The state canvassing board meets to-
day and will probably be in session three
days, completing the official recount Of
the vote Of the state.
Nothing new has turned up to Warra Mt
: the statement that there will be a re-
count demanded on the vote for Gov.
Lind after the board has finished it's
work. Chairman Rosing has received nu-
merous replies to his letters sent to va
rious Democrats over the state, and the
most of these are favorable to a contest
but no means are suggested, and it is
probable that the matter will not be
pushed The executive committee of the
Democratic party will meet Friday, when
the proposition may receive some discus
sion. There will be no meeting of the
state committee.
Some difficulty is being experienced in
arranging for the mass meeting for the
consideration of the senatorial PROPOSE
ton, as it relates to st. Paul and her
citizens. There is special committee
having this matter in charge, but as yet
no action has been taken by that cody.
No suitable place for holding this meet
ing has been secured. Mozart hall was
wanted for one night during the later part
OF this week, but upon inquiry it was
learned that it is already engaged. The
subcommittee will endeavor to get an
other hall. That committee is expected to
report upon its work this Afternoon before
the committee at large.
A prominent Winona politician was at
the Merchants yesterday, and on being
asked if he gave any credence to the re-
port that Congressman Tawney might be
a candidate for the senatorship if it came
to a general fight, said: mo, not the
least. My individual opinion is that
Tawpey has about all he can we'll attend
u -.
well eontented to let the senatorship
alone In fact he is willing to be perfect
ly quiet if he may be allowed to do So
.
Taking into consideration the. fact that
Tawney ran about 5000 behind his ticket
at the recent election, it would seem that
the gentleman above quoted was spea king
wisdom when he said that Tawney had
about ali he could we'll attend to in his
present job. Tawney made the worst
race of any representative in the state,
and it does not require much of a prophet
to decide what the result would have been
had 1t not been presidential year.
Maj. McGufF1n. who was once familiar
as the drum major of the Fort Smelling
band, has been brought out for place as
doorkeeper Of the senate. He has recent
ly been retired from army service, upon
attaining the age limit and has many
rally to his support in his candidacy.
1T Is now asserted that Mr. Lowry's
chief support will come from Duluth,
where he is looked upon as the motive
power of the trolley business. Mile Bun
nell, OF the Duluth News-Tribune was n
the CITY yesterday, and runnor has it that
his visit was in the interest of the Lowry
boom.
Until the Ramsey county Republicans
are able to unite themselves on some one
man for the senatorial candidacy they
Will continue to be seriously crippled in
the fight, which promises to be a most
bitter one. It is not doubtful that all the
political strategy and wire pulling that
has ever been known in such contests Will
be resorted to, and that he who is to be
the victorious wearer of the coveted tCga
must enter the arena with all his host at
his command.
L. F. Hubbard, of Red Wing. is a can
didate for the seat in the United States
senate made vacant by the Death of Sem
ator c. K. Davis.
Evans men have called a meeting CT
the Republicans OF the Forty-second dis
trict for the purpose of securing an OK
preston of sentiment on the senatorial
situation.
The Forty-second district is the district
represented by Jay w. Phillips, one CT
the three members of the Hennepin dele
cation who did not vote to indo-se Evans,
as the candidate of Hennepin county, MFR.
Phillips. in declining to tndorse Evans,
stated at the caucus that he could not do
so for certain reasons, and now the
Evans men are determined to ascertain
whether or not Mr.. Philips district backs
