Republican primaries were held last
evening to elect delegates to the county
convention which convenes in Mozart
hall this morning at Il. This body will
select seventy-five delegates to the state
convention to be held at the Auditorium
one week from today. There was but 1T
tie to distinguish last nights primaries
from former elections, except an occas-
ional ruction over delegates. A report
was in circulation, but vigorously denied
by the parties interested, that Sam Low
enstein moved the primaries of the Fifth
of the Third from the election booth to
Dan bterrills house, across the street.
Woiterstoff and Peterson put IL an oppo-
sltlon ticket against LoWensteln, E. O.
hrahmer and Dan Merrill The VOTERS
toof faction is not at all popular with
IoWenstein and there has been no little
rivalry over the control of the precinct.
LoWenstein and his delegation will go
into the convention today with the proper
credentials, but it is understood that
Woltersto1f Will also claim the election
ana HE protest against the seating of
the LoWenstein delegation on the grounds
that the primaries We're not held in the
place advertised.
The Fourth ward delegation met at the
Nindors last evening ard fixed ur a list
OF delegates TO the state convention from
the Fourth ward. Other wards viii cau-

over in the Third precinct oG the First
ward the official ticket did not have clear
sailing. An opposing ticket was put in
the field by Fred Wagner, but the Rose
ticket won handily
Present Indications point very strongly
to the Endorsement of c. +. Staples, OF
Dakota county, for railroad Conlnis-
sl0ner, by the Ramsey county delegation
Staples friends claim Ramsey county be-
cause of its geogf aphical situation rather
than for other reasons. 1t is quite GER
tain, however, that their claims are We'll
founded
Without question the fghth in the con-
yentiOn will be over the secrctaryship
and the three railroad commissioners.
The woods are full of candidates for bota
PAGES, and the result depends very large
make strong combination.
Several of the Ramsey county leaders
are said to be favorable to Mr. Staples
and his promises of support are said to
come from the direction of the Fourth
ward.
A telegram was received from PhiladeI-
phia by DR.. Schiffmann yesterday stating
that his son, Fred C. Schiffmann had al

tack of diphtheria. From yesterday S
press reports OF the convention Mr.. Schiff-
mann was in attendance upon it's sessions.

John Lind administration. For those who
do have wheat this year Mr.. Bede pre-
dicted an advance of about 20 cents
