ing strength. Yesterday the word
was received that +. L. Young.
state senator elect, was anxious to sue
ceed Mr. WaShburn. Further than that
came the information that he has been
adr0ltly working throughout his dis
trict, making himself solid for the
place, and that so quietly has the
scheme been worked that il has already
assumed really formidable proportions.
Every effort has been made 10 keep the
story out of the daily papers. and so far
the effort has been successful. A St.
Paul man was at MOntevdeo the other
day, and he states that sentiment at
Appleton, where Mr.. Young resides. as
well as all throut h the district,
Is strongly in favor of Mr.. Young.
Inc ldea has been, apparently, that
Ill case Mr.. YOung's senatorial aspira-
tons were mentioned by the papers his
boom might ''dic a-Uornln'." In fact
lis supporters give it out cold that as
soon as the daily papers succeed in
wearing other mems senatorial booms
into threadbare tatters that the Inren-
ton was to suddenly spring Mr.. Young's
name at the oDportune time, in hopes
that he Will go Ill with a whoOp. Such
Is the story.
