North Publishing company. Too many
Scandinavian candidates for the few
places on the state ticket that amount
to anything may cause great deal OF
internal disSension.
II matters political continue as they
are now until next fall. the Minneapolis
Republicans will find it difficult to elect
one alderman in the whole city. When
the struggle between the Minneapolis
Street railway and Anderson & Doug
lass company had ended in the defeat
of the latter for franchise, the tax
payers of the city grew sick Of the pres
ent council, and have not become con-
valescept Yet. The people particularly
who were personally acquainted With
Aid. Cole were much surprised to learn
of his wholesale denial of certain state
ments Il morning paper credited him
with making, and in less tran thirty
seconds after, admitting those state
mentS. Every one who read the account
as published concerning these "bOOdle"
charges, immediately decided that there
was no use in looking for any
facts from the Republican council; that
The latter would try and turn all the
odium arising from the case upon the
few Democrats in the council, and well
did they strike the spot when they
heard Aid. Emerson Cole eXonerate
City Clerk Haney from any connection
with the case.
Deputy Tressle breathes easy these
days, and all because he got brand new
commission from Marcus johnson reap
pointing him as deputy. This was com
fortine, to say the least, i'll view OF the
fact that some half dozen able-bodied
Republicans were in hot pursuit.
Coils. Mead and Mcintyre are credited
with the intention of writing a joint
work Oh their war experiences, honey
comDed with brief on ''Fhe Pleasures
of Life III Wine Cellar" A sample of
the latter will accompany each book to
boom the sale and show the progress
the writer's have made in the past
twentysiX years.
Bob Evans dropped in on the investl-
gat ng committee from the city council
last Thursday and whispered something
in "prominent' Republican ear. Can
it be that BDb's position on the national
committee is being endangered by the
scandals of a Republican adminiStra-
ton?
Carmen n. Smith has not word to
say these days, but he is chewing more
gum than ever before.
The contest for the county attorney
ship promises to be warm i'll the Demo-
cratic convention. At any rate, the po-
sition is not likely to 20 begging. Benz
Davenport, who has heretofore had his
eye on the county judgeship. and has
Af oi,at tin1s fnp thn
district bench, is now said to be willing
to try his hand as a public prosecutor.
w. Ii. Donohue, so rumOr goes. is also
once more casting a longing look for
the same place. A. ID. Smith is said to
be satisfied that he is entitled to the
position. and confident that he will be
rewarded by the nomination. K. j..
Penney feels certain that the Democrats
will WIN this time, and may conclude
once more to try his hand in politics.
But there is another Richmond in
the field. w. A. Lancaster is a young
lawyer from Maine who has lived in the
city for several years, and is better
known in his profession than in politics.
"He is not all office seeker" said one of
his friends, "but he is a splendid law
yer and an awful good Democrat, and
would make a rattling good prosecuting
attorney" In view of the fact that
there may be disposition to try little
new material in the construction OF the
ticket, the latter's cnances are not with
out favor.
G. NJ. Pond would not be unwilling to
enter the race for the position of pro-
bate Judge. He demonstrated in his
race against Judge Hicks that he is
tirst-class sprinter as vote catcher, and,
aside from his qualifications, he is a
most available man for the position.
An old-time Democrat was heard to
make the very sensible remark: Two
things should always be considered in
placing candidates before the people,
qualification and availibility-''A tick
et,'' he said, should be built on the
plan of the wonderful zone HOSS
Shay" The weakest place should be
as strong as the rest. And if the DEM
ocracy will use little horse sense in it's
operations this fail it will sweep He'll
nepin county. But if the men who are
anxious to see it succeed, and who
ought to take hold and help it through,
expect to begin action at the caucus
time, they will be disappointed. The
time to begin the campaign is now at
hand.o
It is the common talk that p. P. Sven
son will be the next sheriff. A man
who can run about 5000 votes ahead of
his ticket in a presidential fight would
make it very warm for his opponent in
all off year.
'If the Republicans should again
place John F. Peterson in the field for
register of deeds, why would it not he
good plan for the Democrats to bring
out H. 0. Peterson" The question
was asked by a Democrat who laborS
under the alusion that the Scandinavia
ans are clanish. But what is the mat
ter with f. B. Clement for the office of
register of deeds? That genial smile of
his would elect him to almost any
office where there was only half a
chance.
