The Fourth district convention bids
fair not to be the cut-and- dried party
gathering that will be held in most Of
the other districts Of the state, for
there are rival candidates for the hon
ors. 1t is pretty generally conceded
that st. Paul will not ask for more
than one Of the two delegates, and win
yield to the country delegates the right
TO name the second. There are al
ready two candidates in the field from
st. Paul. e. G. Rogers is an avowed
candidate for the place and r. B. KEEL
logg has received favorable mention
from his political friends. you can
say that am an avowed candidate for
the place." said Rogers yesterday. Il
have no unkind word to say Of Mr..
Kellogg and have no objection to his
seIectlon as a delegate-at-large from
minnesota. | have committed myself,
however, to the proposition that want
TO vote in the Chicago convention for
theodore Roosevelt, and / expect my
friends to assist me in realizing the
ambition" Rogers is veteran in the
local Republican political organization,

gaining strength every day. was not
IN favor OF any such early campaign
as has been inaugurated, but 1 was
forced into it and / intend to stay with
the enemy to the finish. BY the way"
continued Mr.. Dunn, THE Collins pa
pers are making a great howdy-d do
over the proposition that if l am nom
mated John Lind will be the Demo-
cratic nominee. There Is no man in
the state whom would rather not
nave as candidate against me than
John Lind. Nevertheless, if fate so
wills it that Mr.. Lind shall be my OPP
ponent, l shall meet him fearlessIy and
honestly In q clean campaign. And if
by any peradyenture Lind should be
elected as governor, Minnesota will
survive 1t. He was governor for two
years and made a good governor. His
election would be no public calamity.
He has no terrOrs for me either as a
governor or as a private citizen. The
state would survive another term with
John Linr as governor"
Bemidji, in spite of the reform wave
under which it is laboring, is a candi-
