II saw ex-Gov. Mc(3iii. OF our state. on
the street here today. Seeing him recalls
bit OK political history. He WAS brought
out ~ a candidate by Loren Fletcher. con-
gresham fFom the Minneapolis district
He was opposed by the younger element
Of Republicans In the state but after Que
Of tho hottest convention fights on record
be got the nomination.
"Dr. A.. A. Ames. formerly mayor Of
Minneapolis. WAS prevailed on by the bcst-
Ing Republicans and the Democrats 10 ae-
cept nomination Mt their hands. The
succeeding campaign was . warm one. On
the night before the election there Was =
street riot In Minneapolis. The Republic
ans we're having a street parade when
Democrats came along the line Of march
and assased them with stones and other
missiles.
ssMctsfll was elected by the closest kind
of vote In fact. for days II was thought
the election had gone the ether way, and
Ames was actually sworn In as governor
Finally, however, IL was found that q

man. He believes in conducting the affairs

prudent way as hly own
se-1t may be- safely said that IL Is possible
that Coy Land viii 10 a candidate for the
United. States senate against knute Mel

wcgian. and the contest between the two
win b q battle royal. The swedes are
mainly for Lind. while the Norwegiaaa
ara for Nelson. do not think there IL an
other man who could be elected by the
| fusion forces except Lind.
II do not think Mckinley IL as strong In
our state as he was two years ago. The
Republican party In Minnesota Is percep-
tihiy divided on the Philippine question
| Moreover Mckinley has been unfortunate
! In some Of his appointments. and many OF
the better class Of Republicans are openly
protesting against them.
