MINNESOTA POLITICS
MARKETABLE The last play of the
insurgents is now
DELEGATES" Being made. Ennis
s saries are going the
rounds, trying to work up sentiment for I'M
instructed delegations on governor Their
hope is that a majority of the delegates will
go to the convention free to vote on gov
ernor as they please. A dark horse can then
be brought out by the opposition, and nomi-
mated by old-time tactics, with the railroad
influence at his back.
This move is meeting with little success
The Van SAINT bandwagon has picked UP so
many stragglers that there is little left for
the insurgents to work on. very good
criterion is the attitude of other candidates
Young and Bowling in the seventh are de-
clared for Van SAINT Grindelsnd is in the
same, class in the ninth. Buchanan in the
sixth openly favors Van SAINTS nomination
Bede in the eighth has been talking Van
SAINT for months. These gentlemen have been
over their districts, covering the northern
section of the state, where the opposition
is supposed to be strongest, and they know
what the sentiment is. 1t is unusual for can
didates for congress to declare themselves on
state offices, and the fact that these gentle
men deem it wise to express themselves in
public on the subject indicates the way pub
Islic sentiment is shaping itself.
ST. Louis county, it is said, will instruct for
Van SAINT for governor and Halden for audi
tor. Hennepin will instruct for Van SAINT and
for Jones for lieutenant governor The gov
ernor is named first on the ticket, and all
other. candidates will have to tote fair on
the goYernorship in order to get ,dair treat
mental the hands of Van SAINT sadherents:

L TO THE THOUGHT ping" that Is being
+ done by republicans
1 is this: With very few EXCEPTIONS the men
who are shaking their heads and declaring
| that Ivan SAINT can't be, elected are the
men. who do not want him elected, who would
rather see a democrat win, and will be a
constant thorn in the flesh during the cam
paign, because of their carping criticism and
| half-hearted support of the head of the ticket
MAY PULL Don't be so sure
about jacobson S
JACOBSON IN. Is withdrawal from poll
ties said we'll in
formed man yesterday. you are right in
saying that he does not want to run for
auditor, but should not be surprised to see
conditions shape themselves yet SO that he
will be a candidate
When last at the capitol, Mr.. Jacobson gave
the impression that he would stay out OF
politics entirely, and gave good reasons
therefor. 1t is fact, however, that within
| the last two weeks the strongest kind OF
pressure has BEEN brought to bear on the Lac
| Qui Parle man, from every section Of the
state, and he may yet be forced into the field
| He has many warm friends who are urging
| this step, but there is another class, men
with no particular personal regard for him
They realize his strength with the common
! people, and want him on the ticket for the
help he will give to it.
Messrs. Iverson and Halden have been ac-
| lively campaigning for weeks, and the entry
! of Jacobson would be a serious dsarrange-
ment to the plans Of both. The Iverson men
have been counting on Jacobson's support
Mr.. Halden's supporters are claiming Hen
| nepin county for. the Duluth candidate, on
| the strength of st. Louis county's support
of Evans in the senatorial campaign. They
are trying to work up a perpetual alliance
/ between Hennepin and st. Louis.
| The session of the executive committee OF
the republican state committee was brief and
harmonious yesterday. There was only one
thing to decide, the date for the meeting OF
the full committee, and May s was agreed on
without friction. All other questions were
| left without discussion, to the Judgment Of
the full committee. There is little doubt
4 however, that the convention will be early
4 probably by June II.

senator forever passed over any hope of sup.

years, but this is doubtful.

held, however, that the law did not require
