VOL. XXIII.-NO. 307. ID 1011 11 GOVERNOR SAYS STREET RAILWAY MAGNATE OFFERED $5,000 FOR CAMPAIGN FUND 1. TAXATION WAS HELD DOW_ ON THE TWIN CITY RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY WITHIN $750,000 OF OLD FIGURES CHARGE MADE A SENSATION East Side Turner Hall, Minneapolis, the Scene of the Political Sen sation of the Present Campaign. Uov. John Lind made the most sensa tional utterance of the campaign in an address at the East side Turner hall, Minneapolis, last night, openly charging that the vice president of the Twin City Rapid Transit companj* had endeavored to influence his action as a member of the state board of equalization by prom ising $5,000 to the Democratic campaign fund. CHARGE IS MOST SPECIFIC. "Before the meeting of the state board of equalisation,*' said Gov. Lind, '•the first week in August, to be exact, the vice president of the Twin City Rapid Transit company came to a friend of mine in St. Paul and said: •' 'You tell the governor that if the board of equalization does not increase onr assessment more than 9750,000, we will contribute $5,000 to the Democratic state central com mittee to apply on the campaign fund.' '> AUDIENCE WAS THUNDERSTRUCK. The large audience listened in silent, amazement to this startling charge. Then, as its full force seemed to break over the surprise all felt, yells went up from a thousand throats, cheers for Lind, and shouts of contempt for the represen tative of the railway company. "When the board met," continued tin- governor, '.the assessment of this corporation was raised from $2,700,000 to $4,000,000. "Tills may explain the venomous attack, which have been made upon me by newspapers friendly to this great corporation. Their latest charge is that I am insane.') AS*A QUESTION OF SANITY. "I am just insane enough to turn a deaf ear to a.l such overtures-as the one I have just related to you, and to veto all bills such as thai providing for the twenty-five-year tenure of all street railway franchises." No further explanation was required to demonstrate to 'that audience why the hostility of this company had been so fiercely aroused against Gov Liny. The governor stated that just before '.caving the West hotel to deliver his first speech last night the gentleman in St. Paul to whom the vice president of the Twin City Rapid Transit company made this statement) hastened a messenger to him with the word that he could make use of the information just as he pleased and the evidence, if require*, would be forthcoming. ASSESSMENT STILL TOO LOW. Gov. Lind stated that in increas ing this assessment no injustice hud been done, as the company was still paying less in taxes, proportionate ly, than many other taxpayers, and are paying dividends on $10,000, -000 capital stock. READ THEM THE BILL. His first meeting last night was at the Ninth ward headquarters, 1925 Cen tral avenue. Here he met a large audi ence, mostly workingmen, arid talked to them for ten minutes on matters of special interest to them. • Gov. Lind read the bill which the last legislature passed providing for the granting of twenty-five-year franchises to street rail way companies, and which would have become a law but for his veto. He held it up and asked if those present wanted him to sign v that bill. The au dience responded with a united "no." ACCUSES THE VICE PRESIDENT. Turner hall on the East side was the next meeting place. There were 800 people in the hall when the governor arrived and more came after ward. Two little girls took a prominent part in the event by giving a unique Bryan and Lind yell. The governor took pleasant notice of the compliment. Ii was at this meeting that Gov. Lind referred to the strenuous attacks made upon him throughout the campaign by certain Republican newspapers because he had been a member of the board of equalization that raised the assessment of the Twin City Rapid Transit com pany. "These attacks have been venomous." paid the governor, "but perhaps I can give you a suggestion as to their provo cation. Before the meeting of the board of equalization, the first week in August, to be exact, the vice president of the Twin City Rapid Transit company came to a friend of mine in St. Paul and .aid: 'You tell the governor that if the board of equalization does not in crease our assessment more than $750,000 we will contribute $5,000 to the Demo cratic state central committee to apply on the campaign fund.' " WILL STAND BY HIS GUNS. Another din of enthusiasm was pro.-ek ed when the governor declared that: "Wo care not if they down us in this campaign, there is manhood in American citizens that will rise above temporary defeat and impel us to stand by our guns and. fight . out this battle to the bitter 'end. There is a right and justice and integrity, and these must and will prevail." SPEAKS IN THIRD WARD. The governor next addressed a large audience in the Third ward, at 510 Ply mouth avenue. The hall was entirely illled and the meeting a splendid one. Here Gov. Lind again referred to some of the unscrupulousness of the enemy, and stated that he would, so long as he was governor, use every means within his power to compel every human being in this state, whether he dwells in castle or cabin, to bear his equal share of the burdens of taxation. Gov. Lind also ap pealed to the manhood of the citizens by paying: .

