The present week promises to be a
very lively one in state politi cs. Three
congressional conventions will be held
on Tuesday and Wednesday and step
taken toward the opening Of the cam
paign all along the line. After this
week bu: the two conventions, Repu b.
lican and Democratic, in the Third dis
trict remain to be held and concerning
the result Of these there is little doubt.
Congressman Hall willhave the honor
of a nomination by acclama.ion In al
probability at the hands Of the Third
district Democracy, while it now see ms
likely that Joel P. Heatwole will be
given the Republican nomination at the
end of hard fight In the convention.

that the fact that he has been obliged to
make hard and bitter fight to secure the
nomination ought not to weigh against
him; because, fOrsooth. his opponent
may have opposition. In this. however,
there is absolutely nothing, for the
simple reason that Congressman Hall
has not filled the columns Of the u emo
cratic papers with denunciations of the
leading men Of his party who have been

The Field Open to All.
Congressman Hall also realizes that
this is free country. and any good
Democrat has right to become can
didate for the nomination against him.
Mr.. Heatwole again started out on
different basis and has denied this right
to his fellow Republicans. and backed
up the malign campaigns that have
been made against Capt. Reed, Frank
Wilson, Sheriff Anderson. ex-Gov.
Hubbard, Gen. Jennison, ex-Congress-
man u. s. Hall and. in short, every man
who has been mentioned as a possible
candidate.
The first of the congressional con-
ventions booked for this week will be
held at st. Cloud on Tuesday. The
result has been settled in advance by
tae people, the Democratic conventions
in every county in the district having
instructed their representatives to

when there Is no contest for nomlna-
ton a congressional convention is a
very tame affair, but this is not to be
the case at st. Cloud. A large attend

present, as we'll as the little giant from

Wednesday two conventions will be
held, the First district Democrats meet

there is little doubt that the choice of
