Both Committees Meet and Democrats
Select a Chairman,

The committees of both parties will
meet in st. Paul today to nnish the
preliminarieS to the campaign.
The work of the Republican commit
tee will be purely perfunctory, and as
announced will probably consist largely
| of talk about what should be done
without any reference to what will ac-
tually be done by the gentlemen who
will run the campaign, and who will
have very little use for the advisory
services of the committee as whole
after today.
The entire Democratic. committee
and the candidates will meet at the
Merchants. The meeting has a two
fold purpose. There are still three
members of the committee at large to
be selected, or rather announced, and
organization perfected by the election
of chairman. .....-
Under the laws of the committee it
is not confined to the membership of
the organization in the selection of a.
chairman, and an outsider may be Sc
lected. After the organization is per-
fected the general plan of campaign
Will be discussed. After the general
discussion today the campaign will be
left to the chairman and when he is
ready to start it concerted action will
be taken up.

PRIMARY LAW MAKES
DEFICIT IN FUNDS
Been Expended-New Law
Responsible.

Because of the extraordinary cost
incurred in the conduct of the late city
election, a deficit is likely to result
when the bills for the November cleo
ton are presented. Of the $4,000 set
aside for election purposes by the con-
ference committee, nearly $4,000 has
so far been paid out, and those in
charge of the fund are now wondering
what they will do when the November
contest arrives.
The shortage is credited to the new
primary law, the observance of which
entails almost as great an expense as
a regular election. Heretofore this was
avoided, the several parties paying
their own expenses incidental to the
selection of nominees, but now the city
at large must pay the bill
When the appropriation was made
last year the primary law was not con-
sidered, and as a result when the con-
ference committee again meets it will
have to make up a deficit. For judges
and clerks alone in the last city cleo
ton over $1,000 was necessary.
Heretofore only about one-half of
this amount was required.

GOVERNOR WANTS TO PERSON.
ALLY MANAGE EVERY LEGIS-
LATIVE FIGHT IN STATE.
CANDIDATES RESENT HIS
WHOLE THING" ATTITUDE
So Confident of a Walkaway That
He Wants to Gain Greater "GIory"
by Making All Legislative Contests
Personal Affairs and ivan SAINT Vic
tories"

The Van SAINT administration is talk
ing a hand in the legislative campaigns
to the intense disgust of some of the
legislators who would like to be cam
didateS to succeed themselves, and do
not enjoy the prospect of fighting both
the Democrats and an administration
faction of their own party.
According to the claims made by
some of the interested statesmen, Van
SAINT thinks he is right in the middle
of easy street, and is impressed with
the idea that his own campaign will
require so little attention that he can
turn part of his time to the laudable
task of getting even with the legiSla-
tors who opposed his pet measures, es-
pecially the ill-starred tax code.
The backdown of the insurgents at
the memorable committee meeting,
which cleared the track for Van SAINT,
put the finishing touch on the governor
of Minnesota. He then saw how soft
it was going to be for him to assume
the rule of party dictator for a couple
of years before taking up the task of
pulling Roosevelt through, with him
self as a candidate for vice president
Wants All the Glory.
The governor of Minnesota thought
so well of himself that the idea of
peace even at the price of Van SAINT
entertained by the men who stopped
the insurrection never occurred to him.
The makeup of his state central COM
mittee was in line with the same gen.
eral conception of his Importance and
the desire of his first lieutenants to in
sure against the enlistment of any
powerful men who might be expected
to cut in for a share of the glory which
they believe is to come in bales. f'
Candidates Resent Action
In the meantime a quiet hand was
taken in legislative fights throughout
the state, and now the objects of the
fight are getting ready to declare war.
Several conferences have been held at
the Merchants hotel and in every in
stance attended by members of the
house or senate who have found them
selves opposed by administration cam
didates. The men interested say they
are willing to submit to the chickering's
of the ultra Clapp element because
Clapp really has something at stake,
but that they will not submit to Van
SAINTS tinkering with their affairs after
he has landed the nomination and must
again look to them for support which
they have given him as a candidate for
election if not for his projected meas

REPUBLICAN SCHEME
RECEIVES HARD BLOW
City Attorney Holds That Three Dem.

of Abatement.

In an opinion furnished City Clerk
Mat Jensen, First Assistant Corpora
ton Attorney McDermott holds that
the three members selected by the two
bodies of the council as a board Of
abatement are legally entitled to act.
Mr.. McDermott says, however, that
Assemblyman Whitcomb, over whose
selection difference resulted, is not a
member. He cannot be recognized as
holdover or retaining his office until
his successor is elected. This one place
on the board is therefore vacant.
