ROW IN SIXTH DISTRICT
ON DATE FOR DISTRICT
CONVENTION
WHITE BEAVER Is TALKED OF
Fourth District POpulists Are Talk
Ing of Pressing Their Con-
gressiOna1 Nomination
Upon DIR. Powell.

lively mix is on in the Sixth district
between the Democratic and the Populist
district committee. Primarily the trou-
BILE lies in the call for district conven-
tons. The Democratic committee called
aid not by any means suit the Populists,
who assert that Aitkin, in the first place,
is the home of several Mid-Road Popu-
lists, and, in the second place. the date
makes 1t impossible for the delegates to
the district convention, any of them who
are to attend the state convention, to be
in ST. Paul Sept. 6, when the state con-
vention is called to order. The Populists
have called their convention to be held at
st. Cloud Sept. 4. The seat of the trouble,
however, is the congressional embargo.
c. A. Towne says he will not be candi-
date. The Populists declare they want
H. H. Austin to make the fight, and Aus
tin is said to favor Senator Baldwin It.
7. Hudson will stand for neither BALDWIN
nor Austin, and, in fact, may have ambi-
lions of his own. That is suspected in
some quarters.
The publication of the interview and
consultation Between Ogema Bixby and
the versatile BerryhilI has carried con-
sternation and general cautpering into
the ranks Of the aspirants for the Repub-
Hcan nomination for county attorney.
Horace Bigelow interrupted his sea bath
/ ing. and with more than post haste re-
turned and has been in deep conference
with the Fifth ward wheelhorses be-
hind Barney Zimmerman's ice house.
Sam A lmiphtW Anderson bac
! over the old files of the newspapers to
see II all that can be said against him
has been said, and E. Z. Mcdonald has
taken to his birch bark canoe and blanket
and is slowly and sadly shooting his ca.
noe up the raging Rum river way to the
wild and lonesome shores Of Mile Laos
| lake to listen to what the wild waves are
saying. Berryhill says he has the push
| going for the first time, and will keep
them going.
| DR.. Frank Powell Is being urged by the
Populists to represent the Fourth con-
gressional district as congressman. He
will be waited on by deputati ton in the
near future, asking him to stand for the
/ position. 1t is said he has moved his
legal residence here from La Crosse.
y
! If the twenty-five Democrats who gath
|
evening are true representatives of Hen
! nepin county Democracy, Philip B. Win
| ston will be the congressional candidate
of the party in the coming campaign
| 1t is possible that other party leaders
will take exception to such a statement,
] but as 1t is reported that all were in
| vtted to attend the meeting to consider
matters of great import to the party,
and that those who did plainly manifested
that they by a large majority, favored
Mr.. Winston. No vote was taken in the
matter, however, as that was postponed
until next Tuesday evening.
= The meeting was executive. J. C.
! Haynes was chairman and W. H Will
Hams secretary. A motion was passed
requesting the old county committee to
make arrangements for two evenings
during the week, at the federal building,
| when second papers may be secured by
men who have resided in this country the
| statutory time.
H. l.. Chaffee thought the time was
| opportune to decide which of the men
! Democracy should decide upon for con-
gress. He mentioned the names of S. A.
| Stocl1well, Frank Larrabee and Philip B.
! Winston.
| D. B. Johnson took the floor in behalf
of Winston
F. H Harris openly opposed Winston
on the ground that he had expressed him
self in favor of expansion. He was quite
! denunciatory in his remarks, and ex-
pressed himself as strongly favoring
! some man who Throughout had remained
| true to Democratic principles.
Mr.. Johnson maintained that Winston
was as good a Democrat as any in the
room.
