Editor Granville S. Pease, of the
Anoka Union, visited the Capital city
yesterday and spent the day looking for
the effects of his last and greatest blow
struck for ex-Gov. McGill. He found
the state capitol firm on its foundations
and the state officials all transacting
business in their accustomed places.
Private Secretary TamS Bixby, suaye
and smiling as ever, welcomed him to
the executive department and chatted
long and pleasantly with the Anoka
man. All of the other appOintiYe officers
were in nOwISe disturbed by the McGill
breeze carried around by Editor Pease,
and some Of them were even cruel
enough to say that they did not believe
that the ex-governor is in it a little
bit" But Editor Pease was not at all
disturbed. Every paper in the Twin
Cities yesterday or the day previous
carried out TO the anxious thousands of
McGili men, scattered all over the
broad state of Minnesota, the glad It'd
ings that the ex-governor. although
rather coy and perhaps little unwlll-
ing, has consented to allow the nOmlna-
ton for governor TO seek him. This
was comforting TO Mr.. Pease, and re-
ward all sufficient for the many months
that he alone in the wilderness WAS cry
ing out, "McGill! MeGilI! be thou our
leader"
Il
But Editor Pease Is nothing if not en-
thusiastic. lie started out some SIX
months ago to nominate McGill as the
Republican candidate for governor, and
he has missed no opportunity tOadvance
the interests Of his man. His paper,
which is one of the Wide-aWake and en-
lerprisng kind. has struck great
many good, hard blows for the eX-gov-
ernOr, and has already started a cons;d
cradle newspaper boom for MIR.
McGill. Under these circum-
stances it was quite natural that
TO him should be gwen the honor and
privilege of making the announcement
of Mr. McGiII's candidacy. This intelli
gence was first printed in the Union of
"Wednesday morning, and from that
paper all the others received it. This
was scoop for the Union of which
MI. PeaSe felt not little proud. as he
admitted Yesterday. He really
expects the nomination of his man,
however. and says he will keep up the
fight.
"Ex Gov McGiII will be the Repub-
lican nominee this year." he said.

tain that he is the strongest man the
Republicans can name, and believe
the election will show this if he is the
candidate"

The state committee suggested in yes
terday'S GLOBE was referred to, and
Editor PeaSe at once warmed up. He
to some of the gentlemen in
whose company he was placed,
and vowed vengeance on those
who c0ncocted the list. Not being a
fighting man he did not care to seek
out the sinners and thrash them, but
rather insinuated that lie would open
the powerful batteries of the Union
upon them. Another sore point was
the name given him. His name is

not at all to his liking. Il have not |

Il
Chief Grain Inspector A.C. Claussen is |
rs shrewd political tigurer as is to be
found in tie state of Minnesota. He
believes, however, in action rather than
talk in politics. Yesterday afternoon
he was discussing the situation with
several friends. and laughing at the
wOrdy warfare being carried on by the
newspapers III, the various parts of the
state. II told a friend last evening""
he said, THAT there is nothing in deny
ing every newspaper story. The way
for man to do who wants ii nomination
is to get right out in the country and
commence work and begin gathering i'll
delegates. III other words, quit talking
and denying ones candidacy and hustle
for delegates"
Exhibitor James j. Green, of the lie
Sueur Sentinel, arrived in st. Paul yes
lerday and spent last evening chatting
with old friends at the Merchants. Mr..
Green is one Of the veteran Democratic
editors Of the state, and for the last
nineteen years has given the people in
