washington county men were almost
all of the same opinion. That chal-

discussion of candidates last night. 1t
had perceptible effect. The recent
Hennepin convention was Canty con-
vention. If Hennepin really wants
Canty's nomination it must wheel
into line. That is why it is
extremely probable that Hennepin will
Summed up, the gubernatOrial situation
is this: Lawler has the lead. He is the
only out and out candidate in the field.
The talk for Wellington is largely
matter of talk. The opposition to Law
Ter is unOrganiZed and almost defes
concentration. Therein lies Lawler's
advantage. He is in the field, and his
supporters are solid. 1t looks as If the
opposing counties would fall into line
and support him, Hennepin county
bringing up in the rear.
The Judicial Ticket.
The only other side of the situation
that presents any evidence of cOmplica-
ton is that belonging to the judicial
part of the ticket. The contest for
places on this part of the ticket is bound
up with the gubernatoriaI race. AS
outlined before, Canty will fall If Law
not so certain but he will fall ANYHOW.
Hennepin has been inclined to dictate
too much.
Even should Canty be dropped Hen
nepin will not be without representa-
tive OH the ticket. Judge William
Lochren is slated. Buck, of Mankato.
will be nominated for supreme court
Judge. Mitchell will also be nominated.
Canty or Lochren will be the other can
didate. The odds are now in favor of
Lochren. The candidacy of Canty has
thrown the delegates into bit of a
row, which the nomination of Lociren
would have tendency to alay. So the
judicial ticket looks like Mitchell. Buck
and Lochren. There is no opposition to
Buck.
There is no sort of fight for the
place of lieutenant governor. E. +.
Champlin, of Blue Earth, can have it if
he will take it. He is the only man
mentioned. He will propabIy be nom
mated. He can also. in all probability,
be induced to accept, in spite of his re-
fusal to accept any office.
For attorney general there Is really
but one candidate, although others may
appear before the meeting of the COLI
vention. That one is Judge j. G.. Meth
away, of Saltwater. He is not looking
for the nomination. but will accept with
Wellington out of the way. Wellington
is out of the way. He told GLOBE man
so yesterday. He has practice just now,
he says, that will not allow him to run
for the place. That reason also NAV be
taken to apply to his gubernatorial
boom. Nethaway, or some other bright
young attorney from outside the Twin
Cities. will be nominated for attorney
general. Not word is heard about the

Other Possible Nominations.
Senator FL. G. Bull, of Cokato, will be
nominated for treasurer. There is no
opposition to him. 1t will come to him
by acclamation.
II. B. Martin. the Peoples party can
didate for secretary or state, was around
with the delegates he knew and getting
acquainted with more. He wants to be
nominated by the Democrats. and thinks
that he has good chance. He says so,
at least. The more probable nominee
is Senator Nelson, of Goodhue.
The man wanted for clerk of courts
has not been trotted out yet. The eau
cusing for a gubernatOriai candidate
and the discussion of the chances of the
men mentioned have crowded notice of
other places into the backgr ound. But
luC Ouc ldCt Iud1 StlChS OuG Ol all lndG

that there is no slate.
After Midnight.
Late last night Lawler's following
was growing with every minute. The
opposition to Lawler abandoned all eff
forts toward concentration. The Hen

tanning that they were still for Yelling

spoken. Hennepin county will surely
be for Lawler before the convention
meets. As the delegates sought their
rooms and left the Nlcollet lobby ten

acclamation was in the air.
