COLE BEAT JOHNSON? POLITICIANS NOT AGREED « Continued from page'l column 7 Pioneer representative. Of course, this sentiment is not shared by everyone; in fact, it might be said that it is held.by the large minority. The more prominent of therepublican lead- ers declare that they look for a Cole victory. That no democrat in the state, be he ever so popular, can win enough republican votes to carry him into the governor’s office this fall. Cole will unite all factions, they say, Dunn men and Collins men, Jacobson men and Block men and Stephens men and all the others who had favorites at the Daluth convention. This claim of being able to gather in all the votes that would have gone to the other candidates if they had been nominated (leav- HOW BELTRAMI VOTED: Governor, Lieut. Govi Auditor,... ... Secretary of State, Treasurer, Cole 10, Stephens 1 ing nationality outof the question) seems to be well founded. It was the Block men that started the stampede to Cole, and the Stephens, Lord, Somerville and Diment followings were not slow in getting on the band wag- on. Only the men who bad come to nominate “Jake” held fast. So then, if there is any sore- ness it should be among the Ja- cobson following. But the sup- porters of the Lac Qui Parle man are not sore. At least they do not show signs of it. They would rather have elected Jacobson, quite naturally, but if the state- ment of some of the leaders may be believed, Cole was their second choice. Jacobson, himself, struck the keynote in his speach to the con- trouble, Charley Cheney of the Minneaplis Journal, Mary Mec- Fadden of the Duluth News Tri- bune-and se/eral others even came out with signed interviews * © JACUB F. JACOBSON, along those lines in the News Tribune Wednesday morning. But the opposition did get to- gether., Block started it by cast- ing the bulk of the Hennepin dele- gation to the Walker man and then the “stuff was all off.” The opposition had been laying low and waiting until there were evi- dences of a stampede to Jacobson, and when it came on the third formal ballot, they let loose with their artillery. * * * While Cole’s campaign for the last month or two has been second only to that of Jacob- son’s in fierceness, he made little noise or demonstratiou the day of the convention or the day before. He had no band out and his followers had apparently given up shouting. Jacobson, on the other hand, made sufficient noise to stampede a herd of deaf cattle. He knew that he did not have enough delegates of his own to win, and that his only hope was to bring over a hundred or so of the unpledged votes by an energetic bandwagon demonstra- tion, Everywhere about the hatels it was “Jacobson will win, climb on the wagon before it is too late.” At the hall when the vot- ing started the Jacobson men k SAMUEL LORD. ventien at the opening of the afternoon session. “I have absolutely no * for what has taken place today,” he declared. “A man wlois ca- pable of beating me in any kind of a fight is entitled to my admi- ration. A man who can do that will make a good governor of any state. Wehave got through with -our little contest and now we are going into this campaign united- ly and to lick the enemy.” . * % One of the amusing features of regrets began to applaud every county that cast its vote for their candi- date and this was enly stopped by the vigorous interference of the chairman. The Cole following, also, was not backward in making a dem- onstration when the voting be- gan, however quiet it may have been before. The chairman pcunded with his gavel, but fre- quent handclapping and shouts of approval were smuggled in notwithstanding, = When the landslide began there was no holding the crowd in restraint. Men rose in their chairs and shouted and waved their hats. PR % % George Markham of Bemidji was the youngest delegate to the convention and was one of the best ones, at that. He broke in- tto the spo-tlight when the fight the convention was the way the *‘dope. went - wrong.” Jacobson stock was guing up by leaps and bounds the last two days before the meeting and all the big city papers were predicting his nomi nation on the first or second or GEORGE W. SOMERVILLE. the third ballot at the very latest. The twin city and the Duluth re- porters had it all figured out that ‘the opposition to Jacobson was not going to be able to get to- gether and that in consequence Jake would go in without much for treasurer began by nominat- ing Julius Block for that office, and the chairman made him blush (or did he blush?) by calling him the good looking young man from Beltrami when he arose to get the recognition of the chair. S % " The Beltram: delegation held a caucus Tuesday to get some idea of the line-up on governor. The vote showed eight men for Cole and three for Stephens. Then the Cole men got busy and before the convention opened two of the Stephens supporters had been won over, AFTERNOON SESSION WAS FULL OF THRILLS Duluth, June 14.