St. Paul, August 13—(Special to the Pioneer)—Mea of Northern Minnesota played an important part the gathering here yesterday of the republican state central committee. Representative Steenerson, of Crookston, addressed the committee- men as did also A. D. Stephens of the same city and George H. Mattson, of Roseau, and what they said counted for suggestions made by them were favorably acted upon by the committee. “Let us not lean back in our easy chairs with a feeling of over confi- dence. While we see victory ahead for our entire state ticket, it is not well to become careless.” This was the warning sounded by Mr. Steenerson and it prompted State Chairman Smith to ask the aid of all committee men in effort get out 100,000 votes that usually are not cast because of indifference on the part of voters, many of them young men entitled to cast their ballot for the first time. Mr. Stephens was appointed a member at large of the committee and Mr. Mattson, who called atten- tion to the growth of socialism in northern districts, was named as a member of the committee from the Ninth congressional district and B. R. Hassman of Aitkin a member from the fifteenth judicial district. ‘This meeting marks the opening of the state camgaign of 1910. Headquarters are being fitted up in the New York Life building, Min- nesota and Fifth streets, and will be ready for occupancy by Monday morning. A. O. Preus, of Ada, fog- merly private secretary to Senator Nelson and now executive clerk - for Governor Eberhart, was chosen secretary of the committee and will relieve Chairman Ed Smith, of Min. neapolis, of much of the routine work at headquarters. A staff of stenographers is being employed and will be at work within the next few days. Congressman Tawney of Winona attended the meeting and there was a good natured bit of repartee between him and Mr. Steenerson. “Have you filed for Congress yet,”’ said Tawney. “Oh, yes sir,” Steenerson. “Well, were youable to swear that you were a republican?” smiied Tawney. “Didn’t need to, Jim, they knew it without my telling them,” was Halvor’s fling at Cawnnon’s staunch supporter. “Well, I hope vou win,” said Taw- ney. “And I am happy in the beliet that you are going to,” replied Mr. Steenerson.
