CAMPAIGN REFLECTIONS.
Some queer things develop as the canvass
goes on, and one of these brings into promi-
nence leading citizen of Winona. who is
good church member and reputable attor-
ney. One of the Democratic workers went out
a few DAYS ago and, after careful canvass.
found number of foreigners who had not
been naturaliZed. They agreed TO come to
Winoua and go through the naturaliZing pro-
cess and on Monday Nels Sebe, q prominent
Scandinavian farmer, brought them to that
city. The Republicans, in some way, got
wind of il, and they put out line OF picketS
to intercept then, among the picket contin-
gent being Hon. Thomas Simpson. He man
aged to get the ear OF Mr.. Sebo. and. in
generous mood, suggested that $50 could be
made if the men TO be naturaIized were in

The attention of museum managers in
search of curiosities is directed to the First
district. They might be able to secure the
unknown who telegraphed the organ from
Winona few days ago that the Republican
congressional committee, after careful can
vass, had placed Lovely's majority at from
800 TO 5000: also the unknown at Albert
Lea who sent the same paper a prediction
that Lovely would get 1.500 in Freeborn
county
The literary efforts of the Republican state
committee are exciting great deal of hilari-
GUS merriment- They are considered not only
unique, but absolutely paralyziug. The latest
Address to Voters and suggestions to
Voters are awarded the blue ribbon as the
gems of the campaign.
Attorney General Hahn's reply to Judge
Wilson is regarded here and in Winona as the
weakest and lamest effort Of the campaign.
Hasn't the attorney general any friends? 1t
seems not, or they would have kept him at
home.
Ex-Gov. Davis unintentionally gave away
one of the secrets of the campaign few days
ago. While on train talking to a Republi-
can, who, he did not know was going to vote
for Judge Wilson, Davis said Lovely's cam
vass had been made in every county in the
district. and his MAJ rity had been figured at
700. On the heels of this, however. the Re
publican congressional committee sent out
claim of $500 TO 5000 majority. This is
campaign Of BLUM and bluster-on the one
side.
One of the queer anomalies of politics is
forcbly illustrated in the case of the
secretaries of the congressional committees
of this district. Frank Randall acts in that
capacity for the Democrats and j. A. Taw-
ney for the Republicans. They are partners
in the practice Of law and face each other on
opposite sides of table, when at their Office
desks. IF any of the campaign secrets leak
out people will be justified in drawing their
own conclusions. G. D. E.
