THINKS DEMOCRATS
CAN ELECT GOVERNOR
Chairman j. H. Buck, of State
Committee, Sees Chance in
Republican Row.

"The Republican candidates for gov
ernor are laying themselves out and
the Democrats of Minnesota will get
together along in the summer and will
nominate clean-cut fearless man for
governor who will be elected" said ].
H. Buck, of Winona, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee, at
the Merchants last night.
1.-THE Republicans are in a pretty
row, and see no good reason why the
opportunity is not ripe for the nomina-
ton and election of a Democrat as
governor Of this state. Everybody re-
members that in a presidential year
Gov. Van SAINT narrowly escaped being
defeated by John Lind, and with a
thoroughly organized and united party
behind the Republican candidate
Il fail to see how the Republicans
can ever get together after telling SO
many plain truths about each other
as they have in the past few weeks
and after having engendered a bitter
ness that has not been equaled in the
past decade of Minnesota Republican
politics, if ever before in the history OF
that party.
TT seems to me the time is ripe for
united action by the Democrats and
with strong candidate, even with the
prestige of a Republican candidate for
president on the ticket, there will be
thousands and thousands of Repub-
leans who will never vote for the nom
inee of that party after the scorching
fight that has been raging and prom
fses to continue in the party until long
after the nominations are made June
80.
1--WE will have a convention about Sept.
1 and we will be in position to take adj
vantage of the Republican turmoil and
bring out a man who will command the
respect and admiration of not only the
members of our own party but of a great
many Republicans, who are thoroughly
disgusted with the conduct of their lead
ing candidates for governor"
Chairman Buck, while advocating the
nomination of a man who will fill every
requirement as a candidate to make a
winning fight, declined to name a man
who is available. 1T is too early" he
said, land We will cross the bridge when
we come to it. There are a number of
men in the party who could be suggested
to lead the party on the state ticket this
fall, but it would not be wise to suggest
them at this time. The Republicans will
be given the fight of their lives-this fall,
and they may as well realize it now as
when it is too late"

FOR THE DAIRYME EN-
Butter Scoring Contest Will Be
Held Early In June.

The dairy and food commission is
preparing for the May butter scoring
contest held under the direction of the
department, which will be held early
In June. The delay is occasioned by
the fact that the department desired
that both the butter scoring and the
cheese scoring contests should be held
approximately on the same date.
Butter for the contest must be in
st. Paul June 2, and it Is expected that
nearly $50 entries will be made. AS
there are 68 to 20 cheddar cheese fac
tories IN Minnesota and the interest
among cheese men is strong in the
first cheese contest, 1t is believed by
members of the state department that
nearly all will be represented.
1t is not believed that the brick
cheesemakers will exhibit their prod
uct for scoring, as it is not sufficiently
ripened as yet. The two contests will
be conducted by the dairy and food
department, but the scorers will be
independent of the commissions rep

1t was stated last night at the Collins
headquarters in the Manhattan block that
statement had been prepared and would
be given out for publication this morning
which would Include copies of the CORE
spondence that had passed between the
railroad president mentioned and Judge
Collins and State Librarian z. A. Mel

The situation in the two rival Repub-
Hcan camps yesterday was quiet after the
storm, and the fighting factions had lit
tie to say Of what they intended to do.
The Dunn men were apparently resting
on their oars in anticipation of a state
ment from Judge Collins. A close friend
Of Judge Collins said last night that his
statement would include a review of the
situation, his position past and present
regarding the ST. Paul railroad president
and copies of the correspondence that had
passed between them since last Friday.

BUNKMATES MEET
AFTER FORTY YEARS
Veterans, Parted In Hospital.
Reunited in F Federal Build
ing Corridor.

'Bob!"
"Jeff!"
With these familiar salutations two
gray-haired veterans of the Civil war
met in the corridor of the postoff1ce
yesterday afternoon for the first time
since they were bunkmates in the
army hospital at Rood's Landing on
the Pumonka river forty years ago.
They were Lieut.. Jefferson Knapp, of
Sacramento, Cal, and Robert McElroy,
employed as a Waterman at the fed
eral building, where the two met acct
dentally yesterday after being sepa-
rated so long.
The meeting was a most pathetic
one, and more than one passerby
stopped and gazed as the two old men
bent under the age of years and hard
ships, embraced each other with tears
In their eyes, utterly regardless of
their surroundings.
Lieut.. Knapp, en- route to his home
In Sacramento after a visit in the East.
stopped in st. Paul for a day and dur
Ing the afternoon decided to paw a
visit to the federal building. Passing
through the corridors on the main
hoor he came face to face with Watch
man McElroy. A moments hesitation
and the man from California ran UP
and held out his hand, calling his old
comrade by his first name. Mr. Nc
Elroy was rather nonplussed, but only
Tor an Instant, and then he recognized
IN the man before him his old COM
rade and bunkmate, with whom he
had enlisted in Company F, Thirty
sixth Wisconsin volunteers, but whom
ne had not seen or heard from in forty
long years.
Overcoming the surprise incident to
their meeting, the two veterans went
back to their experiences of the war,
and a more pleasant afternoon could
not have been had by two persons.
Ihe last time Lieut.. Knapp and Pri-
Vate McElroy met as soldiers both were
privateS confined to the hospital after
having been severely wounded in the
battle of Cold Harbor June 8, 1854
MIR. Knapp was the first to recover,
and bidding his old comrade good-by.
returned to the firing line, being later
made a lieutenant for bravery dis
played in capturing a rebel flag Nc
Elroy did not leave the hospital until
the following October, and never heard
what had become of Knapp.
AT the close of the war Lieut. Knapp
went to Texas, where he took up ranch
life and lost all track of his comrade,
whom he did not know was living until
he met him yesterday.
II would have known you in a thou
sand, Bob" is the way Lieut.. Knapp
expressed himself to McElroy. THE

