JOHN LIND'S CANDIDACY.

themselves to another candidate previ-
GUS to the announcement of Mr.. Lind's
candidacy: Even Mr.. Turrell himself
assured us that he would not have be-
come candidate had he thought it
probable that Mr.. Lind would aspire to
Congressional honors at this time. Al
though Mr.. Turrell will receive some
votes in the convention which other
wise would 90 to Lind, it is not i'm
probable that Mr.. Lind will go into the
convention with the largest following.
Neither can afford to be hostile to the
other, as the time may come when, in
order to secure the nomination for a
candidate in the western end of the dis
trict, they must work in harmony. The
following are few extracts from an
additional number of exchanges that
espouse MIR. Lind's candidacy:
Lake Benton News:-The unanimity
and enthusiasm with which the candi-
dacy of John Lind is received by the
press of the district reflects his popu-
larity. There is no doubt but he will
be successful. Mr.. Lind will run no
''bar'l campaign and his supporters
are attracted to him by his manly quail
ties and abilities. The extracts printed
in another column show fully the es-
TEEN in which he is held.
Candy News:-The Lake Benton
News announces John Lind as candi-
date for congressional honors. He is
an able man, and will have many ar.
dent supporters.
Granite Falls Journal Among those
prominently before the people is Hon.
John Lind and we should not be SUR
prised to see him carry off the prize.
Tyler Journal:-Mr. Lind is man
of many virtues and excellent qualifca-
tons for the position. AS a lawyer he
stands at the head. and is noted for
strictly: honorable methods at all times
in his practice. He is well known
throughout the district and commands
universal respect and confidence. He
is dear to the hearts of his countrymen
and the Scandinavian vote of the dis
trict at present is no small item. We
believe it is safe to say that Mr.. Lind
will be the unanimous choice of Lin
coin County.
Currie Minnesotian:-To those who
do not personally know Mr.. Lind, and
they are few, we will here say that he
is an Americanized Swede, was raised
on farm in Dakota county, this state,
where he had the misfortune to have
an arm ground off in sorghum mill,
being thus disabled for farm work he
took up the study of law and although
he is yet young man, he ranks among
the first in the state. He is known all
over the state as the Honest Lawyer.
He is an active, hard working and we'll
informed man, and eminently fitted for
the office, and the peer of any other
man in the district.
Mankato State Registration. John
Lind, of New Uln, is brought out by
the Review of that town, for congress.
Mr.. Lind is no doubt a very able man,
and lightning may possibly knock his
hat off.
Lac qui Parle Press:-John Lind, of
New Ulm, is mentioned as candidate
for representative to congress from this
district to succeed Hon. James B.
Wakefield, our present representative,
whose ill health and advancing age will
not longer admit of his serving in that
capacity. Mr.. John Lind is we'll
spoken of by his home papers as we'll
as others throughout the district, and
if he possesses the ability claimed for
him by his friends and is Republican
with the welfare of the people of the
district at heart, rather than his per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, then he is our
man, but if his record has any crooks
the Republicans of this district cannot
afford to court defeat by placing him in
nomination.
Plpestone correspondent St. Paul
Globes Mr.. John Lind of New Ulm is
in the city paving the way for his
nomination for congress. From present
appearances it would appear that he is
the choice of the Republicans of this
portion of the district over any of the
other would-be candidates, and quite q
number of the leading politicians here
claim that there can be no doubt bu1
that he will get the nomination at the
convention.
