PLAIN LANGUAGE.
There has been much said by
the Dunn ^opposition relative to
the expensive campaign which
the man from Princeton was
making and various insinuations
made that the funds were fur-
nished by the Great Northern
Railway company, but it re-
mained for the editor of the
Wells Poruiii to make the follow-
ing unwarranted attack:
"The Bob Dunn shouters claim
that Bob is a poor man and can-
not afford to make a long cam-
paign. Then we would like to
know who is paying the salary of
his manager, who has opened
headquarters in St. Paul and is
carrying on an active campaign
and expects to keep it up from
now until convention time next
summer. All this costs money,
and if Bob is so confounded
pool1,
it must be that his friend,
J. J. Hill, is paying the bills.
Dunn is the only candidate who
has opened headquarters thus
far ahead of convention time.
The fact is, he is the only one
who can afford it."
R. C. Dunn is noted for his
plain, straightforward mannor'of
dealing with situations and he
goes after the Wells man in this
fashion in the Princeton Union:
"The Wells Forum is owned
and edited, we presume, by a
disgruntled individual who
imagines he has a grievance
against Bob Dunn on account of
a few dollars' worth of official
printing. Bob Dunn has no sal-
aried or unsalaried manager,
neither has he any headquarters
at St. Paul. Mr. George A. Flinn
and Mr. I. C. Patterson, land
clerk and assistant land clerkin
the state auditor's office during
Mr. Dunn's administration, have
now and have had for almost a
year past a land office in the Pio-
neer Press building, room 414.
Messrs. Patterson and Flinn
kindly volunteered to Mr. Dunn
the use of their office while he
was in St. Paul, to which he
could have his mail addressed
and where lie could meet his
friends, an offer of which lie
gladly availed himself. Bob
Dunn is not a pauper. He al-
ways managed to pay one hun-
dred cents on the dollar. He
owes no man. (Can some of* the
Van Sant-Collins managers say
as much?) J. J. Hill has never
directly or indirectly, paid or
caused to be paid a single dollar
to Bob Dunn, furthermore, he
never will. If Bob Dunn cannot
be nominated and elected gover-
nor of Minnesota without mort-
gaging himself to Mr. Hill, Mr.
Lowry or some" other trust or
corporation, he will never be
governor of Minnesota. Mr.
Hill lias contributed scores of
thousands of dollars to elect
governors, senators and even
supreme court judges, but he
has never contributed a five cent
piece to elect Bob Dunn to any
office.

Contest Between Settlers and Squat
ters at Richards, Min n.
Cass Lake, Minn., Dec. 22.When
the settlers and squatters on the town
site of Richards appeared to make
proof at the United States land office
Saturday a contest was started which
will undoubtedly be appealed to the
highest courts. Ernest Fleming of
Bena. Minn., who Is represented by
Judge White of Duluth, filed a pro
test against the acceptance of the
proof of the Richards townsite boom
rs, alleging that they were not actual
iettlers upon the land and that their
settlement was made for speculative
purposes. The Richards people have
retained Judge Matthews of Washing
ton as their counsel. Judge Matthews
has arrived and it is expected that
several days will elapse before all of
the witnesses are examined.
A protest has also been filed by
Major Scott on behalf of the Indians,
who claim that they will lose the val
uable timber on the townsite if the
Richards people are allowed to carry
out their plans. Special Agent Good
win of St. Cloud is present to assist
the register and receiver at the hear
ing.
Great interest, has been shown in
the Richards townsite matter, as the
settlers wore twice driven off by the
Indian police and finally permitted to
remain en the townsite by order of
the ser-retary of the interior.
O AVOID NEW HEAD TAX.
Chinese Pouring Into Canada by the
Hundreds.
San Francisco, Dec. 22.Chinese la
borers are rushing into Canada by
the hundreds and on every steamer
from the Orient they are arriving hero
en route to British Columbia. The
cause for the sudden influx into Can
ada lies in the fact that the Canadian
government recently enacted a law by
which every Chinaman landing on
British soil after Jan. 1 will be com
pelled to pay a head tax of $500. Un
der the present law the Chinese are
only required to pay $5.
The steamer Doric, which recently
arrived here from the Orient, brought
eighty Chinese, who were immediately
shipped to Victoria. The Japanese
liner Nippon Maru, just arrived,
brought eighty-nine Chinese and the
steamer Oanfa carried 149 Mongolians,
all of whom are in transit to Canada.
