New York for Roosevelt.

Charles H. Duell. former commissioner Of
patents, now a practicing attorney in New
York, spent some time with the President.
Mr.. Duell has been asked by Cornelius n.
Bliss, treasurer Of the republican national
committee. to accept the position Of assist
ant treasurer, and he has agreed to do so.
Mr. Duell conferred with the President on
political matters. Il was never more con-
fdent of anything in my life said Mr..
Duell to a Star representative, than that
President Roosevelt will be elected to sue
coed himself. l have done some figuring on
the results. and my prediction is that the
electoral vote will stand 81 20 1853 in favor
OF the republicans. and that is with all due
apology to Gen. Grosvenor.'
Mr.. Duell has something of a reputation
d prognosticator. He came within a
few votes of naming the number of cleo
toral votes President Mckinley received in
1856 and again in 1900. When in the pat
ent office Mr.. Duell and Mr.. Bliss who was
then Secretary of the Interior were warm
friends, and the desire of Mr. Hiss to have

lated the President and assured him that he
was certain to be elected. Mr.. Oxnard' 8
friends expect him to be the next United
States senator from California, succeeding
Senator Bard. Mr.. Oxnard is now on his
way to Los Angeles. He admitted that he
has some ambitions for the Senate.

pose and pleasure to become better ac-
Quainted with the people SO that they may
know something about me and decide
whether they think l am competent to rep
resent them.
California is safely republican. and will
give the President a good majority in No
vember. I wish 1 was sure Of heaven as
the President is of being elected to succeed
himself He has made one Of the best
chief executives the country ever had. and
his experience. good judgment and firm
ness will make him all the more acceptable
as the years go by. The people are salts

Gen John G. Black, president OF the civil

the President today. General Black mas
improved greatly in health In the last 1e"
months and has been congratulated by the
President on his healthy appearance. Ihere
has been frequent mention recently or the
name of General Black in connection Win
the democratic vice presidential nominal
ton, but General Black declares that ne
has no thought of anything OF this KIND.
General Black has been especially boomeu
in case the convention should nominate
former President Cleveland, who Is loom
ing up with greater possibility than ever
before. General Black is from Illinois. and
was commissioner of pensions under Presi-
dent Cleveland. They have long been
close friends General Blacks personal
relations with President Roosevelt have
also been exceedingly cordial, and General
Black Is consulted on all important civil
service matters by the President.
The West Virginia Situation.
Representative Dayton of West Virginia
called on the President for few minutes
and chatted with him. Mr.. Dayton has
been earnestly supporting Teter against
Dawson in the red-hot gubernatorial fight
in progress in the republican party in West
Virginia. Mr.. Dayton relterates a predic-
ton made some time ago that Teter viii
be nominated and claimed today that this
prediction was as certain of fultllment
now as it was then. The Dawson people,
on the other hand. declare that they cas-
lily have a majority of the convention and
will have no trouble in winning the nOmi-
nation. 1t is admitted, despite the claims
of both sides, that the fight is a close one,
and that when the convention meets July

THRUOUT STATE

of the Caucuses Held Yes
terday.
Contesting Delegations Selected
Today in Five of the County
Conventions.

Republican county conventions were
held in every one Of the eighty-three
Minnesota counties today to select
delegates to the state convention
which meets Thursday In St. Paul to
name a state ticket.
Most of the conventions were held
this afternoon, and reports are late In
coming in. However, several conven-
tons assembled In the morning. The
county conventions Will practically
settle the contest for governor, tho 1t
is possible there may be enough dele
gates unlnstructed or for Frank M.
Eddy to create a diversion.
Primaries in about twenty counties
were held yesterday afternoon and
evening. Collins got the best OF 1t
in q majority of the counties, tnclud-
ing the great counties of Hennepin
and Ramsey, with their $50 delegates.
The Dunn bolt in Ramsey, If carried
out in the form Of a contest, will prove
a Handicap to the Collins forces, as 1t
will prevent the siKty-seven Collins
delegates In Ramsey from voting on
the temporary organization. There
are also contests In Roseau between
Eddy and Dunn delegations and IN
Cass and Benton between Collins and
Dunn delegates.
Senator r. B. Brewer Of st. Cloud
who will come down with the Stearns
county delegation, has been selected to
make the speech nominating Judge
Collins In the state convention.
According to reports received from
practically every county In the state
the strength OF the three candidates
for governor now stands as follows

The big gas bag had not yet been

Being of an adhesive material, the

nailed near the top of the crate, and
in this way was prevented from be-

CASTEK'S TAKING
OFF 4 MYSTERY
Correspondent in His Divorce
Case Suspected of Having
Murdered Him.
Special to The Journal.

