His Pretended 1Intention to Sidestep Leadership of Unwashed In . - Minnesota IS GIVEN LITTLE CREDENCE BY THE REPUBLICANS Most Conservative. St. Paul, Minn., April 11.— Frank A, Day, late secretary to ‘Gov. Johnson, king of the un- washed and chairman of the state democratic central committee, has visions, likewise forebodings. He is positive democracy is going to sweep the state this fall, but he fears that pressing business duties will prevent him from directing the job. He simply must retire, that is all there is to it. The big fellow was indulging 'in visions yesterday and when he declared that next fall would see the elec- tion of the democratic ticket trom top to bottom, he said he was con- whole thing by the fact that he had met no less than ten repub- licans in the morning and they all told him that they would not vote for a- republican under any con- sideration this time, *‘And if that is not enough,” added Frank, ¢‘then any one has the privilege of look- ing over my correspondence. It is an eye opener, I tell you.” Regarding his contemplated retire- ment, which Mr. Day says may be compelled because of the increase in straats tonight, but - will be out tomorrow night. _———————— HOUSE CLEANING TIME' his publishing business, ‘the demo- cratic chairman spoke rather feel- ingly. “Isn’t it a shame” he We carry everything in Lace Curtains, Carpets, Rugs, Lin- oleums, Window Shades, Colonial Draperies, Brass and Wood Cur- tain Poles, and can supply you with anythmg at this time in short Don'’t forget to visit our store at this time of the Everything new for spring now on display.

I think I will give way to a younger chap.” The King of the Unwashed did not say that he might reconsider his intention. of retiring. the general opinion is that Day will be on the job to the finish. They do not take him seriously. Republican Outlook Bright. republican leaders who look upon the situation, as faras the state ticket is coacerned, as about the best in years. There was never such harmony among the leaders vinced of the certainty of the and Gov. A. O. Eberhart’s progress to date has been one triumphial march. The conservation congress, his - visit to Duluth Thursday, where he was the-honored guest of several hundred business men, and the con- stant ovations tendered him 'are straws that count for much with those who are watching the game and .who are interested in his election. All fear of opposition in ‘the coming state convention has been' removed and" mothing but harmt_)n_y is in sight. Kellogg Probably Out of It. The United States senatorial situ- ation, as far as the North Star state is concerned, is expected to take on new color next week when Frank B Kellogg, the St. Paul trust buster, arrives home. Mr. Kellogg, according to Washington advices, is due to inform - his friends that- he will not get into the game this time, that existing conditions and the pressure of business will not per mit it. This is a nice way of putting it, but, quoting a Washlnzton friend of the big attorney, polmcal Down here| GREAT BIG ACT TONIGHT AT BRINKMAN THEATER The Three Casads, ‘‘Fashion Plates of Music and Com- edy,” Have Been Engaged for Remainder of Week, at Big Expense.
