held at the Commercial club this noon.
The various plans for the entertainment
OF visitors were gone over. and DR..
Shepard complimented the committee
highly on the work already accomplished.
He predicted a large attendance for the
Minneapolis convention. but declined to
make any guess in numbers simply saying
that information already received led
him to believe that the attendance would
be fully I'D to the average. This means
about 10000 persons, but Secretary Wal
lace G. Nye, Of the local committee. ex-
poets the number to be considerably
larger. In fact Mr.. Nye hopes and be-
lieves that the coming convention will
break all N. E. A. records.
Just at present the committee is try
ing to find suitable halls for the various
section meetings. The Exposition audi
torium has already been secured, but in
addition several smaller assembly rooms
are needed, and these will be provided al
the high schools and the university, if the
street railway company will guarantee TO
furnish adequate car service. ~
Dr.. Shepard said this afternoon that
railway rates had been adjusted and pub
lished for points all over the country.
I'VE are now at work upon our pro-
gram" he continued. "and when that is

MODEST DEMOCRATS
They, Are Saying in the Ninth,
ssYou Take IT, .s.
NO GREAT PRIZE
Back-New Law a Check on
- 10 - Fusion. d..

Special to The Journal. f
Fergus Falls, Mimi, March 31.-The eff
feet of the new election law, which pro-
hibits candidates from running as the
nominees Of ;tWoeor more political parties,
is going to be more apparent in the ninth
congressional district than in any other
section Of the state.
The democratic party has never had
sufficient strength to make good show
ing in the ninth, but ever since the tidal
wave of the early nineties, the popu-
lists have been strong and in recent
years efforts Of the leaders have all been
directed toward the merging OF the two
parties. The new law is likely to put a
quietus on further merging, and this is
! one Of the reasons why the democratic
candidates are showing SO much hesita-
ton about entering the field. Mayor
Campbell OF -Crookson, who has been re-
garded by many as the logical candidate,
is quoted to-day as being strongly in
favor Of the nomination of Senator Daily
refuses to run, Mr.. Campbell wants the
congressional committee called together
to decide upon some other man.
Senator DAILY has been strongly urged
but it is stated pretty authorltatively he
does not want it, and Alexander McKin-
non, who is prominently mentioned, is
also showing commemorate modesty.
sentiment in the democratic ranks, al
though no one has ever accused any Of
the gentlemen suggested Of entertaining
the idea that the Office ought to seek the
man. r..
When the redistrtcting took place
about year ago, the ninth was left with
only small republican margin and the
fusionists expressed the utmost confidence
in their ability to carry it, hands down.
Events which have transptred since have
not served to keep up their hopes, how
ever. Every one admits that populism
has had it's day and is waning rapidly,
even in this section which has been It's
stronghold. New settlers have been
pouring in at an unprecedented rate and
as they generally. come from southern
Minnesota and Iowa and are men Of some
means, populistic ideas have no attraction
for them. Furthermore, conditions have
been such that republicans feel they are
entitled to a good-szed victory this fall,
| and their candidates are already making
\ an aggressive hght for the party .nonoina-
| tion at the primaries. 49,.

THE state ment in a morning paper that

Employers Liability association Of this city.
ut is true that the losses here have beer
great, but our agent, Mr.. Bryant, was mis-
quoted We have branches in every state

it safe to gay that the losses in this city
from burglaries are greater than in anq
other city of its size lin the country. 1 can
not of course, give the reason Of this but
l have heard it said that the police of St.
Paul are glad to let the crooks of the twin

fine their iepredations to Minneapolis. This
may or may not be so, but the fact remains
that we are having no end Of bold rob-

J0HNsON's MURDER

Alexandria,, MIMI, March a1.-Aearing
In the cases of Gustaf Larson and Andrew
Jacobson, who are suspected of being i'm
plicated in the murder Of Magnus John
son, was commenced here to-day. The
prosecution has two theories, one that the
OLD man was killed for his money and the
other that the murderers sought revenge.
It may be shown that both were motives.
It would not be surprising II other ar
rests were made shortly, as 1t Is believed
there was a conspiracy to remove the old
man and tfat others are concerned In it.
Larson is only boy and Is regarded as
rather weak minded. and If involved in
the murder it was probably as the tool
of someone else. - t.-r
