The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-01-15

time all parties VIII h4V9 agreed to this.
Senator Benedict wass circulating a pc
tition yesterday which prayed for the
caucus on the short term senatorship
Thursday night.
1t is urged that 1t would be unfair 10
Mr. Tawney to take any definite action
In this matter until he returns. or until
his managers voluntarily give their APP
prevail Senator Sweningsen stated last
night that Mr.. Tawney- was expected
gack from Washington this morning, and
that if he came the matter could be re-
ferred to him personally, but if he did
not come he (Swensngsen) would sign
men are still as indifferent to the time
of holding the caucus as ever. They
have all along been in favor of the eau
Gus, and have not made any suggestion
as to when it should be held.
CAUCUS WILL NOT SETTLE IT.
There is every reason to believe that a
caucus will be held Thursday night but
there is no reason to believe that at this
caucus the short term senatorial fight
will be settled. 1t will inevitably go to
the legislature for settlement, so the vast
majority contend and may last for many
days before the final comes. That the
Democrats are to have an active hand in
this affair now seems certain. And the
Democrats are keeping pretty mum as
to what course they intend to pursue
Two of the prominent house members
were apprehended on the subject yester-
day and each pleaded entire ignorance
as to what course would be adopted
One of the most characteristic features
of the Lowry campaign, which is in the
shell even yet, is the size of their claims
Their claim that he will get the Demo-
cratic vote is suggestive, and another
significant one is that the Evans men
have expressed themselves as favora BILE
to Lowry as second choice. Sherman S,
Smith, for Robert G.. Evans, SAYS that
Gen. Clapp is the second choice of the
aennep1n delega ton. 1t is a little sig
hlncant that the Evans people have
reached that point when they will talk Of
a second choice.

nent Duluthians, among whom are the

The Republican state executive com
mittee held a meeting last night at
winch, according to the statement given
out to the press nothing but matters
pertaining to the last campaign came
before the committee. Capt Whitney
