REPUBLICANS ASK HIM TO BE-
COME MINNESoTA's cANDI-
DATE FOR PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION..
SUGGESTS G. O. P. IN STATE
UNITE ON SENATOR BURTON
Manager of Cummins Campaign In
North Star State Looks With Sus-
picion on Proposal That Northrop
Become a Candidate-Fears
1t Is a Root MoveN1ent.

Minneapolis, Dec. ga delegations
of Republicans called on DR.. Cyrus
Northrop at his home and asked him
to become Minnesotas "favorite SON.
candidate for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination with the object of cir
cumventing the entanglements of Min
nesota's new presidential preference
primary law.
DR.. Northrop's ultimate answer was
that should the Minnesota field be left
practically to himself, and should the
call be made upon him by fair repre-
sentation of all the factions of the Re-
publican party in the state, he would
give to the proposition calm delibera-
tion."
Northrop Endorses Burton.
Those who called upon DR.. Northrop
were Walter N. Carroll, who originat-
ed the idea Edward E. Smith, former
lieutenant governor and former chair
man of the Republican state central
committee, and former Mayor William
Henry Eustis.
Knowing the purpose of the VISIT
Dr. Northrop opened up the discussion
by asking a few pointed questions
about the primary law which the Re-
publican leaders term an absurd piece
of legislation"
Il have better plan in view, l be-
lieve," said DR.. Northrop. Il suggest
for your consideration that, instead of
selecting me as favorite son. the
Republicans Of Minnesota unite on The
odore Burton of Ohio and send a dele
cation to Chicago under his banner.
The One Man In Minnesota.
"The names Of the men who really
are possibilities for the Republican
nomination probably will not be on the
Minnesota ballot" said Mr.. Eustis.
Furthermore, in that event, no sup
porter of any of these men may be-
come a candidate for delegate. Can
didacy is limited to the supporters of
those whose names are on the ballot.
Further, the whole plan is pointed to-
ward party strife rather than toward
party unity. We come to you as the
one man in Minnesota under whose
banner the voters of this state would
unite"
Cummins Manager Suspects Plan.
l. A. Caswell, manager of the Cum
Minis campaign in Minnesota, looks
with suspicion now on the proposal
that DR.. Northrop become a candidate.
He fears it is Root movement. One
of Senator La Follette's supporters
also expressed similar fear.

MAY REQUIRE EXAMS
ONE IMPORTANT STATE APPOINr.
MENT is HELD UP.
Positions of Developer and That OF
Statistician Up to the Civil
Service Commission.

Madison.-Of two of the most i'm
portant appointments made recently
by any state body, one has been held
up by the civil service commission
and the other may meet the same fate.
The first was the appointment of G.
L. Glyun as developer" for the state
board of industrial education at sal
airy of $4,000 year. The civil service
commission considered the appoint
ment at recent meeting and took it
a1dei advisement.
According to John Hardwood, the
position is unquestionably under civil
service. Mr. Glynn has had charge of
an industrial school at New Haven,
Conn, and expected to come to Wis
consin the first of the year.
The second appointment is that
made by the state board of education
in naming B. r. Buckingham, New
York, chief statistician of the board
at salary of $4,000 year. According
to Mr.. Hardwood this position is also
under civil service Whether either
Of the two appointees will have to take
examination remains with the board.
Mr.. Buckingham's position can be
best described as educational accoun-
tant and budget preparer for the state
board of education. Under the law
creating this board, it is given exclu-
sive financial control of the institu-
tons of higher education in the state
and the law came as a result of alleG'
ed competition among these institu~
tons for large appropriations from the
various legislatures.
