A slogan has finally been adopted
for Little Falls by the Water Power
company Of this city, Messrs. J. L. Nc
Cague Of Omaha, Neb., and Frank II.
Parsons of New York City, president
and vice president, respectively, Of the

it represented the first letter Of each
word of the name Of the company, "L.
F. w. P. CO."
An electric sign with this slogan on

Minneapolis Tribune [131: Congress-

Offices on Bargain Counter
FFFrom press reports it would appear
that the bosses, who pretend to act for
the party, are placing the Offices which
the people have the constitutional duty
to select, on the bargain counter for
trading purposes. The death of our
late esteemed governor was a sad oc-
currence, but the Inauguration Of a
new governor was an official act even
though it came in the form Of an in
heritance. The new governor may be

FIGHT LIKELY ON FRED LYNCH
FIGHT PROBABLE AT DEMOCRAT
III. 10 CONFERENCE ON CHOOs-
ING COAGMTTTEEMAN

St. Paul, Jan. Opposition to- the
reelection of Fred Lynch as national
committeeman from Minnesota will
demand this year that the national
committeeman be chosen from tile list
of delegates elected to the national
convention. 5 s ~
May Precipitate Fight; '
They will insist that aspirants for
committeeman shall announce them
selves in advance and file for delegate
in order that the democratic voters
many know that they are voting for
committeeman as well as for dele
gates. This is one of the propositions
that will cause a hot fight in the state
conference to be held in st. Paul Feb
ruary 8.
Threaten Separate Slate 3
Anticipating that the Lynch organi-
zation will control the conference and
that the proposition will be- turned
down there, the opposition is prepar-
ing to put a complete delegate ticket
in the field, and one Of the chief argu-
ments of the candidates on this ticket
will be that in voting for them, the
democrats of the state have an oppor-
tunity to choose their own committee
man instead of leaving delegates chos-
en- for another purpose to select an
outsider.
Agreement Not Probable
It is possible that, since the insur.
gents threaten to make this an issue,
the Lynch crowd may accept the ,cha1-
lenge and adopt similar policy at
the conference. However, this is not
probable, for Mr.. Lynch has declared
he will not seek place on the dele
cation. because he expects to be re-
elected national committeeman.
The organization men may argue
that since Lynch is an avowed candi-
date for committeeman the democrats
will be voting for committeeman when
they vote the organization ticket Just
as truly as they win If they vote with
the opposition.
Henry Vessel Not Pacifed
Henry Vessel Of st. Paul declares
that the appointment of his brother as
United States marshal does not re-
concile him to the Lynch administra-
tion, and that he will be candidate
for delegate from the Fourth district.
James A. NOVEL; also is expected to
be a candidate for delegate, and he
may be candidate for national com
mitteeman: ~ % 49,.
