the Day.
John Lind, quartermaster or the
Twelfth Minnesota volunteers, with the
rank of lieutenant, clad in the hablll-
ments of his military rank, ran up from
his official duties at New Ulm yesterday
long enough for a brief consultation
with Chairman ROsing, Of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, and
other prominent Democrats, to talk
over matters in connection with the
campaign.
In the afternoon Lieut.. Lind witness
ed the governors review Of the Four
teenth regiment at Camp Van DuZee,
and in the evening went to Minneapolis.
1t is expected that he will return to
his home this morning.
Lieut.. Linz was busy man all day,
and when a G / o b e reporter sought
ar interview it was only at the neces-
sity of a brief talk.
But the affable New Ulm man as
sured his lnterlOcutOr that he would
be ready in a week or so at the outside
to take an active part in the campaign,
and he had no doubt that by the date
set for the opening meeting in Mime
apOlis, Oct. 10, he would be free from
his military obligations and entirely
unhandicapped in his crusade for the
freeing of Minnesota from Republican
misrule.
This will be the case for two weeks,
any way" he said. Il have informed
the state central committee that I will
be at their disposal between Oct. 10
and Oct. %, and possibly from about
Oct 26 until election day. l expect to
speak first in Minneapolis, but upon
what date 1 do not know. 1t will prob
ably be, however within a very few
days after Oct. TO-"
Lieut.. Lind, while showing the eff
fects Of exhaustive labOrs and arduous
camp life, is still apparently in good
health, and appears fit for an agrees
sive campaign.
That he promises he will give during
the two weeks or more which he can
spare from his military service.
Attorney General Chlds yesterday
served notice on the state central COM
miltees Of all the parties that he would
grant hearing next Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, to representatives of
their selection, on the question of pre-
cedence on the state ticket.
There is no question about the posi-
ton Of the Republican party, which
pOlled the largest vote of any one
party last year, but there is a question
as to Whether the Prohibitionists shall
get second place or not.
The "drys" insist that the Democrats
and Peoples party candidates by fusion
sacrificed their Independent political
existence, and that the Prohibitionists
are therefore entitled to the second
place on the ticket.
II is likely that the argument Of the
PIohibitiOntsts will meet with a definite
opposition, T. r. Kane and other
prominent Democrats arguing that the
Democratic party has not lost it's polit-
lcal identity.
It is probable that all the committees.
the Republicans included will be rep
resented at the hearing, which has been
asked by Secretary of State Berg, on
whom is placed, by the law, the duty
of preparing the ticket.
II the attorney general rules against
the parties which voted together last
election, it will mean that they will
have tor secure place on the ticket by
petition.
The Republicans, of course. will hold
first place, and this would give the
Prohibitionists second, they being the
only party which cast the required 1
Fer cent OF the total vote Of the state
al the last preceding election. The
socialists failed to reach the desired
number of votes and will have to en-
ter if at all, by petition, and the law
says that candidates nominated by
in the order of the filing Of their peti-
tons.
The Fourth congressional Democratic
committee held a meeting yesterday at
the headquarters in the Davidson block
The session was devoted to hearing
reports from various portions of the
district, all Of which pointed to an
enormous vote for the Democratic
ticket, local ais we'll as state, in the
coming election.
Judge Willis returns to finish his can
vass Of the district before the fall term
Of court opens.
Mr.. Lowry, president Of the street
railway company president Of the Twin
City Rapid Transit company, president
of the Minneapolis, Sault Ste. Marie
and several other places railway, and
collector in grand chief for the Repub-
lican state central committee, has de-
cided to do the best he can for Will
liam Henry anyway. When Mr.. Lowry
learned that William Henry was be-
ing given the frozen shoulder by the
mOneyed men of the Republican party,
he hustled around and tried to collect
a few quarters and small change for
the sake Of the $1,000 campaign fund
But he found the Republican magnates
tighter than a drum, and he gave it up
as a bad job.
But" he said to Mr. Eustis, 81 want
you to have a show. Now I see you're
going to have a meeting over in ST.
Paul Monday night. Ever since that
little matter, you remember, you
haven't been any Samson over IN ST.
Paul, and I don't suppose you'll draw
ike a porous plaster, but I think TIL
