in Gov. Johnson's campaign for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination will be fired
this afternoon when the party's state CEN
trail committee meets here to fix dates for
the state convention and plan for the
coming struggle. A lively fight between
the Johnson and Bryan adherents is ex-
pected. Eighty-f1ve members compose the
committee. and It is said that each will be
represented in person or by proxy In
fact. proxies have been eagerly sought
by the followers of Gov. Johnson. the one
idea being to prevent them falling into
the hands Of the Bryanites

errors "kitchen cabinet" credit the COM

by proxies. The nine members, 1t Is

SO far in the minority that their protest,
beyond making trouble, will avail them
nothing.

Frank Day called the meeting of the
order in the main dining room of the
Merchants Hotel this afternoon there was
full representation present, some OF
this representation. however. being by
proxy. Chairman Day opened the meet
ing in brief speech, saying Minnesota
was a democratic state and that although
there was a little difference of opinion
harmony would prevail. The business OF
the committee was started without any
preliminaries and the calling of the roll
began Immediately after a secretary had
been selected. That there may be clash
of factions before the meeting was over
was an early indication. 1t was evident
from the start that the Bryan supporters
in actual attendance outnumbered the
Johnson adherents by almost two to one
but it was declared by the Johnson men
that the Johnson people had enough
proxies to control the meeting.
After the roll call committee was ap-
pointed to examine the proxies and a
short recess was taken.
1t was said by one fully informed of the
trend of things that the Bryan men pres
ent were willing to indorse resolutions
eulogizing Gov. Johnson's administration
but that the resolutions should go no
further. leaving the presidential indorse-
ment out of the resolutions, entirely. The
friends of Gov. Johnson, however, do not
feel that way.
