them and sent them around to the
various Headquarters to do some hol-
lering and impress the candidates for
minor office with the strength and en-
thusiasm of the Eustis push
They certainly did impress some of
the candidates and later in the day
it was said that! Douglas had made
overtures to the Eustis mana gers for
combination. Both Douglas and his
manager. McGrath. denied the truth of
the rurnor and Judge Steele refused to
talk about it. but the impression re-
manned. 1 ;ia.
The headquarters Of the candidates
for the supreme. bench nomination were
largely utilized for resting places.
Judge Lovely has an airy room in one
of the strange angles that the hotel
Is so full Of and. he. had plenty Of COM
pany. The room was cool and restful
and nobody there was pretending to do
any work. It was understood that
Lovely had sure thing, coming from
Albert Lea with the backing he had.
All he did was to sit about in his
room and answer the usual query of
the visitors with the one reply: "Love
ly," which small joke was much en-
joyed.
Attorney General Childs was in the
next room to Treasurer Koerner. There
was disposition to avoid the associa-
ton that might be implied by getting
into the Childs crowd. He is not like
ly to have much Of showing in the
convention. The way his campaign is
regarded was shown by the joke Of a
person with a crash suit and a jag,
who poked his head in the door of
Mr. Childs room yesterday afternoon
and shouted: ~ l-s,.e
ice, ice. want any ice?" The ChiIds
campaign is something of a frost.
The candindacy of A. Y. Merrill for
attorney general is much more real
than anybody thought for. He has
only one small room, but it was
crowded yesterday with men from the
northern part of the state who seemed
to know more about the candidate
than there is known of him at home.
II seems that his position on the An
derson bill is his warrant for looking
for the attorney generalship, and he
has made canvass among the anti
railroad people that has been appar-
emily thorough. They all found their
way there. If Eustis Is beaten in the
convention Merrill has an excellent
chance fer the nomination he is look
ing for.
are sitting easier than anyone else in
the race. Dunn has no opposition in
the state, with the exception Of the
personal opposition of Ed Paradis. He
was about most of yesterday for the
sake of being In sight. He has head
quarters opened, but he never goes
near them, and George Finn is taking
care of the vacant. rooms sometimes.
Mr.. Koerner has TIE rooms he had
two and four years ago, and he has
n arrangeme syt with Col Monfort to
the effect that nobody else can have
those rooms when there is a, conven-
ton on. Koerher thinks they are
lucky. He has sope right to think SO.

Dan was beaten in his own town, but

won out These may be the least of
his claims to arplacse in the stable with
the other dusly ones, but it is enough.
Mobiles county has a room that was
turned into Dan Shell headquarters
last night 1t is not, however, very
likely that Dan will ever get out of
the stable.
Here are the figures that were made
by the managers CT the various lad

vary so much as to indicate that, they
are wide of the mark in any case. NJ.
