material question. 1t has been said that
the Hennepin county delegation will be
solid for E. t. Champiin for governor
and that this movement in the interest
of Champin is the outgrowth OF antag-
onism to Michael Doran. Nothing can
be further from the truth than both as
sertions. The Champlin boom is a
private little boom, conceived by
small coterie and incubated under their
personal supervision, 1t has nothing
of the nature of child of the Hennepln
delegation. 1t is possible, 'of course,
that some of the members of the Henne-
pin delegation are in favor of the nomi-
nation of Champlin. In fact, it is GER
tain that some Of them are out and out
Champlin men. 1t is none the less true
that many members Of the delegation,
and it appears majority, are Ill favor
of the nomination of Daniel LAWYER.
The LAWYER sentiment is strong III the
delegation and is growing every minute.
The Hennepin delegation numbers
many young men. The young fellows are
all liz favor Of the nomination of Law
ler They want to see the younger ele-
ment recognized. That is one reason
for their LAWYER faith. Another is that
they believe Lawler to be a strong
candidate. They know he is an able
young man, brilliant speaker, and a
clean candidate. They feel certain that
he will lead the Democrats of Mime
sofa through hot, enthusiastic, swing
ing campaign. SO they Will support
him.
You can say that Dan LAWYER will
have good many friends in the Hen
nepid delegation" said one of the dele
| gates last night 'tHe is good man,
and we will stand by him. These fell
lows who ale shouting that the delega-
| ton is fer Champlin do not know what
| they are talking about. Some of us are
| for Lawler, and we know how to make
ourselves heard. We may not have a
majority of the delegation, although L
believe we have. The delegation being
bound by the unit rule, we VIII be COM
PEELED to vote for Champlin il the other
| fellows have a majority, but we will
show them fight, and we Will show
them that we can work for Lawler, even
though we be compelled to vote for
some other man."
T. G. Hoibrook, the young private
secretary of the mayor, has little
mayoralty bee. He is in the hands OF
his friends with regard TO the success
sion. HolbrooK has good many friends
who are pushing his claims and offering
a good many reasons why he should be
nominated; good reasons, too. One point
that is urged is that the young men of tile
| party should be recognized. uolorook
| has had good deal Of experience in
city affairs He was comptroller of the
citysfor three years and made an eX
| cellent record as a public officer. Iwt
wears ago he was nominated for county
auditor after having been defeated fol
the nomination for comptroller. lie re
fused the nomination for auditor anC
was afterward made secretary of thu
city committee. He has been Mayo
Winston'S private secretary during tn'
MAYORS term. On his record III theS'
various positions Holbrook's candldac.
: will be based. 1t cannot be denied tina
l it makes a good foundation for can
didacy. But he must overcome goo
deal of opposition before he can b
. nominated. One of the objections tina
e will be urged against him is that it vii
