NO CONVERTS MADE
Dunn Meeting at Albert Lea Fruitless

Albert Lea, Mimi, Oct. PAS far
as surface indications go to show the
visit Of Mr.. Dunn to this city. did not
convert anybody. The fact is many
republicans are far from being ready
to vote for either Dunn or Jones. It
is extremely doubtful if many changes
will be made before election, altho a
few may be made to think that their
party demands their blind allegiance
regardless of the candidates.
Of course Judge Lovely is ,particu-
larly strong here, as this is his home,
but some threats have been made by
the Dunn men that they will vote
against him if the fight upon Dunn is
not stopped. It is safe to say that
those who even contemplate voting
against Mr.. Lovely never favored him
very strongly and would probably have
voted against him had he been re-nom-
mated by the republicans. He will have
a large majority in the county.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct 22.-Democrats
assert that La Crosse county, altho
strongly republican, will be carried for
eeck Tor governor as a result Of the
fractional fight in the republican party.
Some OF the most prominent republicans
IN the city are openly announcing them.

the democratic ticket in order to de-

The bitter feeling appears to be grow
ing and many stalwarts declare they

and county tickets. Little interest is
taken by the stalwarts in the republican

old-time republicans are attending
democratic meetings.
+" Organization in Ruins.
The strong organization that the re.
publican party had in this county four
and two years ago is ruined, and the
LaF'ollette managers themselves are
AFRAID OF the final outcome. It is con
| ceded that their chances Of electing the
two members of the assembly are very
slim, while the democratic candidates
are making hard campaign. j. j..
Durland the candidate for the assembly
| IN the first district, is stalwart, while
As:ssemblyman johnson of the second
| district is a LaFollette man. The fac
t1onal feeling that exists. it is feared,
will defeat them both.
1t is not thought that the democrats
in this county will lend aid to LaFoi-
lettte. Every. democrat, it is thought,
will vote for Peck. This is especially
true among the Germans, many of whom
are Catholics and Lutherans, who still
admire Peck for the stand he took
against the Bennett law.
Esch for Senator.
Congressman John J. Esch of this
city is believed to be the governor, q
choice for the United States senate to
succeed Senator J. V. Quarles, The
choice seems to lie between Esch and
| Congressman Cooper of the first district.
It is thought that if LaFollette con-
trolls the legislature that Congressman
Esch will be elected, and that even if
the majority is republican, composed
partly Of LaFollette men and partly Of
stalwarts, that some of the latter will
give their support to Mr.. Esch r.
It is said that an understanding with
Congressman Esch was reached by the
governor in July, altho Mr.. Esch did
not declare himself in favor of La
Toilette and the state ticket until after
the decision of the supreme court The
LaFollette faction is much gratifed
over the attitude Of Mr.. Esch and the
feeling in favor of electing him to sue
coed Senator Quarles is strong.
