GETTING FESTIVE

sign of restiveness was a motion to AID.

Senator Young, another Evans man. that
they mad Just voted on motion to adj

transacted, second motion was out OF

motion was to adjourn to a specific time

Half dozen Evans men rose at once

other caucus If such a motion prevailed
and the chairman conceded by saving il
would be an adjournment sine die.
The dilemma was ended by a 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 it. At

for refreshments.
A DEATH BLOW TO EVANS.
That vote puts Evans out of the race
as it 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 eight less
than enough to nominate. In my iudg-
ment there was no man who would ever
vote for Bob Evans who did not vo g
on the motion to adjourn. There were
1877 votes cast, and giving him tie three
not voting, it would only give him sixty
six votes,
The Evans men saw the point. and in
many of their countenances the disap-
pointment was plainly apparent. One
said in my hearing If we could have had
| another ballot some thing would have
| happened, but it was not ordained to 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 Eapp~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 5S-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 lie 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 ma
! jority of the delegation, think that II
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 Bixbys candidacy very
seriously, though he really did well last
| night under the circumstances. He is q
| shreTd politcian-for other people-but
| 1t looks as If he was illustrating in poll
| tics the old legal saw, that man who is
his own lawyer in court has fool for a
| client. Everybody wishes Blxby well
only In the Indian territory.
THE -DAJRYMAN.
Tawney demonstrated last night that
| the state thinks he has made a good con-
| gresham 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 cleo
is to he relegated to the derpnition bow
vows. Mr. Tawney is still in the city.
