Things Political.
Secretary Dahl returned last Saturday
from the meeting of the state central
committee, at Grand Forks, and reports
an interesting session Of that body. The
meeting lasted a part of two days,
and was we'll attended, all of
the committeeman being present,
and all of the candidates, with
the exception of Laughlin, who sent
word that he had a thousand acres Of
grain to look after, and was unable to
get away. Chairman Robinson was
present, to aid in the outlining Of a plan
of campaign, which was thoroughly dis
cussed, alter the appointment Of the
executive committee and the fixing of
the campaign headquarters.
The discussion of the situation was
informal, and was generally participated
in. One question which was settled
upon was that Of exchanging speakers
with the Minnesota central committee.
This question has been agitated for
some days, and the committee favored
the plan. If the consent of the Mime
sofa committee can be secured, Con-
gresham johnson and Senator Worst
will make several speeches in Minnesota,
and in return, Governor Nelson will
speak at different places in North Da.
kota. Fargo will be n of the points,
Hi]lsboro or Mayville another, and if
possible, Park Piver or some place in
Walsh county will also be chosen as one
of the places where Minnesota's gov
ernor will speak.
Another question which was discussed
was that of arrangements for the carry
ing on of meetings in the several coun-
ties. No definite assignments of speak
ers were made, but the prelimlnaries
we're fully arranged. The Young Mems
Republican league came in for q good
word, and encouraging reports of the
work of this organization we're received.
President Knauf, W. L. Dunlap, and
others of the league were present, and
joined in the discussion. New leagues
have been formed all over the state, and
all of them with good membership lists.
Dunlap is doing some active work in
Barnes county, and has met with signal
success in promoting the interests of re-
publicism in this way. President Knauf
is also hard at work, and the results will
be evident this fall. A Young Mems
league is to be organized in Fargo to-
night, and there is general interest in
the love. The league will have a good
membership, and be of material aid to
the ticket.
Other matters of the usual description
pertaining to the question of campaign
were discussed, and the committee did a
little informal figuring as to the pros
poets in the state. There were present
representatives from nearly all counties
in the state, and each n gave as nearly
an unprecedented opinion as possible as
to the probable outcome in his locality.
These estimates were conservative, and
there was no disposition to claim more
than an actual opinion warranted. All
doubtful counties were SO classed, and
the result Of this concensus of opinion
was indicative of a good, round majority
for the state ticket. The candidates and
the committeeman feel confident, after a
careful survey of the outlook, aud feel
that with a clean, well-managed CAM
paign, the success of the republicans by
a good, fair majority Is assured. The
calculations of the committee were all
based upon a complete fusion between
the democrats and populists, such as is
likely to occur before election, and the
republicans feel that they can win the
fight.
