| that the state committee would
handle Hennepln county, and tried
to shelve the county committee. Add

Dalton, a Lawler man. in charge OF
the West hotel headquarters. Mean
while the county comittee had or
ganized with +. NJ. Henry as chair
man. Resenting the attempt to ignore
them, the county committeeman met
last week, refused TO join with the
state committee in the West hotel
headquarters, and voted TO start a
headquarters of their own. The Hen
nepin County Democratic club when
IL was started by the anti-Lynch
faction took pains to announce that
it had no connection with the state
committee. Now this crowd. headed
by ]. l.. Kiichli. who always gets into
the political game when the brewery
interests are involved. seem to have
made peace with the state com
mittee, but the original anti-Lynch
men are now fighting Lynch's state
organization, and II will take six
Philadelphia lawyers to untangle the
snarl.
The net result OF the drafting of
Congressman Hammond by Boss
Lynch to make the run for governor
will be that the democrats will lose
their one congressman from Mime
sofa. or course, Mr. Hammond very
likely would have been defeated II
he had run for congress again, and
that was one reason why II was
possible TO induce him to switch
for the state campaign. But in spite
of all democratic claims there is little
chance for him to elect q single
congressman in Minnesota this year.
There will be a solid delegation of
ten republicans In the lower house
from Minnesota I'm the next congress,
including eight old members and two
new men, F. +. Ellsworth In the
second district and Lowell z. Jep-
son in the tenth. Democratic candi-
dates for congress are making the
best fight they know how, but they
are not getting any backing, and the
whole endeavor Of the organization is
being bent to elect Hammond and
capture the state patronage.
All the bandwagon talk for HAM
mond has failed to make much i'm
preston in the twin cities. Among
the talent" betting is at even money
on a plurality OF 10000 for Lee, and
odds are being offered that he will be
elected.

pitched shut-out against the Pirates
yesterday, had to run from the oox to
the clubhouse to escape being carried
on the shoulders of the fans
