Boobar and Buchanan Confident.
John J. Boobar says there is no doubt
| about Buckman's election, and Senator
Buchanan himself apepars confident. The
! for Du Bots by 5000 '"That is ridicu-
| lous" says Boobar. >"Those 5000 MAORI
ties are historical. They will never hap
pen again.
| DR.. Du Bots is counting on large repub-
lican disaffection in Meeker, Wright, Sher-
| burne, Todd and Douglas, the Foster
strongholds, but the republican managers
are unable to locate it. Colonel Foster is
| out for the whole republican ticket and
the Buchanan people say his supporters
| will be in line.
MIR. Boobar complains that the time left
for campaign is too brief to cover a con-
gressional district in the, old way. 1--WE
nave to put up a strenuous campaign"
/ he. said, but I suppose we ought to do
that to be up with the spirit of the times"

Does Not Look Like Apathy.
Ramsey county republicans turned out
to greet Governor Van SAINT last evening
in a way that gave the lie to stories Of
apathy in st. Paul. Two crowded houses,
one in the first and one in the eighth
ward, listenened to the governors speech
on the issues Of the DAY. He got rounds
Of applause at both places, showing that
the rank and file Of the party in Ram
sey are with him, regardless of the old
leaders. Congressman Stevens spoke ably
at both meetings. c.. F. Staples, railroad
commissioner, talked on the record of the
party in Minnesota.
"Cap." Riley Calls 1t Names

$40 was paid for newspaper advertising,

This monstrosity called a primary cleo

The Westbrook Sentinel says:
THE Hon. J; T. l M{cg 6:eslry jollies us
tinel we are recognized as one of the
leaders Of the republican party, and com
pliments us with a republican campaign
handbook and a lot of hints for a beau
tiful crop of free advertising. He forgot
to enclose check large enough to lift
the mortgage on our1office.'
Since the primary election, which gave
Of an Shq n
the political "graft'' it is said to be the
hardest kind Of a task to get any volun-
tary work out of them. Men who in times
past have put their shoulders to the
wheel just for the fun and glory Of the
thing, now stand back and want to know
what there is in it?'' This is a common
complaint from county committeeman.
The republican state ticket occupies q
top column position on the editorial page

mary election bill in" the legislature il
1901, and warmly supported the Dunn bill
!. which was substituted for it, goes on tn
/ ballot. by petition. u He: is an independ
