From Tuesdays Globe.
A decidedly sensational twist was
taken in the senatorial fight yester-.
day when one of the most prominent
Evans men. a representative from
the northern part of the state,
quietly assured q friend that the
Evans boom had received it's death
knell His manner OF expressing it
was: "We are all in now, that's a
dead certainty" A noticeable lull
In the Evans fight was the subject OF
comment yesterday. MIR. Evans
and his managers were in the city
throughout the day, and they dix
not express themselves at all dis
couragingly in speaking Of their
chances, but it was generally be-
lieved that the Evans stock had exper-
fenced a decided, slump. A Sixth dis
trict Republican, who Is in very close
touch with the entire situation. in
formed a representative of the Globe
last night that MIR. Evans was as
good as out of the race. The plan OF
the opposition Is to cause deadlock
and then sacrifice Evans for Tom
Lowry. There will he O stampede
TOR the steeet railway magnate and
he will make q desperate fight for
the toga. Lowry has not yet de-
claired himself a candidate, but that
he Is one Is earnestly believed.
Among those who are said to he
managing his little craft are Al
Ferris, of Brainerd; Senator Buck
man, of Little Falls, and several
other Sixth district m en- as well as
Minneapolis men. Senator Buck
man, asked last night where he
stood, said he was not on the
Tawney platform. In the mind OF
the Sixth district, man referred to
above, this scheme is regarded as
one Of the most probable that is
now under way and it has com.
mended Itself to many others as be.
ing very plausible.

Thomas Lowry is still considered
the silent factor in the senatorial
contest. as he has been for some time
past. He is not an av0wed candi-
date and may not be for several days
yet. Many think he will reserve his
declaration until after the fight has
had it's inception in the legislature.

be slow to act. The scheme to sacri-
nee Evans finally for Lowry, as pub
lished In the Globe yesterday, is be-
lieved in by many more now than
when it was first mentioned. 1t is
held to be the exact plan and will be
put into effect at the most prOpitious
