MEN WE MEET.

The small majority by which Congressman
Lind was reelected two years ago in the Sec
oud congressional district was surprise to
the Republican politicians of that section
and served to prevent q whole host of men
leaping into the field when the brown county
statesman announced that he would not be
candidate for another nomination. Of late
however, the reports in the Republican pa
pers concerning the status of the Alliance
movement in Southern Minnesota have
stirred up the boys and, without investigat-
ing the situation, they are rushing pell-mell
into the breach. Among he candidates for
the congressional nomination up to the pres
ent time are: Senator F. A. Day, of Martin
county; Senator C. r. Davis of Nicollet;
Representative o. B. Turrell, of Redwood;
LieutGov Ives. of Nicollet. and Prof j. t.
McClaary. of Blue Earth. The latter is a new
but formidable entry. For a number of wears
he has been member of the faculty OF the
Man kato normal school aswell as an institute
conductor. Several years ago he brought out
a work OH civics which has been a success.
Several weeks ago the genial professor an
nounced his candidacy. At first the poll
ticians were inclined to sneer at his candi-
dacy. but now they are beginning to fear
him, according to the latest reports from the
seat of war.
j
JIG F wler, of Mankato, who for many years
held the position OF register of deeds of Blue
Earth county, was the city yesterday. and
was discussing the Second district situation
from Republican standpoint. In his opin-
ion Lieut.. Gov. Ives can have the nomination
if he decides that he wants it. OF this there
seems to be considerable doubt, as Mr. Ives is
generally supposed to have his eye on the
gubernatorial nomination this year.
How does Prof. McCleary's candidacy
strike the Second district Mr.. Fowler?n
81 should not be surprised to see him get
the nomination" was the response. He has
a very large acquaintance through the dis
trict, and is really an able man, He is q
worker, and in-case of heated contest might
easily win. He has no enemies, and all the
other candidates could come to him. l think
he will get the delegation from Blue Earth
if he wants it."
