Paris, June 9.-America Will have an

French minister Of foreign affairs, who
is a warm admirer of the United States,
its institutions and its people. NJ.
Delcasse, like numerous other French
statesmen Of the present day, began
life as a poorly paid school teacher.
He is the most consistently democratic
public man in France today. Every
detail Of his appearance, manner, bear.

eloquence proclaims this fact. He
cares little for applause, and less for
the mere superficial dignity Of office.
The subtler graces and fnesse Of the
diplomat which are wanting in him he
replaces with natural tact and fine
good sense. These qualities were
Brought into strong relief by the

lot to conduct a retreat that was as In
evitable as it was humiliating to his
countrymen, and he came out Of II

Politics II, Hennepin

Hennepin county will have an unof-
fetal delegation at Duluth that may
prove not the least important Of it's
two delegations. A review Of the COM
pleted county delegation shows that
while. many prominent workers have
been included, many as prominent are
not. Many Of the latter are planning
to attend the convention. unoffcially
and it Is believed that before proceed
ings are carried far, some advice and
assistance from few Of the outsiders
may be welcomed by the regular dele
cation.
While there is no attempt to criti-
else the delegation, it is nevertheless
felt that some unfortunate omissions
have been made. Most Of the blame
is attached to the system Of allowing
the delegation to be selected largely
by the ward delegations in the county
convention. While prominent workers
and leaders were elected, many local
workers unknown in the state at large
and in some cases in the county were
left off the delegation are well-known

at Duluth by other delegations.
Among the omissions are severa!
Hennepin county men who are or have
been state officers. Lieutenant Cover
nor Ray w. Jones, the only elective
state officer from Hennepin county fol
years, will be an unofficial delegate
Mr.. Jones stepped aside in the ware
