Republican votes to overcome the

A Special Interest Record.
Nelson's Is a special interest rec
ord. In committee room and on roll
call he has served the railroads, the
steel trust, the Morgan-Guggenheim
coal and timber schemes, the ship
building interests, the money trust
and allied trusts, overcapitalized and
arrogant, that are exacting tribute
from the farmer, the workingman and
everybody else who pays for food and
clothing. He has been faithful to
the Old Guard in every contest with
the Progressives for control of the
senate. He does not represent the
needs and interests of the people Of
Minnesota.

It seems that baseball is growing in bounds in the south. News has just been received that 1t is probable the At lanta Crackers will have two teams at Ponce De Leon park next season.
 For some time the Macon magnates have lost money on the Macon team in the Sally league. When President Eth ridge of the Macon association was last in Atlanta he called upon President Cal laway and, acording to the Georgian, said if the Macon club failed to make money he would come up to Atlanta and talk continuous baseball to him.
 If the Atlanta club should decide to place another franchise in the Gate City then three Southern league cities, New Orleans. Birmingham and Atlanta. would enjoy continuous ball through the season. This proposition of continuous ball is sweeping throughout the north and south. The new Columbian league will give continuous ball to many of tho

Auburn, February 20-(Special.)- Coach Mike Donahue is wearing a troubled frown here at Auburn these days. He has his work cut out for him in the task of picking almost an of new, untried, and practically un- heard of material. Since mid-term ex- aminations more than 40 men are out each afternoon and the coach Is watch ing the candidates at batting and field ing practice, with the purpose of pick Ing a varsity squad.
 Of last years squad only five men regulars Neither Manning, who had been elected captain for this season, nor Allen, this seasons manager and regular catcher, is in college. To suc- ceed Manning, Kirk Newell of Dade- vile has been elected by last years s varsity men. Newell, who was Au- burns regular pitcher last year, will not play in that position this season, however A long spell of fever which seized him during football season and kept him to his bed for more than two months probably has not left him with the requisite strength. Anyhow, Cap- tain Newell will play at shortstop, and Coach Donahue must find another pitcher.
 Davis, a new man from St. Clair county, is showing up with good form, and it is likely that he will land a pitchers job. Besides him, there is Cantley, promising scrub pitcher of last season, and a few as yet un- known.
 Davenport varsity man of two years standing, pitched and won a couple of games for Auburn last year, but the pitchers box is not his regular station He worked because of the dearth of pitching material, and will be kept off the slab this season prob- 'ably to play first base or in the outfield.

 The general belief, however, is that the resolution was framed and adopted for the purpose of preventing a slate of can ddates to be voted for in a bunch by making cross mark at the head of the 1st. The attitude of the committee seems to be that every man has a right to become a candidate for delegate if he selects, and that every candidate has an equal right to present himself before the people on his own merit, From the pres ent indication. therefore, there Mill be no slate of candidates for delegates known as the Underwood or the Wilson" or the "Harmon'' slate,
