state organizations that have enlisted

luncheon fame, has a personal repre-,
sentative, James Arneson, at the Chi.
cago convention to see how the land
lies. Perhaps a dozen other Roose-
welt men, in addition to the delegates
and ~alternates, will go to Chicago
tonight to be in at the convention
tons from other states and gather
more of the progressive enthusiasm.
I They Were Only Pooling.
Some of the twin city republican
leaders are now saying that too much
Importance has been attached to the
Ellsworth resolution passed at the
progressive state convention. The
resolution provided for a committee
of fifty to see that third party candi-
dates are placed in the field after the
primaries against those republican
candidates throughout the state who
will not line up for Roosevelt. Some
of the twin city leaders insist that
the effect of the Ellsworth resolution
has been overestimated. a.
In the first place, they assert Ellis
worth put over" his resolution be-
fore the convention fully realized it's
import. Several of the men who had
been active in arranging for the con
v~ention saw it's probable effect, but
for the sake of harmony they did not
openly oppose it. Ellsworth himself
admitted in Offering his measure to
the convention that it's merit lay
chiefly in the fact that it could be
candidates into the progressive ranks.
Therefore, some of the Roosevelt
men insist the resolution does not
represent the united opinion Of the
progressives of the state.
Anent the Committee.
The Roosevelt men who take this
position point out further that much
will depend on the committee of fifty,
and that J. Y. Jacobson of Madison
has the appointment of this commit
tee. Jacobson is one of the men
strongly opposed to a third state
ticket. The central committee might
be SO composed that it will n%eutralize
the effect of the Ellsworth resolution.
1t is said to have been J%acobson's
opinion before the progressive con-
vention that the progressive fight
should be waged before the republi-
can primaries, and that after the pri-
maries the Ratchet should be buried
with reference to the state ticket.
With Fl. T. Halbert and Judge Purdy
he supported the resolution that was
presented in the convention by G. L..
Caldwell of st. Paul, avoiding direct
reference to a third ticket.

Thurston of Judson, second.
A very interesting but one-sided
ball game was then played between
the picked E. F. U. team and the
Lake Crystal boys, in which the lat

of Is to 3. 1t was a smuggling match

Supper was served on the picnic
grounds after the ball game, and boat
rides enjoyed, after which the party
left for the train, which took them
back to Mankato, reaching this city
about nine O'Clock.
Committees Worked Well.
Much credit is due the various
committees of the lodge for the ex-
cellent way in which they handled
llelI emu Vi TIC plCllIC. ~. "a. IlOU-
son acted as chairman, O. G. o.
sen and Reese Thomas acted as the
other members on the refreshjnent
committee. On the transportation
committee were, w. Fl. Groh, chair
man, NJ. G.. Johnson, w. G. Zeno,
Anton Osten and James Bates, while
on the sports committee we're NJ. Ner-
bovig, A. Kaufman and Joseph Groh.
Mrs. o. w. Walker and James Bates
assisted with the refreshments. Taken
all in all, the picnic proved one of
the finest held this season.
The local f. F. U. lodge appreciate
very much the help and courtesy of
the Lake Crytal assembly. When the
picnicers from Mankato arrived on
the grounds several members of the
Lake Crystal lodge had coffee, lemon
AIDE, jars, cups, etc, ready and assist
ed in every way, furnishing a gaso-
line stove on which the coffee was
made.

for your good judgment of the Man
kato team, Mr.. Griffin.

kdtO ledul, MT. Grl1lu.
A young man on the side lines was
the chief rooter of the crowd, as he
could be heard all over the lot. If
Loyolas could take him along to
every game they would surely win.
How about it, Joe b.?
The crowd in attendance was about
600 people, the largest turnout this
season. They were all satisfied with
the game and are pulling for the
third game to be played here be-
tween the two clubs.
The lineup of the Loyolas was
switched somewhat. Conlin played at
third base and E. Mahlke moved to
right field. Harrison of Hamline play
ed center field. This was a good
move on the part of the manager.
Huh, who said something?
There was not an error made on
the Loyola side. Everything worked
with clock-like precision. knott de-
serves a great deal of the credit for
victory, as he held the opponent at
his mercy all the way through the
game. He felded his position in
good style.
The manager of the Loyola club
is wearing a big smile On his face
and the first thing all noticed last
night was one of McIntOsh's SO CT
gars in his face. Mac is spending his
money freely since the game. Every
body in on the deal.
Loyola journeys to Owatonna next
Sunday to play the crack team Of
that place.
