Last night the Democrats of Henne-
pin county held their caucuses and
elected delegates to the county conven-
ton. Last night an evening paper Ell
deavored to create the impression that
the Democracy was in the same condi-
ton as the staff OF the paper contain ng
the matter-chaotlc. But the article
was misleading. The mere fact that
the primaries were quiet was no evil
dence that the Democrats had nothing
to hold primaries fol. The primaries
were uneventful because the Democrats
OF the county are united. That became
evident last night. 1t is certain
that p. B. Winston will accept the guber
material nomination if offered it. The
Democratic convention that will meet
Thursday will be a Winston convention.
The chances are that the state delega-
ton will be instructed for Winston.
That is the way it looks now. although
the situation may change before next
Thursday morning. Should the delega
ton 20 uninstructed it will still be for
Winston solidly if he be in the field.
With Winston out of the race it is more
than possible that boom may be started
for LOchren for governor. Judge Loeb
rem has had little boom several times.
That he has not been nominated before
this is not because the Democrats do not
think him strong man.
1t is because Lochren has never
sought the place. But he is strong with
the Hennepin county Democrats, and it
need be no surprise if his name be pro-
in tie state convention. will exert a
strong influence upon the nominations.
1t seemed to be the almost unanimous
sentiment around the polling places last
night that Judge Thomas Canty should
be nominated for judge of the supreme
court. The delegation will probably be
instructed to vote for Canty. His nom
nation by the Peoples party will in
sure his election. The Democrats of
Hennepin county are for him. 1t is
also probable that Daniel Buck will he
Endorsed.
The Republicans will hold two con-
ventions today. The congressional will
meet in the morning and the county in
the afternoon. The morning gathering
will be tame. 1t will not last over an
hour or so. The usual committees will
be appointed in the usual way. The
temporary organization will be maze
permanent. The committee will report
the stereotl ped Republican platform,
and it will be adopted. Loren Fletcher
will be nominated by reclamation.
Loren will make speech and
the convention will adjourn. The
afternoon session will be lively.
The Nelson men are in the major
ity and they seemed disposed to carry
matters with a high hand. They will
insist that an instructed delegation be
sent to st. Paul. Hennepin county
never has cut much of figure in the
state convention of the Republican
party. and this fact will he urged as
reason why the county should send
solid delegation this year, SO that it
may WELD some influence and also ride
in the band wagon. The McGil and
Ives men, what few of them have been
elected, will unite in opposing this
scheme. They want the delegates to
go TO the convention foot free, hoping
that their candidates may, in that way,
get few delegates on the delegation.
The fight will be hot and may be long.
