WHITMAN IS NOT ENDORSED
NEW YORK LIKELY TO SEND upt
INSTRUCTED DELEGATION.
Fight 70 Obtain Resolution Comments
Ing Root 40 "Favorite Son. for
! :. Presidency Defeated.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE Republic
an national campaign will be tough
for demands for adequate militar
preparedness and tariff reform, opp<
sition to granting early independents
to the Philippines, and insistence upol
q vigorous stand for American rights
both in Mexico and in relation to tn
European war, according to the key
note platform adopted unanimously b,
the Republican state convention.
There was no difference in opinio,
apparent among the 1872 delegates t.
the convention in regard to the plat
form, but bitter fight was precipitat
ed by supporters. of Governor Whit
man, who attempted to secure an I'm
qualified endorsement for his admins
tration and to force his nomination a,
chairman of the delegation to the ma
ztlcn6l convention III Chicago.
+: s1% UnInstructed Delegation.
Tho net result was that New Yor1
state will send an uninstructed dele
cation to the national convention II
the action of the convention is upheld
by the voters at the primary election
in April.
A determined fight, led by Henry L
stimson, to obtain a resolution recon-
.mending Mr.. Root as New York's ia
vorite son for the presidency was de-
feated in the committee on resolutions
and counter resolution. that no pres
idential candidate be endorsed, waa
passed unanimously.
H".ss!h::s jhv77.:vved in Fight.
The principal ground upon which
the opponents of the Root resolution
fought was that an endorsement q
Mr.. Root would preclude the POSSIBLE
ity of New York putting forward JUS
tice Charles Hughes as the state can
didate for the presidency.
The big battle in the convention
was fought out between the "old line'
organization Republicans under the
leadership of~Wm. Barne', ana the
supporters Of Governor Whitman. TIL;
Barnes men entered the convention
with the ayowed purpose Of refusing
an endorsement Of the Whitman ad
ministration and preventing the COY
ernor from heading the. New Yorl
delegation to the national cow ention

w. H. Donahue of Melrose and H
G. Baer of Bem4dji, have filed in the
presidential primaries to be held on
March "A, for delegates from the sixth
district to the democratic national con-
vention at st. Louis. Mr.. Donahue
who is an able attorney, is known
very generally throughout the district
as progressive democrat and a fear
less exponent Of the things in which
he believes. Mr.. Baer is cashier of
the Security bank Of Bemidji, is a
real democrat, and is highly respected
in, his community. Mr.. Baer is also
favorably known in many other parts
of the district. These two candidates
believe that Minnesota should be rep.
resented i1f democratic national coun.
ellis by another than F. B. Lynch, and
should they be selected, they would
vote accordingly.

There is one phase of the trouble
in the state treasurer's office which
has not received the attention il mer-
its. No system, however perfect, with
no matter Low many checks and bal
ances, can Insure the honesty of those
who operate it, or prevent collision.
The Minnesota system Of accounting
and checking is, we believe, a first
class one, and not surpassed in any
state. It is not SO much matter Of
system, Of records, but Of what the
statute permits to be done, What we
have in mind is the leaving to the
state treasurer the determination Of
what banks shall handle the state 3
funds on deposit. There is board
Of deposit, but the matter has beer
left to the state treasurer. At time:
there are immense sums to be place;
and banks are naturally anxious t
get all they can of this desirable de
posit. Influence, political and person
al. is brought to bear, and the ban]
RECEIVING such favor is naturall
grateful, and expected to reciprocate
This explains how state treasurer
whose credit might ordinarily be small
can receive accommodation tor larg
sums. The power that gave, can ais
take away, and the bank would ne
like to disoblige the dispenser Of d

lUSITANIA SETTLEMENT IS

Agreement Presented by Won Bern.

Been Made. U.s..

Washington, Feb. 17-The subma,
rine controversy with Germany cannot
be closed until the United States has
fully considered the possible effect OF
the declared intention of the Germanic
powers to sink all armed marchant
ships Of their enemies without warn.
ing after February 20.
This announcement was made BY
Secretary Lansing instead of the long
expected announcement Of a satisfac,
tory settlement Of the Lusitania nego.
tiations.
Perfected by months Of patient and
at times perilous negotiations, the
Lusitania agreement was presented by
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am.
bassador, In form which would have
been acceptable to the United States
had not the Germanic powers an.
nounced their determination to regard
armed merchant ships of their enem-
les as warships.
Delays Lusitania Settlement.
The Lusitania agreement now will
not be accepted as finally satisfactory
to the United States until President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing have
decided whether any of its terms
would be nullified by the principles of
the new submarine campaign:
This is the situation:
AS a result of the correspondence in
the Lusitania and Arabic cases, the
United States had Vested secure in the
belief that the future conduct of sub
marine warfare on humane lines and
In accordance with the established
principles of international law, modi-
fed somewhat by new conditions de-
veloped during the war, had been as
sured. The state department had been
proceeding lately upon the theory that
all that was necessary to be done i'm
the Lusitania case was to cover the
past not the future. :=
Assurance Apparently Destroyed.
Now the Austro German notice of
intention to sink armed merchantmen
apparently is regarded as having de-
stroyed that assurance, and it 10
deemed useless to try to adjust past
issue while the future is left open
with the almost certain assurance of
new incidents arising that may lead
to the most serious results.
The recent American circular note to
the Entente powers proposing dis
armament Of merchant ships is not re-
garded as in any way involving an
abandonment by the United States Of
its contention that belIigerents should
adhere to existing principles Of inter-
national law in submarine warfare.
To Exempt Certain Armed Ships.
American oflcjals contend that at
no time has the United States limited
the claim to exemption from attack to
unarmed ships.
What form the next ste1o In the ne
gotiations will take is not disclosed,
but there are shp6g indications that
the Geexx<1a1 government will be
s>aKed to assure the United States that
merchant ships armed for defensive
purposes only will be exempt from
unwarranted attack. $50 @.

We suppose the account of the dem.
ocratic conference in the St. Cloud
Times was written by Fred Schilplin,
who desires to be a delegate to the
national convention, and who is for
Lynch. In this account 1t is stated
with pleasure that the name Of Bryan
was not heard in the conference, and
Of course no applause for his name.
There was no particular object in
mentioning Bryan in that kind of a
gathering, which was as listless as
most machine-made, handpicked gath
erings are. And yet, if the right kind
of speaker had used it in the right
sort of way, and there were those
there who could have done it, if they
had believed it worth while there
would have been plenty of applause

The Washington correspondent Of
the Duluth Herald assails Bryan as a
fourth rate lawyer, ignorant, avari-
cious, etc., and in the same article de-
plores the hold he has in congress on
democratic senators and congressman.
We wonder if the readers Of this stuff
see the funny side Of it. A man in
.nlf respects unworthy, according % to
folks who feel like this correspondent
has so much influence that he, without
patronage, can do more with the rep
resentatives Of the people than those
who have patronage to bestow. The
fact that man has been three time:
the nominee of his party for the great
est office in the land, that he has beer
an important factor in every conYen
ton of his party for twenty years
that even though defeated il 1908, h,
bent the convention of 1912 to his viii
and made Woodrow Wilson president
all these facts seem beyond compre
hension by those who do not like hin
because they fear him.
