pected tnat If Warner remains true TO
his expressed convictions
MeCIeary Will Have a Vote.
The Second district delegation, how
ever. is not. apparently, favorable to
his candidacy. Mr.. Warner. VINO for
merly resIued in the Second district,
attempted yesterday TO convince some
members of that delegation that they
were disloyal 10 their constituency In
falling TO support MeCleary, and de-
elared that his pride in the Second dis
tTict led him 10 support McClearY. Sem
ator Day expressed some surprise that
Mr. Warmers Second district pride had
slipped a cog when he came out Tor
Van SAINT for speaker, and this little
outbArst was followed by a period OF
sweet golden silence.
1t was currently reported az a late
hour last night that McCleary's with
drawal would be formally announced at
once. and that the professor himself
Would land in the WashbUTn camp. He
was interviewed on this point by sew
eTal members and reporters. but stub
bOrnly refused TO commit himself fur
ther than to say that no immediate &C
ton was contemplated.
Through all the day Senator Wash
burn retained his air OF serene conf
/ deuce. was jovial, self>c0ntaiued and al
his ease. Nelson face wore that same
stern. hunted. but defiant look which
/ characterized II during the SIX weeks
when he was On the rack during Sep
tember and October. IN all that time
/ he never rested. never relaxed his
vigilance. and never gave hint Of the
agony of doubt anu fear that haunted
him That he expected defeat was
evidenced by the spectacle he pre-
senfed - the governor of Minnesota
going from house 10 house and
from door 10 door. asking The labOring
men Of Minneapolis TO vote for MIN.
/ When the campaign was finished and
the result was announced other men
telt that their work was done for TWO
years. No so with him.
His Task Was Only Begun.
Since that time he has been buster
and worked harder thar ever. II an
iron viii. an iron frame and an iron
conscience count for anything in this
fight he viii win.
Bat shrewd men say he can never be
senator. The friends Of Washburn.
they say. VIII fight him with his own
weapons. and. If need be, Join hands
with all opposition 10 defeat him. No
man in Minnesota has more remarkable
characteristics than knDte Nelson. He
IS lie Napoleon OF politics 4 this state.
People talk OF MS methods. his system

TEN. he IS simply Kuute Nelson. and
the system Is knute Nelson. Every
knee must bend TO him. He has no
c0nhdauts. trusts no one 10 & greater

He expects 10 crush every Scandinas
Wan member vino refuses 10 vote for
him. and he viii do it. He depends
upon the scandinavian vote. and TO
those who say he cannot get them he
simply points 10 the November result.
when. with nearly every Scandinavian
paper against MIN, he received the
Scandinavian vote. He will win or
carry the party down with him 10 utter
decentralization and disruption.
There are many who hold the belief
that
Neither Vashburn Nor Nelson
can be elected. and declare that any
compromise Is impossible They believe
that another Richmond will appear in
the field and pluck the coveted honor.
As to the identity Of this sable sIeed
there IS wide divergence Of opinion.
