They Are Asking no Favors
at the Hands Of Mayor
Wright.
Larger Game Is in Sight, and
They Are Swift In
Pursuit.
Nelson's Supporters Making
Claims That Seem Rather
Above Their Strength.
Some Peculiarities Of the Call
Under Which the COnven-
ton Will Meet.

Clme maze no demands on Mayor
Wright" remarked one of the Fourth
ward leaders of the Kid element yester-.
day. when he was elected predic-
tiOnS were made that we would be after
everything in sight. While we did more
to get the Republican party on its feet
than all the men who have been de-
nouncing US, we have asked nothing,
and do not propose to. We are Repub-
licans first, even if we do not quite come
up to the standard fixed by certain peo-
ple."
1t is fact that the younger. or skid"
element of the local Republican party
has been keeping very quiet since the
spring election. The leaders have made
no demands and propose that the mayor
shall come to them, rather than they
forced to gs to him. OF course, it might
have made little difference in the result,
as far as appointments are concerned,
had Henry Johns, the fair-haired attor-
ney. Darius f. Reese, George Lamb,
Fred Zollman, Charlie Chapel and all
their friends united in demands for rec
Ognition. The mayor went into Office
preiudiced against the men who had
favored Representative Ames in the
city convention. For this reason the
course of the kids has been wise
one, especially so when the future is
brought into consideration.
"What are the Kids after?'
This Is question that has been asked
frequently of late and as the various
meetings Of the Republicans take place,
their purposes
Are Being Unfolded.
At the meeting of the Republican
oOunty oom nittQQ in chairman 7 Ouon.
stein's store the other other evening,
Darius Reese, it will be remembered,
made speech in which he called at
tention of the members of the COM
mittee to the necessity of sendinl a
strong delegation 10 the legislature at
the coming election.
I'VE need legislation for the benefit
of this city," cried Reese, as he thought
of the few offices that are out of the
reach of the new administration.
And the kids desire to be sent to
the legislature by the Republicans of
Ramsey for the purpose of securing the
passage of these needed laws" The
general public might be inclined to
doubt the value of any reform leglsla-
ton championed by the representatives
of the ''rotten borOughs" of Ramsey
county Republicanism, but they will be
given candidates by this element with
out doubt. The county Offices, as we'll
as the ten legislative seats to be filled
by the voters of this county, are being
surveyed with grasping eyes by the
''kids'' at the present time, and divis-
ion has been arranged that takes in a
goodly number of them.
In the first place, the election of F.
w. Zollman as county chairman was the
first step toward placing him in the field
for the Republican nomination for pros
ecuting attorney. This, of course. is
all the Second ward can expect, as far
as the regular county ticket is con-
cerned. There is, however, a member
of the lower house of the legislature to
be chosen by the ward, and man has
been booked for the place. His name is
Darius f. Reese. Representative w. l..
AmeS may not care to be thus thrust
aside. but the new county chairman has
so fixed the slate, and it will have to
stand. 1t is not generally known that
Mr.. Reese is resident of, the Second
ward. Indeed, it is not quite certain
that he desires the voters of the Fourth
ward to know this. but it is fact, nev-
ertheless. A mans residence, according
| to the statutes of Minnesota, is fixed at
His Lodging Place.
Mr.. Reese takes his meals in the
| Fourth ward, but he lodges in the
| Second, and he is, therefore. an eligible
| candidate for the legislative nOmina-
| ton.
Henry Johns is looking with longing
on the seat in the legislature filled by
| c. n. Bell two years ago, and will
shortly be openly in the field for it.
George Lamb is tired of holding places
on campaign committees and will take
| take the nomination in the Third ward
| and hrnak Intn tho cfotn
with his friends Johns and Reese.
Charlie Chapel is to be given the nomi-
| nation for sheriff on this slate. The
| Fifth wards support will be asked, and
| it is expected, as all the boys favor the
nomination of Col. A. r. Kiefer for
congress. The kid ticket as made out
| up to the present time reads as follows: !:
For Cor gress-Col; A; r, kiefer.
County Attorney-F. w. Zollman.
| Member House Second ward) = D. F.
| Reese.
Member (Third ward).-George Lamb.
| Member (Fourth ward9-Henry Johns.
Sheriff Charles Chapel.
The three wards do not control the
| county convention to be sure, but they
! dO settle the question of who shall be
their candidates for the lower house of
| the legislature, thus insuring the nom-
| nations of Reese, Lamb and Johns in
case they continue to feel that they
want the nominations, as no one doubts
their ability to
Control the Primaries
| in these words. In the struggle for the
nomination for county attorney, the
| possession of the wards by Mr. Zollman
would almost certainly insure his nomi-
nation, for the reason that there will be
great many candidates for the various
| places. and man with forty out of
little over 100 delegates is in posi-
ton to make advantageous trades.
The ''kids" are all taking. "a hand in
the contest for the Republican guberna-
lleve Knute Nelson will be the nominee
and they are for him to man.
