mayor, and James Clancey, A. E.
Smith, Herman C. Wensel, and Julius
Emme, candidates for council. &
Mr.. Mahoney, president of the
Trades and Labor assembly, ran
ahead of other candidates for mayor
in the primaries. l.. G. Hodgson,
present mayor was second and Gil
bert Gutterson, third candidate was
eliminated.
Mr.. Mahoney, with other labor can
didates ran on a platform which de-
clared for a cleM-up of the police
department; enforcement of law; op.
position of an increase in street rail-
WAY fares; municipal ownership of
public utilities as a last resort and
favoling city improvements only when
sanctioned by taxpayers. The main
fight made by the candidates, backed
by labor, was against an organiza-
tion, said to have controlled city poll
tics for many years, known as the
"O'COnnor machine"
Mr. Hodgson, elected by large
vote at the last election, ran on his
record and did not make an especially
hard campaign.
Mr.. GuttersOn in his campaign, Op-
posed the 'sO'Connor machine" and
also opposed municipal ownership of
public utilities.
For council, Mr.. Clancy ran ahead
Of the entire ticket, and his hackers
are confident he will be reelected.
He is at present commissioner of
parks and Fairgrounds, and before
his election two years ago was presl-
dent Of ths Trades and Labor assem-.
bly,.
Mr.. Smith was defeated in his race
for. council two years ago. During the
campaign 1 claim was made by his
supporters that he was counted out"
and as the result of charges brought
by Mr.. Smith, of vote frauds in the
first precinct in the third ward, three
election officials and one politician
were sent to state prison at Still
water. 4-'

RABBIT KING
SPENDS NIGHT
IN FARGO JAIL

Fargo; April SC. w. 1Birs, presi-
dent sof the Fur and Specially Farm
ing company, charged with selling
speculative securities, consisting If
;ratiSits, in violation of the state "bluc
sky" law, was bound over to the
district court Tuesday afternoon BY
Justice J. K Bingham and spent the
night in Jail when he failed to raise
$4,000 bail. s yi
Birs did not 60 on the, stand at
the hearing held yesterday in the
district court rooms in the, county
court house, and his attorneys 'offered
no testifony in defense. Officers and
employees Of the company were on the
stand all day, under examination by
States Attorney w. C. Green.
Most of the day was spent in an
effort to learn how the company
designated the particular rabbit
named in the bill of sale that was
given to every one who purchased
one OF the animals at prices that
varied from $40 to $12.50 each. The
rabbits bought by the company were
purchased at $l.5D and 81 each. r.
Van Wie,l secretary and treasurer Of
tie company testified Neither he
nor any one else connected with the
company on the stand yesterday was
able to tell how many rabbits the
company owned.
( C. A. Anderson, sales manager Of
the company during part of March,
said that while he had bought a
rabbit and in "2o or 80 days" had got
a dividend Of $50 on his $40 purchase,
he did not know whether rabbit
had been designated as his, or
whether IL had. given birth to young,
If one had been set aside as his,
Or how his dividend had been arrived
1t. Anderson had been served with
a subpoena to bring the records IF
the company into the court, but said
he was unable to find them. The
only records of the company pro-
duced was letterN files brought into
court by Van Vie. 1t was from these
files and Van Wie's testimony that
the information was produced that
he company paid $1:50 to 50 each
for the rabbits. A check for $50
in payment for 100 rabits from the
Kansas City Bird house was pro
duced.

PETTY GAMBLING | |.
BY AUTHORITIES E
State Licensing Department
Will Attempt to Curb
Spreading Evil

Drastic steps are to be taken by
the state licensing department to
combat the spreading use Of petty
gambling devices in poOlroOms and
similar places, according to announce
ment made today by Earl H. Toste-
vim, head of the licensing department.
A special drive will be made against
wholesale grocery companies and
their statesmen handling these devices.
All charges, Mr.. Tostevin said, will
be made under the swindling act and
not the gambling law. The former
provides for maximum penalty of
one year in the penitentiary and a
$500 fine for conviction.
Heretofore this department has
been satisfied in most instances With
confiscating these petty gambling de-
vices such as punch boards slot ma
chimes with prices and similar con
trivances," said Mr.. Tosteyin. I'VE
have found that this has not produced
the desired result SO we will now con-
centrate our efforts on convictions, as
we'll as confscati0ns."
