OUT OF POLITICS ALTOGETHER.
Such is the Substance Of a Washington
Dispatch Regarding Mr.. Lind.
The Present Representative does not Even
Want the Governorship

The Present Representative does not Even
Want the Governorship
Dissatisfied With the Treatment Given his
section Of the state by the
Administration.
A Washington special TO the Pioneer
Press Of Sunday has the' following re-
garding Mr., Lind's determination to
withdraw from politics ard his COM
plants against the treatment given by
the administration to the section which
he represents in the matter Of fed
eral Office holding:
Representative Lind of Minnesota
has declared several times, and with
such emphasis that there car be no mis-
taking his intentions, that be will not
be candidate for reelection in the
Second district. This district viii lose
a valuable member. and Minnesota
congressman who has been very watch
full OF her interest. 4 great many Re
publicans Of the state hoped Mr.. Lind
would reconsider his determination,
and before the next convention meets
would conclude to again take the nomi-
nation, which is of course, equivalentt to
an election, but in conference with the
Pioneer Press correspondent the other
day he reasserted his determination to
stay out, and positively declined to al
low his name to be used before the
convention.
Since this determination there has
been more or less talk of making him
the Republican uominee for governor
next fall; but in this connection he is as
fully determined as in the matter of the
congressional nomination, and would
not be candidate fo- governor under
any circumstances. He says that
should he prefer to remain In politics
in the active sense. such as holding Of
foe. tho house of representatives would
suit him better than any other position.
1t is evident from what he said that
Mr.. Lind does not like tho w.Y matters
have run in this administration regard
federal ofdcs-holding in Minnesota, and
that he feels as if his part of the state
had been ignored BY tho present admin.
lstratioR. He talked somewhat of the
political oentralizing in and around st.
Paul and Minneapolis, and especially
the latter city. A great many people
OF the West, and especially in the
present administration. seem to think
that small knot of politicians in
Minneapolis is the Republican party OF
Minnesota. He Is not prepared to b
of that opinion, and thinks that other
sections of the state are as truly Re-
publican and entitled to as much con-.
sideration AS that city. which has So.
cured SO many of the important appoint-
ments given to Minnesota.
Not only is his complain: on account
of federal appointments resident in
MINNESOTA, put In those appointments
of honor and profit which were given
to citizens of Minneapolis where the
duties carried them to Washington or
to other places remote from their resi-
dence at the time of their appointment.
He will continue to take an active in
terest in politics, and he says lie will
probably take hand in affairs relating
20 the Republican party, but he is not
looking for his own advancement, being
satisfied, he says, to see others share
the responsibility OF office-holding. He
will devote his time almost exclusively.
to the practice of his profession, and
says that Minnesota affords him a yery
satisfactory home, and one which he
prefers to any other part of the coun-
try.
