Work Of appointing the committee

Each congressional district in the
state is represented, and it is necessary
that selections be carefully made, par

not exist. Mr.. McElroy will exercise
great care in his choice in every in
stance, so that there may be no doubt
as to the best results being obtained.

Official Paper Of the City.

There Is considerable excitement
among the temperance. people in Min,
neapolis over the refusal Of the city
comptroller to furnish a list OF sureties
on liquor bonds for publication. The
temperance organ Of the city, the Re-
view, announced in a recent issue, that
it will publish the names in order that
the public might see who is backing up
the liquor business. The editor of the
Review states he thought the liquor
bonds were open to public inspection
like any other public records, but when
he. went to copy the names the comp
troller refused to let him have them on
the ground that such publication was
designed to make the bondsmen odious
and 1njure their business and standing
in the community. The comptroller is

What They Have to Say About Its DIs-

~ ~
The Pioneer Press this morning re-
vamped the oft repeated report of the
speedy breaking up OF the Minneapo-
lis Millers' association. An Evening
Journal reporter was dispatched on a
mission Of inquiry to the millers this
morning.
E. "A. Barber says: s'It is true about
Pillsbury & Co. filing notice Of their
intentions to withdraw, but I do not
think their doing SO will cause the as
ISOLATION to go to pieces
i. Christian: There Is no doubt that
the association will live whether Pills
bury goes out or stays In.
George Hineline: We drew out of the
association last September. I think it
will be a benefit to Minneapolis. when
. there will be elevators, board Of
trade and an open wheat market where
man won't be afraid to ship his wheat
because there will be more than one
buyer. know Of three other millers
that will withdraw when Plllsbury does.
J. A. Christian: I don't think there
will be any dissolution of the associa-
ton. When there is a surplus Of wheat
raised In the northwest so the millers
can let portion past Minneapolis and
80 to the lake merchants. then it is
pioUdpio IASTe Will Ue an open market
and not before. r
Mr.. Rollins: The association is, not
dissolved or liable to be. 1t is all a
vagary of Charlie Pillsburys mind.
Their withdrawal is because they can
not run the whole thing.
w. F. Cahili: The Millers' associa-.
ton is a chartered company, and any
members withdrawing does not affect
the stability Of the organization in the
least. f4sGs=. sS
F. L. Greenleaf: I think the associa-
ton will be continued.
F. 8. Hinkle: So far as I am con-
cerned there will be no special induce
ment offered to keep Mr.. Pillsbury in.
There is not a particle of truth that
the association is about to bust. They
can't bust it, 80
Hon. G. A. Pillsbury refused to
be interviewed and E. B. Andrews, gen
eral manager Of the Millers' association,
refused to place himself on record 1t
is understood, the CHER reason why Mr..
Pilsbury wishes to withdraw is that he
objects to the proposition to include
the Northern Pacific In the territory
controlled by the association. -
