CONFENTIONETTES

The power behind the conven
ton was greater than the con
rention itself:
What in Duluth did they do
to Tom Dinham? Not a thing.
Never even considered him a
candidate.
Uncle Joe says the Mesaba
has been eliminated from the
map, and what Uncle Joe says
goes. See?
The center of gravity shook
yesterday as the gentleman who
makes the candidates for county
Office paced the floor in the con
yention hall.
Now let the Fusionists put up
an intelligent, hustling eandi-
date for county commissioner
from the Mesaba, and show 'em
how it's done.
With all due Difference for Mr..
B. N. Wheeler, we would state
that any person who insinuates
that he is a Mesaba candidate
addeth insult to injury.
The resolutions adopted did
not endorse Mark Hanna.
Neither did they endorse Uncle
Joe--on their face. But the en-
dorsement was there.
Tom Dinham will henceforth
put his concentrated intelligence
and ability into the manufacture
of cigars, instead of building of
trunk roads. TITS we'll:
"Resolved,~ that the royalties
on state mineral lands should
not be reduced" Such is the
wording of a section of the set
of resolutions adopted by the re.
publican county convention.
Bob Benson gained much no
toriety for his knowledge of, the
"rule of three in his algebrau
count Of noses for and against
the Reynolds Amendments to the
resolutions adopted.
There are still a number of re-
publicans lett in Virginia-but
we would. not desire to convey

THE PRIMARIES,

The republican primaries held
in the various precincts of the
city Tuesday evening were the
scenes of lively contests in the
first and third wards, while op-
position candidates were in the
field in every ward of the city.
and the interest of voters was
we'll exemplified by the complete
vote polled.
The first ward organized by
the selection of H. r. Smith as
chairman, G. E. Bailey and S.
A. Reid as judges and David E.
Cuppernull as clerk. The total
vote of the ward was 49-a
showing Of material increase
in the republican ranks-ot
which number DR.. Stuart Bates
received q and E. z. Griggs re.
ceived IS, the latter being duly
declared elected.
The second ward organization
was perfected after considerable
skirmishing to find persons to
fill the board, A. Belanger be-
ing chosen chairman, r. J. LEM
han and Frank Stah] judges and
Emil Jewell clerk. In this ward

three to be chosen. The totaI

merit, chairman;. A H. Stevens
and J. r: James, judges; and A,
Newton Brown clerk. The vote
in this ward, II, is evidence Of
the fact that the contest was no.
bitterly fought between the can
didates.
In the fourth ward the reputa.
ton of the precinct was fully
sustained by a vote of IS to 2;
between Axel E. Carlson and
john :O'Connor. The board in
this precinct was composed OF

in st. Louis county by the over
