MAY NAME THE
GOVERNOR HERE
MINNEAPOLIS LIKELY TO GET
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
st. Paul Has No Hall Large Enough,
and Duluth Is Not Favored on Ac-
count Of the Distance Interna-
tional Auditorium, Scene of Many
Conventions, May Be selected.

The republican state convention,
which meets in July to nominate a
state ticket, may meet in Minneapolis.
The international auditorium, for
merly the Exposition building, which
sheltered the republican national con-
vention in 1892, is available, and ii
is the only hall in the twin cities capa-
BILE of accommodating the delegates
There is plenty of room on the main
floor for the convention assemblage,
with gallery space for 1000 specta-
tors.
The republican state central COM
mittee will meet in st. Paul Wednes-
day, May 4, to decide on the time and
place for the convention. st. Paul
wants it, and claims to be entitled
to it because the convention of March
II was held In Minneapolis. But
since the ST. Paul auditorium was
torn down there is no hall in the city
large enough for the purpose. The
Metropolitan opera-house is the best
they have, and if the convention is
to be divided between the main floor
and the balcony. Those sitting in the
balcony cannot make themselves
heard below, and those in the rear
seats on the main floor cannot be seen
from above.
Duluth is strong bidder for the
convention, and offers a large hail.
but there is opposition on account of
the great distance that more than half
the majority of the COMMITTEES prefer
to hold the convention, as usual, in
the twin cities.
If this view prevails, the lnterna-
tional auditorium Is the only possible
location.

ARBOR DAY AND NO TREES
CELEBRATION OF TO-DAY IN THE
SCHOOLS OF MINNEAPOLIS WAS
Purely Academic.

This was treeless Arbor day in
the schools of Minneapolis. Plans are
under way for the uniform beautifica-
ton Of school grounds Of the city un-
der the Joint direction Of the park
board and the board of education.
For that reason no application was
made to the park board for trees this
year and none were furnished. In
discriminate planting of trees, it was
thought, would interfere with the
plans. ..
Arbor Day did not pass unnoticed,
however. In almost every school APP
propriate indoor exercises were held.
The pupils of teh Horace Mann school,
armed with shovels, rakes and hoes,
made flower beds and planted flower
seeds In the larger schools the
grades united in exercises. Talks, es-
says and instruction on tree planting
and plant life in general formed the
themes.

The FLOUR TRADE
CANT BE 7 RUSIED'
sEC'Y ROGERS so ARGUES IN.
ANNUAL REPORT.
Conditions Are Too Diverse and Mills
Too Scattered to Permit Control
ing Organization Domestic Flour
Demand Growing Faster Than the
Wheat Area.

EN- podled in the report of the sect
retary OF the Minneapolis Chamber of
commerce, copies of which will be
distributed to the trade on Monday, is
a paragraph dealing with the posi-
bil1ty OF successful -four trust. With
close combinations in oil, sugar, to-
baceo and other leading commodities
practically controlling the output and
sale, 1T has long. been the expectation
that flour trust will eventually be
formed, and that it will be mighty
one.
economic writer's have argued that
a hour trust will mark the culmina-
talon of the rise of the great Ameri-
can trust movement, as the people OF
the country would take bread con-
trolling combine as the last straw, and
would revolt
Secretary George D. Rogers does
not believe there is any likelihood, OF
a hour trust ever being formed. The
dlHlcultles In the way would be very
great. Touching this subject the re-
port says:
For many reasons no trust is pos
sible and no combination to control
the price of flour can be effective
There are some 500 flour mills in the
northwest alone. Add to these the
many thousands turnout the states
and 1t is plain that active competition
cannot be suppressed. What are
known as country mills thruout the
land have increased their production
while there was small reduction last
year in what are known as milling
centers. ifa
Domestic Demand Grows.
"The exports for the year were
19,554,141 barrels against 17,99S,531
barrels in 1902. giving a, total in
crease of 1,5S5,61O barrels over the
exports of the previous year. The
domestic movement was necessarily
larger in 1908 than in 1902, due to
increased population.
1T follows that more flour was made
in the last year to supply the larger
export and the larger domestic con-
sumption. Wheat acreage in this
country does not increase as fast as
the population increases. Our surplus
to go to other countries is decreasing.
In the last eight months the exports
from this country are less than half
as much as for the same time last
year, and yet the crop was not small

WHO'LL DEFEND AMEs
On Eve of Trial Arrangements Are Still
In the Air.

Former Mayor A. a. Ames upon the eve
of his trial seems to be without an attor-
ney. Henry s. Mead has withdrawn from
the case. and Nye & Deutsch say that
they have not been retained yet and do
not know whether they, will be.
Lawyers who have had to do iwth DR..
Ames and his legal battles profess to be-
lfeve absolutely that the doctor has no
money. and that the question as to who
twill wage his fight for him one of finances
only.
BY the death of the late Dr. L. B.
Allen. the bonds of former Mayor A. A.
Ames are reduced $4,000. This fact
however, does not worry the authorities
as there are still standing against DR..
Ames bonds amounting in all to $4,000.

FLETCHER MOTION TABLED
Garfield Club Disposes Of Motion to
Indorse ex-Congressman.


A motion indorsing Loren Fletcher
for the republican congressional nom
ination was laid on the table by the
Garfield club at it's bimonthly meet
ing last evening. The motion was
made by known supporter of Fletch-
er and was followed by a general but
temperate discussion in which. the va
rious speakers reprented practically
every ward in the city. There was no
personal animosity expressed, but the
opinion was that Fletcher was a
weaker candidate than he: was two
years ago and that it would be mis-
take to nominate him again. The ex-
tent to which this idea was held
showed in the vote by which the mo-
ton to table was carried.
On the question of reciprocity with
Canada, however, the meeting was a
unit in declaring for the policy which
had been preached by Blaine and Nc
Kinley.
The club will meet again May IL.
