I Uv RALLYJO CLOSE THE CAMPAIGN SATURDAY AND MEETING AT THE AUDITORIUM. Closing Meeting of the In St. Pa.nl Will Be a. Fitting Climax for a Successful WeekDemocrats Are All at Sea Over the Local Ticket and Knives Are Out All Along the LineRepublicans Are UnitedThe CandidatesPolitical Notes. At yesterday's meeting of the Republican county executive committee Messrs.

Picha, Libbey and Selb were named as special committee to take charge of and complete the arrangements for Saturday night's rally at the Auditorium, with which the Republicans will close the campaign locally. It is intended to make this a fitting close to a week that opened as enthusiastically as did this week of the campaign in St. Paul. It is proposed to have a huge parade preceding the meeting. Republicans from the various wards will gather at Rice Park and parade to the Auditorium.

The Minnesota State band has already been engaged and the Third ward Republicans have also engaged a band. Other wards are expected to follow suit. Minneapolis Republicans will return the compliment paid them by their St. Paul brethren on Tuesday night, and will come over a thousand strong with the Journal band and other martial music. It is expected that the Minneapolis contingent will wear their campaign uniforms.

The Norse-American club will turn out for the first time in this campaign 700 strong. Capt. J. J. McCardy will probably act as chief marshal, and each of the wards will have a marshal to be named later.

"Eustis and Stevens" badges will be provided for everybody. Third ward Republicans will meet at the Krahmer block, Seventh and Sibley, and march to Rice Park in a body. Fifth warders will meet at 542 West Seventh street Sixth warders at 382 South Washa street Eighth warders at University and Farrlngton. The places of meeting for the other wards will be designated today. At the Auditorium the speakers will be "William Henry Eustis, V.

B. Dolliver of Charles A. A. MeGee of Milwaukee, Dar Reese andOthers, and there will be an abundance of campaign muslo and other interesting features. v- -r" -t- In the candidacy of Hiler H.

Horton for the senatorship in the Thirty-sixth district the people are given an opportunity to vote for the friend of Senator Davis, bound to the interests of the distinguished senator by every obligation, political and personal. Mr. Horton has served in the legislature before, and during his former term he rendered conspicuous service to the city. In the coming legislature, with its conceded Republican majority in both, houses, he will be in a position to accomplish much more for St. Paul.

Fortunately, there exists not the slightest doubt of Mr. Horton's election. The local Democrats are "up in the air." They have been, struggling along without any effective organization, split vp the back in every precinct, pulling and hauling at cross purposes, every man on the ticket with a knife up his sleeve for some other candidate, hoping that there might be apathy enough among the Republicans to allow one or two of their candidates to slip in. And for a time it looked as if there might be some foundation for the hope. But the last three days have shattered these hopes, and the gloom of despair has settled down about Democratic headquarters.

The series of Republican meetings held on Monday night, when the voters turned out by thousands to welcome Mr. Eustis and Capt. Van Sant, was a shock for the Democrats that stunned them, and the way the Republicans gathered on Tuesday night to go over to Minneapolis to the Foraker meeting was the finishing blow. A prominent Democrat, who stood on the corner of Sixth and Robert Tuesday evening and watched the voters packing the cars bound for the Minneapolis meeting, turned to a Republican friend and' remarked with an earnestness that was almost pathetic, "Well. I am glad I am not a candidate on the Democratic ticket this year." The Republicans are united, earnest and full of fight for the whole ticket, frgn governor down to county commissioner The Democrats are split up into a score of factions, dismayed, disorganized and disheartened and full of fightonly against each other.

So marked has become the hostility within the ranks that it would be a safe proposition to offer a reward for a Democrat who intends to vote the straight ticket from top to bottom. No one would ever claim it. Every one of them has somebody marked for slaughter, so far as he can accomplish The Fourth ward must choose between a representative who will go to the legislature to represent the interests of his ward- and city and one who will go to represent a private grab on the state treasury. It should not be a difficult matter to make the choice between Henry Johns and John O'Connor. The former must be relied cm in large measure to take charge of the interests of the whole city in the legislature where he has won a position of leadership and influence.

The latter would trade, off every interest of the city if he could work through his private graft. The people want a safe man in the county treasurer's office. Good fellowship may be a qualification for some official positions, but whein it comes to turning the county cash over to a man who has nothing in his favor save that he is a good fellow, ithe average voter is very apt to cross the boundary lines. O. H.

Arosin is the only candidate for this office Who is qualified (for its duties and- the people know it. There is no reason why St. Paul should not send a solid Reupblican delegation to both branches of the legislature. There are many reasons why the interests of the city would be furthered by the election of every Republican candidate to both senate and house. In the first place it would mean sixteen votes for Senator Davis and five votes for Senator Nelson.

