Republican party must suffer at the
polls for what was done. ~ -

For the first time in the history of
the city the Democrats have reason tc
believe that they will elect the alder
man of the First ward, which has al
ways been represented by Republic
an. Upon very few occasions have
the Democrats thought it worth while
to place a candidate in nomination.
But this year the situation is differ
ent and many Republicans of the ward
are openly predicting that Charles ID.
Nyberg, the Democratic candidate, will
be the alderman for the next two
years, believing that he will be able
to overcome the normal Republican
majority Of 900. To some extent this
is due to the peculiar conditions that
exist and bring to the front once more
the old fight in the ward against AL
bert Dahlstrom. 1t is claimed by the
church people that John O. Linden,
the Republican candidate, was a Dahl
strom partisan of the most pronounced
type. Mr.. Nyberg, the Democratic
candidate is a popular and Well-in-
formed young man, who would make
a good run under any conditions, but
who will certainly, under the circum-
stances, make the Republican hustle IT
they elect Linden.
Through mistake the name OF
James J. Regain, Democratic candi-
date for the assembly, has not appear
ed in some of the publications OF the
primary returns. But Mr.. Regain is
very much a candidate, this being
demonstrated by the fact that, al
though this was his first appearance
in politics, he was sixth on the list OF
the Democrats nominated. He is en-
ployed by the st. Paul National bank.
A number of the Republican candf-
dates are on the anxious seat as re-
lates to the appointment OF a cam
paign committee. Fenton Warner has
them lust where he can hand them a
bunch if they are not really good to
him. And Warner wants good many
things. He wants to name the secre-
tary of the committee, demands that
personal friend become assistant secre-
tary. and has several men whom he
thinks would make just the fellows TO
handle the campaign money. Above
all. he will not have Norman for Sec
rotary again Norman's friends have
step aside in favor of Warmers candi-
date or suffer an igneminieus defeat.
Of course Norman is mad, but he Will
likely step aside and show the Warner
people a few things on election day.
1t has been the custom to give the sec
rotary of the campaign committee two
terms unless he retires voluntarily,
but in this case Norman has been COM
manded to retire without contest.

through his assumed right to appoint
the members of the campaign commit
tee, although he is supposed to do so
at the suggestion Of the Republican
candidates. There is some talk OF the
candidates getting together on their
account and naming the commit
tee without the knowledge or sanction
of Warner.
The Collins men made extravagant
claims of strength in the Minneapolis
convention. Their agreement with the
Dunn and Eddy men weeks ago should
have precluded anything like an effort
to influence the convention, but dele

the lobby of the Nicollet hotel, which
was headquarters for the convention,
lust before they left for the convention
hall. The Ramsey county enthusiasts
posted themselves on the stairway IN

the crowd was unresponsive. many

there were a good many Collins men in
the convention, the Dunn managers
