county in the state that some OF
Clough's appointees or would'bc
appointees do not claim for HIM.
Todd county, they surmise, will be
for Lee, and Winona may give

amusing part of it is, that the

that Clapp will get some delegates
they ought to have. County after

WANTS A NEW DEAL.

Elk River Star News: tx.
Attorney General Clapp who has
announced his candidacy tor
governor on the Republican ticket,
is one of those magnetic men who
win many friends among thought
less people and consequently his
candidacy is not to be treated with
levity. In our opinion there are
better men in the field than Mr..
Clapp, but that DOM latter the fact
that he is a strong candidate and
will cut considerable of a figure as
a candidate. He denies that his
candidacy is in the interests OF
Gov. Clough or any other man,
but neverth eless the Clough people
are backing him wherever there IS
no show for their man, and it may
we'll be taken for granted that ne
will receive whatever Clough
backing that can be turned over
to him providing there is no show
for Clough. The fact that Mr..
Clapp is in the field at all is a
symptom Of weakness on the part
of the governors following. and
the fight against the governor may
we'll be directed against Clapp, as
his success would mean the con-
tinuatlon of the old machine and
perpetuation of the ring that has
pare elled out all the prominent
official positions in Minnesota for
the ensuing ten years. These
people are all fghing VIM. f. Lee
more bitterly than any other
candidate, and it is safe to say that
