This is emphatically a field day in
Minnesota politics. The Republican
and Alliance state committees have been
called together in st. Paul, while the
Democratic state and Fifth district
congressional committees will confer
in Minneapolis. The meetings of the
Alliance and Republican bodies will be
for the purposes of organization, while
the objects of the two Democratic COM
mittees are the issuing calls for
a state convention that will
place in nomination full state ticket,
place candidate in the field against
Congressman Comstoek in the Fifth
district. The Republican committee
was appointed several days ago by
Chairman A. E. Rice, and is made up
as follows:
At Large-Joel p Heatwole, of North
field; G. b. Buchanan, of Buchanan; ID.
NJ. Clough, of Minneapolis; A. d.
Stephens, of Crookston; A. j. Greer, of
Lake City.
Tams Bixby, Goedhue county; Second
w Il
district, j.. III. RowleY, Olmsted;
Fourth district, John Gondnow,
Hennepin; Fifth district, w. 3.
Parsons. Dodge Center; Sixth dis
trjct, George Knudson, Watertown;
Seventh district, NJ. ID. Taylor, Stearns;
Eighth district, j. Fl. Alderman, Carver:
Ninth district, w. w. Rich, Lyon;
Tenth district, R. E. Thompson, Pres
ton; Eleventh district. John b. Sutphln,
st. Louis; Twelfth district, A. L.
Koerner, Meeker; Thirteenth district,
John Hutton, Cottonwood; Fourteenth
district, G. c. Winchester, Marshall;
| Fifteenth district, j. j. Howe, Crow
| Wing, and Sixteenth district, F. E.
KenastOn, Wilkin.
While this committee has been called
| together to organize, there is really
nothing for it to do. At the time it was
appointed everything was done. Joel
| Heatwole and Tams Blxby were to be
| made chairman and secretary respect
| ively, and, while they may make few
| of the new members of the committee
| believe that the committee as whole
| will map out the campaign, those who
are ION" know perfectly we'll that
joel and Tams will do as was
| planned in the beginning, all the real
| work of the campaign. The session of
this committee is very apt to be quite
| brief, and the attendance is very apt to
be even more abbreviated, as there were
not a haIf-dozen Of the new committee
men in town up to late hour last
evening. Among those who are here,
| county; George Knudson, of Watonwan.
and John Hutton, of Cottonwood.
| Enough more will come in in the morn
| ing to carry out the programme as laid
| out by Joel, Tams and the governor.
For some time the Merriam organs
! have been wasting considerable space
| in an effort to cOnv ince their readers
that the Farmers Alliance had gone to
| pieces, and was unable to find men to
| place on its state committee. These or
| ganS can now take rest. Not only has
| President Hall found men to accept
| places on the state committee, but he
| has found very good and capable ones.
In fact, the committee, as announced
| last evening, will compare more than
| faverably with any committee of any of
the two old parties appointed in this
state in recent years. 1t is made up as
| follows:
/ Sixteenth district, Darlington Phelps,
of Stevens county; First district, Carl
Judsen, Dakota; Second district, j. G.
Meyers. Ramsey; Fourth district, I. III.
| Lucas, Hennepin; Fifth district, j. III.
Roberts, Dodge; Sixth district, Eric
| Olson, Martin; Seventh district, G. w.
| Brandborg, Otter Tail; Ninth district,
| Albert Warner, Lincoln; Tenth district,
G. W. Sprague, Fillmore; Eleventh dis
trict, A. 0. Griggsby, st. Louis;
Twelfth district, A. Wall, Swift; Thir
| teenth district, Jay La Due, Rock;
1 ,,,%<, Of
| Norman; Tenth district, A. L.. Gardner,
| Mower; Twelfth district, John Kohs,
Chippewa.
| The alliance committee will organize
with the election of Darlington Phelps
as chairman and some outside party as
| secretary. Mr.. Phelps was one OF the
| organizers of the Stevens county al
| lance, and was for the first six years
| it's president. lie is man who posses
| ses marked ability as an organizer and
worker. He has never held an office,
and always declined to be candidate
| for anything, and cannot, therefore, be
called sorehead or Off1ceseeker. He
is thoroughly in earnest i'll his belief
that combination of the farmers and
labOrers of the state can and sooner or
later will carry the day. His selection for
/ the arduOuS position OF chairman of this
/
| could have been made.
Besides eiecting a chairman it is likely
| that the committee will decide upon the
matter of opening headquarters. Many
| of the members of the committee favor
Minneapolis as the central point, and 1t
! is quite likely that the chairman and
secretary will have their offices in the
Mill City. The matter of funds will
| also be discussed. and ssplan of cam
paign" discussed. The meeting will
| take place at the Merchants at o. clock.
The Democratic state committee is set
down to meet at the West hotel in Min
neapolis at 10 o'clock this morning. A
| full attendance is expected, and in that
case the following gentlemen will be
present:
Chalrman-James w. Lawrence, Min
| neapolis.
| At Large-M. W. Glenn, Minneapo-
| lis; Daniel LaWler. St. Paul.
| First district. Z. G. Stringer, of Hast
| ings; Second, William Hamm, of Ram
sey; Third, III. c. Sheppard, of Winona;
Fourth, c. M. Foote. of Hennepin;
| Fifth. S. l.. Croker, of Rice; Sixth, A.
r. Pau, of Blue Earth; Seventh, Mar
/ TN Shea, of Otter Tail; eighth, vacant;
| Ninth. NJ. Mullen, of Brown; Tenth, w.
H. Harries, of Houston; Eleventh. r.
| n. Marble. of st. Louis; Twelfth, A. E.
| Arnes, of Chippewa; Thirteenth, A. M.
