and will give the precinct committee
men-each one of whom is expected to
be present on the night of the meet
Ing of his ward organization-a brief
talk on his duties at the coming cleo
ton.
The Republican city committee has
issued a call for a meeting of the Ninth
ward organization at the city head
quarters, Fifth and Robert, for We'd
nesday evening, and the First and
Seventh will meet on Thursday night.
The committee has subcommittee at
work arranging for a big meeting to be
held the week of April 10. The meet
ing will be held probably in Sherman
or Mozart halls
r. c. Dunn has reached home from
two weeks stay at Hot Springs,
Ark, where he went in the hope of re-
storing his shattered health. He is
very much improved and will now take
up the active work connected with his
campaign for the Republican nominal
ton for governor.
Michael Romstad, county auditor OF
Swift county, was a capitol visitor
yesterday and said that his county was
about equally divided in it's choice of
candidates for governor. Romstad
warmly commended The GIobe for
Its stand for reciprocity with Canada
and said it was far in advance of the
position taken by many of the Repub-
lican organs of the state.
The Duluth Herald, which has been
consistent supporter of William ].
Bryan for the presidency in both his
campaigns, has come out in an edi-
torial favoring the nomination IF
Judge Alton Brooks Parker, of New
York. Editor Weiss is said to be a
candidate for a district delegateship
from the Eighth district and his dec
laration is therefore the more inter-
eSting.
John King, chairman Of the board
OF county commissioners of Cass coun-
ty, is said to be an out-and-out candi-
date for a nomination on the Repub-
lican ticket for railroad and warehouse
commissioner. Hannifin, the Bemidji
candidate, has withdrawn and will
throw his support to King, who lives
in neighboring county. King will
have to dispute with D. M. Gum, of
Grand Rapids, and ]. G. Miller, of Two
Harbors, for the support of Northern
Minnesota in the nominating conven-
ton.
Some CONSERVATION has been caused
In North Dakota political circles by
the re-entrance of former Congress-
man Martin Johnson, of that state,
into state politics. 1t is said that
Johnson will attempt to land the Re-
publican nomination for governor.
Since his defeat for United States
senator by H. c. Hansbrough some
years ago johnson has been living in
comparative seclusion on his farm and
has not been heard from in the polit-
zeal life of the Flickertail state.
The expected happened when the
German-American Veterans associa-
ton Endorsed A R. Kiefer's candidacy
for city comptroller. Louis Betz is
making thorough canvass Of the city
and his record in the Office is such
that he will be triumphantly re-elect-
ed along with the rest of the Demo-
cratic ticket. A business man said
yesterday: Il have had more or less
to do with the Office Of city comptroller
for a number of years, and I can truth
fully say that in all my experience the
office was never so well administered
as since Mr.. Betz was at the head of
its affairs"
Col. F. P. Wright yesterday deposited
SIS with the city clerk that his name
may be officially inscribed on the city
mayor.
Ross Clarke is the latest victim Of
the gag rule now in great working Or
der at the Republican city committee
headquarters. Clarke is said to resent
the action of the committee, which, at
it's meeting last night, decided to limit
assemblyman candidates to three min
utes each on the stump at ordinary
ward meetings. At a general meeting
the chairman will extend the time
slightly to fit the occasion, but three
minutes will be the outside limit at
the little meetings thus far held by
the Republicans in the wards. Clarke
comes under the same rule as the 9TH
er assemblymen candidates, but the
occasion for the arousal Of his ire is
that he has discovered that the OBJ
noxious gag rule was made to fit his
case particularly, and that the other
candidates acQuiesced in the commit

him an opportunity to sit on the plat
