When only one additional mem.

disposition to leave the districts

from the Seventh district who
CHANGED to he on the inside regarding
this matter, assured the Globe re-
porter last night that Gov. Van
SAINT had hurt the feelings of some
very staunch friends up toward
Stearns county by turning down
their man, Gilman. The Republl.
cans from st. Cloud, who espoused
the cause OF Mr.. Gilman, had broughp
to bear the argument on the gov
ernOr that Stearns was justly en-
titled to this plum for the manner in
which she han reduced her bullying
Democratic majority in the last
election, but the governor and his
private secretary, who are no doubt
pretty well informed as to the Dem
ocratic slump in Stearns county,
turned a wooden ear to the song
and so Gilman went down.. GrOn-
dahl is from Tams Bixby's town,
and OF course has a strong backing
from the man who made Van SAINT
governor, so it is evident why Gill
man, of st. Cloud. was set aside.
