OhCi 5CIAC III the support OF the party s
nominees In the past. and he is in exact
accord with Lind, O'Brien and Rosing as
10 the present party situation. Mr.. Weiss
paper has an immense circulation at the
mead OF the lakes and surrounding re-
glon, ana Will exercise a powerful influ-
ence In shaping sentiment in that Sec
As matter of good party policy the
selection of Mr.. Weiss is the best that
could possibly be made:
I. The managers of the local Repub-
1can campaign, in desperation, have
called on Senator Clapp and Congress-
man Stevens to come home and help
them out. 1t is not considered at all
probable that there will be an aff1rma-
tive response. Both Clapp and Stevens
are too wise politicians to tie them
selves to losing proposition, and they
VIII stay away until the fight is over.
The Republican city committee has
arranged for a ratification meeting to
be held on Friday evening of next week
at Mozart hall.
A. r. Pau, former mayor Of Man
kato and for some years a member Of
the Democratic state central commit
tee, is at the Merchants hotel while at
tending to some legal matters in the
Ramsey county courts. while 1 have
not been very active in Minnesota pol
tiles for some years." said Mr.. Pau, II
should say from my observation that
the Democrats of the Second congress
slonal district would prefer Judge Par
ker for president to any other man
thus far mentioned for the place. Our
people are inclined to the belief that
he would make most formidable can
didate for the presidency, and that is
what we want, Of course"
Representative w A Hinton, of Mar
tin county, was at the Windsor hotel
yesterday en- route to Towner, N. D.,
where he has interests. Hinton is
candidate for reelection to the house
and thus far has no opposition. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Hinton the Second con-
gressional district is not asking for
place on the Republican state ticket,
though friends Of l.. P. Hunt, of Man
kato, are booming him for railroad and
warehouse commissioner.
Albert Berg, in the last issue of the
Warroad Plaindealer, announces his
candidacy for the Republican nominal
ton for representative Of the Sixty
third district. 0. B. Ekman represented
the district at the last session and is
candidate to succeed himself He, too,
IS resident of Roseau county.
States land office at Cass Lake, has re-
turned from months stay at Knox
Vile, Tenn, where he went for his
health, which had been SO poor that
there were rumors of his intended res
ignauon. Jones returns practically re-
stored to health and says that any in
tention to resign has been abandoned.
Sentiment in the part of the South
where l was" he said, was apparently
overwhelmingly in favor of Judge
Parker, and I look to see Tennessee
send solid Parker delegation to the
st. Louis convention. There are a few
radical Hearst men in Knoxville, but
they seem to be hopelessly in the mi
nority."
The scheme to nominate the supreme
court justices at the Republican state
convention before the gubernatorial
question is disposed of is scarcely TAX
en- seriously by the politicians, though
1t is probable that the present justices
will favor the plan provided Judge
Jaggard does not come to the cOnven-
ton with so strong a following that he
endangerS the success of some one of
the candidates.
AS pointed out in this column, the
candidates for the minor places on the
ticket are obtaining little or no salts
faction in their canvass for strength
gubernatorial fight overshadowing all
else They are naturally fearful of
combinations being made for the head
of the ticket, which will leave them
nothing to trade to votes, and any plan
which would remove their fight from
that for governor would be welcome.
Judge Jaggard would doubtless be
very glad to see the judges nominated
ahead of the governor, for this would
give him preference over w. j. Don
ahOWer, who is a candidate for attor-
ney general, and as both are Ramsey
county men their interests in a meas
ure conflict. 1t is safe to assume that
Donahower and his friends will fight
to preserve the old order of things
where the attorney general is nomi-
mated in advance of the justices. With
the gubernatOrial candidates and every
other candidate for a place on the state
ticket coming ahead of the supreme
court justices in the convention it is
near a good bet that there will be no
in the order in which can
didates will be nominated at the state
convention.
w. L. Ames, representing the Re
publican city committee, yesterday
posted SIS with City Clerk Redington
that A. r. Kiefer's name may be en-
rolled on the city ticket as a Repub-
lican candidate for city comptroller.
At a meeting held at $50 Western
avenue, last night, Christian Britt
schneider was made ward chairman
and J. J, McHugh secretary, in the in
terest of r. H. Nemitz's independent
candidacy for alderman in the Eighth
ward.
