Hays Is Only
a Catspaw.
He Did Not Originate the Idea Of q Repub-
ican Conference at Mankato.


A St. Peter special to the Minneapo.
lis Times throws some light upon the
inside purposes of the conference OF
Republicans which was to have been
held in Mankato yesterday. The lnfor-
nation Of the st. Peter correspondent
is to the effect that the plan never origi-
mated with Editor Hays at all. On the
contrary, the scheme was concocted
more than two weeks ago by Z. P. Hunt,
General Baker and Ed. Weaver of Man
kato, and hotel-keeper by the name OF
Slade at Adrian. There were others in
the scheme but these were the prime
movers. They held a meeting at which
the plan was conceived and Hays select
ed as the man to carry it out.
This information, says the St. Peter
correspondent, was obtained at Manka-
to and can be relied upon as being alb
solutely correct.
