MANY RICHMoNDs IN THE FIELD
Candidates for Congress cropping out in
Every District.
Belief Among Republicans that with Wise
Selections they can Sweep

the State.
In this, the second district, matters
are slowly coming to focus in regard
to the congressional nomination and sew
eral candidates are in the field, Prof.
McCleary of Mankato is out in letter
asking tor support and no one has any
doubts as regards Senator Davis. Ives
is supposed to be in doubt as to wheth-
er he should strike for the governor
ship or Second distri ct nomination but
it is thought he will finally decide on
the latter. Turrell is in the field and II.
j. Miller of Luverne and F. A. Day are
looked upon as dark horses. On the
Democratic side, Speaker Champlin of
| Blue Earth county has already an
nounced himself and with the Alliance
Baker is still supposed to be in IA
vor.
The other districts are reviewed by
the political reporter of Pioneer Press
as follows: That the Democrats will
renominate Congressman Harries in the
First district appears to be an accepted
fact, and his most probable opponent on
the Republican tickez will be Senator
James A. Tawney of Winona, In case
that young Repu ublican leader does not
care to make the canyass, however,
there is plenty available timber, and
the friends of Nathan Kingsley and La
faYette French Of Austin, Hon. Allen +.
Greer of Lake City and Judge Farmer
of Spring Valley, are all urged by their
respective friends. To Pioneer Press
man, however, Judge Farmer recently
confded the fact that new candidate
has just entered the lists, Threatening to
materially modify the campaign in this
district. The new aspirant, who is
Hon. J. j. Furlong of Austin, will
doubtless receive the solid support of
the Alliance men, and if nominated,
will create great havoc in the Democra.
tic ranks. He would either compel a
a Democratic endorsement or render
Capt. Harrles' election impossible, and
his course would be watched with inter-
est.
In the third district situation much
interest is taken. Gen. S. P. Jennison
of BED Wing and Maj. Fl. B. Strait of
| Sho ho1-a hmm t0 n
candidates by their friends, but both
have declined. Capt. A. H. Reed of
Glencoe has been N mentioned, but there
is general impression that the party
will select..a Goodhue county man to
succeed o. M. Hall, who will be renom-
mated by the Democrats. Ex-Gov,
Hubbard and Hon. f. w. Hoyt of Red
Wing are mentioned as probable Good.
hue county nominees.
AS to the Fourth, Ramsey county has
not yet done much in the way of select
ing winning candidates. Republican
nominee-but there has been a good
deal of quiet work done, credited to no
one in particular, throughout the coun-
ties of Kenebec, Isanti and Pine, on be-
| half of Hon. Albert Schetfer. Fred g..
| Ingersoll has been frequently spoken of
by some of the Younger element as a
| possibility, and Hiram F. Stevens has
also been mentioned us q probable and
popular candidate for the position.
There is some opposition to Congress
man Castle already, but it remains to
be seen what he can do for st. Paul's
public building, and the St. Paul Dem.
ocrats, or at least some of them, are
already setting up the pins for Mayor
Smith. The district, however, gave
Harrison 700 plurality four years ago,
and is now considered safely Republi-
can.
Loren Fletcher is said TO be slated by
Hennepin county Republicans as the
nominee of that party for the new Fifth
district congressman, but among other
names mentioned are those of John
Day Smith, Judge j. P. Rea and III. F.
Brown. It is understood, however,
that the last named gentlemen will de.
cline to be candidates for the nomina-
ton in case s'Your Uncle Loren wants
it. The opposition is not known to
have selected any candidate, but W, H.
Lynn, who was popular member of
the last house, is spoken of as a posi-.
BILE congressman.
In the Sixth district no man has been
more prominently mentioned by the
Republicans than Judge D. b. Searle
of ST. Cloud, and although pot pre-
nounced candidate, Senator Buckman,
