Llndqulst, as state chairman, because
Burnquist failed to appoint Carpenter
as chairman.
Anxious Tc Get Control.
The governor says:
"These men have been and are an
xious to get control Of the politics Of
this state. Their policy has come to
be one Of rule or ruin. They well
know that the attitude Of the present ad-
nlinistration has been and is one OF
independence; that it is at all times
against any corporations or individu-
ais when it thinks they are in the wrong
and for those that it feels are in the
right. It is evident that this Mime
apolis clique is NJ satisfied with such a
position. What they want is an admin
istration that is for them whether they
are right Or wrong.
Destroying Party, He says.
IF this sn1ith-Carpenter combina-
ton is Republican, they should help
Build up the Republican party In

| Threat TO Ruin Administration.
| During the regular legislative ses
sion, Mr.. E. e. Smith served notice
on me that he would ruin the Republican
administration Of this state if I, a.
governor, opposed il any way the pro
posed convention bill which I felt Woult

convention system
"Since refusing to appoint Mr.. Car

convention bill this Smith Carpente
faction have endeavored in every wa.
possible to enbarrass the Republican
chairman chosen at my suggestion
