The republican state central committee 4
will meet Wednesday at 2 o'clock in the
parlors of the Windsor hotel, st. Paul.
The business of the meeting will be to |
arrange for the time and place of the
nominating convention; also to decide on |
the apportionment and to determine |
whether a temporary chairman is to be
recommended
Every one wants the convention over
as soon as possible Some favor holding
it early in June, but the general senti-
ment seems to favor date Immediately
begin in Chicago June 81. 1t has been
suggested that the county conventions be
held on Tuesday, June 3d. anu the state
convention on Thursday, June &c. The
primaries could then be held Saturday
evening, June rs, or Monday evening, ac-
cording to the Judgment Of the county
committees. This is about the earliest
date. possible after the national convent
| ton. If the convention is called for
| week later it will come around the Fourth
Of July celebrations, and make trouble
| for the spellbinders who are wont to as q
sist the eagle in screaming.
| There will be no serious controversy
| over the date, but there will be a lively
contest for the honor Of entertaining the
convention. st. Paul yielded the first
convention to Minnea polls, expecting to be
conceded the nominating convention. Du-s
I luth republicans, thru Mile Bunnell at
| once announced that they We're going after,
the convention, and they have been after
1t ever since. The Duluth fight compli-
Gates the situation, and the fact that st.
| Paul has no suitable hall for the delegates
makes it possible that the zenith city will
| win out, in spite Of the opposition to
such a long trip for southern Minnesota
delegates. However the old Exposition
building, now the international Auditor
iun, is available for the use Of the CON
vention, and as it is an ideal convention
hail. the committee may decide it is
wisdom to come again to MINNEAPOLIS
There has been some talk Of the Duluth
| location being a Dunn move, but this is
not credited At least, the Collins men
/ say they have no fear Of holding the con-
vention there, as they believe their
chances are at least even in st. Louis
! county
i Members of the committee who favor
J recommending temporary chairman for
the convention are generally agreed that
$ Senator Clapp is the proper selection.
since Senator Nelson filled the same DO
!, sition two years ago. They believe ii
would be wisdom to delegate the honor
to the junior senator and give him an
opportunity to outline the issues Of the
campaign In such q. way as to sound a
keynote for Minnesota. 1t is also urged
that it Is better to select the temporary
chairman early, before possible compli-
cations may arise in the way Of contests
If there is to be hot fight over the
!. organization, it should not come to a heaf
! until 1t Is determined who are entitled
: to seats in the convention
. The Dunn men on the committee are
j not making any open objections to Clapp
! but they follow Mr.. Dunn's lead in talk.
