Each of these candidates is Scrambllng
after the
SCANDINAVIAN VOTE.
By the way, Scandinavian is too gen.
eral a term. and does not cut the fine dis
tinction so desirable between Swedes and
Norwegians Senator o. E. Wilson, of Will
place, is the champion Of the Norwegians
so much so that II. G. Stordock, of Roth
say, says it is menace to his (StordOck's)
possibilities in the direction of Won
Baumbach's chair. And St0rdock claims
also to be a Norwegian, although he was
born in this country. and he regards the
chances of either StockenStTOm or MattSOn
with Jealous eye. The latter represent
the Swedish element. John. ". Arctander
is to make the nominating speech for
MattsOn, and c. A. SandStroni, of ST. Paul,
will do similar favor for StOckenstrom.
THE SWEDISH REPUBLICANS

you expect me to take McGilI and go up in
the Fifth district and get the Scandinavian
vote?" OF course, Nelson says this to boom

Wan strength, and policy. Gilman is the
favorite of the state central committee, and
like Candidate Castle, he is strong high
license man. This is what hurts
Albert Scheffer's chances. AS German,
he is naturally opposed to high license. He
has opposed it on the stump and in the leg
islative lobby. His determined oppo.
sition started frigidity between
him and Capt. Castle, but Capt
Castle says Scheffer is honorable
in his methods of fighting high license, and
not otherwise, as some rural opponents
would have it. Another thing against
Scheffer is the fact that he is banker
