Both state central committees meet this
week. A call has been. issued for meet
ing Of the republican state committee
Thursday, Sept 5, at the Windsor hotel.
No special business is set for the meet
ing, but it is likely that the executive

time, as Candidate Dunn insists that it
be appointed. The members of the COM
rnittee are expected to come loaded with
spective districts. e.. = 49,. .... -
The democratic committee meets
Wednesday at II am. at the Merchants,
and will have to complete it's organiza-
ton, with the exception of the chairman
ship. 1t will also have to fill the vacancy
on the. ticket caused by the refusal of
John Lind to accept the nomination: This
matter, may be postponed in the hope that
Lind will reconsider, but there, is little
hope of that after his decisive telegram to
Rosing, which puts his refusal on per
sonal and business reasons" and is there
fore considered final. - :<... +
Failing in their effort to dissuade John
A. Johnson from accepting the nomina-
ton for governor, some Of the, Dunn
newspapers are giving Frank A. Day some
fatherly advice. The Duluth News-Tr
bune says: 1<f'> 2, = Z:
The friends of Frank A. Day should do their
utmost to prevent that popular editor from ae-
committee. 1t is a thankless job, this being a
chairman in campaign times, and every mistake
Or misinterpreting OF orders is laid at the door
of the chairman-the ,''boss' he is affection
ately called BY indictments in his own party and
all of the "other fellows *

Congressman McCleary has started gu
to reach the voters of the second distric
by personal tour and series of plat
7 form talks on his tariff position. H. j
Miller has been going the rounds at
lively rate also, and he is reaching tn
voters with his tariff reduction argument
thru a newspaper supplement which i
being generously distributed in the dis
trfct.
The Miller supplement IS a single sheet
containing short biography, a copy Q
his announcement and his open letter
Congressman McCleary, an article by
Rock county friend on Miller's work TO
reduced railroad rates in southern Min
nesota, and his bill raising the gross earn
1ngs tax on express companies On tn
opposite page are tariff articles, the chic
being one favoring the removal of the S
lumber tariff. The remainder consists {
some deadly parallels. One, entitle
Stand Pat or Stand Right gives tn
McCleary anu Miller views in parallt
columns. Another parallels their view
on the lumber tariff. The McCleary speec
of Jan. IL Is set alongside an extract fror
President Mckinleys Buffalo speech in
: dorsing the reciprocity idea. The fins
shot Is reply to the charge that Miller
ideas are democratic. In parallel column
the McCleary views are set alongsi6
those expressed by Roosevelt in his Mir
: neapolis speech, when he declared ths
our economic policy must be frequent
changed to suit changed conditions. Frol
: this It is reasoned that McCleary is OK
posed to the. Roosevelt idea"
While the general impression seems
Y be that McCleary has too strong hold G
the organization and on the farmers
:, / the district to be dislodged the MILL
e campaign has stirred UP considerable e,
g element and the friends of the Luverr
: man are making strong claims. Manka
: Is a hotbed of Miller sentiment, and OF
anti McCleary. man is on record with
r prediction that the congressman will lo
