There Is Trouble In the Republican Camp.
Eustis Running Things To Suit Himself.

If the daily papers Of the Twin Cities
ale to be believed, and from the fact
that they all tell the same story we
think they are, William Henry Eustis is
dong just what he did when he was
mayor of Minneapolis, making more enc
mics than friends.
Already there is breach between
Eustis and the other candidates on the
Republican ticket and this breach prom
ises to grow wider from day to day.
It started in Eustis' determination to
have the whole say in the appointment
of the state committee. All of the can
didates naturally had names to propose,
but none of them were considered.
The result is that there is hardly
member Cf the committee who IS known
outside of his own ward or county.
In naming the committee, says the
Globe, Eustis deliberately fouted the
working members Of the party and in
suited the other candidates.
Eustis told Bob Dunn, fatty, that he
did not think that he, Dunn, cut half as
much figure IN the party as Joel Heat
wole did, and that Heatwole's henchman,
Pierce, who is now holding $4,000 job
in Washington, must go on the commit
tee. Dunn told Eustis that Pierce was
his personal enemy, and that his. nomi-
I nation on the committee would be con-
sidered as a personal affront. Eustis
told Mr.Dunn that this was his campaign,
and he needed Heatwole more than he
did him. That accounts for the absence
of Dunn from the candidates meeting
The auditor had no compunctions about
giving it out that he would conduct his
own campaign in case Eustis would not
listen to reason in the matter of the
committee, and there will be great deal
Of ice delivered at the Eustis .headquar-
ters by the Dunn following.
In the meeting, Albert Berg told the
gubernatorial candidate that he wanted
to make one request, and he named a
man for the committee. Eustis made a
speech. He said that Mr.. Berg had
nothing at stake at all compared to his
venture, that he must he satisfied with
the committee that Eustis would ap-
point, and that the candidate for COVER
nor would not accept the names suggest
ed by candidates who were looking out
for themselves. It actually took force
to keep Berg IN the meeting. He want
ed Eustis to understand that he thought
he was stronger man before the public
than the Minneapolis man was, and that
he could take care of himself. Both
Koernerand Reese were with Berg in this
matter. Both of them had been turned
down in the proposition to put Ell War
ner on the committee and they told Eus-
tbs what they thought of his procedure.
Then Eustis made another speech. He
said that he had seer the people who are
ordinarily to be depended on tor cen.
tributions to campaign funds, and that
there would be no money IN sight. He
thought that the campaign would be q
personal one between himself aud John
Lind.
''H we have $4,000 in the campaign
fund, that will be the best we can do,D
said Eustis. s.The campaign will have
to he run on economical lines, and shall
insist, gentlemen, on seeing to it that
the little money that is gotten shall not
be wasted
Inasmuch as it cost the Republican
committee of two years ago over $4,000
for kilograms alone, this statement was
startling, and the candidates were pre-
pared to accept almost any list Of names
that might be proposed If only the old
line members of the party were recog-
nized. But they were not.
T Dr.. Wattam, OF Warren, who is in the
forefront of his party in his county, was
turned down by Eustis. G. ]. Gunder-
son, of Alexandria, the personal friend
of Senator Nelson was suggested, and
Eustis said that he wouldn't do at, all.
i He went into the ruck. Alvah Eastman,
who ran the Collins campaign and who
/ cut some figure in the deal that nomi-
mated Eustis, was turned down in spite
/ of the fact that Dunn and Berg insisted
1 on his being made member of the com
mittee. t was said that Dunn addressed
letter to the meeting urging Esstman's
name. D. w. Meeker, Of Moorhead,
who ran the campaign for Douglass and
won out, was proposed, but Eustis said
] he thought Mr.. MeekeI had too much
personal interest in one Of the candidates
4 to deal fairly hvs the whole ticket