The governor spoke* in the Tenth ward, at Twenty-ninth and Washington ave nues; in the Third" ward again, in Dur ham's hall; in the Fourth ward, at Kis tler's hall, and in the Sixth ward, at Wilcox's hall. He -was < the recipient of one continuous ovation from the time he began his brief tour of the Mill City until his final word was uttered. There were a number vof prominent' Democrats and candidates at the several places with Gov. Lind. Among them were Mayor Gray, S. M. Owen. M. E. Neary, Chairman Barton. S. A. Stockwell, Judge Canty, Ludwig "Aretander" : and' many others. -:-y ..-- "t IK'".. : .*■ . ■ • v '. STARTED YESTERDAY AT ANOKA. It was a busy day for the governor, but a most gratifying one to the success of his mission. Large audiences and great enthusiasm greeted him upon ev ery occasion. The Republicans of Anoka, one of the strong Republican towns of the state, opened their eyes yesterday to the most complete surprise they have perha_?S wit nessed for many a day. Since the be ginning of the campaign' Tarns Bixby's high privates of that place have labored incessantly to arouse an immovable prej udice against Gov. Lind because of a grievance which, forsooth, they claimed a title to. The two Republican papers of the town have contributed their most vigilant efforts 'to fostering this spirit of hostility and what help was needed from the state committee was cheerfully and abundantly given. So determined were the Republicans of -->.noka to keep Gov. Lind from delivering a speech in their.town this fall that ef forts were made to rent all the halls in the town, so that he would be without a place in which to speak. But this plan failed, as did all others. A local newspaper man, fraught with the spirit both of the edict that had gone forth to keep Lind out of Anoka, even went to a prominent Democrat and made the overture that if the Democrats would agree not to have the governor speak there during the campaign, they, the Re publicans, would "consent" to steer their Van Sant, of Winona,--around the town; The magnanimity of this gracious of fer did not commend itself to the Demo crat, who could think of no reason for wanting Van Sant to stay away from -..noka, believing that every time he mounts the stump th. success of the Democratic ticket is aided that much, and so he had to decline the proffer. The consequence was that Gov. Lind did invade Anoka, and his reception (and this was the surprise) was a most cordial and enthusastic one. He spoke in the town hall, which was packed to over flowing, and it is barely possible that some few in the audience were Repub licans. The Wise murder trial, which is in progress in the town, had been ab sorbing the attention of the politicians for the past week or two, but they found time to leave the*court room and pause in their discussion of the merits of the startling case, and attended the meeting occasioned by the presence of Gov. Lind in their town. It was a ter rible jolt to the" "old boys" who had worked so faithfully to "keep John land out of Anoka." CHEERS FOR LIND. Van Sant Enthusiasm Absent at Sleepy Eye Repnblican Meeting. SLEEPY EYE, Minn., Nov.- 2.—(Spe cial. .^Congressman J. T. McCleary ad dressed a fair sized audience at the opera house this evening. Previous to the speaking a torch light" procession with two bands, awakened considerable en thusiasm. It was a noticeable fact, how ever, and conspicuous, because of its absence, that there were no transpar ancles in the line in honor of Van Sant, and only a few boys along the line of the parade had the temerity" to shout for thar unfortunate candidate. The' Lind yells completely drowned thoses for Van Sant. showing conclusively that the Republican candidate has little sympathy and can expect few"vdte_ in this city. The ad dress was principally on imperialism, and a review "of the ancient history of the United States. He failed to satisfy people who were looking for an address on the Issues of the day. Before the ad dress the Democratic club, of this place, had circulated a record of Mr. -"McCleary'a representation in congress and it was ex pected that he would deny or explain some of the points raised, but this he failed to do and the people of this place are still wondering about his Porto Rican vote and his attitude on the trust ques tion.

HONOLULU, Oct. 25, via San Francis co, Nov. United States District Judge Estee has rendered a decision to the effect that the constitution does not fol low the flag in an important libel case that has been before the courts here for some time. William H. Marshall was sentenced" to six months imprisonment for criminal libel on account of publica tions he made about the late Chief Jus tice Judd. He made an appeal to the supreme court of Hawaii on technical grounds, alleging that the methods pur-' sued during his trial were not in ac cordance with American procedure. The lower court was* sustained, and Marshall turned to Judge Estee with a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Estoe held that the laws of Hawaii allowing conviction of defendants upon a verdict by nine jurors were, still in force at the time of Marshall's trial, which was long after the passage of the resolution annexing Hawaii, to the union. The judge said that Hawaii before be ing annexed "was a free, enlightened state, possessing all the attributes of sovereignty, and when the islands were annexed by the United States not only the lands, but the people,- with their laws and customs, remained in force until new laws were enacted for the govern ment of the territory." DIFFERENCE OR OPINION. The question of whether the constitu tion follows the flag to Hawaii is one which many people would like to have decided by the supreme "court of the United States. One of the circuit judges here, taking a view opposite to that of Judge Estee, has already released a prisoner who was convicted of an infa mous crime without a grand jury indict ment, but the circuit judge to whom Marshall's appeal went held the other way. ' The release is the release of one man and the confirmation of the sentence of another, though both applied on ex actly the same points. The attorney general has rendered an opinion that the old Hawaiian law re quiring vessels arriving here to pay half pilot fees, even: if they do not use a pilot, is nit inforce now as far as Amer ican vessels engaged in domestic trade are concerned. Foreigners and American bottoms in foreign trade are still liable to the charge. Signor Marconi has sent to Hawaii a new- expert from London to investigate the cause of the failure of his system here. — ,<> '■ THE SUNDAY GLOBE.

THREE VITAL QUESTIONS. Powers Will insist on Removal From Power of* the Dowager. WASHINGTON,. Nov. 2.—lt was stated today in quarters well versed in Chinese affairs that outside of the questions of indemnity, punishments, etc., now under negotiation at Pekift,. there are three vital and far-reaching questions to be determined, viz.: First, the removal of the empress dowager, personally * and through the influence. of her advisers, from all participation- in the Chinese government; second, the creation of an indemnity fund by the increase of Chi na's customs revenue, • either ; by the pay ment of the duties in i gold or by" doubling the present silver? duties; and' third, t?_§ establishment of si minister of foreign affairs in place of : the old'and 'cumber-' some system of the; tsung li yamen.

As the empress dowager was • the ; ruling au thority of the imperial government dur ing, the uprising, 'this responsibility is brought home directly to her. The plan of doubling China's customs duties has arisen from the need of find ing a source to pay war indemnities which the various powers demand.'

LONDON, Nov. 3.—The South African i situation is improving and Lord Roberts will shortly return to England with a j majority of his staff. Arrangements are being made in Cape Town to send .he first batch of refugees back to Johannes burg, and accommodation is being pro vided at Bloemfontein for a garrison of 7,000. Nevertheless the activity of the Boers continues. On Oct. 26 a commando of 300 captured a garrison of thirty men at Reddersburg, but afterward released them. Trains from the south to Pre toria are attacked by the Boers almost daily. On Oct. 24 the burghers occupied Konyfontein. ' On the other hand, Gen. Knox has in flicted a reverse on Gen. Dewet's force near Paris, capturing two guns, one of them a weapon lost by the British in the Sannas Post affair. The daily list of casualties is heavy. During the month of October'the British lost 165 killed, including 15 officers anel 71 who died of wound's, 367 who died of disease, 22 who died of accidents and 97 captured or missing, a total almost equal to* the mortality average during the war.

