would-be younger controlling power, and
have gone in to down Schiffmann as the
representative of the disturbing element.
Schiffmann declines to en1ighten any
one on the details of his plans, but has
given it out that someone Will feel the
weight of his displeasure before the run
ming is over He has scarcely left his
office during business hours for several
days and is continually surrounded by
young Republicans who have made their
marks as intelligent and hard working
campaigners. He has never been very en-
thusiastic about his berth as oil inspec-
tor and for several weeks has felt that
the governors disposition toward him
is not the kindest The ingratitude of
Van SAINT has only served to kindle his
slumbering ambition to sit in the mayors
chair. One of the men who mas always
been close to Schiffmann, yesterday
stated, that Schiffmanns certificate of
nomination is filled out; properly execut-
ed before a notary, and only waits filing
with the county auditor to start one Of
the hottest fights the st. Paul Republic
ans have ever participated in.

Representative Carl Wallace, Mime
| apolis chairman of the Hennepin dele
/ cation, yesterday enrolled himself with
| the mighty slim roster Of Republicans
| who are in favor Of the procession eau
Gus, proposed by Gov Van SAINT. Mr..
| Wallace does not base his Willingness
to go into caucus on any other than
| personal business reasons. He said yes
terday that he would be willing to go into

| the republicans of the district rise up
! ana demand that Judge Collins accent

highly indignant over MitcheIPs alleged
unWarranted conduct. They say Judge
ColIlns has been trotted out as a candi-
cate against his will until he has been
maze ridiculous and that he will resent
TINS last liberty taken with his name.
