publican Sixth district congressional COM
| mittee; ex-Chairman L. M. Wilicuts, Of
| Duluth. and Senator c. C. Mccarthy Of
! Grand Rapids, were in the city yester-
! day, leaving for their homes late In the
night. They had been up to St. Cloud
| to perfect the permanent organization
! of their committee and lay out the plan
of battle for the coming campaign. The
gentlemen were all brim full of Republi-
can enthusiasm and assured CT e re-
porter that they would carry their dis
; trjct by a sweeping majority for both
; Van SAINT and Morris
i St Louis county, over which there has
/ been some difference in opinion as to it's
! course in the coming election, is claimed
/ by goodly margin by the Republican
I solons, and their gains in other counties
in the district will be correspondingly
great, SO they aver.
GAS tc Stearns county we do not expect
! to carry that, of course" said Mr..
Seacle, but we win make a big gain
there. We cannot exactly count on the
outcome in Stearns yet. for we must
wait and see who the Democrats place in
the Held. If they nominate Truelson
our chances for gaining in Stearns coun-
| ty are poorer than if they named Bald
win. The German vote will be more apt
to follow Truelson than Baldwin, and in
fact it would not be at all startling if, in
the event Of his nomination. Truelsou
would sustain Towne's last vote In that
Democratic stronghold" Mr. SearIe's
opinion was concurred in by both Messrs.
| Willcuts and Mccarthy, when he said
! that Baldwin would not be as strong
man in Stearns as Truelson, but that in
the district at large he would poll a
larger vote.
Asked if they thought either Baldwin
or Truelson would make as strong a race
as Towne did in 1898 the trio all replied
in unison: mo, indeed They did not
/ hesitate to say that they believed Bald
win very popular man in the Sixth dis
| trict but (since it looks so much like he
! will be Morris opponenD Messrs. Nc
| Carthy and Searle heartily agreed with
Mr.. Willcuts when he stated that I'VE
are mighty glad we don't have to run
against that man Towne again this
year.
| Capt. Van SAINT was in the city short
time yesterday evening. He came in to
meet Tams Bixby, but failing to do so he
left on an evening train for Bemidji,
where he will make a speech today be-
fore the Republican county convention Of
Beltrami county. Attorney c. ]. Berry
hill, of this city, accompanied the cap
tain and will also advise the northern
| neighbors on the political situation of the
| day.
Capt. Van SAINT stopped long enough in
the city TO say that the report of Tams
Bixby's having resigned his position as
correct and that Mr.. Bixby would now
devote his entire time during the cam
paign to the work Of guiding the desn-
MES of North Stars politics.
Tams Bixby did not arrive In ST. Paul
yesterday OF last night as he was ex-
pected to do. Various Republican leaders
during the day to see him, but were
disappointed.
There will be meeting of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee tonight at
the rooms OF the Jefferson club, at which
preliminarteS for the coming campaign
! will be attended to.
1neTe Is possibility Chat ST. Cloud
will furnish a middle of the road Populist
candidate for congress in the Sixth con-
gresssonal district this fall in the person
Of S. J. Seberger, of that city. Mr. Sc
berger is a member Of the public school
faculty and very popular gentleman IN
his own community. The st. Cloud Times
states that a petition is being circulated
in parts Of the district for Mr.. Seberger.
N. S. Gordon, editor Of the recently es-
tablished Crookston Daily Journal, is In
the city. He feels that everything is
going Republican In his county and dis
trict this year, although he admits that
he cannot exactly tell what makes him
feel that way. Possibly 1t is because the
crops have been short in that section of
the state this summer and things gen.
orally have gloomy aspect. Polk county
in which Crookston Is situated, has been
carried by the Populists for several years.
but Mr.. Gordon complacently believes the
present regime will be supplanted by the
Republicans.