It says also that no considerable party of troops will return before Janu ary or February, while the regimental drafts from England will continue and 3,000 horses will be sent out. . The paper definitely declares that the Boers are well armed and abundantly supplied with ammunition and that the campaign is likely to last another six months.

DINNER PAIL ARGUMENT IS A BOOMERANG LABOR VOTE IS -DEMOCRATIC Fusion Presidential" -Candidate, in an Interview at Chicago, Con fidently Predicts His Own Election. CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Hon. W. J. Bryan, Democratic presidential candidate, to night gave out the. following statement in the form of an interview; "The Republican campaign has been a failure. .The..full., dinner pail argument has been repudiated by the workingmen, and the Republicans are compelled to confers that a large proportion <__ the la bor vote will be cast..for. the Democratic ticket. Besides believing with the Dem ocrats in the general doctrine cf equal rights to all and special privileges te none, the laboring men are against the trusts, the large army and tne colonial policy. The laboring men are also drawn to the Democratic party by the fact that our party is opposed to government by injunction, to the blacklist and to Chinese immigration,,, and in favor of arbitration,' and of a cabinet officer selected to repre sent the wage. earners. "The Republicans are "now" hoping to hold their strength among .the farmers, but they have no policy which will benefit the farmer. The man who makes his living on the farm is the victim of all the vicious legislation for which the Re publican party is responsible and re ceives none of the benefits conferred by special legislation upon corporations and syndicates, The farmer pays more than his share of the taxes and receives less than his share of the consideration of government. Republican policies have lessened the.value of farm lands, in creased the proportion of tenants and have driven theTarmers' sons away from the farm thus intensifying the struggle for existence in the cities. OPPOSED TO TRUSTS. "The farmers are almost unanimously opposed to the trusts, and they can have no sympathy with the imperialistic pol icy of the Republican party with its at tendant. increase in the military estab lishment. "I believe that the election will show that we have gained among farmers as well as in the cities; •' ;y* "The small business men and the pro fessional men are- also feeling the effect of the industrial despotism which has grown up with this administration. "The poo_ are coming to the Democratic: party because they want a chance in the race for life, and many of the well to-do are coming because tiiey readme that the Democratic party ; affords better pro tection to honest wealth than- the Re publican party... "The Republican party is under the control of those who seek advantage through governmental: favoritism and grow rich by the exploitation of citizens at home and subjects abroad. It is a fight between Democracy on the one side and plutocracy on the other, and Democ racy appeals to the judgment and to the conscience of those who are willing to let live as well as to 1ive..".... MADE TWELVE SPEECHES. CHICAGO, Nov. 2,-William Jennings Bryan s programme in Chicago today comprised twelve speeches. The crowds that greeted him were greater than those at the meetings of yesterday and last night. The candidate began his itinerary,.at. Handel hall, in the down town business district, going from there to the public library,. Where, he spoke to an outdoor gathering of* workingmen. After luncheon he made, two addresses in 'Old "Vienna" pavilion, at Sixtieth street and Cottage Grove avenue, one to the crowd in the' building and the other to the throng that was unable to gain ad mittance. Here was the only semblance of disturbance manifested during the day. Two of the men in, the audience followed, almost simultaneously; "How about North Carolina?" and Mr. Bryan was re plying when one, of the questioners in sisted on asking a question concerning trusts, whereupon the crowd demanded •that he be thrown out and threatened to lynch him. Mr. Bryan insisted upon an swering, however, but could not do so for some time, owing to the .uproar made by the crowd by expressing its resentment towards the inquisitor.- The latter was saved from violence only by police inter fering.

Mr. < Roosevelt finished this tour ln excellent! health and good spirits, and. as he said tonight, "with a slightly weakened voice, i but able to go on with the camp a couple of weeks more." The last day of this campaign Included eight stops between Jamestown, in Chautaqua county, and inclusive of Owego, in Tioga county.
