the interests of the Democratic party at heart
as much as he pretends to, am surprised
that he should make the statements that
md In his letter Of this morning. For in
stance, he states that the colonel (meaning
GLENN is thought to have his eye upon the
ONCE OF register of deeds and it Is not at all
uncertain that it would not be one of the
wisest things the party could do to give him
the nomination for the place. There is no
question but he is power among the labor
ing people, and it would be the unw1sest
policy to fail to recognize the element OF
which he is justly accredited Of being the
leader.
How do the laboring people like this? Is 1t
not on par with Donohue's pledging the
Irish vote ut two different elections and to
different political parties? Further on Ram
bier states: FOR County Attorney w. ii.
Donohue appears to have no open OPPOSE
ton" Now, Mr.. Editor, while do not wish
to create any discord within the ranks OF the
Democratic party, the time to argue differ
ences is before the nominations are made, not
after: and when Rambler makes the state
ment he does above, he states what he must
know to be false. Mr.. Donohue may 10 doubt
be a candidate. and be may, SIS Rambler
states, be working for the position with
energy, but it is well-kuown fact that while
Chris A. Gallagher has not asked q
single man to support him. there are
many who are urging his nomina-
ton as the strongest that could
be made. and he has consented to accept it,
but WILL as he states, buttonhole no man for
his support. These facts are well-known to
to the readers Of the GLOBE, and must have
been well known to Rambler, and if in a long
letter, such as Rambler wrote, he could find
space to mention candidates, and he had the
interests of the party so at heart, l should
think that he would have mentioned all
whose names had been spoken of in connec-
ton with the nominations, and with fairness.
1 believe that the Democracy stand good
chance to carry Hennepin county this fall,
but great deal depends on the nominations
that are made. Let us put our best men for
ward, and il Donohue is the best man and
stands the best in his profession let us nom
mate dim; or If Gallagher is the most capa-
bic man and can do more for the ticket, let
us nominate him. But these are the consid-
erations that should be looked to, and not the
personal seeking of any candidate.

RENNEPIN POLITICS.
The Coming ConveHtion--ssRam b-
ler'. Criticised.


While the Democratic county committee
was unit in favor of precinct caucuses.
many of the rank and file of the party OBJ
ject to it as being useless machinery. There
is no doubt. however, the precinct plan per-
mits a fuller and wider expression of
opinion than the ward,caucus, and besides in
many wards there is not a hall large
enough TO accommodate the vast crowd of
Democrats who come to caucus. The
committee said nothing whatever of the
convention to nominate a county ticket.
It was supposed by many that one conven-
ton might easily choose the two delega-
tions and nominate ticket at the same
time. Not a few candidates are in favor Of
an early convention, and their wish will
doubtless be gratitied, as a second commit
tee meeting will be held this week.
The basis of one delegate for every fifty
votes and major faction cast for Cleveland,
would give 161 delegates to the convention,
the county having cast 8,O5S votes. The
rule, however, that each precinct shall have
at least one delegate. will add about fifteen
to this number. In 1884 there were several
small precincts in the city, at which fewer
than twenty-five votes were cast for Cleye-
land, and each of these will have dele
gate. Five precincts have been added since
then, which will increase the number. In
the Eighth ward less than 100 votes
were cast for the Democratic ticket, while
ut present there are nearly 600 Democratic
votes in the ward. The subcommittee
will adjust all of this and give to each pre-
einct its proper representation. There
will be about It's delegates to the conyen-
lion.

POOL ROOM SCORES.
some Singular Base Ball Results
Obtained Saturday Night.

Obtained saturday Night.
Buying base ball pools is one of the pop
ular methods of evincing interest in the
national game in Minneapolis. Three pool
rooms are doing a driving business, and
about the time the Geographic scores come
in, the rooms are crowded with interested
holders of tickets The combination
pool" is the proper thing, and on occasions
great numbers of them are sold. Five
games for instance, are selected and the
ten clubs participating are numbered from
one to ten. Of the ten, five will be win
nerS, and the buyers of tickets place their
money on their ability to name the winners.
The principle is that of French pools
in horse racing, though much more
comprehensive. With ten clubs there
will be 1913 combinations Of the
five winners, offering a wide range for luck
or judgment, as the case may be. These
combinations are numbered conSecutlvely,
and the holders of the winning numbers
divide the money in the pool, less the per-
centage of the auctioneer or seller. 1t &C.
casionally happens that no buyer has struck
the winning combination, in which case
1.-THE house" gets all the money. Occasion
ally one or two buyers will divide the pool
and it not infrequently happens large ma
jority of buyers will have the winning
number.
On Saturday night, there was considera-
BILE interest taken in the combination on
Northwestern league games, as the Mime
sofa clubs were all in Wisconsin. The first
game received was the Eau Claire-Duluth,
won by the former. A long wait occurred,
and the next score put up was st. Paul II,
Milwaukee 1.
Here, that game was stopped by rain,''
exclaimed some one in the back part Of the
room. ''Only one inning was played; that
don't GO" But no one paid attention. Pres
emily the score was marked Oshkosh Z, Min
neapolis 2.
"How'n thunder did they get that?'' de-
manded the kicker. 1.-The wires are all down
at Oshkosh and I couldn't get dispatch
through Don't believe word of it.
But the scores went down and pools were
paid accordingly.

HOW TO PROTECT GAME.
A Waseca County Man Suggests
Custodian of Shotguns.


Richland is small town in Waseca
county, about ninety miles down the St.
Louis road, and it can boast of more fine
hunting dogs than any place of its size in
the United States. The religious editor of
the GLOBE was visitor there until Sun
day, the guest of Giles Gorgen. Mr..
Gorgen is a character in his way, and
probably has as many friends as any man
in the town. He is a Norwegian by birth
and is now probably so years of age. He
is one of the best shots in the
country, and strange as it NAV
seem, does not boast of it. While
out on the prairie Friday a frequent remark
of his was:
sob, miss good many chickens. but
still if one gets up within gun-shot it is
running into considerable danger"
The old gentleman said that he was sorry
to say that a good many young fellows IN
town were in the habit of starting out be-
fore the game law was out. and killing the
Young chickens. cit seems to me said
he, '.that the only way to prevent
this numbering of chickens is to have a
public custodian of all shot-guns. The
law should be fixed so that each nerson
owning shotgun should be required to
deposit his gun there, where he conld not
get it until the evening of the 18th of
August. That would fix them"

world. and would 90 to the most serious

not persons in an elevated sphere Of life

In that all the principals were persons OF
high social standing. 1t is our English
cousins who cap the climax In these
things The heir to the British throne
