NO dunn. HAYlNES
Man FOR JOHNSON
DEMOCRATS OF STATE COMMIT
TEE FRoWN ON JOHN RYAN.
In Addition to Browning, the State
/ Campaign Managers Frankly and
1 Bluntly Serve Notice That Local
Campaign Manager Won't Do-Also
There's Doings in the County.

J. G. Haynes has been notified by the
managers Of Governor Johnson's cam
paign that his choice of chairman for
his campaign committee is not to their
liking. They understand that Alder
man John Ryan, who heads the city and
county organization, and handled the
Dunn-Haynes combination in the first
ward two years ago, is to be the head
of the Haynes machines in the coming
campaign in Hennepin county and have
frankly announced that they 90 not'
Haynes insists on keeping Ryan at the
head Of his machine, the objections Of
the state committee may lead to an
open break and dual democratic or
ganization in Hennepin county.
All charges concerning the Dunn
| Haynes combination of two years ago
are denied now, but it was openly
worked in the first ward with the re-
suit that Dunn ran far ahead of the
rest Of the republican state ticket in
the first, and johnson ran behind F. G..
| Winston, the democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor.
Another cog in the Haynes machine
in Hennepin county that is not in
dorsed by the state central committee
is Joseph Kiichli, former third ward
alderman. Kiichli also is charged with
DcluS LII open OppOS1C1Ou ~ Iue ucAIl
of the democratic state ticket. It is
asserted that he personally and the
paper he controls are out against John
son. With two leaders. charged with
open opposition, past and present, to
the head of the democratic state ticket
the democratic state committee has felt
called upon to notify the democratic
candidate for mayor that his choice of
men is not desirable.
Some Mere Discord.
There is a further element of dis
cord between the state and county dem
ocratic committee. G. A. Quist, Of the
state central committee, member from
Hennepin county, is at open war will
Kiichli Of the county committee, tn,
cause being an old personal grudge
With these two interested in buttine
each other out of the way, the trouble
will not settle itself but will be con
stantly on the surface.
Members Of the committee and those
close to it persist in saying that all il
, harmony with the democratic machine
and it's subordinate parts. Those who
say there is trouble add that the ma
chine is not truly democratic without
some internal trouble. Several meet
: ings have been held and efforts made t<
; square things.
Two years ago the same condition OF
affairs existed. The county commit
tee was charged with being wholly TO-
Haynes and with throwing the rest o:
, the ticket, state and county; This wa
/ finally brought out in court last win
ter and proved against the committee
Two years ago the democratic stat
committee was not satisfied with tn
Haynes machine and maintained al
active branch of the state committe
in Minneapolis in charge of w. H
Williams, now state labor commissioner
and Mike Breslauer. The state centra
committee would like to get William
back on the committee, and is tryin,
to arrange it. It has been suggested
. that E. A. Stevens, Hennepin mem
, Der who has been appointed secretar.
teeman to make room for Williams, bu
> as the two are friendly, Williams re
Z fuses to take Stevens place.
Friction in the County.
Reports of friction in the county com
/ mittee are continually coming out, bu
are denied by the machine. It is sal
l that Williams and Haynes, the tw
l mayoralty candidates, have reached a
/ agreement whereby Williams will sur
port Haynes and Haynes in return wi
liams' plan for taking over the prov
erty Of the Minneapolis Gas Light con
pany in 1910. Haynes, it is said,
willing to stand for this much of tn
municipal ownership doctrine of til
party, but for no more.
| The democratic county committe
will meet tonight to settle it's troub]
and some shakeup is expected. 1t

Ryan as chairman of the local Hayn,
machine, he may be retired and SON
more acceptable man selected for til
place.
