DEMOCRATS ARE
DIVIDING SP0|LS

Fargo, N. D.. Nov. 13.-For the pur-
pose Of reaching an amicable under
standing among The leaders a secret
caucus Of the prominent democrats OF
the state was reported held in the city
yesterday afternoon at the Metropols
hotel in order to settle among then-
selves the division Of the federal spoils.''
This meeting was entirely secret. 80
the chosen few were advised to b.
present. Some did not attend. and IL
would not be surprising If the rumoe
of such a meeting and its purpose were
not denied in toto, but it leaked cut
through different sources.
It is only natural that gossi- concera.
ing the division of the spoils would arise
after the election, despite the statement
of State Chairman Macarthur has brand.
ed such speculation as pure bunk" AnA
the rumors were somewhat confirmed In,
the minds of q number Of The republi-
can politicians Of the city when they
saw such a large number Of leading
democrats Of h state all ':just happen"
to arrive in the city yesterday at the
same time and as q mere coincidence
register at the Metropole hotel.
Twenty applicants are after the federas
marshalship. it is said. Among them are
Oliver Knudson. Jim Hall. D. H Mo.
Arthur, g.. J. Doyle. Warden HelIseroR
and others. It Is understood that STATE
Chairman Macarthur feels the marshal
ship is due him as a reward for hie
work during the last two campaigns.
Over the state it .is understood from
reports from various democratic strong
holds. that there has been q deeidsA
feeling prevalent ever since the cam
paign started that the state chairmaA
had no interest in n did nothing fer
Warden Hellstrom and was working
wholly for Governor Wilson and Mar
shall just so as to get credit and ha.
dentally take his place. Mr.. Macarthur
Ia very close to National Com~mitteeman
Bruegger and backed the latters cam
paign against a great man. others last
spring and the general impression 70
that Mr.. Macarthur himself thinks that
he is going to land this plum throueh
his association with Mr.. Bruesser.
Warden Hellstroms' friends feel it 10
said, that he did more than Macarthur
for the national ticket in the state ana
they are likely to insist that he have
the place and that the chairman has
had enough. The outcome is going to
be interesting in this race. az it is said
that the assistance Of the Republicans
in h senate may he asked to defeat
McArthur's confirmation in the event Of
his appointment.
Among those seen in the city yester-
day were Oliver Knudson. Col. Joseph
n. Kelly. s. J.. Doyle. State Chairman
Macarthur. Col. George w. Wilkinson.
and Others Mr.. Wilkinson t is report
ed. is going to make a determined light
for the postoftice basing his claims for
this appointment on mis- work for the
party in the past and on the fact that
he was postmaster at south Charleson,
during the last Cleveland administration.
There seems to be grave doubts wheth.
er the Macarthur wing Of the democratic
machine will stand for this, owing to
the friction between these two. which
grew into an open fight before the re-
organization Of the state committee in
September.

Minneapolis. MIMI, Nov. 11.-With the
last of the big companies making the
advance today soft coal has increased Is
per cent a ton in price in Minneapolis,
ranging from 1915 to A.x according to
grade. The various companies fell into
line in the last week: Scarcity Of the
article and difficulty Of keeping the east
supplied is given as the reason. Cargoes
of both hard and soft coal are arriv-
ing at the head of the lakes and will
continue till navigation closes about
December l. Until that time coal men
said yesterday that IL ey expect no
advance in the price of hard GOA They
declined to prophesy the effect when
new supply must come .~all-rail. Local
retailers are distributing coal as asked
for.
