{ i i i AS GITY POLITIGS LOOK A WEEK BEFORE ELEGTION [Continued from First Page] the various wards are making a great fight. In the First ward the fight is be- tween William Klein and Ted Get chell. Itis hard tosay which way the wind will blow here, but friends of each participant declare that their respective candidate will be elected. E. R. Getchell, better known as ""Ted,” is perhaps leading the fight in this ward. It seems that his friends are much more enthusiastic and to predict the “dope” according to public expression, street talk and political heresay, it is hard to figure any other way then Getchell for the First ward. In the Second ward we have as aldermanic aspirants the present alderman, Tom Smart for re-election and as his opponent Thomas John- son. These two men are well known in the Second ward. Mr. Smart is perhaps the better known of the two men throughout the city and, he being the present alderman, naturally has some advant. age. It canbe said of Mr. Smart that he was, during the past admin- istration, perhaps the most regularly attentive alderman of the present council. We have as a lone candidate for alderman running in the Third ward, a thorough business man, one who has been successful in business in this city and who will no doubt make a first class alderman. Mr. K. K. Roe is entitled to the unanimous vote of the entire ward. The Fourth ward race is between George Rhea and N. W. Brown. It seems that the present alderman, George Rhea, has a big lead. Mr. Rhea has been a good alderman and his Fourth ward friends declare that they will not run a chance of a change. Mr. Brown conducts a restaurant on Minnesota avenue and is also well known is that ward. His friends apparently do not feel as enthusiastic and as confident as do Mr. Rhea’s. Judging from this point of view, Mr. Rhea should carry the ward. ““The Doper.” YOU NEED THIS. Another Stride in Protection.—The Great Eastern’s New Policy with Every Objectionable Feature Elimi- nated.—The Largest Amount of Protection Ever Offered for the Money.—$3.00 Per Year. Mr. J. C. Salisbury, of Sherburn, Minn., who has broken all insurance records here for the past five years, having written scores of our leading bankers, professional and business men, is again with us, with the Great Eastern’s NEW and REVISED policy, THAT- TODAY HAS NO EQUAL (issued on through the American Registery Company of Washington, D. C., TAKE NO OTHER.) See testimonials of the people that have been paid tor being injured right here in Minneapolis, and the promptness with which all claims were settled. To pass this by might- be something you would regret the remainder of your life; and as one of Winona’s leading physicians wisely remarked, “We should not take chances of regretting anything that we can avoid for less than one penny per day.” Don’t conflict policies sold by the American Registry Company with the so-called “Limited and Travel Policies” issued by other ‘registry companies; compare them and you will note the ~difference.—Minne- apolis Tribuue. Mr. C. W. Salisbury, son of the General Agent, is in the city look- ing after the renewals, and will call upon’ you. Falihee Wishes Jester Well. T. A. Falihee, who was at one time a resident of Houpt, in the employ of the T. M. Patridge Lum- ber company, has ‘heard of the candidacy of Al H. Jester for the republican nomination for state senator from this district. Mr. Falihee is now a resident of Nevis, in Hubbard county, and he says: “Have heard of your candidacy for state senator. I wish you well; and I only wish that I lived.in your district,so I could cast a vote for you, and get many others here- abouts to do likewise.” J. H. Flatley returned this morn- ing from a trip overland (and over the ice on Red Lake) to the Rapid river country, north of Upper Red Lake. Notice. Check number 58 dated Feb. 2. 1910. John F.

AGGUSATION AGAINST EXPRESS COMPANIES Atteiney Manahan Asserts They| ¢ Have “Yellow Dflg" Fund. New York, Feb. 7.—That the big express companies have a. “yellow dog” fund which is used for influ- encing legislation is the allegation of James Manahan, a Minneapolis lawyet who is attorney for State Senator B, E. Sundberg of Kennedy, Minn., com: plainant in the inquiry now being con- dycted in/ this city by Frank Lyons, representing the interstate commerce commission. Manahan declared that before he is through with the present inquiry some facts will be adduced regarding the manner in which the big express com- panies are conducted that will show them to be close followers of the old time insurance company methods. Manahan alleged that the big ex: press companies of the country as at present conducted are in “cahoots” to keep up rates; that they do not compete, at all but have a secret agreement by which the United States is a “melon to be divided” and that when one company retires from busi ness in a certain section it is to give way to another company which by means of its connecting lines can op erate more cheaply, while at the same time sticking to the rate that their predecessor established. . Because of the fact that specific complaint in the present inquiry is Calumet Baking Powder . The only high-class ing Powder sold at a moderate price. - o SEEKS REFUGE IN RUSSIA Persian Brigand Recently Defeated by Shah’s Troops. St. Petersburg, Feb. 7.—Rahim Khan, the Persian brigand whose fol- lowers were disastrously defeated in an engagement in the Karadagh prov- ince, telegraphed to the governor of the Caucasus requesting that he and his 200 followers be allowed to settle in Russia. He promised that if al- lowed to do so he would never return to Persia nor take any further hand in stirring up trouble there. The government repied that Rahim and his family would be permitted to reside at Jokaterinodar, in Russia, but that his followers would not be al lowed to cross the frontier.