—The conven- tion adjourned immediately after the nomination of Mr. Cole and was called to order again at 3:30, The successful nominee made his entrance into the hall a few minutes before the chairman’s gavel called the meeting to order and was greeted by a hearty round of applause. ‘He was ushered onto the stage and when introduced to the as- sembly drew forth a flattering demonstration. He made a shorf, speech along the “lines of har- 'mony that showed he intends to gointo win and unite all the warring factions. = - When Cole finished a loud cry was raised for Jacobson and the sturdy, sunburned man from Lac Qui Parle stepped onto the stage while the convention rent the air with cheers and loud ap- plause. X The most interesting portion of his speech is quoted else- where. The contest for lientenant gov- ernor failed to develop any sen- sational features. ‘A. E. Eber- hardt of Mankato, W. S, Dwin- nell of Hennepin and W. A. Nolan of Grand Meadow were placed in nomination and after a few jcounties had been called Hennepin withdréew the name of Dwinnell, leaving a clear field to the other candidates. ‘The final ballot showed Eberhardt 633 and Nolan 445. Beltrami county voted tor the winner, as did Clearwater. The latter county voted first for Dwinnell, how- ever,and changed when his name was withdrawn, The most-spirited fight of the convention aside from that in- volving the gubernatorial nomi- nation, was that over state audi- tor. Duluth has been pushing the candidacy of Odin Halden with great energy since he come A, D. STEPHENS, out with an announcement and Samuel G. Iverson, until the last minute confident of no opposi- tion, awoke suddenly to the situ- ation to wage a fierce though short campaign. Hennepin and St. Louis counties led the revolt against the present auditor but when the votes were counted it was found that the feeling had not spread very far beyond these three counties. Iverson received 695 votes and Halden 394. Bel- trami voted for Halden, Clear- water voted for Iversonm, while Cass split, giving Iverson 5 and Halden 4. The scramble for secretary of state did not lack interest, if a large field adds toit. Five names were presented to the convention; Julius A. Schmahl, Captain James Hunter, J. J. Lomen, | JULIUS H. 5LOCK. Swan Molander and E. A. Nelson. Schmahl has been easily in the lead from the begining andon the first ballot helacked but 101 votes of a majority, On the second ballot there was a Jandslide and the Redwood_Falis editor was given the nomination with votes totoss away. Beltrami gave its eleven votes to the winner. The final result was: Schmahl 708, Nelson 280, Lomen 47, Mo- lander 13, Hunter 46. The nom- ination of a treasurer proved a walkaway for Clarence C. Dine- hart of Slayton. There has been a wonderful amount of enthus- iasin for his cause developed all over the state, and he has been easily in the lead for three| months. Dinehart has been making some sweeping claims, but the result of the only ballot cast justified his confidence. The roll showed such an overwhelm- ing majority for the Slayton man that she chairman of the| Koerne shorha,arose and moved [ that wheLnommtlon be made by acclamatian. | The candidates be- side Dinehart were P. C. Koerner of Litchfield, and L. G. Vogel of New Ulm. Z The last three nominations of the conyention were made by ac clamation. O, A. Pidgeon, the present clerkk of the supreme court, had no mean opposition in W. T. Lemon of St. Paul, but the latter was ha.ndxcapped by the loss of Hennepin county’s ninety- nine votes, and when the roll call was over the leader of the Ramsey delegation rose and moved to make the vote un. animous. 2 Charles F. Staples for railroad and- warehouse - commissioner, and E. T. Young for attorney general, were nominated by a unanimous vote, there being no opposition. T00 LATE T0 CLASSIFY. w WANTED—A dishwasher, a chambermaid and a housekeeper at the Bringman Hotel. = A Good Dos. It is related by Professor Bell that when a friend of his was traveling abroad he one morning took out his purse to see if it contained sufficient change for a day’s jaunt he intended making. He departed from his lodg- ings, leaving a trusted dog behind. ‘When he dined he took out-hls purse to pay and found he had lost a gold coln from jt. On returning home in the evening his servant informed him that the dog seemed very lll, as they ‘could not induce him to eat anything. He went at once to his favorite, and as soon as he entered the room the falth- ful creature ran to him, deposited the gold coin at his feet and then devoured the food placed for him with great eagerness, The truth was that the gentleman had dropped the coin in the morning. The dog had picked it up and kept it ia his mouth, fearing even to eat lest he should lose his master’s property before an opportunity was af- forded him to restore it.—Chambers’ Journal. Origin of Crescent Bread. The origin of the Viennese bread shaped like a crescent, which is found in most places on the continent, dates back to the time when the Austrian capital was being besieged by the Turks under the terrible Grand Vizier Kara Mustapha, and as they failed to take the city by assault they decided to dig a passage under the walls and 50 penetrate into the town. In the day- time the noise of the siege made the sound of the tunneling inaudible, and at nighttime the defenders of the place were asleep, all but the sentries and the bakers. . It was the bakers who, as they baked the bread for the garrison, heard the pickaxes of the miners ceming nearer and nearer and gave the alarm. 1In the fighting the Rakers’ assoclation tfook their share with the utmost bravery, and as a re- syard for their services the emperor gave them permission to make a spe- cial cake shaped like the Turkish cres- cent.—London Sketch. Once a Nest of Pirates. Lundy, in the Bristol channel, is an {sland where one may see an earth- quake at any time. There I8 nothing alarming abont these “earthquakes,” however. They are sjmply certain cu- rious crevasses in the west of the is- land, which the local people call by that name. Lundy in former centuries was a notorious nest of pirates. In King Henry IIl’s time Willlam de Marisco, a traitor to the king, built a castle there and set up as an early Captain Kidd. Apd so it went on through the centuries untl} in the mid- die of the eighteenth Thomas Benson, a Barnstable merchant, who was then lessee of the island, was convicted of piracy and smuggling and expelled. He had a contract for carrying con- viets to the American colonies and used quietly te land them on Lundy and use their labor thers, The Nine In the Calendar.

