CAPT. CASTLE TALKS ABOUT THE
MINNESOTA MANS PRESI-
DENTAL PROSPECTS.
HE HAS FRIENDS EVERYwHERE
Good for Probably Sixty Votes
From the Start in the Com
SentiOn.

Postmaster Castle stood in his Of
flee yesterday and looked out on Wa
basha street where one crew of men
was cutting and pounding rails for
the new tracks and another crlw
was putting down a new pavement.
Crowds of pedestrians passed UP and
down on either sidewalk, but the
postmaster saw none of these things
He was looking through all this hus-
tie, through brick buildings and
space. He did see something, how
ever and that something was a Re-
publican national convention. He
saw an orator present the name of
a SON of Minnesota as a candidasa
Tor the presidency, and he could al
most hear the applause that followed
the announcement. He noticed, too,
that the applause came from all
parts of thG convention hall instead
OF that portion occupied by the Min
nesota delegation. Capt. Castle
claims that 1T is a sure thing Sena tor
Davis will go into the convention
with sixty or more votes which will
SUCK to him until a selection is made
Senator Davis has gone down to
Iowa to hslp his friend Senator AL
l1son and the Republican party
IN general. He will make
three speeches before he re-
turns, and, while they are ex-
pected to help the Republican ticket
IN the coming election, they are not
expected to hurt Senator Davis. OF
couse Senator Allison is not only a.
cano1date for reelection to the Unit
ed State senate, but he is a sort. of
standing candidate for the nresd-
dency. The fact that he is "stand-
Ing and has been for years, Senator
LAWS friends think, relieves him of
any suspicion of danger. So Mime
sofas son is helping him and his
party, and when the Iowa DELEGATES
IN the next convention find thew ao,a
unable to secure support enough to
warrant them in keeping IN CASTING
tnelf votes for Iowa's fayorite son
lfley are expected to come to the aid
OF qhelr sister state and the man
VINO responded to the call for as
slstance when they need assistance
It Is considered a sort of providen-
tlal call to have Senator Davis in
VIteu TO Iowa ait this time, and it
is not considered improbab BILE that
some Of the senator's Hawkeve
LI1enos mad this in mind when the St.
PauI man was invited to help out at
this time
MINNESOTA DELEGATION
Gan senator Davis secure the dele
satlon OF his own state?' Capt. Castle
was asked yesterday afternoon. during
d conversation on~the question of Sem
ator Davis cand .dacy.
wen, OF course, l cannot saw as to
that just now," replied the captsin
pul my impression is that he can. do
not thlnk there will be much opposi-
loh 10 MIN and that his friends will
oe apie TO secure a united delegation
Ior MIN. 1t may take some work. but
L think it can be done"
How about Minneapolis ?'
tnlnk Minneapolis will be with
MIN When the time comes. 1t certainly
ought TO be. If Senator Davis were
nominated for the presidency it would
create vacancy to which some of the
minneapolis men aspire. 1 think thew
appreciate the possibility and for that
reason, II for no other, would like to
nave the senator out of the road. If
Mr.. Evans or Mr.. Washburn or some
OF the other good men they have there
want to succeed Mr.. Davis, they ought
10 work for anything that would helm
10 make possible their ambitions. Min
neapol1s ought to be in favor of Mr..
Davis and 1 believe will when. the
time comeS'
Where else do you look for other
delegates who will support the sena-
tor in the convention?
well, we expect to get a few from
all over. The fact is Senator Davis is
well regarded all over this country.
People believe him to be a good man
and safe man. He has friends all
over the country who are active for
his candidacy. Wherever there is a
Minnesota man, who formerly lived in
this state and has since moved awav
he is a Davis man and is talking Da-
Wis. The effect of this will be felt in
the convention. When the delegates
have cast their complimentary votes
Davis is going to develop strength.
We do not expect him to go in as a fa-
! Vor1te. But l expect to see him have
| between sixty and seventy votes on the
| first ballot and tokeep gaining strength
| as the voting progresses. Senator Da-
| Wis friends are not urging or are not
| going to urge his name to the exclu-
| sion of any other candidate In that
way he will not be antagonistic to any
| other candidate. His friends want him
to become the second choice of as many
| delegations as possible and in that way
| think success not impossible The his
| tory of Republican conventions from
| the time of Clay and Calhoun down to
the present has been that favorites, on
the nomination for their first term,
have not secured the nomination.
FAVORITEs NEVER WIN.
1.-The successful men have been
dark horses. OF course Allison may
be candidate, but he has been before
so many conventions that he cannot be
considered dark horse. In fact that
is a point Of weakness in Allison's cam
didacy. He is standing candidate
Where is Senator Davis support
coming from?''
'He will receive little support
iAOiAi Oil ONSA, WHilS II IL pIODdDie'- tDaI
| few states in this section of the coun-
try will send an entire delegation in
| structed for him. We are likely to re-
| ceive some support from the South
| Senator Davis has a lot of friends in
| the Southern states. A good many
Northern men have settled there since
| the war. Many of them had business
in Washington and came IN cof:aet
with him while he was connected WIN
