ticers of the league for the coming
two years. If the country has IL can
didate. it is expected that it will be
d. w. Hruclihart OF st. Cloud. whose
friends have been pushing him for
ward for that position, though he has
made little effort himself. If the coun-
try does not put forward claim the
st. Paul Republicans will present the
name of Eli $. Warner. and he will
undoubtedly be elected. II. C. Stevens
will not be 4 candidate for reelection
as secretary, and c. l.. Smith of Min
neapolis is the most prominent can
didate for the place.
