Republican candidates for office, who
since the convention have been placed
in the also ran" column, were about
the city hall yesterday in squads
County Attorney Anderson did not
show up at his office until noon, but
when he did he was in the best of HUI
NOR There is one thing that can be
truthfully said about the county attor-
ley, and that is he does not allow any
thing TO worry him. Although he re-
ceived but twenty seven of the 354
votes in the convention for a renomina-
ton and the mention of his name was
received with Kisses, the result never
pheazed him.
In speaking of the convention yester-
day, Anderson laughed heartily for a
minute, and then said: MY, but didn't
they throw it into Harvey Hall. Do you
know l felt awful sorry for Hall You
see. they traded his delegation from the
Ninth ward for everything on the ticket
and then when it came HarVey's turn
II.
Hall made the mistake in not MAX
ing a combination like Johnson, Irish
and BigeloW did. You can't rely on
pledges in conventions. Now in my
case, for instance, l went personally
to each delegate in the Eighth ward
crowd, and all but two of the forty
eight promised they would vote for me-
When the roll call came only eight
stuck to their promise. 1 tell you the
combination is the proper thing in a
political convention. OF course, it's all
over now, but didn't they treat Hall
stability"
M J. Bell had the book in which he
kept the names of the delegates who
were to vote for him for county audi
tor out looking it over yesterday after
noon in the city clerks office.
Bell, according to the promises and
his book, should have received III
votes on the first ballot. He was tab
bed with but seventeen, and now when
he has a spare moment he takes out his
book and endeavOrs to pick out the
seventeen who stuck to him.
What makes it all the harder for
Bell is every one of the delegates he
has met has confidentialIy informed
him that he was one Of the seventeen
who staid by him.
The friends Of former Aid. Lindahl
express themselves as disappointed
with the half hearted way in. which
Bigelow and his followers supported
their candidate for county treasurer.
The Lindahl men point out how dur
ing the two years Bigelow and Lindahl
were in the board of aldermen the First
ward alderman stood by BigeloW at all
times when the Fifth ward representa-
tive needed assistance. In the cOnven-
ton, however, BigeloW made no par
ticular effort to assist Lindahl, and if
he did not throw him overheard took
no particular interest to secure his
nomination.
Former Sheriff Chapel George Walsh
and Eli Warner are to have the hand
ling of the race to be made by Irish
for sheriff. An effort will be made by
the trio to keep in the background on
the supposition that were it known
they were for Irish it would ruin his
chances.
The Republican politicians are figur-
ing that about $4,000 can be raised for
the campaign from all sources, and that
with this amount the sore spots caused
by the convention in several Of the
wards can be smoothed over.
Frank J. Ellis, of the Ninth ward, is a
candidate for abstract clerk on the
Democratic ticket Mr.. Ellis was born
in st. Paul in 1871, has worked seven
years in the court house, and has had
personal experience in the work which
the abstract clerk is called on to per-
form.
The Fifth Ward Democratic associa-
ton held a we'll attended meeting last
evening at Ala Smith avenue. Joseph
II. Jansen presided, and many repre-
sentative Democrats of the ward were
among those in attendance. Charles
G. Lauer was elected ward commit
teeman, to serve until after the pri-
maries next week, in the place of Max
