The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-05-14

Realizing that William R. Hearst
cannot be nominated at st. Louis and
probably could not be elected if he
were nominated, L. A. Rosing, of Can
non Falls, who was in the city yester-
day, said he could not see any possible
good to come from an Endorsement Of
Mr. Hearst by the Minnesota Demo-
cratic convention.
With Hearst possessing some and
Judge Parker apparently having pos
tive strength, he advocates an unin-
structed delegation from Minnesota to
the st. Louis national convention, and
the selection of men who can be de-
pended upon to act for the party's
good in naming a candidate and in
framing a platform to which all good
Democrats can subscribe.
Mr. Rosing, who was the nominee of
the Democrats two years ago for gov
ernor, former chairman of the DEM
ocratic state central committee and
former private secretary to Gov John
Lind, reached ST. Paul yesterday from
Duluth, where he had been for a day
or two meeting the Democrats at the
head of the lakes. He was seen at the
Merchants hotel, and consented to talk
little politics.
Eyes, have just come from Duluth"
he said, in reply to an interrogation
''The newspapers have had SO much
to say about the Duluth Hearst club
and the enthusiasm that prevailed for
the New York publisher that l was not
at all prepared for the revelation that
many Duluth Democrats who favor
Hearst put their second choice first in

Finds Little Hearst Sentiment.
''There is little Hearst sentiment in
Minnesota except in few localized
spots. Aside from ST. Louis county. he
seems to be strongest in Hennepin-
and there the ants say he cannot carry
the caucuses-in Morrison county, in
Winona and a few counties in South
western Minnesota. | do not honestly
believe that he stands any show of
carrying the state at large. 1 have
naturally received good many letters
from widely scattered points through
out the state and / should estimate
that about IS per cent of my eorre-
spondents are absolutely opposed to his
candidacy for the presidency. do not
think that Mr.. Hearst's candidacy
measures up to the standard necessary
| for candidate for the presidency on
| the Democratic ticket. I do not care
/ to enter into his personality
| "As to Mr.. Cleveland, I do not think
| that he is an available candidate for
| the presidency. I favor Judge Parker
| as against Hearst, but am for any
| first class man in the party who can
/ stand as a party representative, and
| favor an uninstrueted delegation from
| Minnesota to ST. Louis.
| T cannot believe that there is any
| thing in the newspaper talk that Mr.
Bryan will bolt the convention if his
wishes are not respected as to a cam
| didate and a platform. Mr. Bryan is
| far too good a Democrat to take any
such radical action, and when the con-
vention has declared it's choice I be-
| lieve that Mr.. Bryan will be found CIV
| ing his support to the ticket in every
way possible. Mr.. Bryan is a man OF
/ strong views and he will use every le-
Ultimate means to put these views be-
/ fore the convention, but I will not be-
lteve that all talk of his boiling the
convention is anything but political
gossip, with no foundation in fact.
