CONGRESSMAN Lfnd's Contemplate
Slur at Judge Wilson--Mc-
MILAN Reticent.
Cracks at Davis Continue to Come
in From All Quarters of
the State.


The crop of candidates and aspirantS for
offices in the gift of the governor and the
legislature increases so rapidly that it IS
difficult to keep track of all the men whose
ambitions are now running wild all over
the state, and who are flying about with
petitions eagerly seeking for signerS. There
are few counties without a candidate, and
the list has grown TO appalling proper
tions The GLOBE has taken pains,
through its reporters and its corps OF cor
respondents throughout the state, to collect
all obtainable information in regard to these
aspirants and the certainty or probability OF
their appointment or election. The list
which is printed herewith is certainly ae-
curate and reliable, although it is not en-
tirely full. When the reports from the
back counties come in there ale sure to be
additions made. But it embraces all the
candidates who have any chance to win. In
the compiling of this matter considerable OF
political interest has been developed. Gov.
McGill has selected his successor as insUr-
ance commissioner i'll the person of Charles
Shandrew. his present deputy. This is re-
liable and direct. Shandrew's successor
will be w. NJ Todd, of the Redwood Falls
Reveille, who was one of the original Nc
Gill boomers. J. K. Moore, of st. Peter,
has been definitely decided upon as the gov
ernor's private secretary. and W. ii. Angel
will remain as executive clerk. This
is all the definite information that
has leaked out. The contest
Tor adjutant general. it is believed, lies
between Maj. Seeley, of Lake City, and ii.
A. Norton, of Minneapolis. The railroad
cOmmissiOnerShipS are all at sea. There
are a host OF candidates. One of McGillS
intimates gives it out that the next board
will consist of Gen. Becker. eX-GOv. Austin
and John l.. Gibbs II. NJ. Knox, it is
thought, will be reappointed public exam
iner; likewise w. II. II. Taylor as librar-
ian. The disposal of the office of superin-
tendent of public instruction is in the dark.
1t is still believed that Gen. Flower will
get the oil inspectOrShip, although there is
renewed talk of change in the former
agreed plan The waTGenship of the peni-
tentiary eXciteS more interest on account Of
the reported intention of AlcCfil to give it
to H. G. Stordock, of Wilkin county, who
was promised good place. The warden
ship is to be given him because no loom
could be found for him on the board of
railroad commissioners. 1t has not been
understood that there was to be any OppO-
sition to Reed. Rice is believed to have
the inside track for the dairy commissioner
Ship but there is no reliable information
on this point The list of candidates for
the various positions is as follows The
