Two tickets are to be thrown into tht
field in every precinct, one by the Kelly
men and the other by the Fullerites. 1t is
not so much fight on whether DIR. Ames
is to be the Democratic nominee for gov
ernOr as it is contest between Hon
Michael Doran and H. II. Fuller as to who
shall be chairman of the state committee
Mr.. Fuller is determined to secure the op
ponents of Mr.. Doran wherever he can
If he can get the right kind of delegates in
the state convention he will exert himself
to prevent Senator Doran's reappointment
on the state central committee. To do this
he must control the Ramsey county con
