three speeches Of
SPEECHES COMING. more than ordinary
interest at the repub-
lican state convention. The first will be
Senator Nelson's opening address as chair
man of the convention The second will be
the speech Of c. A. Morey nominating Van
SAINT, and the third will be Governor Van
SAINTS speech of acceptance. There may be
some oratorical fireworks not now on the
bills, under the head Of resolutions, for in
stance, but the three addresses will be delib-
erately prepared and full of key notes.

the self-constituted managers of the Ray
Jones campaign in selecting the Hennepin
delegation. They were practically given full
swing by Ray Jones and Chairman Steele,
and improved their opportunity. The result
is a delegation punched in some precincts,
and depriving many of representation. 1t Is
impossible, of course, to suit everybody, but
in this instance they seem to have failed to
suit anybody. -..s-5..s q ~
One result Of the feeling is the definite
plan to make George N. Matchan chairman
of the county committee for another cam
paign. He is not candidate, and no one
has asked for the job, but it is generally
understood that wires have been laid for the
selection of either Henry Hanke or S. L..
Trussel. The weeks developments have put
both out of the running and it is pretty
definitely decided that Chairman Matchan will
be asked to take the relns again.
l.. A. Rosing, who was in St. Paul few
hours yesterday, declined to make any pre-
dictions as to the management of the CAM
paign. 80 will leave all those subjects to
the committee he said. tfI have carried
those burdens for other people, and now that
am a candidate myself, expect some one
else to look after them" T.
The democratic platform was significantly
silent on the constitutional amendment sub
mitted to the people by the extra session.
The resolutions committee was evidently
afraid to foreclose this issue, and left it for
Candidate Rosing to decide. John Lind is
will probably take the same position. He
will favor instead a "wide-open" amend
ment permitting exemptions of any class OF
property and income tax. Such, at least,
are the indications.
The Mapleton Enterprise (dem.} feels de-
cidedly blue over the prospect, and after siz-
| ing up the ticket, concludes:
Had John Lind headed the ticket he would
have been elected, but from present sizing
up therc is not much doubt but that Governor
Van SAINT will continue to occupy the gov
ernor's chair for another two years.
The Elbow Lake Herald says:
A vote for Ray Jones or Oar Reese in the
republican state convention comes pretty near
being vote against Senator Moses E. Clapp
AS far as Reese Is concerned the state
ment is pat, but Ray Jones has the backing
OF Senator Clapp for the nomination.
Niels jacobson Of Rock county is can
didate for the house. That name will sound
familiar on roll cali. Here's hoping that
Neils will uphold It's reputation.
The Albert Lea Standard, which called
Paul Fontaine a traitor for talking an inde-
pendent populist ticket, since the nomfna-
tion of Rosing, falls In line and says the
pops will go it. alone.
The Little Falls Herald says 1t is ques-
tionable whether Joseph L. Meyer of that
place will take the democratic nomination
for state treasurer.
