Merchants, and says that the Third
gressionaI district will present the
name of L.. A. Rosing to the Democratic
state convention at-Duluth for delegate

to bring the Democrats of Mcleod to-
gether in the near future at county
banquet to be given at Glencoe.
The Fourth district Republican con-
greSsiOnal convention, when it met yes
terday morning at Federation hall, did
the expected in selecting e. G. Rogers
and F. B. Kellogg as district delegates
to the national convention. The con-
vention was a perfunctory affair, and
was not largely attended. Edward Yam
ish, of st. Paul, called the convention
to order, J. @. Macintosh, of Wash
ington county, was made temporary
chairman, and T. G.. -GroneWald, of
Ramsey, secretary. On motion Of w.
B. Webster the temporary organiZa ton
was made permanent Brief resolu-
tons, wholly Incompatible to the Mar
shall GrimshaW resolutions of the coun-
George F. Dix, of the municipal court.
The resolutions indorse the Roosevelt
administration, lay special stress on his
alleged antitrust procliVitieS, and in
dorse Congressman Stevens and Sen
atorsf Nelson and Clapp. The nomina-
lions of Rogers and Kellogg were made
by George H. Sullivan, of Washing
ton county, and included Frank ]. Lake,
of Washington, and P. H. Stolberg, of
Chisago counties, as alternateS. The
motion was carried with a whoop and
both Rogers and Kellogg responded in
brief addresses in which they declared
their preference for Roosevelt for the
presidential nomination and their SYM
pathy with him in his position on the
issues of the present. The convention
was in session less than half hour
Congressman Volstead won out in
| Redwood county, where his political adj
versaries tried to create trouble for
| procity. The delegation to the Orton-
vile convention was chosen from
among his friends.
Rock county Republicans indorsed
! Senator Bert Miller's congressional as

| verne. Rocksis Miller's home county
and the Endorsement was expected.
| Otter Tail county Republicans gave
| Senator Clapp an Endorsement in their

The defeat of w. w. Van Slyke for
a Democratic nomination for the as
sembly was one of the surprises of the
| primaries. It is assigned to the land
slide in the direction Of young men on
1 both the Democratic and Republican
1 tickets. A glance at the list of sue
! cessful candidates in both parties will
! show that very few of the older men
| are left to make the fight at election.
| City COMPTROLLER Betz has good rea-
son to be pleased with an analysis or
| the vote for comptroller Cox Klefer,
who was nominated by the Republicans
| to make the fight against Betz, had
practically no opposition, yet Eugene
1 Finger gathered in more than 1900
/ votes, some 800 more than were cast
| by both of Col. Wright's Republican
opponents for the nlayoralty nominal
ton. Betz led Kiefer by more than
/ HOO votes in the Eighth ward, where
| Kiefer was supposed to be SO strong
/
| spit of the fact that Betz had no op-
| position on his own ticket.

German voters had "a chance TO give

A glance at the Democratic assembly

nized the nationalities predomtnating in
the city.
!. Goodhue county Republicans yester-
i day Endorsed Frank M. Wilson, OF Red
Wing, for attorney general, and invited
4 him to enter the race for the nomina-
4 ton. Wilson was chosen a delegate to
the Faribault district convention and
! to the Minneapolis state convention,
and 1t is expected that he will an

ing these conventions and sounding the
sentiment of Republicans.

| district say that Senator William
Gausewitz, of Owatonna, is being urged
by the people from all over his district
and by Republicans as well as Demo
Gratis, to become a Democratic candi-

Gausewitz is a strong man, and, with
the feeling existing against Tawney in
his home district would make for
/ midable candidate.
