ttOn.
Those Republicans who have been as
suming that the state prison could not
get along without Edwin Dunn on its
board of managers, and some of whom
thought the fact should be so patent to
Gov Lind that he would not dare ap
point any one but the Eyota man to sue
ceed himself, were mistaken in their
judgment in at least one of these re-
spects, for the governor yesterday ap-
pointed E. w. Wing, of Wilkln county,
to the place made vacant by the ex-
piration of Mr.. Dunn's term. 1t is eX-
pected that Mr.. Wing will take the place
at the table tomorrow when the prison
board meets that has been warmed by
Mr.. Dunn since back in the,S0s. The
fact that Mr.. Wing is a farmer Is be-
lieved by Gov. Lind to make him as val
liable on the board, in view of the pres
ent status of the binding twine industry
at the prison, as a iumberman could be.
Today, too,. the board of managers of
the state refornatory will meet at st.
Cloud and it Is expected that the official
hcnors which the state has been heapinS
on w. H. Houlton" since about the time
that Mayor Kiefer was serving as wharf
master on the lower leveeAw win be cur
tailed by the resignation of the Elk
River man. The understanding Is that
Frank Randall, of Winona, at present
a member of the board it to be elected
to succeed him, in which case the gov
ernor will, presumably, have chance
to appoint successor to Mr.. Randall as
a member of the board.
The jefferson club will meet this even
ing at the rooms In the New York Life
building. There are some important
matters to be brought before the club,
some of which require two-thirds vote
of the membership, so that as large an
attendance as possible is desired
John c. Nelson, of Saltwater, is being
talked of as the Republican nominee for
railroad and warehouse commissioner.
A. lot of Republicans are wondering why
former Senator Theden of Minneapolis,
does not decide whether he wants to run
for secretary of state or for railroad and
warehouse commissioned, and then, hav-
ing once made up his mind, stay lit.''
Fourth ward Democrats to the number
Of sixty met at the headquarters of the
Democratic city committee in the Court
block last evening and organized a club
for the coming campaign. Officers were
elected as follows:
President-John B. Pewters
Secretary-H. o. Doolittle.
Treasurer-John Clark.
Sergeant -at-Arms-Lou Cornick
Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms = Richard
Fox.
President Pewters announced that the
object Of the club was not to indorse
any person for office, but to work for
the best interests of the party. A COM
mittee consisting of j. M. Dougherty,
Duncan Connell, l.. Cornick, George
Armstrong and Edward Dahl was ap-
pointed to draft rules and bylaws and
select name for the organization The
committee will report at meeting to
be held Feb. 49, Short speeches were
made by ]. M Hawthorne, J. B. Cow
ington, Robert N. Hare, L. Cornick and
Duncan Connell.
j. c. Howard, a Minneapolis real es-
tate dealer, who was formerly a rail-
roader, has yielded to the entreaties Of
his friends to become candidate for
the Republican nomination for railroad
and warehouse commissioner. Perhaps
this is what is puzzling Theden about
shying his castor into the secretaryship
arena