Business Methods. Great numbers of vast fortunes in this country have been and are being built up on the very ignorance of the masses in regard to business methods. The schemers bank on it that It s easy to swindle people who do not know how: to protect their property. They thrive on the Ignorance of their fellows. They know that a shrewd ad- vertisement, a cunningly werded cir- cular, a hypnotic appeal, will bring the hard earnings of these unsuspect- ing people out of hiding places into their own coffers.—Success Magazine. 3 [Orlgh'm‘l S} “Doctor, I reckon yowll'have to come around and see Elle, I know you can't do anything for her, but you cheer us all up.” The doctor was pouring somethlng from a vial into a liquid contained in & test tube. His expression was not cheerful; it was serious. + “John,” he said, “you sowed the wind and are reaping the whirlwind. Your marriage was a very unwise one both for you and for Ellen. Without it she would have remained with her mother, who now lives a thousand miles away from her. As for you, the drag of a slck wife upon you has been your ruin.” “In one sense, doctor, your words are true; in another I question if they are. The great Creator has placed us in a world in which our better nature is al- ways struggling with our selfishness. If we lived here always there would be but one criterion for our judgment —success. But we know not what cri- terion will take its place in the exist- ence to come, The poet tells of a peri who gained admission to paradise by offering a tear of a repentant sinner. Well, if T am ever admitted to heaven I shall have gained my place there by a tear, though not of repentance.” The doctor held a test tube before a light and observed particles floating in a liquid it contained. The speaker ‘went on: “Before Ellen became an invalid we drifted together as other lovers drift together. At that age I held a girl as something holy, something far above what I regarded man's e nature. T remember one ever when we were ‘walking together she slipped her hand within my arm, and it seemed as if 1 had been touched by an angel from heaven. That touch alone was enough to decide my fate, “You remember how I took all the prizes in college, and you and father and the rest had great hopes for me. The career you predicted fired me with a desire for success. Then I cut a brilliant figure at the law school, and SIX months after graduation won the Springer claim in court. It put me at once at the head of the junior bar.” “I well remember,” said the doctor. “It was just at this time that Ellen met with the accident and you told me that she would be an invalid for life, I knew then all you said about her be- ing a drag on me as well as when you mention it today. I had a long strug- gle hetween the career ahead of me, hich would need a ceaseless devotion, and the care of an invalid wife, and made a clear case in favor of the for- mer. Ellen needed a mother, not a husband. It was not a case of wheth er I loved ‘the career ahead of me or her the more; it was a case of inex- orable common sense. I confess I shrank from breaking my decision to her, but, knowing it was the turning point of my life, I nerved myself by a supreme effort. “I well remember the night X called on her for the purpose. It was among the first warm days of the season, and ghe was lying on a wicker lounge on the porch. A wistaria vine hung down from above and was in bloom. From within the house came the fragrance of roses. Ellen looked up at me Joving- ly from her great flaring Invalid eyes. I maintained an inward stoicism. Aft- er a few irrelevant words I told her that I had come to announce something of deep import to us both. Beginning ‘with our duty to each other and to our- selves, I led gradually to the final an- pouncement. It would never have been possible for-me to make so able an ar- gument In court. No woman could fail to see that under her mother’s care alone could she hope for comfort. As fo the effect of our marniage on me, I drew a graphie picture of a lost career, but told her that were it best for her I would give it up in order to devote my- self to her.” The speaker ceased and there was a brief silence, “She released you?' asked the dac- tor. “She neither released nor held me. She listened without a word. I could gee at times her bosom heaving, then repressed by an internal struggle not apparent on the surface. I finished with the words, ‘I ‘shall never become reconciled to that inexorable fate which has forced us apart’ Then I waited for her reply,” The speaker paused. He was think- ing. “It was?” “A tear.” B There was a silence while the doctor was fumbling with- his test tubes. ““And your reply to it?” he asked pres- ently. “An embrace.” The doctor turned and faced his vis- itor.

