sis there anything in the report that

has never been the slightest foundation

Fifth district leader Winked one of his
eagle eyes in a way that would have
given Gov. Merriam cold Chill had he
seen it.
"What do you. think of the early date
of the Republican convention. Mr.. Gil
man?
Il don't know anything about it ex-
cept that it is to be held earlier than de-
manded by the public interests, and
earlier than WAS needed for any honest
purpose. However, / am out OF politics

What do you think of the outlook?''
"Well, notice they are doing consid-

the Democratic candidate, and all I've
got to say is that Bierman will be a
dangerous candidate for his opponent
Good bye" and the 'Stearns county

A good story anent the state railway

pointmentS reduced it about 1915 per
cent. Next came Gov. Merriam, who
coolly chipped' off 6625 per cent at the
reduced point where it was left by Gov.

Senator D. w. ,HiXson took the even

will commence to repair his fences.
His enemies are very active up there,
but the senator takes the thing very
quietly 7and.seeuIs to have lots of con-
tidence in his ability to come out on
top.
ssForconvincing proof that there is a
substantial boom being worked up for
Auditor Braden for the Republican
nomination fol. governor, one need go
no further than the hysterical article
OH Braden published in an, evening
| paper of the Merriam perSuaSi0n,' re-
| marked a prominent Republican poll
| tician at the Merchants last evening.
''The article was really intended asa
warning for Capt. Braden to declare
| himself not candidate under penalty
of mourning the displeasure of Gov.
| Merriam and his friends. But they are
| hacking at the wrong man, for Auditor
| Braden Doesn't restlunderithe necessity
| of bowling to either Gov. Merriam erthe
pine ring. Neither can defeat him for
a denomination for his present office if
| he decides that he wants itagain and re-
| fuses to accede to the requests OF his
| friends, who are insisting that he enter
the field'for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion."
Hon. o. B. Turrell. the Redwood Falls
| banker and eX-member Of the lower
| house Of the state legislature, was in
the city yesterday on business. Mr..
| Turrell was prominent candidate for
| the Republican nomination for congress
| in 1886, but was defeated in the
convention through several clev-
erIy designed tricks executed by
the friends of Congressman John
Lind. In that year there were {
fioSt.of candidates for the nomination
nearly every one of the twenty counties
| in the district having a '.fayorite son.
The eandidates-at least Mr.. Lind and
Mr.. Turrell did sO-agreed that >eacf
man. should have.hiS OWN county with
out fight. The Redwood county
statesman, surprising that this agree
ment would be carried out, paid little
attention to his own bailiwick, and con-
fined his work to other parts of the dis
trict. Unfortunately for him, there are
two distinct sections of Redwood ecoun
ty. which do not at allst times harmOnlze
and a few, days before the daysfor hold
i ing the primaries the friends OF MI
Lind began vigorous fight in the anti
Redwood Falls section of the county
and. TO the surprise of Mr.. Turrell anC
his friends, ecarfiedtiIe day. This. prae
stically forced Mr.. Furrell outiof til
race. and made .LindiS nomination GER
tain a sMankatO-a few weeks. later.
