II was Tor the most part a dull. mo-
notonous evening. AS the detailed bal
lots elsewhere show, there were but few
ehdnges and the only one that seemed

apparently thinking it was the pracnrso,
OF something about to happen They I,ere
nor nor SO far wrong about the happening as
the caucus adjourned without taking an.

tney evidently thought it was something
else which would happen.
GETTING FESTIVE.
The roll call continued in its monoto.
nous way until 11:3O p. M, when the first
elsA Oh reStlYenesS was a motion to ad-
journ until Monday at D. m This was
Voted down, and the balloting was re.
sumcd until little after midnight,
ihen Represent ative Riley moved to adj,
Journ until l p. m. Saturday. This. too
tts was Eoleo @ DOWN by a vote of SO to 50. and
\
| close vote indicated that the next at
tempt to adjourn would win, and it did.
AFTER the fourteenth ballot was taken
peterson, of New Ulm, moved to adj
Journ until p. m. today. This was de-
1eated, and the chairman was about to
order another ballot when Sid BarteaI1
mace nat motion to adjourn Roberts
an evans man, shouted that that wouI1
| emu the caucus. A brief wrangIe occurred
| over the parliamentary point made by
! senator Young, another Evans man. that
| they mad Just voted on a molten to adj
! 9ourn, and, as no other business had been
! transacted, second motion was out OF
order The chair ruled that, as the other
motlon was to adjourn to a specific time
| nat motion to adjourn was in order.
| Hair dozen Evans men rose at once
| 10 explain that there could not be an
! other caucus If such a motion prevailed.
ana tne chairman coincided by saying it
| would be an adjournment sine die.
The dilemma was ended by motion To
adjourn to 2:30 p. m. today, and Bar
| teau accepted the amendment The roll
| was called and seventy-four voted for
! the motion and sixty-three against II. At
IZ:4O a. m. the caucus hastily dispersed
! for refreshments.
A DEATH BLOW TO EVANS.
That vote puts Evans out of the race
| as 1t shows that the field is reso- -utely
! against him. Every Evans man voted
! no and ten others who had not declared
! Tor Evans joined them. GIVE him the ten
| and he has but siXty-three, or eig1t less
| than enough to nominate. In my judg-
ment there was no man who weuld ever
vote for Bob Evans who did not vo 9
! on the motion to adjourn. There were
1S7 votes cast, and giving him tie three
1 not voting, it would only give him sixty
| six votes.
The Evans men saw the point. and in
| many of their countenances he disap-
| pointment was plainly apparent. Ono
| said in my hearing, If we could have had
another ballot something would have
happened, but it was not ordained 10 hap
pen and it didn't. You see thing that
are not going to happen never Happen
because if they did happen it would be
because they were going to Iapp-n and
not because they were not gong t. hap
pen.
And that demonstrates that Evans is
out of the race The alpha and omega
of his strength is apparently 52-the votes
he had on the first and fourteenth bal
lot, and the field is against him. He
might as well cast about and see what
he can do tow ards naming a man for thu
position he has lost. Presumably he II
not much enamored of Tom Lowry, but
then there's Moses, for instance. He has
a patronyomic which Las led people out
of the wilderness before.
WHERE LOWRY IS AT.
Lowry could scarcely be said to have
been in it last night 1t is explained
that what he was after was to have
Evans show his strength before 6eveI-
oping his own, and that he loaned his
support to other candidates until Evans
had run his race. Then he would call
on Hennepin county to come to his res.
cue. But as Hennepin county, or a ma
jority of the delegation. think that If
Lowry had not entered the field they
would have won with Evans, 1t is in
the womb of the future to determine
whether they will support the man who /
smote them. Still those who think Tom
Lowry is not in it because he had but
three votes last night, may live to find
they were mistaken. He has wheels, !
and they are not all in his head either
BRER. BIXBY.
Nobody takes Bixby's candidacy very
seriously, though he really did well last
night, under the circumstances. He is a
shrewd politician-for other people-but
1t looks as If he was illustrating in poll
tics the old legal saw, that a man who is Z
his own lawyer in court has a fool for a I
client. Everybody wishes Bixby well
only in the Indian territory.
THE -DAJRYMAN.
1aWIey demonstrated last night that
the state thinks he has made good con-
gressman and it would not be right %
deprive the First district Of his services.
His district has large dairy interests, and if
they should pan their milk over the whole
state they would not get as much cream
as they do now. In fact, Tawney is real
cream in the house. while he might not
be anything more than skim milk in the
senate. You can make butter out of
cream. and that is what we need If oleo
is to be relegated to the deTnnition bow-
vows. Mr.. Tawney is still in the city.
THE REAL THING.
AS 1t stood at 12:4O a. m. today the
