The transfer of the office of county
treasurer from p. J. Metzdorf to Jesse

CLAPP MEN SECURE
MORE NAMES TO CALL
Followers of GiIfiIIan Insist
That the Fight Is
Still On

I'VE have 12o signers to the call for
a Republican senatorial caucus for
Tuesday night, and it is my firm be-
lief that no name other than Senator
Clapp's will be presented to the joint
session of the legislature Jan. IL" said
H. A. Rider, in charge of the Clapp
senatorial caucus call, last night
We are standing pat" said J. G.
Lennon. Hennepin county Repub-
liean member, declared moment after
Mr.. Rider had set forth the claims of
the CIapp men. mo more Hennepin
county members have signed the call
for the Clapp caucus and they will not
sign it. If Senator Clapp has votes
enough to control the caucus and to
give him a majority of the members
on joint session, presume he will be
chosen to succeed himself, but we by
no means admit the condition Of af-
fairs as true. We are committed to ].
B. Gilfillan and will stay with him."
The Clapp men went after members
belated in reaching ST. Paul yesterday
and last night said they had 120 sign
erS. 1t was regarded as significant
movement, and one looking to the ex-
tending of the olive branch on the
part of the rival factions of the party
when A. L. Cole, who has long been
an enthusiastic Clapp supporter, an.
nounced at the Republican house eau
Gus last night that all Republicans
would be welcome at the caucus to be
held Tuesday night.
House Members Busy
The Clapp workers were handicap
ped during the day in interesting house
members in the senator's candidacy
for reelection by the fact that nearly
all the members were far more inter
ested in shaping the house organiza-
ton. If their claims are to be believed,
however, they secured nine additional
signers to the call.
Among the members whom they
claimed attached their names yesterday
for the caucus were: Representative
A. ]. Rockne, of Zumbrota; Represen-
tative Frank Carlson, of Litchfield;
Senator George w. Peachey of Owa-
tonna and Senator E. B. Wood, of Long
Prairie.
Rockne has been claimed as anti
Ciapp because of his residence in the
Third district, and Senator Wood has
been accused of being lukewarm in his
support Of Clapp because of leaning
toward Van SAINT. Senator Wood was
the last man to sign the call, which, if
it contains all the names which the
C1app men claim for it. leaves but forty
Republican house members and sena-
tors still unsigned.
The men opposed to Clapp for the
most part do not deny the claims of
the men who have put the call for the
caucus in circulation as to the num-
Der of signers that they have secured,
but they will not admit that the sign
ers are all bona fide supporters of
Senator Clapp.
