The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-26

Eric &. Dahlgren, of 302 Summit ave-
nue., is tentatively candidate for the
nomination for congress from this dis
trict on the Republican ticket. Mr..
Stevens sure thing which was to be
pulled off next Saturday may not be
SO sure after all, though Mr.. Dahlgren
starts very late In the day. If his
candidacy had been announced three
weeks ago he would have made things
very lively for Mir. Stevens.
Mr.. Dahlgrens candidacy was sent
out as a feeier yesterday. He himself
was not seen about town, but not less
than a dozen men who mingle at times
not only in the Seventh ward, but in
city and county, and even state poll
ties, were asking other leaders of the
party about town what they thought
of 1.-THE candidacy. If there Is any
considerable rally to the Dahlgren flag
then he Will go into the convention to
beat Stevens. 1t depends entirely on
just how far the leaders are tied up
with Stevens.
Yesterday afternoon they admitted,
some of them, that they had been APP
preached about Dahlgren and asked
what they thought of his chances. They
would not indicate what they had an
swered.
Mr.. Dahlgren Is the son Of Admiral
Dahlgren. He is we'll known socially
and among the more substantial bust
ness men of St. Paul He is a young
man, and is accredited with the pos
session Of very considerable wealth.
He is a prominent member of the Loyal
Legion and belongs to the Minnesota
and Town and Country clubs.
AS to how far his candidacy will go
will depend on the outcome today. If
he is justified by promises of support
he will go into the convention.
Clerk of the Court Rogers still feels
as if he would like to get into the fight
If he could find good excuse to do so.
The meeting of the Democratic state
committee that Is called for tomorrow
at the Ryan hotel will undoubtedly be
attended by every member. Judge
Willis has been in touch with most of
the members of the committee and he
looks for a very full attendance. The
gathering will come together at the
convenience of the members, as most
of them will combine pleasure with pol
iticS, and want to have a part in the
Publication incident to the day.
The sentiment of the press and lead
ers throughout the state Is that Chair
man Rosing be elected chairman again.
If he will accept it. There Is little doubt
en- this score, as he said the last time
he was in st. Paul that he felr that
his experience of two years ago will
be a great aid to directing the cam
paign, and that he believed the hncwl-
edge acquired would permit him to win
against greater odds.
There has been no one suggested as
yet for secretary of the committee, and
1t is likely that Mr.. Rosing will be al
lowed to name the man he wants to do
the work.
There is no longer any doubt that
the headquarters will be located in St.
Paul. The members are a unit almost
in favor of it, AID the little furry that
was made over Minneapolis has died
away, because of the chill that was
given it by way of reception.
Representative Dollamore is not 60
ing to get a denomination this year
without a fight. Sam Lowenstein and
few other of the horny-handed ones
In the ward have discovered a candi-
date in Andrew Holm, and he is out to
stay.
i. o. Zimmerman, now member
of the school board, thinks he would
adorn the upper house next winter, and
he has the temerity to attack Timothy
Sheehan in his own bailliwick. The
candidacy of Mr.. Zimmerman only
dawned on the public yesterday but
he is a strong man, and Sheehan will
not have a walkaway, after all.
Captain Court Commissioner Gallick
has a scheme that will dispose of the
matter of the salary of one of the
judges of the district bench. The
court commissioner has been thinking
bit these last few weeks. while the
marriage business has been at a stand
still, and he has evolved an idea. He
will not accept the nomination for the
