'TIe has been the one conductor of this orchestra since It's beginning, a circumstance which Is unique In thls country except in the case of Theodore Thomas, who formed and conducted until his death the orchestra which remains monument to his name What the Minneapolis symphony orchestra Is today it owes 10 MT Oberhoffer's 8 genius and ability in selecting and training the men who comprise 1t, In inspiring the people of Minneapolis to their faith in him and in the orchestra, and in winning the approval of the public of Minneapolis and of the num- srous cities In which the orchestra h1s teon heard.
 Given the born conductor, a city which places the necessary funds at his disposal to gather together first class body of men from the music cen- .ters of the world and the years neees- sary to form this body into trained organization with a rare esprit de corps, it fs no more to be wondered at tha Minneapolis has become the home of a great orchestra, than that Boston or Chicago has accomplished a like result. Emil Oberhoffer, by virtue of what he has accomplished, stands today one of the foremost figures In the musical life of America and is recognized wherever the Minneapolis orchestra has appeared"

Numerous Candidates Indicate

ST. PAUL. April 4.-(Special Cor
respondence.) The Republican fight
in Minnesota is getting SO hot and so
complex that it is crowding matters
Democratic entirely out of view. In
fact the Democrats are perfectly con-
tent to sit back and let their Repub-
lican brethren fight it out.
One of. the most momentous hap
penings 2of the week was the an
nouncement Of Edgar Weaver Of
Mankato that his hat was in the
ring" as a gubernational candidate.
This means, Of course, that Governor
Eberhart will have opposition In his
own county. His enemies say he will
lose his county, and further add that
he will lose his own district. Cover
nor Eberhart and his admiring
friends are plainly worried at the
trend of events. They are of the
opinion that Weaver's candidacy is as
much directed to discredit the Gov
ernor at home as it is to secure the
nomination for Mr.. Weaver. In fact
Secretary Wheelock says it is entirely
to hamper the governor, and that for
any other purpose it is a farce.
Spooner May Enter Race.
1t is also expected that Representa-
tive L. c. Spooner, of Morris, will
announce his candidacy for the gov
ernorship within few days. This
was foreshadowed a week ago when
it was announced that number of
farmers living in S. Y. Gordon's
county had petitioned Mr.. Spooner
to become a candidate.
On Thursday last petition of
something like 200 business men and
politicians in Minneapolis requested
Mr.. SpoOner to get into the race
Everyone believes that he will do This
and the general impression is that his
candidacy will hamper Gordon, In
fact there are those who believe tha,
the interests behind Mr.. Spooners are
not unfriend1y to Governor Eberhart
