of Clough.

There will be a sort of opening gun
fired next month which is expected
to cause a loud defamation II the vlc1n-
ity Of a number of gubernatorial can
didates. A meeting Of the Sixth dis
trict editors is called to meet at Walk
err, Cass county, Sept. 1, in order to
enjoy the sumptuous hospitality of the
new hotel which is in course of erec-
ton at the much advertised future

Incidentally, of course, they will be
the guests on the way up of T. B.
Walkers logging railroad, but of
course this will not have any effect on
their deliberations. Mr.. Walker is a
close friend of the present administra-
ton, and while ne has been kept so
busy during recent years that he has
been unable to mingle with public mat
tiers, save as a member of the Mime
apolis library board, or perhaps as d
presidential elector, things are now so
shaping themselves that Mr.. Walker
is able to manifest some little political
activity. He is especially interested in
the welfare of the central northern
part Of the state. or, to describe it
more definitely, the northwestern por
ton of the Sixth congressional district,
and if he could perfect scheme by
which the upper Mississippi river in
tereSts could get, out from under the
domination of the mining moneys, he
would be pleased indeed. Duluth has

show, the lumbermen think, to pull
things around their way. The county
organization bill stirred up a great
deal of animosity in some sections last
winter, and when the editors of the
Sixth gather around that regal lunch
con, they will counsel as to what they
may do to secure favorable considera-
ton for the Itasca logging region.
incidentally it might be remarked
that, for fear there should be some
suspicion that this end could best be
subserved by the election of Dave
Clough to congress, where he could in
directly, at least, be of advantage to
the lumber interests with which he
has so long been associated, Loren
