Will Be Harmonious
Unless all signs fail the state con-
vention5 today will be the most har-
monious in the history of the party.
Although there have been differences
in some sections of the state, particu-
larly in Hennepin county, all have
been adjusted and the prospects for a
harmonious and ,businesslike meeting
are excellent.
TAll the various elements, some Of
which were reported as being opposed
to the nomination of Mr.. Johnson, are
now aligned in his favor. Last night
a number of the leaders supposed to
be in opposition called upon him at his
Minneapolis hotel and held short
conference. What .transpired at the
meeting was not given to the public,
but the men who attended it announced
they were satisfied and would support
the st. Peter man.
Among those who were at the meet
ing and who declared themselves fav-
orable to the nomination of Mr.. john
son were T. T. Hudson, of Duluth,
| James r. Bennett Jr.. of st. Cloud;
w. H. Williams and J. r. Corrigan, of
Minneapolis e-s
I'VE are for Johnson and winston
announced Mr. Hudson, after the con-
| ference
Delegates to~the state convention are
| arriving in Minneapolis and st. Paul.,
and when it is called to order at u
o'clock today there will be large at
tendance. There seems to be little
contest fer places on the state ticket,
| but there is likely to be an animated
discussion when nominations of candi-
Gates for the supreme bench are taken
up.
It is here that the fight, if there
| should be one, will occur
| Many of the conservative Demo-
Gratis favor the nomination of Justices
Brown and Lovely Republicans and
| two Democratic candidates. They ar
que that by so doing they will demon
| strate to the Republicans they are in
| earnest in their contention that the
supreme bench. should be nonpartisan.
Frank A. Day, of F'airmont, is active
in spreading this argument and his talk
seems to carry weight.
The Seventh district delegates-or as
many of them as were in Minneapolis
held a caucus last night and among
| other things discussed the judicial sit
uation. Some of the speakers, while
| they supported Judge Brown, thought
1 1t would be improper to support JUS
| tice lovely because he had been turned
down by the convention of his own
party. These speakers were in the
minority, but no action was taken.
There will be meeting of the full
delegation at 2so'cloek this afternoon
F. G. Winston Will Accept
F. G. Winston has reconsidered his
! determination not to be a candidate
| for lieutenant governor. He was about
the West hotel last night in company
with Mr.sJohnson and both received
the congratulations of members of all
factions of the Democracy and num-
Der of, Republicans who will not vote
for the Republican Candidate for gov
| ernof.
Hennepin county, after kicking over
the traces Saturday night, has gotten
into line. This morning there will be a
meeting of the delegation for the pur-
pose Of selecting member of the state
central committee and the delegates
| will declare for johnson and Winston
by an overwhelming vote.
