TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
HEARST MEN CAN'T UNDERSTAND
HOW THEY LOST AT DULUTH;
WINSTON TO QUIT POLITICS
OTHER CONVENTION AFTER
MATH, f&.,

There is a lot of gossip going the
rounds among the Hennepin county
democrats over the result Of the state
convention at Duluth. In the first
place., F. G.. Winston is more than
dissatisfied that his name wasn't pre-
elegate-at-large. Winston was on
the slate, but he was chucked aside
to make room for John Lind, and con-
sequently is sore at Lind, and at the
faction for which he fought and po-
litically died. -
"I'm out Of politics." he told a
number of leading democrats in the
Grill restaurant at Duluth after the
convention, land I'll never again put
scent piece into it,"
The Hearst people are trying to fig
ure out how, after they elected the
convention chairman by q safe ma
jority, they We're ultimately defeated.
Bowler was a good man to run for
chairman because Of being widely
known, he was very weak as a presid-
ing officer. They further assert an
adjournment should not have been
taken after electing their chairman,
should not have been allowed to speak
before the voting on delegates at-
large.
Jones Of Rock. who made Lind
speech, is branded as a traitor by the
Hearst men, who assert he was for
Hearst up to the convention time and
then turned over only because he
wanted to go to st. Louis as dis
trict delegate, and couldn't get elected
any other way.
r. T. O'Connor Of st. Paul the boss
Of Ramsey county democracy, is also
credited with clever work. He never
spoke a word on the floor, but pulled
the anti-Iearst wires.

Washington, June 24.-The nominal
ton of Charles w. Fairbanks for vice
president and his prospective retire.
ment from the senate will, it is said
here, precipitate a hard fight for the
seat he is expected to vacate.
Senator Fairbanks will probably
not send his resignation to Governor
Durbin until after his election is as
sured, but the prospective candidates
realize that the legislature to be
chosen this fall will elect the successor
and the fight will be for control Of
the legislature. 1t will begin imme-
diately. AS Senator Fairbanks will
not retire from the senate before
March 4, when his new duties will
begin, Governor Durbin will not APP
point anyone and the legislature will
fill the vacancy.
If Senator Fairbanks is not elected
he will not resign from the senate,
where he will continue to serve,
but the fight will be just as keen as
if the vacancy really existed.
Governor Durbin himself is to- be
a candidate. Senator Fairbanks MAN
ager, Representative Hemenway,t is
known to be waiting to announce him
self, while Representative Crumpack-
err, Charles B. Lands and James 3.
Watson are almost certain to be can
didateS.

you at once photographed President

part of July.
In thanking the committee for the
he would be glad to have the benefit
of their advice and counsel, he intend
ed to be chairman in fact and would
accept no dictation from anyone, high
or low. He told them that the friends
of the late chairman, Mr. Hanna, were

that had been given to the last chair

The selection of Cortelyou was cut

announcement that the candidate had

SCOTT COUNTY
STILL IN DOUBT
Unexpected Collins Sentiment
Develops and Carries
shakopee.

The feature of the caucuses yester-
day was the stiff fight put up in Scott
county by friends Of Judge Collins.
At the st. Paul headquarters there
was no thought of contest in that
county, which was conceded to Dunn.
It was not supposed that the Dunn
slate would have any opposition.
However, there was latent sentiment
that resulted in a lively contest. The
result in the county Is actually in
doubt. The Collins men can hardly
believe there is a show for carrying
the county but a message was re-
ceived this morning from ]. r. Bu-
chanan of Shakopee, saying that seven
out of the ten delegates from that place
were for Collins, and that the result
outside was much In doubt. The morn
ing paper reports from Shakopee gave
Dunn seven and Collins three, but Mr..
Buchanan says the figures should be
reversed.
The Dunn men claim only forty two
out Of sixty-eight delegates. This is
about the claim they made in Benton
county, which the Collins men know
there are suspicious Of Scott. 1t is
thought that the delegation may at
least be divided.
Startling as the news of a demo-
cratic victory in Texas, or the capture
of Holland by the Dutch, came the re-
port or the Mile Laos county pr1-
maries, showing the county carried
solidly for r. c. Dunn of Princeton.
There was no opposition ticket put up
anywhere in the county and the con-
vention will be unanimous No one
ever expected anything else from Mr..
Dunn's home county.
The Dunn program is to put sure
Dunn counties early in the caucus list,
and the third county caucusing yes
terday, Itasca, has also been conceded
from the start. It is for "Dunn and
Gunn,'' and the slate went thru, altho
there was a surprisingly large number
of Collins mers out at the primaries.
Caucuses are held this afternoon or
evening in Becker, Beltrami, Mower,
Otter Tail, Roseau and Waseca coun-
ties. The outlook favors Collins in
Becker, Mower and Otter Tail, and is
in doubt in Beltrami. There will be
two sets of caucuses in Roseau, but
| those called by the regular county
committee will be carried for Eddy.
Waseca county is in doubt, but the
outlook there is said to favor Dunn.
A majority Of the counties will eau
Gus tomorrow, and the rest Monday.
All the county conventions are to be
held next Tuesday.

