| The party includes the beSt-known
newspaper men in Minnesota and not
| a few Of them enjoy regulations not
bounded by state lines. For the time
being they have dropped all their bust
ness cares and are out for a good time.
| Some of the more sedate members COM
plain that 1.-The boys" started out at
such furious pace that they disturbed
the serenity of those who were seeking
only quiet, which means that some of
| them had such a good time on the train
| last night that the others could not
sleep. Lack of sleep, however did not
seem to affect any of the members, for
they all showed up bright and smiling
this morning. Taken as a whole, they
are fine class of people and the Press
club has reason to feel honored by haV-
ing such guests.
The head of the party is Harlan P.
Hall, CT St. Paul. who is known as the
Nestor of the Minnesota press. He was
one of the charter members of the Edi-
torial association and he is now men,
| Der of the executive committee. He
has always taken deep interest in the
association and is its historian. He is
| a wonderfully energetic man and is the
| life of the party. He wanted to make
! the trip the other way, going to Mani
| towoc first, and the making of the trip
backwards, as he expresses it, has had
a bad effect upon him. His friends say
that it has ratified him so that he
praises Pabst beer in SchlitZ resorts
and Schlitz beer in Pabst headquarters
He is the leading spirit in a myster-
ious organization known as the Hello,
! Bilp' club, which gathered one or two
prominent Milwaukee men in when it
visited the city a few weeks ago. Mr.
Hall founded the st. Paul G o b e, the
St Paul Dispatch and the st. Paul
Daily Call He is very bright man,
a good singer, a splendid story-teller
and an "all-around" good fellow.
The president of the association is G.
w. Stanton, who edits the Appleton
Press, one of the best weeklies in the
state Mr.. Stanton is a Democratic
lawyer, who is a candidate for a seat
in the next legislature, and it is report
ed that he desires the place in order
to boom himself for United States SEN
ator in 1899, banking on a wild hope Of
Minnesota going Democratic.
c. P. Slime, now secretary of the St.
| Paul Commercial club, is the secretary
! of the association. He is a handsome
| bachelor of thirty-five, and rumor has
it that he is seeking Milwaukee bride.
A genial disposition makes him very
popular in the association and he makes
an excellent secretary.
The treasurer Of the association is
David Ramaley, who has held the po-
| sition for twenty-sfx years. He Is one
! of the Oldest practical printers in Min
nesota and has been in the journalistic
| ranks for forty years. For a number
OF years he was state printer and he
| made an enViable reputation for him
! Self in the position.
Edward Paradis, a member of the
| executive committee, edits the Mid
way News. which is supposed from
it's name to have something to do with
the streets of Cairo. He is noted for
III eLl,r, hot
| when he dips his pen in gall he makes
things hum. He, too, is member of
the mysterious Hello Billr' club.
M. J. Bowling, secretary of the Ma
tional League of Republican clubs. is
member of the association, but he
is not present on this trip. He has an
| able representative, however, In the
person of his wife, who is accompanied
by her sister Mr.. Bowling edits the
Renville Star-Farmer. He is still d
young man and it is believed that
there are great things ahead for him
! politically. He is very busy man.
| but he finds time to be sociable and
is very popular with the boys.
| CHARACTERISTIC OF THE MEN.
Joseph Leicht, of Winona, who is
accompanied by his wife, edits a Ger
man paper the title of which in Eng
lish sounds like "Westliquor Herold"
| Notwithstanding the suspicious name
of his paper Mr.. Leicht is said to be
| a temperance man. A st. Paul paper
says that he writes his editorials in
German, but signs them in blood. He
was the Democratic candidate for state
| treasurer some years ago, but failed
of election, with the rest of his party,
which does not ordinarily have easy
shedding in Minnesota.
Sam Langum, of the Preston Times,
is said to be on this trip for the pur-
pose of booming himself for the posi-
ton of secretary of state. He is a
stalwart Republican and was for
years secretary of the senate. He has
also been deputy warden of the state
prison. At present his chief business,
outside of working his boom, is said
to be keeping Fillmore county from
getting the silver craze.
| "Old'' PeaSe, whose initials are G. S.,
but are never used, lives at Anoka,
where he edits the Union, but has been
| looking for a new location since Anoka
failed to get the fourth asylum. This
| afternoon it was reported that he had
| decided upon a point midway between
the Pabst and Schlitz breweries. He
is characterized by one of his con-
temporaries as "the wasp of North
Star newspaperdom." 1t is said that
he can scent crookedness in political
things farther than any man in the
| state, and when he breaks loose the
! fur begins to fly.
John A. Johnson, Of the st. Peter
| Herald, decided at the last minute to
join the party. Mr.. Johnson dedicated
the Minnesota building at the worlds
fair and when somebody told him that
the Pabst brewery had never been
properly dedicated he felt that he
would not be living up to his reputa-
| ton if he did not come and perform
the interesting ceremony. His fellow
travellers agree that he did it very
| gracefully.
H. G. Hayes, of the Sleepy Eye Dis
patch, is counted among the jolly good
| fellows of the gang. 1t Is current gos-
sip that his standard diet is pie and
| milk, but as he frequently invited his
less fortunate brethren to share it
with him, they do not hold it up
against him.
Bronson Strain, of the Battle Lake
| Review, who is accompanied by his
wife and sister, delights in singing
There is a Hole in the Bottom of the
Sea-" and some of his brethren who
| cannot sing are mean enough to say
that they wish he would find it and
fall in.
Charles G. Whitney, editor of the
Marshall News Messenger, is the state
printer at present. The state srinter
in Minnesota is appointed by COM
mission of three, and there were two
votes against Mr.. Whitney, but he
took the position just the same. The
man who claims that Mr.. Whitney is
the way elections are conducted in
Minnesota. He is a Republican, as a
matter of course, and a great hustler.
