Barton.
DR.. A. ]. Stones boom for congress is
receiving no little impetus, and a pro-
nouneed sentiment is developing among
the Democrats of this districe favoring

meeting of the committee that set the
date for the district convention as Sept.
4 yesterday, the situation was informally
canvassed and much said In his favor.
DR.. Stone being a vigorous campaigner,
and forcible speaker. he is looked upon
as a strong candidate. At least half
dozen other well known Democrats of this
district have been spoken of in connec-
ton with the Fourth district congress
stonal nomination.

the state Democratic committee will meet
and transact it's business preliminary to
a good vigorous campaign that Is prom

wise the committee of some Of Mark
Hanna's ideas upon how a campaign
ought to be run. But best Of all Blk
bys cider barrell'' will be replenished.
and John s. Vandiver will breathe easier.
Just how much Of an allowance the ma
tionaI committee made Minnesota was
not made public in the press dispatches
telling of Mr.. Bixby's visit with the
President. but it may be assumed that
Minnesota by being rated with the doubt
full states. will receive at least share
of the s2O,OOO0GO campaign fund contrib
uted by the trusts.

The Democratic headquarters at Mer-
chants hotel is being enlarged. Four
extra rooms on the fourth floor have been
secured, making six rooms In all at the
disposal of the committee.
Several large political mass meetings
are being arranged for by the Democrats
to be held in the Auditorium during the

tation are being correspcnded with. Bryan
and Towne will probably address two
of the meetings.
The Princeton Union asserts that the
Democrats will make no real campaign
in Minnesota, will concentrate their
strength with the end In view of re-
electing John Lind as governor. 1t will
not be long until the editor and Auditor
Dunn will find that the Democrats are
making a fight on the entire ticket, from
top to bottom.
The Minneapolis Journal refers to a Re-
publican editor, who can't stand for the
party nominees, as follows:

Itself in referring to CaSWell, of the
Anoka Herald, as q ''pin-headed rooster"
Mr. Caswen incurs this frightful appel1a-
ton because he has seen MT to say that
he is not pleased with eeach and every
part Of the Republican state ticket. Mr..
Casweli, by plainly expressing his posi-
IlOH, proves ulDlS01 dS SOOup IL IOI d
better, Republican than those editors
who, while far from being pleased, have
seen fit to write nauSeating eulogieS on
the whole ticket. Mr.. Caswell has shown
that he ia the editor of his own paper,
His decision to support the whole ticket
on general principles will carry all the
more weight because he was independent
and fearless enough to say that in his
opion a mistake had been made. The
only way to prevent a repetition of mis-
takes is fearlessly to point them out
when made.
Among the new features Of this years
state fair will be mock session of the
Minnesota legislature. A call issued by
Lieut.. Gov. Lyndon A. Smith and Speaker
A. N. Dare has been sent to the members

meet at Institute hall the morning of
Sept. at IL o'clock.
A committee will be appointed by the
executive committee of the state fair
association, which meets today, to work
up interest in the meeting. The gather
ing will be in the nature of a reunion
of the last legislature and will be a
pleasant social event

from Red Lake Fails last evening, where
he attended the Popullst county conEen-
ton held there yesterday, says the
