tickets in Cleveland told him he would roi
have to pay for the children's transportation
and that none of the conductors east of here
asked him to do When half way to Min
neapols, however, he says the Northern
Pacific conductor demanded fare for the boy.
Brown says he had only twenty-five cents and
told the conductor he could not pay for the
child. Then he claims the conductor put
the boy off. He walked to Minneapolis where

day came here and reported his experience

Fourth District Pops to Meet at For

1t is expected that the Populists Of the
regular organization for the Fourth district
will meet today at Forest Lake as per pro-
gramme and nominate Judge John w. Will
lis, OF this city. for congress. While the
Ramsey county central committee has refused
to call primaries to elect delegates to the con-
vention Of today, 1t is expected that the con-
gressional committee Will see to it that
Ramsey county Is not overlooked in the or
ganization Of today's cnvention.
The congressional committee accuses the
county committee of dishonest motives. AS
their official organ states the situation:
The county committee pretended that
twenty-five days was not time enough for
them to act and in the same breath de-
clared 1t was not advisable to nominate
candidate for congress, thus laying bare their
motive.
The sentiment seems to be that If this
convention is knocked in the head by hot
headed fusionists, that the midroaders will
call a convention of their own week or two
later

yesterday. The county convention Of LIE
Sueur county, will be held early next month,
when the senator's constituents will put their
stamp of approval upon his last term, by in
dors1ng him for a second term. Little oppo-
sition has developed and he is looked upon as
senatorial certainty. When asked about the

quite reticent, but stated that Eustis was