It would mean a "united delegation in every matter in which the interests of the city were involved. It is conceded by the opposition that the legislature will be Republican in both branches. With a Republican legislature a solidly Republican delegation can hope for nfuch more influence than divided delegation. If politics is dismissed from 'the consideration of the uestion and it is made one of personal fitness alone, there would still be no reason for the defeat of a singleRepublican Taking the whole list from top toe-bottom the Republican candidates in every case are the superiors! of tneir opponents and in. the majority of cases the difference is so marked in favor of the Republican nominees that is out of the question.

I "J- -7- A young man who can make as enviable a record as Horace Bigelow did in. his term in the council safe man to trust with any public office. He is well never held any political fled for the position of county attorney and will be by a decisive majority. The returns from the canvass of the county made by'the Republican committee indicates an average majority for the straight Republican ticket of at least 2,000. By election day it may have grown half again as large.

But if the election were to be held to-day the figure named would Be about right. Some of the candidates will receive a larger vote, and -some may fall a trifle below it, but it is safe to predict a majority of not less than 2,000 for Mr. Eustis, Congressman Stevens and (Oil the state and county ticket. i '-S- H.

Mr. Schulze is now and has for three years occupied a position in the office of County Auditor Sullivan. Nor will he need any introduction to the people of St. Paul, for although his present 'residence is out at White Bear, he was born and brought up in St. Paul.

Mr Schulze is a Territorial Pioneer by the narrow margin of two years, for his birthday only antedated the merging of the territory into the state by that length of time. For twenty years he was with R. A. Lanpher Co. He is married.

This is Mr. Schulze's first offense in a political way, and coincidentally it is the first time a nomination for a county office other than for those places which peculiarly belong to the country, has ever been tendered outside the city limits.

Mendacious Globe Forward a Eatabllmned Pact Mere Allesntlons a Coiaplalnt That Was Never Statement Tbat He Held a Dollar's Worth of Stock Stands UncontradictedAt- tempt to' Bnlld Up a Scandal on Ex Parte Statements That the Never Essayed to Prove. A half truth is more dangerous than an outright falsehood. The Globe, while telling the truth about the supreme court decision in which William Henry Eustis figured as stockholder and director of the Guaranty Loan and omitting to givethe subsequent history of that case, was as guilty of a deliberate attempt to falsify as if there had not been a particle of truth fn the whole story. The whole campaign against Mr. Eustis has been marked by the same insincerity.

Where it has not been a campaign of deliberate lying it has been a campaign of jumbled and distorted facts. Conclusions that would be absolutely unwarranted if thewhole truth was told have been made toappear incontrovertibly established upon a basis of a part of the truth. With reference to the suit in which the Globe quotes the decision of the supremecourt and rolls it as a sweet morsel under a slanderous tongue, it deliberately suppresses the most important part of the case so far as it affects Mr. Eustis. The facts may be briefly stated.

A suit was brought against the men whose namesappeared of record as directors of the Guaranty Loan, in the district court of Hennepin county. Mr. Eustis was a directonof record. He has never attempted to deny it, but has given an adequate explanation of his connection company and the people are entirely familiar with it. In this suit he was named as a stockholder.

The parties who brought the suit so designated him. Mr. Eustis has deaiied in positive terms that he ever owned a dollar of stock in t'he Guaranty Loan and the mere fact that he was named in a suit for recovery as a stockholder does not weigh against his word. To the complaint in this action the defendants demurred and the lower court sustained the demurrer. From this order the plaintiffs appealed and the supreme court decision was had upon this appeal.

The supreme court sustained the appeal and sent the case back for trial on its merits. There is absolutely nothing in the decision that establishes any of the facts alleged by the Globe. Ex Parte Statements. The decision is full, of the expression "it is alleged," referring to the statements in the complaint and the decision of the court practically amounted to a declaration that if what the plaintiffs said was true they had grounds for an action: Mr. Eustis' name is not mentioned, except in quoting the title of the action.

The case went back for trial, and the Globe, if it had desired to tell the whole truth, would have followed the case through this stage, for it was only upon a trial in the lower court that the allegations of the complaint or any of them could be established. As a matter of fact, the case, at least so far as Mr. Eustift was concerned, was never tried. The plaintiffs concluded that they could not make out a case against him as stockholder or director in the lower court, the only place where the real facts could be made to appear, and it was dismissed. Instead of his having been declared by the supreme court a director and stockholder in the Guaranty Loan, or both, the court decided nothing at all about it, and the plaintiffs who cited him as a director and stockholder never cared to try the question on its merits.

This is the truth and the whole truth about this case, and Mr. Eustis' statements that he never owned in the Guaranty Loan and that he was never willingly a director in the company are left absolutely unimpeached. (J. PRANK GEORGE. A Lawyer of Ability, He Will Mnlcea Strong Member.

His' friends" are legion, and no greater testimony to his worth as a citizen, as a business man and as a friend could be vouchsafed than the hearty unanimity with which he was chosen as a candidate for judiciary by his fellow citizens in the convention.
