IT IS NERRIAM'S OWN.
The New Republican State
Committee Something Of
a Personal Affair.
None But Tpusty Retainers Of
the Governor Are Given
Places.
Ramsey County "Kids" Badly
Turned Down in the New
Deal.
Old Party Leaders Disappear
Almost Entirely This
Time.

The "kids," who have for some time
been running the Republican party of
Ramsey county, were left beautifully
in the makeup of the new state conf
mittee announced by Chairman Rice
yesterday. Indeed. SO decidedly were
they sat upon that even Ramsey county
Republicans were given cool slap in
the face to emphasize the blow at the
kids" and make it so pronounced that
the opposing element in the local Re-
publican fold would be sure to take
notice of it, and return to the fold. For
the first time in many years Ramsey
county has but one man on the Re-
publican state committee, while Henne-
pin county is given two places. ~.
1.-The reasons which conspired to re-
duce Ramsey cOunty'S representation
on the state committee from two to one
are quite interesting" remarked a
well-known local Republican politician
last evening. 1.-THE facts are simply
this: Neither faction of the local party
could object to the appointment of
Freaney, who is generally regarded as a
frstrate man. but beyond this there was
no way Of making another harmonious
appointment. The kids were push
ing several of their number, among
these being Squire W. II. R. McMartin,
of the West side; Gen. w. Lamb. Dari-
bus f. Reese and several others. Had
any of these been named there would
have been row i'll local political cir
cles, and so the governor and his friends
took the easiest way out of the diff
Guilty, and gave Ramsey county no mem
Der at large"
That the kid" leaders are sore goes
without saying. They are, in fact, very
sore and very tired, and do not hesitate
to point to the names of ClOugh and
Goodnow, Minneapolis. two members of
the committee, and ask why were we
not treated as we'll as the Mill City. But
this wailing isn't doing them OF their
cause much good. They are left, and
that is all there is to it at the present
time.
This action of the governor only con-
firms a prediction made by the GLOBE
some time ago to the effect that there
was scheme on foot to wrest the local
Republican organization entirely out of
the hands of Nichols. Reese, Johns. Nc
Donald, McMartin, Dollman and Willie
Nichols. This scheme is still
on the tapis, and will be
sprung in the coming contest for
delegates to the county convention,
which will meet to place county ticket
in nomination. Among the leading Re-
publicans of the city there is very
strong feeling against the men who are
now all-powerful in the party councils
in this county. This class is ripe for a
revolt that will drive the kids" to the
rear. The new Republican state CEN
trail committee is made up as follows:
