board is termed, after the next legisla-

willing to make the sacrifice. His youth,
good looks and the small "keg of nails''
that he can tap whenever he wishes are
the principal recommendations of this
young mans candidacy; besides, he
thinks the city has been run in an ice
wagon-like shape-all in lump. not
modern enough to suit the progressive
people who live here. There will be
lots of candidates in the field before
June thick as flies at the East side
dump; and that is where they will all
find themselves after election.
And still " Our Gene'' has made no
appointments yet. The attorney gen.
eral at Washington, recognizing
Genes" inability to run the Office for
time, at least, has appointed q. N.
Baxter, late district attorney, as tempo
rary assistant to Gene" to show him
how to draw up pleadings fit for
United States court. MIR. Baxter, of
course, has no objections to helping out
lone of the brightest attorneys iu the
state" as long as Uncle Sam foots the
bills. Some offices are great Sinecures,
and this is evidently one for Gene" He
will draw the salary of district attorney
and Mr.. Baxter do most of the work.
Carmen n. Smith is still in the race
for assistant United States district at
torney, as is also Judge Terrence. Both
are working hard, of course, but none
of them seem to be making any great
Roadway. "Gene' has given it out cold
that he is not going to make any
changes in the office for some time. If
he means until he has mastered the du-
ties of the office, it will be some time
before Carmen or the judge will sign
their first voucher for salary received
from Nuncle Sam. There are fears
party that the Democrats will be in
power again before they get a chance of
tasting the sweets of office.
The Republican party in Minneapolis
will be very much crippled for party
organ unless that back bill for CAM
paign expenses is paid before the ''roses
bloom again." The Tribune's opposi-
ton would hurt no politician. and it's
support would he equally as harmless.
The Times cannot be regarded of MUCH
account until it gets the city printing,
when it can declare itself. The Star,
being mugwump, cannot do anything
but get on the fence and howl; while the
Journal, which goes into campaign for
the money there is in it, and would sup
port Scrap Iron Bill for mayor If he had
the wherewith to meet its demand, as
readily as it would c. a. Pillsbury,
threatens to go over to the Democracy
unless that few hundred dollars which
the Republican city committee has so
far failed to come up with, is paid soon.
Some time the Journal may forget itself
and denounce the Democrats because.
as it used to say, they were in favor of
revenue only" Then it would be in
order for 1t to explain why it soured on
the Minneapolis Republicans.
Ed Sumner, the man with voice Of
the deep. was in bad humor the other
day when friend asked him how his
candidacy for postmaster was getting
along. Ed said not word, walked on,
and suon met another attorney named
Churchill, whom Ed had suspected for
some time of putting some straws in his
way TO the big, fat Office in the public
building. The meeting resulted in
blows, and now Eds enemies have
taken advantage OF his little mishap,
and it may tell seriously against him.
Some of his friends think he has with
drawn from the race, but the general
impression is that he Is ''still in the
ring.n
Aid, Tom Downs says he worked
against the fee bill for both city and
county officers in the legislature, and
doesn't fancy newspaper intimations to
the contrary.
Where does young Mr.. Bailey keep
himself now? Can it be that heis using
the DOrsett conduits for VIII Steele's
candidacy for mayor? The "silk-stock-
ing" element started out several years
ago in Minneapolis to run everything,
in politics, but the liquor license was
then only Sl00. and as there was more
liberty then than now there were conse-
Quently more saloons. so the job was zoo
much, and number of the leaders were
taken home in hacks. 1t was something
to be remembered by those who wit
messed the proceeding. and since then
few of the participants ever attended a
political meeting in full dress. If
young Mr.. Bailey wants to groom young
Mr.. Steele'S candidacy for mayor, he
must first see that the juvenile candi-
date lets his beard grow so that bis en-
emIes will not know him. -.
How is the Republican state league
getting along? This is an everyday
question that is put hundred times a
day by such men as "Uncle" Loren and
others of his class to such men as Ed
Davenport, who assumed control of
things last fall. That deficit of So, 600 is
a wet rag on Republican ardor. When
the league conveues-which it will in a
few days-there will be grand old time
for some people. There promises to be
| the greatest time on record. Tams
BiXby is preparing arguments to show
that he should have interest or his back
salary, and 'Col." Tim Byrnes. it
is said, will deliver a philippe on
"How to Run League Under
the Sea and Not Get Wet"
while the treasurer will read paper on
1.-THE Responsibilities of My Office" 1t
will be good time for those who can
iron clothes we'll, for great deal of
| dirty linen is going to be washed. Bixby
will see that the wringer is kept work
ing during the session.
By the way, did you notice that Col.
Graves has had important business at
Washington during the recent election
at the Zenith City?
