State Capitol News
BY A. /. HARRIS

The strategy of the Republican
party in Minnesota in the coming
campaign to recapture the state gov
eminent has become apparent from
the type of news stories appearing in
the large dailieS. 1t is to encourage
dissension within the ranks of the
Farmer-Labor party in the hope that
the wounds caused by internal strife
will prove fatal to the liberal move
ment.
With that in view, we can expect
that every encouragement pub
licity is always attractive-will be
given to any candidate who is willing
to issue statement smearing another
candidate. The game already is on.
as anybody who has been following
local political news through the
dailies must be aware.
Recently, one of the Twin Cities
dailies, in its letters to the editor
column, conducted a series of fake
correspondence in which some al
legged Farmer-Laborite undertook to
criticize what he termed party lead
ers" and another undertook a ridicu-
lous defense of these leaders. 1t
was all quite amusing, but intended
to carry out the idea that there are
'cliques" and Inner circles" and
what not in the party. They would
even have Inner circles" and brain
trusts" debating to the Governor and
telling him what to do, when every
body who knows Governor Olson even
slightly is quite aware of the fact

state Commerce Commission bearing
date of February 10, 1885, the Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission of
Minnesota is ordered to put the sur
charge rates in effect on intrastate
traffic, or, if the Commission did not
choose to do so the Interstate Com
merce Commission would declare
those rates in effect.
1.-THE Minnesota Commission pre-
scented evidence based upon the rec
ords in it's office to show that the
railroads operated cheaper in Mime
sofa than in any other state in the
Union, to which statement the rail-
roads made reply that the claim
should not be given credence because
it was worked out on basis of fig
ures submitted to the Minnesota
Commission by the railroads, and that
the railroads figures were not reli-
able.
"The Minnesota Commission has
notified the Interstate Commerce
Commission of it's intention to adhere
to it's previous order because the just
ness of the intrastate rates in Mime
sofa are established.
"The increase in the freight rates
that the shippers in Minnesota will
have to pay due to the freight sur
charge on interstate traffic is esti-
mated to be $1,479,O0O per year. The
increase in the amount of freight to
be paid on intrastate traffic due to
the emergency surcharge order of the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
estimated to be $22S.OO0, which will
mean more than $1,7O0,000 a year in
crease over what it was before the
surcharges were allowed.
"In the meantime the Interstate

Commerce Commission states that
the order of the Minnesota Commits
sion has resulted in loss to the rail-
roads Of $4,000 by the time that its
last hearing was held. This is no
loss of revenue to the railroads, but
it partakes of saving to the ship
pers of freight in Minnesota, and, at
this time the saving stands at $780,
900, or, $4,000 per month.
1.-THE only other state in the union
that has taken similar attitude.
which now refuses to put the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions order
on intrastate traffic in effect, is the
State of Georgia. Practically every
other state commission throughout
the whole country has fallen in line

that he is a man Of Independent ac-
ton and is capable of-and does
his own thinking.
The target just at this time is
Senator Elmer A. Benson. 1t is no
secret that the Republicans do not
want Senator Benson as Farmer
Labor candidate for governor-and for
very obvious reasons. They are not
at all confident of being able to beat
him. Six months ago the Old Guard
was beginning to get cocky; now they
are jittery. And it is safe to say that
they do not want Hjalmar Petersen
either. who has displayed ability as
campaigner. Political observers re-
gard them as the two strong men Of
the party for the governorship Hence
the strategy of encouraging inter-
party discord. This Republican cam
paign will be defeated, for, no mat
ter what differences of opinion there
exist between Farmer-Laborites, unity
is certain to result when the issue
becomes that of liberalism against
reaction.

The Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission has notified the
Interstate Commerce Commission that
it will adhere to it's previous order
permitting no increase in intrastate
freight rates, according to a state
ment made last week by Knud We
fald, member of the Minnesota Com
mission.
I'm the spring of 1885 the Inter-
state Commerce Commission allowed
the railroads to levy an emergency
surcharge on most classes of freight
except grain in interstate traffic."
Mr.. Wefald stated. 1.-The railroads
also made application to the various
State Railroad Commissions to be al
lowed to make this increase on intra-
state traffic. Most of the State Com
missions acceded to the request of the
railroads, but the Minnesota Commits
sion did not.

third and the county One-sixth. For
example, if the total grants for old

OWENS SAILS FOR
 US. DESPITE

Southampton, Eng, Aug lo-(UP) Jesse Owens, Americas negro Olympic triple" winner, sails for the United States aboard the Queen Mary today to consider offers to turn professional.
 When the liner puts of, Owens will automatically be suspended by the A.A.U. Jesse had been sched- uled to appear in a track meet ct Stockholm. Sweden, opening today.
 But on Sunday he decided to re- turn home and capitalize on his athletic prowess. That decision brought word from Americas ath- letic officials in Berlin that should Owens not go to Sweden he auto- matically would be suspended from the A. A. U.
 Owens has not yet turned pro- fessional and still is an amateur athlete. His status as an amateur athlete at Ohio State college rec mains unchanged.

Today's Sport Parade
By Henry McLemore United Press Stan COrreSpOndentl

Berlin. Aug. ls,-(Upl-There is but one sensible nominee for the James Sullivan memorial award for 1886 and that one is Jesse Owens, the midnight flyer from Ohio"
 He stands so far ahead of all other American athletes In the way of achievement for the year that there Is no second, And there cannot he Q question as to his sportsmanship or character. No winner of the award-and the list includes Bobby Jones, Barney Berlinger, Jim Buasch Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bonthron and Lawson Little-ever dominated his field more cleanly or wore his laurels more modeStly than the col- ored Ohio sprinter,
 His superb performance in the OlympicS-the owens Olympics" as the Germans termed it-make him . natural selection for the highest award in American sport, His four gold medals would he enough to earn him Q unanimous vote, but Owens did more than that, Even more important than his feat of ty- ing or breaking an Olympic record in lS of his l6 appearances on the track or at the jumping pit, was the manner in which he completely won over to his side the crowd which at the start of the games resented even his appearance in the stadium.
 Germany, under the oral laShings of Adolf Hitler and Josef Paul 0oeh. helS, has been driven to believe that Morales, and Morales alone, count, Before tho games started German papers carried editorials In which they pointed out that while some of the blacks" on the American team might win, German athletes who were beaten by them should not be downeast or disappointed, for 1t was the same as belng beaten by animals,
 Then Owens started running. I'll never forget his first appearance in the opening heat of the 100 meters sprint. He had not covered more than 30 meters when the tremen. dous crowd of nearly 100000, thrilled by his burning speed and perfect form, shook the stadium with It's applause. Behind him, hopeleSsly beaten, were Q half dozen Morales, but the Germans forgot their lessons in the excitement of watching Q champion.
 From that first race the crowd was his-eompletely his,
 How thoroughly they appreciated him was never better shown than in the finals of broad jump. Late in the competition the German, Luz Long, produced the most prodigious leap of his career to tie owens. When Longs jump was announced, the crowd was beside itself with joy, which was natural, for out of Q clear sky had come Q man-and Q Ger mAn-to do something which no competitor of any other nation had been able to do-gain c tie with the super athlete"
 Then Owens walked to the start of the jumping runway and poised himself for his final effort. The cheering stopped abruptly. Jesse had not waved his hands for silence, Those 100000 accorded it without request. And when he sailed into the air to land we'll past Longs mark. the cheering surpassed even that which had greeted the German athletes jump.
 Of all the athletes who were mobbed with autograph books and
