secretary, c. c. Whitney, of Marshall;
treasurer, Robert Jamison. of Minneapo-
lis; chairman of executive committee,
Tams Btxby, Of Red Wing.
| With the exception of the last named
the selections are those recommended by
the candidates a week ago. There was
nothing particularly notable attending
the gathering except the good will which
| always prevails at the opening of q
campaign. The general committee met
shortly before noon, held a half hours
session, adjourned and convened again
at o'clock and remained in session be-
| hind closed doors for about two hours.
| Following the general committee meeting
was meeting of the executive commit
tee, which lasted until $50 p. M
c. A. Smith, of Minneapolis, and Theo-
dore L. Schumacher. of st. Paul, were
the only absentees. One of the first
matters taken up by the executive COM
mittee was the election of q treasurer.
Judge Robert Jamisen, of Minneapolis,
was selected.
The committee decided to open head
Quarters in tho EDdicott huiIdfuor fYnrn a.
diately. Mr.. Bixby stated that it was
necessary for him to go East, and as
he could not be In Minnesota again be-
fore the last of the month the next meet
ing of the executive committee was set
for Aug. l. A meeting of the general
committee will be held Aug. 10. The
campaign will be inaugurated In earnest
about Sept. 1. The national committee
has millions Of printed pamphlets .and
circulars to distribute and the state

| Democratic slate makers are busy
framing up a slate for a state ticket.
| There is no dearth of candidates, al
though some Of the Republican organs
would make 1t appear that the Republi-
| can party was alone capable of producing
candidates for Office. Here is a slate of
the probable candidates:
Governor, John Lind; lieutenant gov
ernor, S. A. Stockwell Minneapolis; Sec
rotary of state, Prof Wilhelm Patterson;
state treasurer, T. ]. Meighen, or Henry
Truelson; attorney general, Judge
Brooks; for congress. Humphrey Barton.
If the practice of etamperfng with the
hirsute adornments of prominent Repub-
licans continues, the sergeant-at-arms of
the Republican state central committee
will have to insist on members of the
committee bringing their credentials.

feature of Republican gatherings from
time immemorial, there was still the
voice and avoirdupois to assist in the
Identification of the remains. But yes
terday Senator E. J. Jones, of Morris,
whose facial embellishments were the
envy of his less favored colleagues from
ST. Cloud and Duluth on the north to st.
Paul and st. Peter on the south, appear
ed with no barber annoyer save a mus
tache. 1t is safe to predict that his per-
Sonal influence in the ladies' gallery has
been reduced so per cent.
wouldn't it jolt the sergeant-at-arms if
Lyndon A. Smith, or Jones, J. D., should
get the craze3
