There is a probability that Ramsey
county VIII be represented at the Re
publican national convention by two Of
It's citizens in addition to Senator
Clapp, who will likely be delegate-at-
large from his state. e. G. Rogers and
B. Kellogg have been suggested as
dlstrlct delegates, but it has been gem
orally understood that the district out
SIDE 81. Paul wanted one of the places.
NOW IL IS stated that the country has
buried It's ambition in order to pro-
mote harmony in the city and that both
rogers and Kellogg will be district
delegates to Chicago. Mr.. Kellogg is
slble successor to T. FL. Shevlin as ma
tlonal committeeman for Minnesota
Frank p. Wilson, of Red Wing, is
nursing boom for the Republican
nomination for attorney general. and
1t will surprise no one if an announce
ment of his candidacy is shortly forth
coming. Wilson represented his home
county III the Legislature some years
ago, and IS a lawyer of ability. He
was candidate for congress in the
Third district two. years ago, but C. r,
Davis, of St Peter, captured the nom
nation and later the office. Wilson
made strong bid for the place in
Goodhue county, where he is best
known, but he was behind the money
IN the race throughout the district at
large. 1t is said some Of the state poll
tlc1ans who do not think w. J. Dona-
mower is toting just square in the
gubernatorial running are urging Will
son to cut in and promising him sup
port.
A report comes from the Sixth dis.
trict that j., D. Jones, register of the
Cass Lake land Office, will shortly re-
sign because of ill-health. Mr.. Jones
is confined to his room by his illness
portion of the time, and as he is a
man of means, he is credited with an
intention of giving UP the berth. There
will be no lack OF aspirants for the
job, worth $4,000 per year, and Con-
gresham Buchanan will have his hands
full satisfying more than one aspirant
of the L1any. There is a prospect, ac-
scording To the wise ones, that the place
will go eithersto asMeeker county or q
Crow Wing county man. Oakley. the
receiver, comes from Wright, and the
officers Of the st. Cloud land office are
from Stearns county.

Former State Senator IL w. Lloyd,
of LIE zSueur county, who is in st. Paul
on private business, says that politics
is very quiet in his section Of the state,
and possibly half the population APP
eparently does not know that the biggest
fight for nomination in the history of
the Republican party of the state Is
on. Concerning reports that have been
put in circulation that there is trouble
in the Third district for Congressman
Davis, Senator Lloyd says that Davis
fences are in excellent shape and need
no repairing; he does not believe that
the congressman will have opposition
for denomination.
Representative w. /. Nolan, of Hen
nepin, was ST. Paul visitor yesterday,
and to his political friends said that
his part of Minneapolis, the Seventh,
Eleventh and Twelfth wards has very
strong leanings, towards Dunn.
A report in circulation yesterday said
that the Collins campaign managers
had issued circular denying any re-
sponsibility for the removal from the
public examiners office of P. A. Gun
ders. This story is officially denied,
though privately the Collins manage
ment disclaimss any connection with
Gunders' dismissal charging the atti-
tude of the examiner to lofty sense
of public duty. But there be skeptics.
The Ramsey County Republican club,
of st. Paul, doesn't propose to sit in
the wings while the play goes on. 1t
wants a perch on the spotlight, with
the house dark and the orchestra play
ing SO softly that all the senses are
conferred on the top line of the bill.
During the days when Col. Wright was
being resurrected as a political posi-
bility, the Ramsey club members had
little part in the process, but it has
broken into the programme with new
proposition. The executive committee
of the club has issued invitations to
the executive committees of the other
st. Paul Republican clubs to meet with
its members at parlor B, Windsor hotel
tonight, when 1t proposes to arrange
for a big smoker to be given before
the primaries. The idea is to have all
the Republican candidates for assem-
bly, present and to hear from them,
and it is probable that the candidates
for the mayoralty will be out as well:
