are supposed to know what they are
taking about Tams has not as yet
been heard to deny the statement. It
probably is true. His spokesman as

There will be very few, if any, found
to take sides against the authenticity
of this statement. Tams will, of course,
have TO resign his position as chairman
of the Dawes Indian commission, but
that will cause him no heartaches 1t
is well known fact that the Red Wing
editor and his royal highness, Secretary
Hitchcock, at Washington, under whom
he operates, as chief of the Choctaws
have been on the outs ever since Tams
succeeded in convincing the secretary
that the welfare of his party demanded
his presence III this state as chairman
Of the state Republican committee, the
manager Of the campaign, during the
fall. Secretary Hitchcock allowed him
self to form the idea that inasmuch as
Bixby had successfully courted the ap-
pointment in the Indian Territory he
ought to remain there and attend to the
duties of that position.
Owing to these ruff1ed feelings be-
tween Bixby and his chief it will proba-
bly, not be a difficult task for Tams to
gain the assent Of the secretary in Sc
curing his release from his present job.
There is still another reason for Bfxby,
above all others, assuming the helm at
the capitol. He is looked upon as the
only man in his party who can in that
position accomplish anything toward
keeping the organization intact for the
next two years. The entire Republican
family of the state is most heartily in
favor of Tams leaving his present job
and coming to the side of the man who is
to be in the governors Office after

NJ J. Bowling left for his Renville
home last evening and says he will not
be back until the first of the new year.
Bowling was still silent upon the sena-
torial proposition when he departed.
Adam Bede accounts for the failure
of the Duluth candidate to secure
8 fighting chance in the speakership race
by saying that he was 'laybourn' too
much under the impression that he had
gotten inside the Ferris wheel, which
may or may not be true.
E. H Dearth is now looked upon as
certainty for the office of state insurance
commissioner. Minneapolis, however, IS
not ready to stop bowling, say the Re
publicans on this side of the line, about
too many choice patronages going to st.
Paul men.

So 900 per annum for the burdensome du-
ties involved in the position, Eli war
ner may yield to his own burning desire
to be state oil inspector, but if any sell
fish power interferes to the extent OF
curtaiIing any part of the $4,000 annual
income which this trifling little job is
supposed to pay, Eli will register a

forcing this thing on a man at beggar-
