parties. That VIII make the primaries
duiet, as has been pointed out by the
GLOBE before. There is still, however,
one little matter that may cause some
skirmishing to be done. The word has
been passed around that Mr.. Winston
desires to be made the permanent chair
man of the county convention. That
may cause some opposition to him to
arise. 1t has been conceded that Mr..
Winston is entitled to the place of dele
gate at large from Hennepin county to
the national convention. Unjust be adj
mitted that there is just a little
feeling against his being made
the permanent chairman Of the
county convention. Hennepin county
Democrats are VIGOROUSLY independent.
They have demonstrated that on more
than one occasion. They do not like to
see one man have too much honor.
There is feeling that Mr.. Winston
should be contented with going to Chi
cago as delegate at large from the state
of Minnesota, which is no inconsidera-
BILE honor in itself The election of

the merely honorary position of chair
man of the county convention would, as
matters stand now, be the wisest course
to pursue. This is the feeling that I'M
deniably exists, and his inSistance upon
being made chairman of the county con-
vention may initiate against Mr.. Win
ston. The wire pullers may talk and
boast as they please; every little clique
may tell how they are going TO do up"
the other fellows and show them where
they stand; but the masses of the DEM
ocrats who do not stand around Oh the
windy street corners and talk politics
are the people who count in the prima-
ries and in the convention. In this case
they are solidly opposed to squabbling.
That class of men will constitute the
majority IN the convention, and it is
safe to say that they will go to the con-
vention prepared to suppress and prop
erly rebuke any factional fights. Under
the circumstances, it looks as if this ele-
ment would be particularly strong in
the convention of next Tuesday. If
signs do not fail, the man or men who
try to create any factional feeling or to
monopoliZe the hOnorS, will be dealt
with summarily.

tonight as to where they should vote at
the primaries. If they are living where
they lived at the last election they know
in what precinct they vote. The pre-
cinct boundaries have not been changed
since. But the polling place may have
been changed. In most cases the pri-
maries will be held at the same places
where the voting booths were located at
the last election. Some few will be
changed. In case a man is III doubt he
should take pains to look up his pre-
cinct committeeman to find out where
the primaries will be held. That is his
only way out. He should think enough
of having voice in the primaries to
take this little trouble. Some of the
changes in the voting places were indi-
Gated in the GLOBE yesterday morning,
and some more are given here:
First ward, Seventh precinct. caucus at 3O1
Fourth avenue northeast at 1880
Third ward. Thirteenth precinct, caucus at
613 North Fifth street.
Third ward. Fourteenth precinct, caucus at
COL North Third street at 1880.
Seventh ward First precinct caucus at
2S45 Ninth avenue south at O'Clock.
A. j. Boardman is one man who does
not believe that the local convention
committees and the people OF Mime
apolis generally are doing more than
they ought to do, or more than they
can do in connection with the coming
of The convention in Minneapolis. He
offers few suggestions to the citizens
and the committees as follows:
"ThS scheme to have the Vermont
colony and the Maineites and the VOL
verines and former residents of other
states entertain the visitors from their
old homes is all right as far as it goes,
but there will be good many here from
Oregon, Washington, Montana, Dakota
and the Southern and Western states
from which there has been little or no
immigration to this vicinity. These
people will be lost unless there is some
one to show them around. Again, there
is the matter of street display. We
used to spare neither money nor trOu-
BILE in Illuminating NicOllet avenue dur
ing the exposition or state fair. which
was seen only by a comparatively small
transient company, and visitors from
this and the Immediately adjoining
states. Now on this occasion we will
have here crowds of people from every
quarter. Every state III the Union will
have its delegates and its visitors, and
not the least important, it's newspaper
correspondents, from whom display OF
this kind during this convention would
receive special attention.
"The same may be said in favor of a
trades display. While the season will
not allow of anything like the harvest
festival, it is possible TO have All exhibit
ton of the manufactured products of
the city. Have trades parade, not too
long, but perhaps to take All hour or
two i'll passing given point. All these
things will be new to the visitors TO a
political convention which has usually
met at Chicago, and has been left to
take care of itself as it best might.
Another thing that ought to be
looked after is private decorations. A
little bunting is a glorious thing, if
nicely draped, and flags and banners
| count for more than they are usually
credited"