Widow—He worked himself to death. trying to pay the pre- minms. They. Come In Flocks. One way o gain lots of relatives s “And you don't regret your—inde- elsion?” “No.” There was a longer pause, during which the doctor looked out of the win- dow. Then he turned and said: “John, I am, as you know, at the head of my profession in this city. But I am forced to admit that you stand in a far more eminent position.” That afternoon the doctor drove up to the home of the invalid with fruits and flowers and spent an hour enliven- ing the household, Never again did he question the ac- tion of his friend. And who shall say that the happiness of a man who was denied the world’s laurels that he might devote himself to an invalid wife was less than it would have been had he been free to win what the world calls success? When his term of service was ended he realized that he had not only chosen the better but the happler part. What was his re- ward to come, of course, no man knows. AMAZA J. BARKER.

ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS, Bishop Potter Says Friendly Feeling Is Superficial. New York, June 1i -Bishop and Mrs. Henry C. Potter have arrived on the White Star liner Celtic after a trip to Great Britain and the Con-! tinent. On the way up from Quaran-| tine the bishop talked of his experi- ence while abroad. Referring to the relationship between Great Britain and the United States he declared that there was no love lost between the two countries. This remark came when he was asked whether the beef disclosures had reached Great Britain before he left there. He replied that they had and with much amusement told of his meeting with reporters there. “Representatives of the press met me when I arrived in England,” he said, “and asked me if I would give them my impression of the insurance scandal. I replied that I would if they would print it. They agreed to do this and I said: ‘The insurance scandal amounts to this: In the United States we wash our dirty linen in publie, but in Great Britain they do 1t privately.’ I looked carefully in the papers next day, but could not find my statement.” Bishop Potter was then asked if he thought the friendly relations existing between the two countries were super- ficial. He replied; "“Yes, It 18 gush. Prosperity, you know, is not condueive to friendly re- lations.” - “Is it true that in Great Britain “ey think the Americans are graft- ers?” was asked, “The more acute thinkers,” he re- plied, “do not think we are grafters, but that we are easily tempted by gain.” DECLINES SENATORSHIP, F. D. Coburn Objects to Associating With Politicians. Topeka, Kan., June 1 -F. D. Co. burn has declined the appointment as United States senator to succeed J. R. Burton, and Governor Hoch has offered the place to Judge Alfred W, Benson of Ottawa. Mr. Coburn de- clined on the ground that he cannot afford to associate with politicians. “I have been secretary of agricu]- ture here for thirteen years and have come to love the work and the people of the state with whom I work. I have not had to mingle with politi- cians and do not want to begin now. They are repulsive to me and 1 can- not stand to have them grab me with their hands and push and haul me about while they tell me what 1 should and should not do for the sake of the party.” ICE MADE DURING FIRE, Blaze Does Not Interfere With Arti. ficial Plant. Hopkinsville, Ky., June 1T —When | sanitary regulations, the ruins of the ice factory, which, with three city squares, was de- stroyed by fire last Thursday, were examined it was found that 16,000 pounds of ice had been made during the progress of the flames.
