f. Senatorial politics cropped out at the
! nleeiing of candidates yesterday for the
;fselection of the new state central COM :
m'ttee, and Senator Clapp. as the ap-.
pointing power, was placed I'M Their an
embarrassing position. 81 VI ssSSss 81
The action of the state convention IN
l1ndorsing Clapp for re- election is claimed
4 BY his, friends to make him a candidate
on the state ticket as much as any other
nominee, and therefore tossentitle him to
representation on the committee. Having
the power OF appointment in his own
hands, The senator was In position to
! set that representation. How ever, he con-
4 tinued TO- act as a harmon1zer, as he did
lat the convention, and SO his demands
1 were limited to the appointment of United
States Marshal Grimshaw.
i The appointment of Grimslaw was Of
4 fensive to Mr.. Dunn, because the marshal
had been one of the most active Collins
leaders. Dunn had been having his own
way with the list, and he was disposed
W SldHu Jul against SIrlI1lSlldW. Hr Sidpp
checked him neatly by an objection to
James A Petersons who is held, responS
siblc for the launching Scf the, J. B. Gil !
4 flllan candidacy for the senate just be-
fore the state convent The upshot
was that each one gave way. and Clapp
4 accomplished his purpose of getting a
personal representative on the commit
tee.
j In order to accommodate Hennepin
needs and find room for other men want
ed On the committee, the candidates took
arbitrary action and increased the com
ml:tee by six members. at large: In this
way C1app and Dunn were each able to
r1are mai from He1incp pin, and at" the
same time recognize Ray Jones and Judge
llsliiott. So it happened that three of the
five accredited Collins men on the COM
mittee come from Hennepin. Kay Todd
Of Ramsey Is classed as q Collins man,
Because he was on the guar delegation
/, from that county, but he was Judge Jag
CARDS representative on that delegation,
just as he is on the committee. His appoint
Iment IS a recognition Of the young attor-
|neys, whose work gave Jaggard the nomi-
nation. The other Collins mar is Senator
Lord Of Dodge.
! The committee presents new names al
! most from top to bottom, but some old
cnes, like Eli Warner and Marcus John

Practically every committeeman outside

side, but two years ago the Van SAINT
