The Hennepin delegation is at sea in
rial candidate. 1t is further from land
today than it has been since the conven-
ton. The delegation will meet toinor-
row afternoon at the NicolIet, and will
endeavor to settle upon candidate,
but the likelihood of its coming
to an agreement is remote. The
unit rule governs the delega-
ton, of course, and what the
majority says must be accepted by the
other members of the deleg alton; but
the existence Of the unit rule will not
prevent other members of the delega-
ton from talking and working for their
favoriteS.
AS the GLOBE stated yesterday morn
ing, Dan Lawler has good many
friends on the delegation. 1t looks now
as if he would not have majority. but
he will have strength. One fact that
handicaps LAWYER is that most of
the Minneapolis delegates are in
favor of nominating Cy Yelling
ton for attorney general. They
do not like to see two places on
the ticket given to one city. That will
operate to certain extent against Law
Ter. One point is being made by the
opponents TO LAWYER which is likely to
bring strength to him from outside of
the Twin Cities. and which may add
to his following even III the Hen
nepin delegation. That point is
the census war. Lawler was
the st. Paul side of the case during the
trial Of tho cppcrc apumpratnrS Some
of the Hennepin delegation have started
the cry that Minneapolis mens cannot
afford to support a man who took any
part against this city in that dispute.
This move Is looked upon as dishonor-
able by more than one Minneapolis
man. 1t is urged by them that the
census war was disgraceful affair, at
the best. and that the sooner it Is for
gotten the better. They cannot afford
to countenance the opening of old
wounds-and such woundS-at this
time.
The Champlin men were thrown off
their feet yesterday by the announce
ment that their chosen leader would re-
fuse to accept the nomination. That
has scattered them somewhat, and they
know not where they stand now. While
the regular meeting of the delegation
was called for tomorrow afternoon, 1t is
given out that the delegation Will meet
this evening. The arrangement of some
entertainment for the visiting delegates
is said to be the object of the meeting
tonight. Lawler men think it means
caucus of the antiLawler element to
unite upon some other candidate.
Joseph I. Mannix, so long and so
favorably known in Minneapolis as a
newspaper man. has decided to enter
politics. He is candidate for the nomi-
nation for county auditor at the hands
of the Republican convention. ManniX
has been urged to enter the field
by some of the best known and
most influential Republicans in
the city of Minneapolis. He held
off until he was certain that he could
command good deal of support of men
who usually command the county. He
is thought to be strong with the labor
ing classes, he having been a union
printer for years. HIS opponents are
Clayton X. Cooley and Z. J. Minor.
ManniX looks like winner as against
these candidates.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon the Republican county committee
to have the convention called earlier
than usual. The candidates who were
first in the field and who have been
hustling the hardest are the men who
favor the early convention. They want
to get into the convention before
later candidates have a chance
to weaken their chances. The candi-
dates want the primaries call for one
week from next Saturday, and the con-
vention for the following Monday. The
mass of the voters favor putting off the
convention until the following week.
The sentiment is against the candidates
because the date asked for by them is
