Republicans Tired of Their Loaf
Bunch or Political Pointers.
The Republicans are still worrying
about the Grimes affair in the Eighth
ward. The Republican joint executive
committee for the management of the
campaign has subcommittee at work
investigating the matter. A. E. Allen,
resident of the Eighth, has been with
drawn from the investigating commit
tee, and John GoodnOw substituted for
him. The Republicans don't like to adj.
nit that there is anything wrong
with Grimes, but they are investi-
eating just the same. They cannot
afford to treat Grimes in such manner
as will offend Thomas Lowry. for the
Republicans need him this year, and
they cannot afford to ignore the disaffec-
ton in the Eighth ward. They are try
ing to cloak the anti-GrimeS movement
by saying that it is being fOmented by
Democrats. lnasmuch as the Eighth
ward Republicans started the anti
Grimes movement voluntarily, this as
sertion will not go far with them.
There is chance that Grimes may be
pulled off the ticket, but only chance.
The Republican committeeman are
moving heaven and earth to induce
Eighth ward Republicans to swallow
Grimes ''for the good of the party"
But they won't swallow. Grimes now
goes about the streets armed with an
affidavit from DR.. ii. IL. Kimball to
prove that he was sick in bed when the
Rand ordinance was voted on, and did
not try to dodge vote OH it, as charged
by the anti-GrimeS men.
The Democratic city committee is
called to meet at O'Clock this after
noon in the rooms of the Hennepin
Democratic league, New York Life
building. The committee will organize
at this meeting and decide upon head
quarters. The city committee will prob
ably go in with the county committee,
at 253 First avenue south. The county
committee is all ready for business. All
day yesterday carpenters were busy
with hammer. saw and plane, putting
the headquarters in shape and dividing
it up in committee rooms. A big blue
sign. democratic Headquarters"
hangs above the door.
The Republican joint executive COM
mittee, composed of members of the
city, county and congressional commit
tees. has organized as the Republican
campaign committee. 1t has taken
rooms in the Window block, and will
meet there every morning at 9 O'Clock.
John Goodnow is chairman of the hall
committee for public meetings. Col.
Charlie w. Johnson will boss the liter
airy bureau. George w. Marchant and
John Goodnow will look after feeding
news to reporters.
The Republicans have opened their
city and county campaign. All the
candidates Oh the county ticket have
gone into the far northern end of the
county 10 begin the work-taken to the
woods, as it were. Their anxiety to
get under cover is encouraging to the
DemocratS-mOre encouragement than
could have been affected thus early in
the campaign. William Henry EuStiS
opened his campaign Tuesday night by
going as far toward the country as he
could and still be within the clty's
limits. His opening speech Indicated
that he intends to run his campaign on
small talk to the ladies, sweet smiles
and mixed metaphors. His first speech
but emphasized what those who know
him well have long known-that he is a
back number. He spoke as If he
thought ordinary, common working
people would be unable to understand
the zeal issues of the campaign. Mr..
EuStis is a candidate who hasn't
learned that voters read and think now
adays IN Minneapolis.
