ANOKA, Minn., Aug. 11.-Anolla
county Democrats in convention as
sembled to-day, departed somewhat
from their usual quiet manner of pro-
double header, amidst considerable
tumult, caused by factional feeling of
Ames sympathiZers VS.. "Me and Mike"
adherants reaching a climax. The feel
ing has been growing some little time,
and the Wilson followers were mostly
outsiders, and as the city faction cap
tured majority of the delegates at the
caucuSeS, they expected to make clean
sweep at the convention. But fate
willed it otherwise. The convention
at II o'clock this afternoon by T. NJ.
Ryan, chairman of the county commit
tee. A motion was made to have the
delegates vote in a body, which drew
out emphatic objection. Delegates
from the towns of Blaine and Grow
also objected to the AmeS men, claiming
they were not legally elected. A mo-
ton was made at this time for Michael
Tigue to act as temporary chairman.
This also was opposed, and, some con-
fusion prevailing, the Ames crowd
agreed to hold a convention
ON THEIR OWN HOOK,
and quietly withdrew to the grand jury
room down stairs. When the regular
routine business of each convention was
transacted, the Wilson followers up
stairs elected Michael Tigue chairman,
John P. Colling secretary; delegates to
the state convention. Thomas Coleman
chairman, George w. Morrill, and Will
A. Greenwald. They go uninStructed.
Down stairs the loyal adherents of the
genial doctor were performing a pleas
ant duty. Weston Hammons was
placed in the chair, and III. Engel chosen
as secretary. Committees were appoint
ed Oh credentials and resolutions. and
soon made reports, which were adopted.
The resolutions highly complimented
the chief executive and indOrSed all
the official acts of the present admins
tration, and took decided stand
against monopolies and bossism, not
excluding ME and Nike" Delegates
to the state convention were named as
follows: Weston Hammos, F. A. Ed
CARTON and DR.. A. L. Sherman. The
Wilson men tried to do the square thing,
and the Ames men excuse their conduct
through the claimed illegalities OF the
other side. They both appear equally
confident and determined, but it is to
be hoped some compromise will be eff
fected in time to restore harmony be-
fore the state convention convenes.

TOUGH CHESTNUTS
Sprung by Kelly and Doran to
Conceal Themselves

Sprung by Kelly and Doran to
Conceal Themselves.
The state central Democratic COM
mittee, or that portion of it represented
by Messrs. Doran and Kelly and Secre-
tary Miller, are very vigorously sending
out RoorhaekS calculated. to cause con-
fusion in the coming state convention.
The latest is to the effect that Edmund
Rice is to be sprung on the convention
as a candidate for governor by DIR.
AmeS and the regular Ramsey county
delegation.
No one ever heard of this cock-and-
bull story until 1t was mentioned in the
state central committee headquarters.
1t was then seized upon by reporter
in the employ of MesSrS. DOran and
Kelly and published.
1t has been known fol a month that
Mr.. Rice would not accept the nomina-
ton for governor under any circum-
stances, and to nominate him would
only be doing silly thing. Since this
knowledge has been certain his name
has not come up as candidate for gov
ernor and it will not be presented.
The object of Kelly and Doran is to
make it appear that there is fight on
Eugene Wilson, and to divert attention
from their own deeds.
The only trouble with the Democratic
party at the present time. so far as any
one can discover, is Kelly and Doran
and their desire to capture the state
committee and run the whole campaign
deal. If they were out of the way the
coming convention would be the most
united ever held in the state. The issue
before the party is as to whether Kelly
and Doran (who never won a victory
shall lead, or whether federal patronage
shall be set aside with them and new
deal be had for victory this year.
When the term ''old FOSSIL" as ap.
piled to Edmund Rice, is heard in the
rooms of the Democratic state centra
committee, it is about time to inquire
what Messrs. Kelly and Doran are going
to do with the recf of the nal-u

Marshal Campbell Not Play
ing the Offensive Partisan
for the Democracy.

