JOHNSON MIND
ABOUT MADE UP
DEM. FAvoRITE EXPECTED TO
ANNOUNCE HIS CANDIDACY.
ST. Peter Man Spends the Day Con-
ferring With Party Associates In the
Twin Cities--He Is Certain to Be
the Nominee of the Convention.
John A. Johnson Is in town.

The st. Peter editor, whom the dem
ocrats intend to nominate for gov
ernor, came down to st. Paul this
morning and spent the day in the
twin cities, meeting representative
democrats, who one and all pledged
their support to him.
Mr.. Johnson was not ready to de-
clare his intentions when seen at noon.
He admitted that he had made the
trip down for the purpose of settling
the thing
TT has gone so far, now" he said,
chat I realize the public is entitled
to know my attitude. 1t has been
hard thing for me to decide, and |
am not ready to say just yet, but l
will come to a conclusion before go
home. I turned the proposition down
hard when it was first made to me, but
SO many of my friends have urged me
to reconsider, that have taken it UNI
der consideration. That is all l can
say at this time"
Mr.. Johnson lunched in ST. Paul
with Frank A. Day Of Fairmont and
Senator Albert Schaller of Hastings,
warm personal friends. A little later
he came over to Minneapolis and met
a number Of local democrats.
Johnsons friends are determined to
see him nominated, and expect him
to give his consent by tonight.
ance of truth is that the announce
ment will be made tomorrow morning
in the st. Paul democratic organ.
It is as certain as anything can be
in politics that Johnson will be the
nominee Of the Minneapolis conven-
ton next Tuesday. F. G. Winston OF
Minneapolis will be named for lieu
tenant governor, and if the wishes OF
twin city democrats prevail, a non
partisan judicial ticket will be
named. Judge G.. L. Brown will be IN
dorsed, and Judge John A. Lovely will
also be nominated. Two democrats
will fill the ticket, and one Of them
will be Judge G. E. Otis Of ST. Paul
The other would be John Lind, but
he has not consented to it. AS one OF
his friends puts it, Lind is afraid he'll
be elected"
He would be willing to go on the
ticket if he could be sure he could
help Johson, without himself landing
in a position he does not want.
The platform, in it's main features
will be shaped before the convention
meets, largely according to Mr.. John
sons wishes. The remaining noml-
, nees will be picked from among the
available men who are willing to &C
on the ticket to help Johnson win.

Committee influence Used.

Chairman Girling and Secretary
Rain of the county committee, who
were Dunn leaders, of course deny
that they are taking any hand in the
primary election contest. However,
there is a general belief that the Dunn
organization is being used in the con-
gressional and the mayoralty contests
as well as in less important ones.
James A. Peterson, who opposed LO-
rem Fletcher for congress bitterly two
years ago, is openly for him now, and
members Of the committee have urged
Fletcher's nomination because he will
help with the campaign fund.
All these things are keeping alive
the feeling between the Dunn and
the Collins men. The force working
for the county committee is just the
same as the one employed at fthe
Dunn headquarters before the con-
vention. It has simply moved across
the hall, while the old Dunn head
quarters have been occupied by Mr..
Fletcher. The Collins men do not
call at the headquarters Remember
ing the Dunn bolt in the county con-
vention, they will not recognize the
Dunn organization and the Dunn
headquarters. It follows that the sec
ond floor of the Boston block is still

AN ELECTION PROBLEM
Officers Who Are Candidates Can't Serve
on Canvassing Board.

How to get a canvassing board for the
coming primary election is the problem
that has been bothering County Auditor
Hugh R. Scott lately It will be settled
by the district judges shortly The pri-
mary election law provides that the board
shall consist of the clerk Of the district
court, the county auditor. chairman of
the board Of county commissioners and
two justices of the peace. 1t provides
further that no candidate can serve.
The latter provision prevents G. N
Dickey and Hugh R. Scott from serving
T. e. Barney, chairman of the board OF
county commissioners, is the only county
officer eligible Four out of the five can
vassers will therefore have to be ap-
pointed by the court. This will be done
soon.

Friends of William Lawler, who was

at Partridge, Mimi, ten years ago, say
that he was seen in the city few weeks
ago. His brother, E. j. Lawler, of Car

Minneapolis this morning to look for him.
He says that William left home when
his parents lived at Cascade Iowa, four
teen years ago, and nothing definite had
ever been heard of him. Since that time

CARRIES THE BULLET
McDavid Appears in Court When His A.

SaIanf Is Arra1gned.
James Siegers, who shot George Nc
David in the lung in a colored resort at
GIT Third street s, when arraigned this
morning, waived examination and was
held to the grand jury in $500 bail.
The quarrel arose over a colored woman
named Belle Perry. When McDavid was
taken to the city hospital it was said that
he could not recover. Last night, how
ever, McDayid said he was almost well
and wished to leave. The police were
notified, as it was feared that he would
disappear and not testify against the man
who shot him. His sudden recovery is
considered miraculous, as he still has the
bullet in his lung, but he was in court
this morning and said that he felt all
right. .s s.ssse.s4 IS
