as the source OF Its information Is very
reliable, w ii. Eustis will have no diff
Guilty in getting the nomination In his
district. ThiS, Of course, will be poor
news for A..sJ. Boardman, who. up to
short time ago, had counted on Lang
don's support to beat Eustis. and Eustls
is now high in the estimation OF the
voters of his district and is not losing
chance TO increase That popularity.
Since. Robert. Jamison decided to
withdraw from the contest for county
attorney, being satisfied with one term.
he is now contemplating entering the
race fer. the legislature. Some Of his
friends say that Senator D. M. Clough
will not be a candidate for reelection.
and that in that event Mr.. Jamison
would be a worthy successor to MI.
Clough. This is merely conjecture,
however, for the present, as Mr.. ClOugn
may, in the event of not getting any
place on the state ticket. decide to make
the race for his old place in the senate.
He was spoken of as possible candl-
date for mayor, but he will not have 1t
now. He does not want the office at all,
and would not spoil his future political
chances by taking it.
The selection of j. T. Wyman as
chairman of the Hennepin delegation
to the state convention bids fair to bring
that gentleman out as candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Wyman disclaims any am
bition to succeed Mayor Babb, as he is
not politically inclined that Way-so he
says, but will scarcely refuse it pressed
very hard. There are very few men IN
the Republican party in Minneapolis
who are anxious to run for this thank
less Office. particularly as they are not
sure of success, and absolutely satisfied
of making any number Of enemies II
elected. 1t is understood, however, that
he will be urged to enter the race, and
he may yet consent.
The Scandinavian Republicans have
already decided to push A. c. Haugan
for the mayoralty nomination, and if
reports are true. Mr.. Haugan will ac-
cept il the nomination comes without
much opposition. A leading ScaDdina-
Wan, when asked yesterday what he
thought of Mr.. Hangar for mayor, said:
II believe he will be nominated, and,
If so, he will accept and be elected too.
He was candidate for state treasurer
up to the census trouble, and then he
drew out because he could not consist
emily remain there. 1t would have
been suicidal for him to have done SO.
Since then he has been asked to run
for mayor, and to this request he has
quietly replied that it was too early to
talk local politics, but am confident If
the nomination comes with any reasona-
die degree of unanimity that he will
accept.
Another and perhaps more reason
able report that is going the political
rounds is that Mr.. Hangar wants to be
city treasurer. 1t will be remembered
that a short time ago some complaints
were made about the way City Treas
urer gMoulton was handling the city
money. This, it is said, was the first
gun that Haugan's friends fired. The
idea OF some is to make Haugan city
treasurer if possible, thereby transfer
ring the city funds to the Scandal bank.
gan great deal more than the empty
honor of mayor, and Mr.. Moulton's
friends are already at work to beat this
little game if possible.
Uncle Parry, Of the Seventh ward. is
very much put out because he was not
delegated to 90 to st. Paul to defeat
Merriam. He thinks now that his
chances of going to the legislature are
not as good as he supposed they were.
He is much annoyed over the report
that Aid. Sam Hunter is mentioned for
the legislature. and is likely to get the
nomination, if he wants it. Parry
threatens to leave the council unless
his services are better appreciated by
his constituents. He says the only
thing that is keeping him there now is
the fact that he is chairman of the com;
mittee on Bethany home, and feels that
the home would be neglected if he quit
now.
