al guard will begin to arrive Sunday,
the First regiment coming Immediately

and the Third regiment stopping here
on its way to Lake City. The Second
regiment is due at Lake City July IL,
so that it may be expected that all
three regiments will be in fine fettle
because of the proximity OF the cele-
bration to the annual inspection.
The executive committee consisting
of the colonies of the three infantry

There IS bound to be something do
in, lin the republican ranks for the
election of delegates to the national
convention. 1t IS we'll known that the
progressives will endeavor to control
the delegation for LaFollette or some
other one Of his stamp. But they
will have to contend with Governor
Eberhart's machine, as will be noted
from the following statement made by
the governor while in Spokane, Wash
ington:
"While President Taft's advocacy of
reciprocity with Canada has produced
a division OF feeling in my state,
said Governor Eberhart of Minnesota,
in an interview here yesterday, 1--WE
show practically undivided party. l
believe the sentiment OF the state is
in favor of a second term for the
President.
mir. Taft is the logical Republican
candidate for president in 1872 He
is much stronger than when he made
his speech at Wlnona. He has the
confidence of the Republican party
and believe he is an ideal candidate.
The conservation question has not
as yot deeply affected Minnesota, and I
should say that the majority tavors
the Taft plan as outlinsd at the con-
servaton congress last tall. In Mime
sofa the line on reciprocity may be
drawn roughly between the cities and
the country. The cities seem to favor
the reciprocity idea, while the farms
possib bly, oppose the program.