FEW CROOKS AT EXPO
Police Superintendent COnroy Says
They Don't Find Many Victims.

Crooks and grafters are disap-
pointed with the st. Louis fair and
many Of them have left the city, UNI
able to make a living, according to
Police Superintendent Conroy, who re-
turned from the fair this morning.
The fair grounds are nearly two
miles square and the average attend
ance is about thirty Thousand persons
a day. When these are scattered over
so much territory there IS little chance
for the thieves to get in their work.
Besides large force Of detectives is
constantly on the grounds. and few
thefts have been reported that We're
not followed by arrests.

Mr.. Morton is personal friend of
the president of many years standing.
He is the son of the late J. Sterling
Morton Of Nebraska, secretary Of agri-
culture in President CleYelands last
administration. Mr.. Morton has had
experience in Washington, having been
there with his father.
Since President Roosevelt has been
in the White House he has made more
than one effort to induce Mr.. Morton
to accept a position in his administra-
ton. Feeling that his lifework in the
railroad business in which he has
achieved success might be impeded by
his acceptance Of an official position
in the government, he uniformly has
declined all such proffers. In conse-
quence with this feeling he declined
the proffer in the portfolio of the
navy. He was requested by the presi-
dent to reconsider his declination.
Last night he took dinner at the
White House, and the whole subject
was considered, after Mr.. Morton had
consulted with his personal and BUSH
ness friends and associates. At the
conclusion of the conference Mr.. Nor
ton told the president he would &C
cept the position in the cabinet.

Itasca for Dunn.

Grand Rapids, Mimi, June 24.-In-
complete returns give Itasca county
to Dunn by an overwhelming majority.
There was large attendance at the
primaries, and many Collins men
4urned out. The Dunn supporters
feared a still hunt, and rounded up all
the voters they could find to hold the
opposition safe. Grand Rapids is for
Dunn. Dan Gum, candidate for rail-
road commissioner and the Dunn lead
err, will be in the county convention.
Itasca county is naturally for Dunn,
and the outlying precincts are ex-
pecting to send delegates favorable to
him. .

SUPREME COURT
] FOR {.
THE INEBRIATES
HAVE RIGHTS IF NOT TOO FAR
GONE.
Supreme Court Holds That the Mod
erately Intoxicated Have Redress
in Case They Meet with Injury Thru
Negligence of Others.

n i 49, ~
- A man can be drunk ana yet not
too drunk to be entitled to the protec-
ton the law affords in case he meets
with an accident for which the negli-
gence of another party is in part re-
|sponsible.
Such, at least, is the opinion Of the
supreme court as handed down to-
day in the case of John Clarke against
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and
Iron company The almost inflnites-
imal line which divides enough and
too much is left to be drawn by the
trial court, and since the trial court
Eheld that Clarke had not had too
much when he fell down one Of the
defendants coal shutes and broke his
collarbone, it's ruling is sustained.
The syllabus reads:
While it is permissible to allow an OBJ
server Of ordinary intelligence to give
his opinion whether person is intoxi-
Gated at a material time where his judg-
ment is derived from facts and circunl-
stances which enable him to form an
opinion Of that fact, yet it is within the
reasonable discretion Of the, trial court
to determine whether the proper founda-
ton therefor has been laid, and held that
the refusal Of the court to permit inquir-
les of that nature in this case was not
error.
A person under the influence of liquor
but not so intoxicated as to interfere
with the exercise of ordinary care on
his part in walking upon the public side
walk, is not deprived Of the right to pro-
lection from the negligence Of another who
| fails to properly guard an opening therein
| into which the pedestrian fell and received
injuries.
The award of jury of $2,50000 for
an injury to a man So years of age where
by his left collarbone was broken with
other injuries to his arm and hand
which were permanent, held not to be so
excessive as to indicate passion or preju-
dice as under the facts in this case

| firned. Lovely, ].
