Result Of Clever Moves.

The victory Of Mr.. Rines is the re-
suit Of a series of clever moves, start
Ing with the secret caucus held re-
Gently in Minneapolis. At that time
Representatives Rines, Nolan, Holpa-
berg, Frankson, Johnson and Ofsthun,
who had been mentioned as candi-
dates for speaker, brought as many
Of their friends as possible into the
caucus, and after balloting decided
upon Rines as their candidate. The
band-wagon movement thus started
carried Rines over. There Is consid-
cradle mystery about the Ramsey
county action which finally cl1nched
Mr.. Rines' choice as speaker.

Ernest Lundeen Of Minneapolis also
recognized that Mr.. Rines had carried
pf the palm Of victory. but Mr.. Lun-
leen maintains that he will not 90
into the caucus. but will continue his
light alone for what he regards as
Progressive principles. He said:
Reliable information reaches me
that Representative Rines has the
unanimous Endorsement Of the Ram
pey Republican delegation, which,
added to the solid Ninth and heavy
support n oil but the Third district,
gives Mr.. Rines the lead In the Re.
publican caucus and also on the door

Mr.. Lundeen's attitude indicates
that, while the election of Mr.. Rines
