The Fergus Falls Journal does not agree
with the sentiment against sending the
senators to the national convention. II
says:
1.-THE Journal is in favor of sending 2
quartet OF Well known republicans to the
| republican national convention to repre-
sent Minnesota. When you are up in the
gallery looking down on the delegates
some one from California or New York will
surely ask you, who is here from Mime
sofa" It is very embarrassing to have
to answer, There is nobody here T,et
Senator Moses E. Clapp, Governor S. R.
Van SAINT and Thomas Lowry and we will
have delegation known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. This will give each twin
representative and the northern and
southern portions of the state will be
represented: The districts can help out by
gates. Most people go to a national CON
vention to see the big men of the party.
The New York Mills Journal another
Otter Tail county paper, takes the oppo-
site view, and says: -.
In our opinion the United States sena-
tors and congressman should not be
elected as delegates to the national con-
Vent1on. There are plenty of good men
who would serve as,-well and we agree
with number of our exchanges to their
suggestion that Governor Van SAINT should
be elected as one Of. the delegates at
large
The Pipestone Review sees in the Eustis
movement in Hennepin county a scheme
Of certain leaders to deliver the county
to Dunn, by tying up the5 Collins men
until Dunn has perfected his campaign
zheres: The Review says:
The situation has developed more rap
idly In southern Minnesota and nine
tenths of the personal friends Of Mr..
Eustis, realizing the inexpediency of his
candidacy, have, during the last ten days.
joined the Collins forces. The friends Of
Judge Collins in Iennepin county who by
reason of local pride have good cause to
express friendliness for Mr.. Eustis, Will
probably look the situation over thoroly
during the coming week and follow the
example set by sthe Eustis followers in
southern Minnesota
q Many Of the local supporters Of Mr..
Eustis have agreed to stand unlitched
until their favori:e returns from his win
ter vacation. They protest that they will
never be drawn into the Dunn column, but
they are not ready to go to Collins until
they know Eustis is not a candidate
The bar Of the first judicial district seem
to have succeeded In removing the judi
ciary from politics. Judge w. c.. Williston
of Red Wing. who comes up for re-elec-
ton this year, has been Endorsed by the
bar of Goodhue and Washington counties,
and has agreed to be candidate. The in
dorsement of Washington county was con-
veyed to Judge Williston by. j. N. Searles
Of Saltwater, who was candidate against
Judge Crosby last year, and the action
taken seems to assure unanimous action
in the district.
Julius Schmafl makes editorial denial
in his Redwood Gazette Of any combina-
ton between himself and "A. Nolan Of
Grand Meadow to control the organization
Of the next house. Nolan Is a candidate
for speaker, and Schmahl is willing to
serve again as chief clerk. Frank Clague's
ambition to be speaker naturally conflicts /
with Schmahl, and inclines him to sup
port some other aspirant for speaker, but |
Schmahl says it is entirely too early to
De making any states. 1t would certainly
seem that such an operation should be
delayed until the next house is nominated, I
anyway.
The Ada Herald, populist, picks up the
Globes cue, and inquiries:
why are the 'anti-mergerites' so anx-
GUS to have their crowd elected to carry
N the state administration? Are they
the way for another $4,000 !
doodle for one or two of their. friends?'
Doodle" is rather a harsh name for
Moderate attorneys fees paid out to de-
end the state against the overriding Of its
avs by a monopolistic combination.
The Lake City Graphic-Senttne1 voices
prevalent opinion in the following:
There seems to be belief among the
collins and Dunn supporters that the pa
'ers OF. the state are about evenly divided
etWeen the two men, with number of
publications. yet to hear from. The power
+ the press will not be felt in the cam
align this year more than in the past few
ears unless the editors pay more atten-
ion to facts and accept less editorial
natter from campaign headquarters. The
eople are inclined to believe what they
cad in the papers-until they lose conf !
ence in the editor"
The Spring Valley Sun observes:
''Tams Bixby has joined with Tom Shev-
n, Joe Cotton, M. D. Grover and J. p
in support Of r. c.. Dunn for
overnor.''

James A. Martin has opened an office in
ne Manhattan building. st. Paul, sharing {
with Representative Walter T. Lemon,
nd he will use it as his headquarters in
onduct1nS the Collins campaign.