request of Mr.. Burdick, the local man
ager of the street railway company"
Dobner Stands by Corning.
ANY man who comes here and ac-
cuses Aid. Corning with betraying his
constituency at the request of a cor
poration will not have a feathers
weight with me, and believe that the
other members of the committee feel
as I do" asserted Chairman Dobner.
Mr.. Corning stated that he did not
recall having made a promise to vote
FOR the resolution, but remembered
having stated on one occasion he would
be glad to do all that he could" or
That he saw no reason why he should
oppose it." He held that his constitu-
ents were all the people of the city,
ana did not believe that he had been
guilty of "betraying them" AS to the
proposed extension he had not made
up his mind as to how he would vote,
put II the extension was practicable
ne would like to see it go through.
Harris Aronson, another one of the
numerous delegation present and IA
Voring the extension, followed the lead
of Mr.. Hunt, saying:
Never having been in politics, I
cannot tell if the request of Mr.. Bur-
dick, for the street railway company,
should be of more importance to our
alderman than his promise and duty to
your petitioners to assist them in Sc
curing this extension, at the urgent re-
quest of our district, in his ward. Nine
times out of every ten it takes the peo-
pie of our neighborhood from seven
teen to twenty minutes to get a car,
and twenty-five minutes to get down
lifa11
takes to go to Minneapolis. It would
require but one additional car to OPP
crate the extension, and the argument
that 1t would congest travel on the
Selby hill does not hold good, for the
reason that the cars would run no
oftener than they do now"
Report Against Resolution.
An effort was made to refer the
measure to Aid. Corning, who did not
appreciate the implied confidence, and
asked that the committee take action
The vote was to 2, Messrs. Dobner,
Bantz and Moriarty voting in favor Of
the unfavorable report, and Messrs.
Holt and DahlquiSt against such ac-
ton
The ordinance requiring that the
street railway company give a ten
minute service on the Merriam Park
extension of the Selby line was yes
terday recommended for passage by
the committee.
Several persons interested in the ex-
tension Of the "Selby Short" line to
Griggs street argued that this meas
ure was being put through to kill their
effort, and c. J. Hunt charged that
it was street railway measure.
Chairman Dobner called upon Aid.

had introduced the measure, and Elder

STUDENTS PRESENT
CLASSICAL FANTASY
Central High Pupils Score Sue
cess in "a Midsummer
Nights Dream"

The presentation of ga Midsummer
Nights Dream would seem to be a
formidable undertaking for high school
students, so much is demanded in the
way Of stage settings. But the stu
dents Of the Central high school pre-
scented it so successfully last night that
the audience was not once permitted to
feel that Shakespeare's exquisite fam
tasy was being irreverently treated.
The college version of the play,
which was the one used by the stu
dents, is In three acts, with two scenes
in the first and the second and one in
the final act. The principal characters
were all intrusted to capable hands,
the scenery, while simple was in eX-
cellent taste and adequate, and the
costuning was artistic and. correct.
Dance of Fairies.
One of the prettiest features of the
play was the dance of the fairies.
These fairies were pretty, graceful
girls, who looked exceedingly fairylike
in their flower decked draperies, to
which were fastened gauzy wings.
Their dance was warmly encored.
Adolph Rank, who played the part Of
Bottom, the weaver, has genuine dra
matte talent, and he made this capital
by the excellence of his acting. In

carpenter, he had a capable assistant

tania, and little Gerald Walsh, as the
mischievous Puck, or Robin Goodfel-
low, was an exceedingly dainty and
attractive little elf. The two heroines
of "A Midsummer Nights Dream if
heroines they may be called, were we'll
played by Miss Elizabeth Breen and
Miss Lillian Goodenow. Little Miss
Breen in stature and general appear
ance fitted perfectly the role Of Her
mia; and Miss Goodenow was 'fdivinely
tall and most divinely fair" as Helena
should be.
William Crosby and Donald Myers,
who played the parts of Lysander and
Demetrius, respectively, were most sat
isfactory, and Paul Berrisford, as the
duke, and Gertrude Ford, as the queen
Of the Amazons, aided in the success
Of the play. The parts of the trades
men were all well taken, Ralph Nc
Guckfn, who was Starveling, the tailor,
being especially good.
Credit for the success of the produc-
ton is due not only to those who took
part In 1t, but to Miss Austen, who di-
rected 1T, and to Miss Olive Long, who
assisted in staging 1t. The play viii be
presented again this evening.
