ClAPP WILL NAME
COMMIT TEE TODAY
Republican POLITICIANS Hurry to
ST. Paul to Give Senator
Theif Advice

republican politicians of the state
are gathering in st. Paul to offer adj
wee to Senator Moses E. Clapp for his
consideration in the naming of the Re-
publican state central committee to-
day. 1t is not known that Senator
Ciapp has exhausted his telegraph
! frank book in summoning them to
conference, but quite number have
come OF their own motion and are pour,
ing into the more or less receptive ear
OF the Junior Minnesota senator sug-
gesuons which they hope will be adopt
ed when the senator names the central
committee today.
The candidates on the ticket are to
| meet Senator Clapp in a conference at
IL o'clock this morning at the Mer-
chants hotel and out of this conference
/ VIII evolve the state central committee.
II IS expected that the senator. who,
by virtue Of the fact that he was per-
manent chairman of the Republican
state nominating convention. has the
authority to name the committee, will
make the announcement GIFTS person
mel Immediately after the close of the
| conference
The committee will consist of OF
members, one for each of the Is judi
elal districts of the state and one
Tor each of the nine congressional dis
trlcts. The chairman will be desig.,
mated as such by Senator Clapp and thu
secretary is to be elected by the COM
m1ttee, but it is generally understood
that one member will be named with
special reference to his later election as
secretary of the committee
Verify for Secretary
1t was said last night by man close
TO the Dunn element in the Republican
party in Minnesota that William r..
Verify, of Wadena, would very likely
be chosen as secretary of the commit
tee, and that he would have the in,
dorsement of Dunn and his close polit.
lcal friends on the committee for sec
rotary. Verify resides at Wadena. but
during the pre-conventfon campaign
was in charge of Dunn's Headquarters
in st. Paul.
Senator Clapp is credited with tell
ing friends yesterday that he would
yield to the wishes of Mr.. Dunn ana
name Condo Hamlin, of st. Paul. chair
man OF the committee. The other ST.
Paul men to be chosen for a place OH
the committee will be man acceptable
TO Senator Clapp and Judge E. A. Jag
gard, the latter being candidate for
| the supreme bench, but the Dunn men
will insist that he be a friend of
Dunn as well. 1t is rumored that c.

| chairman of the executive committee.
1.-The Dunn men throughout the state
are not making a fight for anything"
one Of Dunn'S ST. Paul leaders said
| last night, but Senator Clapp, with
realization that Dunn was not only
nominated for governor by the state
convention, but that his personality
| dominated the convention, will natu-
rally name majority of the commit
| teemen who are known to be extreme
| ly friendly to Dunn.
Il think the placing of Condo Ham
] lin at the head of the committee has
been conceded, and we expect w. z.
| Verify, of Wadena, will be secretary
| of the committee. He did good work
for Dunn in the preliminary campaign
and is amply qualified for the position.
| We have notified Clapp that we want
| Hanlin for chairman, and as to the
second man from Ramsey county, we
only ask that he be not unfriendly to
r. G. Dunn He will be man who
will owe his appointment to Senator
| Clapp and Judge Jaggard, and will be
understood to be their personal repre-
sentative on the committee
Tangle in Roseau County
! The committee when named will be
presented with tangled problem from
Roseau county. There were rival dele
| cations from RoSeau county asking to
be admitted to the state convention,
| but the committee on credentials re-
| fused to seat either delegation, AMI
| the convention indorsed the actor.
| Three conventions were held in the
county prior to the state nominating
convention, two of the crowds being
for Dunn and one for Eddy. The re-
fusal of the state convention to recog-
nize any of the conventions as legal
| leaves Roseau without a county or
| mittee recognizes one of the conven-
! tions.
The papers have been sent to Peter
E. Hanson, secretary of state, with q
request that he bring the matter to
| the attention of the new committee.
Mr.. Hanson will take UP the Roseau
/ county case upon the organization of
