PROGRESS of REORGANIZATION,

The Tribune has apparently under
taken the reorganization of the repub-
. lican party in the state, and prelim-
mary to the actual work, is laying
down in a series Of theses the condi-
tions of rehabilitation. This morning it
said: "The only thing necessary to re-
organize the republican party of Min
nesota is to put aside in council the
: men who have disorganized it,
Tits is absolutely simple, provided
these men will consent to be put aside.
J If, like Mr.. Hyde of the Equitable,
they decline to be dumped, there may
be trouble.
The Tribune reorganizer evidently
understands this, for yesterday he said:
5 ''We fear that it will be needful to
go outside Of the active participants
in last years contest to find candidates
for every important offce.''
"We fear,' from this showing, that
the reorganizer has undertaken a large
contract If everybody who was in
! favor of the last republican ticket and
everybody who was against it is to
be put aside, it does not look as tho
] there would be any republican ticket
next year. Perhaps, however, com
i promise could be made on the nomina'
: ton for all of the Offices Of the Trib-
I une representative. He is eligible on
( the ground that it was often difficult
+ to tell whether he was for the ticket
or against it. Having occupied such a
unique neutral position, it ought to be
possible for the party to rally around
him and thus cure the wounds Of last
year without opening any new ones.

He entered as a private, but was afterwards
made captain Of Troop A of Roosevelts Rough
Riders. His laconic expression, 'Who wouldn t
gamble for star?'' in response to somebody
who demonstrated with him for enlsting as a
private, made the rounds of the country. Wheth-
er the star he meant was Cuba, statehood for
Arizona thru the gal1antry of her sons, or a
br1gadier's rank for himself, has never been

Nationality Elements.

The people of the northern and west
ern sections Of the United States are
sprung from many different sources, and
nativity statistics of any state are
highly interesting to the student Of
politics or of sociology. That portion
of the returns of the Minnesota state
census will attract much attention.
The government census in 1900
showed that 74.9 per cent, or practically
three-fourths of the population Of the
state, was either foreign born, or .of
foreign parentage. It also showed what
most people do not realize, that people
Of German birth or parentage consti-
tute the largest single element in the
population Of the state, outside the
native born. Out of l,3lO,958 white per-
sons Of foreign birth or parentage, $685.
PCS were German, or 27.9 per cent.
Taken together, the Scandinavian peo-
pies outnumbered the German, but sin
ely, neither NorWegians nor Swedes are
as strong. The Norwegians numbered
237 ,945, or 1871 per cent, and the Swedes
225,991, or 17.2 per cent. These three
peoples made up the bulk Of the foreign
element in the state. The next largest
was the Irish, who numbered 91,6 25.
The earliest foreign immigration to
Minnesota was German, and that nation
atty shows larger percentage Of ":na-
tive-born of foreign parents,'' than any
Of the Others The Norwegians come
next in this regard, on account Of the
heavy wave of Norwegian immigration
that came to this state during and after
the civil war period. The bulk Of Swed-
ish immigrants came later, and more
than half the Swedish citizens
of the state are foreign-born. The re-
spective numbers in the three nation
alities are as follows:
| Native
Foreign Born, with
r. Born. Foreign Parents
German ............ III, DOT 249, 261
| Norwegian ......... 104 500 1873, 05(
Swedish ............ 115,476 1861;
Stating it in another way, only 81
per cent of the German element of thu
state is foreign-born, while 45 per cen
Of the Norwegian and 81 per cent Of
the Swedish citizens were born acros
the water. This difference accounts, t,
large extent, for the greater power il

peoples. They have not yet become s.
