70 Mayor Ames. The committee was in
Iession for two hours and half, emerging
1t IL o'clock with smiling faces and a
general air of happy mystery. Every
shing is lovely" said Senator
Buck when approached for results, 1.-The
best Democrats of the state are in this
movement and with us against the bosses.
That's all there is to it," Editor Green said
ae had nothing to give out. Said he: THE
papers have all ridiculed us and made light
Of this movement. so they can just skirmish
for news" The st. Paul delegation rushed
off to its train without saying word, while
the remainder joined little bevy in which
Mayor Ames was the central figure. The
committee did nothing but report. There
MAS not resolution offered nor step taken.
Ind the matter to be prepared for the COM
mg state convention was laid over till the
hrst meeting after the state central COM
mittee shall have issued its call. All twelve
Of the judicial districts were represented,
Mr.. Fuller being there in his private
capacity. Reports from all were listened to
and the committeeman pronounced
them in unqualified language as highly
gratifying. "Our general advces are"
said one, Ito the effect that if this move
should split the party there would be
three or four on one side and all the rest of
Us on the other. Not man of prominence
or standing is against US in this fight. for
the best part of the Democracy and the
rank and file of the party are solid with us.
We will be ready for the convention when
it meets" The committee adjourned to
meet at the call of the chairman, and the
understanding is this will not be until after
the meeting of the state central committee.
Il. H. FULLER
was seen in st. Paul late last evening by
GLOBE reporter. He said:
1t was very satisfactory meeting The
attendance was good and matters were re-
ported as shaping themselves finely. Just
what we propose to do we shall not make
public. Two sides can make still hunt as
well as one. This talk that Doc Ames is try
ing to get into the good graces of Mr.. Kelly
and is trying to explain away his action is
not so. 1t comes from the fertile
brains of Republicans who would like to see
our movement killed Off. You will notice
that all the Republican papers in this city are
trying to belttle our movement. The more
strongly they oppose it, the better feel, for
1t shows that they are afraid. They see a
possibility of losing the big majority they have
always had.
