HE'S THE Who'll WORKS

An exchange prints little story, clipped
from an unknown source, which is very good
and perhaps very old. Anyway it's worth
repeating.
1t concerns an Omaha jobbing house and
a customer merchant in a small Iowa town.
A shipment of goods received by the custom
er was rejected as unsatisfactory.
The jobber prepared to institute suit for
collection, and wrote to the railroad agent at
the village for information about the arrival
of the merchandise; to the president of the
bank for information concerning the fnan-
cial standing Of their customer; to the mayor
of the city asking him to recommend good
lawyer to handle their case; and to the mer-
chant himself, threatening suit, if he did not
make payment at once.
All the desired information came in a
single letter, as follows:
81 received your letter telling me had
better pay up.
81 am railroad agent here and received
the letter you wrote the agent
81 am president and sole owner of the
local bank and can assure you of my financial
standing.
GAS the mayor of the city, hesitate to
refer you to lawyer, since l am the only
member of the bar in this vicinity.

FORCES OF AL SMITH VICTORIOUS

The self-styled "regulars' of the state
Democracy were given a severe jolt Monday
when the jumpers" stole the show by nom
mating Attorney Regain, of Mankato as the
party's candidate for Governor, defeating
DR.. VaDyke, of St. Paul, formerly of Alex
andria.
The row started at the state convel-
tion when the forces of AL Smith were given
the well known gate" by those in charge of
the convention. Delegates favorable to
Franklin Roosevelt were selected
The result of Mondays primaries have
given the jumpers" additional heart and
they will storm the Chicago convention US
ing the vote at Mondays primaries as evil
dence, and claim that the Roosevelt delegates
do not represent the party sentiment of the
North Star state. They will demand that
they be seated instead.
When Mr.. Regain and his colleagues ad-
dressed a small meeting at Sank Centre last
week he stated his group stood squarely back
of the candidacy of AL Smith, and the repeal
of the 18th amendment.
While the Minnesota Jumpers may
not get very far at next weeks Chicago con-
vention, they will add to the gayety of the
occasion, which is already surcharged with
scraps galore.
