.LIND,S GUBERNATORIAL BOOM.
It is Given Vigorous Start Both in
Minnesota and Washington.
He is Regarded by Many as the Strongest
Candidate that could be
Put Forward.

OnleSS SOmeLnlnS unexpected turns
up, John Lind will have 3 remarkably
strong following in the Republican con-
vention that selects the next candidate
for governor. Prominent political lead
ers in Minneapolis and throughout the
whole state, who believe in the nomi.
nation Of a thorough Republican, are
urging his name with considerable en-
thusiasm and many are strong in the
conviction that he is the strongest man
in the race. A Washington dispatch Of
recent date in considering the matter
says: There are indications of spir-
tied struggle between the adherepts of
Lind and Nelson in Minnesota. It has
been one of the leading topics with Wis
itors from that state. Mr.. Lind is not
candidate for governor IN the sense of
seeking the nomination but is willing to
go upon the ticket if q majority of the
party favor him. His friends say that
Nelson's canvass is waning. Judging
from the enthusiasm of Lind's advo-
Gates there can be little doubt of his
ability to carry the state.''
The Pioneer Press also gave his
cause lift on Wednesday when it
said: There were quite number of
Republican politicians from various por-
tions of the state at the Merchants yes
terday, mingling with the Democrats
attending the state meeting. They ap-
parently met by chance, but from the
lobbying that went on in the corridors
all the afternoon, it appeared that some.
thing of more than usual Importance
was in the wind, The main topic Of
conversation and discussion was the
gubernatorial seat, and from the senti-
ment expressed John Lind appeared te
be the favorite. At any rate it seemed
to be the. intention to begin Lind boon
and work it for all there is in it.
Otto Klose, evidently a German by
birth, IN a letter to tile St. James Jour
nal ON the subject of sugar beets ane
beet factories, says that in his younger
days he had considerable work in and
around such factories, and also raisec
many thousand tons of beets. He add:
the following information, which If cor
rect, seems to be more in accordance
with the wants and demands of thi:
country than what has heretofore beer
proposed There is no more trouble ir
raising a good crop Of sugar beets thar
there is in raising crop Of sorghum
An average yield of fifteen tons to the
acre can easily be raised here, 10 to /:
per cent of which will be sugar. A
81 per ton, very low price, the return
per acre would be $50, The value OF
the sugar product, at cents per pounc
would be 1920. Is there any orhe1
product which will return the farmer
half that money? We do not need cost
ly buildings for factory. | know OF
several sugar factories in the old coun
try which were built for from $4,000 t.
$4,000, and one which cost but $1,000.

John Lind played quite a role in th
House on Friday. By skilfully ques
