A. j. Boardman is of the opinion his
support will mean a great deal to the
Democratic nominee for mayor, l.. Il.
THAN. lie wants to be revenged
on the Republicans for turning
him down i'll their convention, and
is willing to make concessions" just
think of it, concessions. He says he
will support the Democratic mayoraity
nominee on one condition, and that is
that the Democrats indorse the Repub-
Ilcan nominee for member of the board
of education, DR.. T. f. Quinby.
Saturday the members of the commit
tee, which will meet this evening to
select Democratic candidates for the
various city boards. received personal
letters from A. j.. Boardman asking
them to call at the office of Lac
Stafford, at the Peoples thea
ter, at 4 O'Clock Sunday afternoon.
The invitations OF requests were
sent to twenty-three members of the
committee, and about seventeen of
them responded. When they reached
the office yesterday afternoon they
found Mr.. Boardman there, and also l..
II. Than. the Democratic candidate for
mayor. Probably none of them had any
ID what BOardman was going to
spring on them, but they soon found
out.
Mr.. Boardman announced that he was
friendly to MIR. Than, and intimated
that he would probably support him IN
his candidacy, but he wanted to ask one
thing III return from the Democracy.
he stated that the newspapers were
almost universally opposed to the
nomination OF DR.. Quinby for the
board of education, and he wanted to
show the press that it did not have
everything to say in Minneapolis pol
itics. He stated that DIR. Quinby was
nawar Of this movement, and it
seemed as il his only excuse for trying
to make this combine was the claim
that the newspapers were opposed 10
Quinby. He had no hesitation in ask
ing the members of the committee to
support Boardman, and did not think
that 1t was any great request to make
IN view of his support for Mr.. Than.
Mr.. Than intimated that he would
ike the Boardman support and there
fore he was Inclined to favor the propsi-
ton, but the committeeman found that
they had decidedly varied ideas on the
subject, and, after discussing the ques-
ton pro and con, decided not to take
any vote. Not a motion was made and
lne meeting feSult6pl nothing, unless
1T was to stir up talk for Quinby. Be-
fore the meeting adjourned the pledge
OF secrecy was imposed Oh each mem.
Der.
1t is not likely that Quinby will get
the Democratic Endorsement, as most of
the Democrats are in favor of nominat-
ing A. L. Ankeny. The Sc%andinavians
VIII howl if a Scandinavian is not put
on the ticket, and there is a strong SEN
timent in favor of indorsing Rev. M.
Falk Gjertsen on this account. When
Ankeny and Gjertsen were nominated
before they were on the Democratic
ticket, and some of the Democrats feel
that they cannot afford to go back on
what is practically their own ticket.
First Ward Democrats.
The First Ward Democratic club will
hold its regular meeting this evening al
Germania hall. Maint street and Tenth
avenue northeast. The club has a good
programme for the evening and invite
all voters TO be present and listen to o.
