This helps Iverson, but 1t is hard to see
where 1t Is going to do Ramsey county's can
didate any good The other candidates for
auditor are next and they threaten to
lay Reese out. The genial clerk does not
have enough of a cinch to dictate other places

Everett Hennepin is more than half against

he cannot look for much strength there, and
Halden's friends in the eighth will not do
much for Reese unless he does something for
.Halden. In fact, the friends of both are
cunning for Oar.

to the republican state
convention. Fred c. Schiffman was elected
secretary. Conde Hamlin was selected to
committee, George F. Dix for the committee
on credentials, and Theodore Gronewald will
be presented for assistant secretary Of the
convention.
The Clapp men sprung coup at last nights
caucus in the shape of a resolution pledging
support to both senators. They failed to
get an Endorsement in the county conven-
tion, and put it up to the delegation. The

Clapp, but just now they are more inter-
ested in the denomination of Reese. and to
avoid row put the resolution through with
| out a protest. 1t reads:
| Resolved, That we hold In the highest ap-
| probation both Of our United States sena-
tors, Hon. Knute Nelson and Hon. Moses E.
Clapp. Their high character, distinguished
ability and invaluable public services have
| reflected credit not only upon themselves,
| but upon the state and nation as we'll. AS

pleasure in pledging to them in the future
our earnest and loyal support. - ~

SAINT and Block were turned down. Cover
nor ives says 1t was because 1t had been

was not from hostility to either candidate.

Block, and that Van, SAINT resolutions would

! for q third term In 1904. Following the
| precedent of Bobleter and Koerner, he might
reasonably expect reelection at that time
