The st. James Journal announces
the candidacy Of Hon. D. G. Hopkins
for Attorney General. It is quite
likely, however, that General Childs
will be renominated. The Journal
says: n
1T is fact that D. G. Hopkins, of
Madelia, is an active candidate for the
nomination Of Attorney General on
the republican ticket. Mr.. Hopkins
will have the united support of
Watonwan county, and we believe
of Southern Minnesota in his can
didacy. He has every qualification
necessary to fill the Office acceptably
to the people of, the state-a good
constitutional lawyer. a brilliant adj
vocate, a ripe scholar, thorough
gentleman-he would make model
officer. He has an extensive acquain-
lance throughout the state, and has
hundreds of friends who will do their
utmost to assist him in his laudable
ambition"

Representative D. Shell was at Du-
luth last week, and the Evening Her
aid of that city says:
Hon. James Boggs last night was
entertaining his friend, Mayor Shell,
of Worthington, who sat in the house
with Mr.. Boggs and whom he des-
cribes as the best natured legislator
of the session. The conversation
turned upon Congressman Tawney
and the two lawmakers compared
notes over the hard work done by Mr..
Tawney when senator in getting the
bill ordering all street cars to be yes
tibuled through the legislature. II
heard today" said Mr.. Boggs ''that
the street car men were seriously
thinking of presenting slight testi-
monal to Tawney, in greatful recog-
milton of his effort in their behalf, which
would be very appropriate
thing for them to do"
"Speaking of Tawney" said Doctor
Barrett, who was also present, II re-
gard him as the best friend that Du-
luth has in the Minnesota congress-
ional delegation and I should like to
see mass meeting of citizens pass a
resolution asking him to consider
himself the special representative of
St Louis county at Washington, and
while we were at it we might as we'll
include Professor McCleary as we'll"

Heron Lake News Carl Eastwood,
of the Worthington ADVANCE, thus
ruthlessly filings Editor Huntington,
of the Window Reporter, into the
political cauldron: ".~. d..
s'The ADVANCE would like to see
E. G. Huntington, the talented and
loyal editor of the Window Reporter
receive the nomination for secretary
of state. If there is a man in the
state better qualified for the position
let his name be mentioned we don't
know who he is"
Bro. Huntington is certainly de-
serving and qualified for the position
suggested, and if this part of the
state is accorded place on the state
ticket, the News hopes to see the
Window editors name occupying it
If the newspaper fraternity desire tc
put one Of the boys into the state
house, the thing can easily be accom-
plished if concerted action is taker
and all fire at the same mark. But
if the shot is scattered all over the
state it will avail nothing. We
second the nomination of Bro. Hunt
ington for secretary of state, and are
willing to go into the fight to win.

The following good story on a
western congressman-probably Bald
win of this state-is waited from
Washington:
Judge sLambert Tree was talking
the other day with western demo
cratic congressman who has become
imbued with the currency notions
prevalent in that section. The Judge,
who is staunch hard-money demo
crat, quickly discovered that the
statesman was without any strong
convictions of his own on the subject.
II don't know" said the legislator,
"but the free coinage of silver would
hurt us in the end. I am not sure
about it.
