are depending on the fairness Of the
country delegates to keep the Col
Inns delegation from the twin cities
in their seats. Several Dunn dele
gates seen this morning said their
counties would not stand for unseat-
ing the regular delegations. They
made the claim that Dunn could con-
troll without Hennepin and Ramsey.
Senator Clapp's proposal is to appoint
O. committee of twenty-one on Gre
and one for Eddy.
The Dunn men may unseat the Col
Inns delegations in Benton and Bel
trami and leave those in Hennepin
and Ramsey on the principle that
petty larceny is less objectionabl
them eighteen more delegates ana
probably control Of the convention.
The state central committee has seat
ed both delegations from Cass and
Roseau counties, and also from Sher-
burne. This gives each side half a
vote on the temporary organization.
The boilers from Hennepin and
Ramsey counties could get only ad-
mission seats.
Dunn Leaders Chosen.
There was a meeting Of the Dunn
leaders at the Merchants hotel this
morning, at which w. b. Anderson of
Winona was picked for Dunn's floor
leader, to be aided by Senator Lay
ernor Rice of Willmar, and Senator
Andrew Stephens Of Crookston. 1t
was decided to have q motion made by
Anderson that Senator ClaRp appoint

this decision the Dunn faction was
given to understand 1t was Clapp's in
fention, II permitted, to appoint a Gre
dentials committee Of twenty-one
members to be made up of two mem
bers from each judicial district, al
lowing two from st. Paul and two
from Minneapolis. This would make
twenty, who were to be equally d.
vided between the Collins and Dunn
factions, then one man was TO be ap-

HANSBR0UGH TALKS
REVISION TO ROOSEVELT

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
ashinston.
0 Washington, June 3d.. Senator
Hansbrough was in Washington few
hours today. He called on the presi-
dent and talked to him about political
conditions in the west and the recent
national convention and the efforts in
behalf Of tariff revision in the COM
mtttee on resolutions. The president
has not indicated what he will do on
this question, but is getting the views
of senators and representatives, and
will almost certainly send a revision
message to the congress which con-
venes in December, 1905, in the event
of his election this fall.
Senator Hansbrough has gone to
New York, and will go from there
to North Dakota.

the manner Of choosing credentials

anything else. they agreed re-
cess till Q o'clock. just following SEN
ator Clapp's speech. During the rec
cess G. G. Whitney of Marshall. Sec
rotary Of the state central committee,
received the credentials and with the
assistance Of Charles w. johnson OF
Minneapolis, made up temporary
roll.
Issue Still I'm Doubt.
The issue Of the struggle is still Ia
great doubt. It depends on the set
Element Of the contests. Any arbitrary
action on either side, which will se-
cure a permanent advantage, may re-
suit In a bolt Of the losing faction.
Every effort Is being made to prevent
such result, but the convention is
smoldering powder magazine and
needs only a spark to touch it OF.
Senator Clapp, 1t is understood, will
rule that sitting delegation cannot
vote on its own contest. This means
that if the Dunn forces are held in
line to vote for unseating either the
Hennepin or Ramsey delegations, they
can control the situation. With either
delegation debarred from voting.
Dunn will be ahead.
There Is a strong sentiment against
such a course. It Is believed that
throwing out the regular delegates
from either county would result in q
Collins bolt.
Dunn Men Oppose Boilers.
Delegates wearing Dunn badges
from Redwood, Houston and Faribault
counties, among others. have declared
that the twin city bolts have no merit,
and they will not agree to recognize
them The Swift county delegation
Of eleven, controlled by b. T. Young
OF App1eton-candida for attorney
general--is also opposed to such pro-
gram.
Unable to force that kind Of deal,
the Dunn men may instead fight to
unseat the smaller DELEGATIONS from
Benton, Beltrami, Cass, Roseau and
Sherburne counties. This will be
harder to accomplish, as 1t will permit
practically the full voting strength of
the convention to take hand In each
case. The outcome depends largely
on the attitude Of the credentials COM
mittee in these cases.
Strong pleas are being made for

HENNEPIN IS READY
Caucus Chooses Grinshaw as Leader
HE Opposes Gilfllan.

Hennepin county has but one OBJ
feet in the state republican convention,
and that Is to nominate Judge w. L.
Collins. At a meeting Of the
delegation at the federal build
ing in st. Paul this morn
ing, w. H. Grimshaw was authorized
by unanimous vote to dispose Of
the whole 113 votes In any manner
which would advance the interests of
Judge Collins to make a trade for any
candidate, using the whole 113 votes,
or divide them, as he thought neces-
sary.
Mr. Grimshaw was formally elected
chief steerer for the Hennepin men,
and he appointed as his lieutenants,
Mortimer H. Boutelle, Geo. P. Will
son, VIM. P. Roberts, Tom Brown,

No other member Is expected to dip
in. He announced that the state
steering committee consists of Senator
Ripley, T. Brewer, of st. Paul; Mike
Bowling, Frank Wilson, DR.. A. A.
Dodge, Of Rice county, and w. H
Grimshaw. Every move they made
should be supported by the Collins del.
egation as one man.
Mr.. Grimshaw, In calling the meet.
Ing to order, urged that some one be.
sides himself be selected as chairman
of the delegation, as he had been hon

elected him with loud cheers. His

 The officers and deputies of the marshapS, clerks. district attorney and commissioncr's offices are high lv commended for the manner in which their duties are performed and their courteous treatment of all having business with their de- partmenfs.

 Speaking of complaints made against various commissioners and deputy marshals, the report says:
 These troubles, while seemingly
 trivial and unimporiant. have. in certain eases, formed serious obsta-
 cles to the proper performance oi the duties of said offices. and eme-
 nate chiefly from the fact that that
 these officers have apparently un- derrated the dignity and import