The most carefully corcocted political
scheme of the year. and which has been
uncovered, is that which was exposed
yesterday afternoon at an informal con-
ference of Republicans held at the Mer-
chants hotel.
1t is plan so carefully devised that
nothing but publicity can destroy its
purpose.
During all of the time that the name
of Millionaire Merriam has been before
the country as a candidate for governor
it has been known that the willy Will
lam has not cared to go into the con-
vention with the prospects of being de-
feated.
He not only had his personal feelings
and ambitions TO protect in this respect,
but the interests as well of a powerful
railroad combination which favors him.
This railroad combination has had
only one object in supporting him, and
that to make secure the appointment of
railroad commission favorable to
themselves, and that through Merriam's S
influence as eX-speaker of the house and
governor Gf he is electeO to kill in the
lobby or committee next winter all radi-
cal railroad legislation.
Certain Minnesota railroads particu-
larly the Manitoba, it is said have rea-
son to fear that the Legislature of next
winter Will attack the railroads as they
never have before.
TO meet this attack they have not
only had to secure a candidate for gov
ernOr who might succeed, but to enlist
Republican papers in their cause, and

MASON CITY, To-, Aug. 11.-Another
day in the hearing of the Brown poison
ing case has worn away. No stenog-
rapher being employed, progress is rem
dered very slow and tedious. The i'm
portant witnesses examined were Mrs.
Ackerman and Mrs. Bessie Lake, of
Longworthy, and J. D. Graves, city
marshal of Monticello. Mrs. Brown
was secreted at fhe house of the former
ten days, this time fearing arrest and
hiding at the approach of strangers.
Mrs. Lake testified that Mrs. Brown
told her that she was going to put poi
son into Hiram and end his miserable
life. The letters that passed between
the two, procured by the de-
tective, were introduced as evil
dence. Mrs. Lake teStifying that they
were exactly as she received them from
Mrs. Brown. The testimony, as given
by Marshal Graves, was objected to on
the grounds that it was consultation
between attorney and client and was Sc
cured by stealth. 1t was, however, adj
mitted. The consultation was with At
torney Welch, of Monticello. After re-
hearsing the crime he said to her:

OwAToNNA, Minn., Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic county convention to elect
delegates to the state convention was

CAN THIS BE TRUE q?

damn the interstate commerce law and
ridicule all the propositions of the Farm
ers' alliance looking to more stringent
railroad legislation.
These railroads, therefore, after Mer-
riam had announced his candidacy, not
only coddled McGill, who had been
willing instrument of theirs, but gave
Merriam encouragement, and finally
championed his cauSe-so much so that
their land site, claim and corporation
agents OF attorneys are now actively
booming him.
But Merriam and the shrewdest of
his friends have never felt quite con-
fident of his nomination. His horn
has been blown for all that it was
worth, but back of it has been host of
anxious schemers, who haven't seen
the sheep come out of the corn as they
wanted them 10.
1t would not do for the railroads to
get left with Merriam dead on their
hands, and hence they have taken
new step, by which in any event they
will come out on top in the Republican
state convention.
Their plan as outlined is this: A
careful canvass of the state has been
begun. Paid men have been sent into
every important locality to sound the
Merriam boom. These men also attend
county conventions and guage public
sentiment there.
They make up close and accurate
estimates of the McGill-Merriam-Sch
fer feeling in each locality, and forward
them to St. Paul. On these estimates
the basis of Merriam's strength is COM
puted, and the growth to which it may
attain. So close is the county being
secured that on the night of Sept. the
Merriam managers will know within
six votes OF all that he will receive the
next day on the first ballot.
Ii this calculation shows that Scheffer
has the lead. McGill second place and
Merriam third, then deadlock is TO be
precipitated in the hopes that when the
breakup comes Merriam will win.
If the signs are that he cannot profit
by the breakup, then his strength is to
go to McGill as far as it can be deliY-
cred.
If this break does not result in Nc
Gill's nomination, then the "grace''
stroke is to be given.
Merriam's name is to be withdrawn
and in favor of A. e. Rice.
The springing of Rice's name is ex-
pected to not only break the McGill
strength, but to divide the Scheffer
forces and ensure his nomination,
That is the scheme carefully hatched
and leaked out yesterday by sore
head who loved Merriam once, but now
loves no more.
In the event of Merriam having the
most votes in the convention on the first
ballot this will not be done. When the
struggle under these conditions has be.
come deadlock McGill is to nominate
him.
But it is not anticipated that Merriam
will lead in the convention. Hence, be-
hind his contest will be the name of A
E. Rice, and the determination TO pre-
sent it just as soon as it becomes evident