Iowa City, Iowa, June 2S.-Is Frank
Castek suicide or a victim of a cold
blooded murder?
That is the problem that the officers
of Johnson county are striving to solve
today, and Sheriff Evan Rowland con-
fesses himself puzzled completely.
Castek, a well-to-do farmer, was
yesterday found in a. dying condition
at his home in Monroe township,
twenty miles from Iowa City.
A bullet hole in his head indicated
the method Of his death, and a shot,
gun near by proved the character OF
the weapon used. .>.
Suicide was suspected for a time,
but now the officers are holding
Joseph Stefanek, who will be COM
PEELED to prove an alibi to separate
himself from the shadow Of doubt
that is hanging over him.
Stefanekis the correspondent named
by Castek in his suit for a divorce
from his wife-who, with their two
boys, has been living apart from he1
| husband for some time
Stefanek, moreover, was to be tried
the very day Of the killing for an al
legged assault, with intent to murder
Castek. The husband alleged that
back in February, Stefanek tried te
choke him and pounded him over the
head with stick of wood. This at.
tack was connected with the wife:
friendship for Stefanek.
Mrs. Castek charged her husband
with being cruel and inhuman to her
and she, too, asked for a divorce. The
court, leaving the matter unde
termined for a time, granted her thu
custody of both boys, and ordered
Castek to pay $500 into court, as tenn
porary alimony, and to cover her at
torney's fees. The money was tt
have been paid Monday. Castek i
well-to-do, and the $500 would hav'
been a mere bagetelle to him. Sui
eide over few hundred dollars i
unthinkable in his case.
| On the other hand, Stefanek scorr
the accusation that he has anything
to do with Castek's violent end, an
there is no clear evidence that make
hm appear guilty-so far as tn
tragedy Of Monday is concerned.

confirmed report has been received
from the Island of Hokkaido that
ships resembling the Russian Vladivo-

supported by two regiments of caval-
ry and sixteen guns, occupied Fen

COLLINS MAN FIRST
Bolt Caused by Dunn Mans Failure to
Secure Recognition.

The Ramsey county convention TO
choose delegates to the state conven-
ton was called to order in the usual
way at 10 o'clock in the Federation
hall by the chairman of the county
committee, F. G. Warner, state oil
inspector, who presided until after the
bolt, the Dunn delegates refusing to
permit a ballot to be taken for tenn
porary chairman. Notwithstanding
the resistance, however, two candi-
dates were finally placed before the
convention, H. w. Childs representing
Dunn, and Oscar Hallam represent
ing Collins.
At this stage Of the proceedings the
convention was in an uproar. Scores
of men were trying to preserve order
and make themselves heard, while
hundreds of others were rendering
this impossible.
Finally when it was seen that the
Dunn men would not permit the roll
to be called on the election of temper
ary chairman, and that a bolt was i'm
inent, H. W. Childs came to the plat
form and begged for quiet. He then
made an impassioned speech, plead
ing for orderly proceedings and for
harmony. Many Of the Dunn dele
gates had left their seats by this time,
but he begged them not to go from the
hall. His appeal was in vain, and in
a few minutes the Dunn forces were
| in Raudenbush hall, holding a con-
vention Of their own Mr.. Childs fol-
lowed them later on, but with evident
reluctance, and presided over the bolt
ers, Mr. Hallam remaining as presid-
ing officer Of the regulars.
| W. H. Lightner made an address to
the convention just before the bolt,
following Mr.. Childs. and he said that
| he Endorsed all that Childs had said

regularly. There has been no act OF
unfairness since we came into this
