So strong has been the suspicion that
the Republicans were not going to make
any effort to elect Van SAINT this fall that
| the official auxiliary of the Republican
! state central committee, the press bureau
has been compelled to throw Itself into
the breach with typewriter circular
| to those deluded editors OF the Repulli-
can persuasion who were guileless enough
to believe that the committee and the
bureau We're organized with a bona fide
purpose of endeaYorirg to elect the state
Republican ticket.
The circular is signed by The mystic in
itials, J. S. ", which insures its authen
ITCHY, If not its sincerity.
Vandiver advises the impatient editors
that the committee has noE given up the
fight. It has its range finder ready. buc

Dear Sir: The committee has received
/ Inquiries from a number of Interested
and impatient Republican editors as to

state campaign, and thinking the same

| the old hunter, who never wastes amau-
milton until the game gets within range
| The Democratic convention viii not be
| held until Sept. 6, and while we have any
| amount of material bearing upon the
| state campaign, it cannot be used to the
| best advantage until the Democratic con-
| vention shall have been held, its ticket
| nominated and its platform adopted. EV-
| cry promise made by the national Repub-
| LEGATION administration has been fulnlled
| and very few, if any, Of those made by
| the state fusion administration have Dur
| ing the campaign this will be proved by
| statistics and figures which WILL be sup
| piled the country press, and the commit
| tee will leave it to the individual editor to

In pursuance of its plan to cooperate
| with the country press, the committee has
thought wise to inform its friends. the
| editors of the decision that has been
| reached in this matter. The regular serv-
ice Of plate and patent matter will begin
the first week in September. Meanwhile
editorial suggestions will be mailed reg

st am not chairman of the Republican
| state committee, and am therefore not
able to say anything definite upon the
plans for the campaign in Minnesota,
! spoke Tams Bixby, editor Of the Red
| Wing Republican, chairman Of the
! Dawes Indian commission, and who has
| been claimed by the Republicans of Min
nesota as the chief engineer Of their po-
| litical manipulations for the coming cam
paign.
Mr.. Bixby had but few hours since
reached ST. Paul from his home at
| Red Wing. He brought his family with
| him yesterday, and will remain in the
city several days.
! Mr.. Bixby's statement that he was not
! the state chairman was somewhat sur
prising, but he explained that the posi-
| ton had been rendered him, and that he
had not yet seen fit to accept. But you
! will accept?" queried a G o b e reporter
! 81 am not so sure of that" was Mr.
Bixby's reply. 81 am not determined upon
| the question, and am far from ready to
authorize the statement that 1 shall"
| Mr. Bixby stated that he resigned his
! position on the Dawes commission Aug.
| 81, but added that as yet It had not been
| accepted at the interior department. He
| said he was thoroughly worked down by
| reason of the arduous duties Of the office,
and that he did not resign for the pur-
pose of taking up the work Of managing
] the states politics for his party. Il have
| couple of very choice town sites, whose
| development promises much more to me
| than any political position, and to which
| I would prefer to devote my attention"
| stated the Red Wing editor, and he
| couldn't see the necessity of his banker
| ing after any of these political jobs
| One Of the sites referred to is at
! Bemidji,' and the owner of it regards 1t
| as a paying proposition.
! The statement that Mr. Bixby and Sec
| rotary Hitchcock had had some differ

! the Red Wing man was at outs with the
| administration was branded as nothing
| but lot of rot.'' Il have never had a
