WHAT DOES PLLsBURY PLANs

Some of the friends of Justice Thomas
Canty, of the supreme bench are bring
ing him to the fore as a candidate for
governor on he Democratic ticket 1t
is urged by them that the youngest
member of the state supreme bench has
shown himself not only a jurist of abll-
ity, but a man of broad sympathies and
intelligent observation, all of which
qualities it is believed, he could avail
himself we'll Of in the gubernatorial
chair. Some Of the more radical men
in the ranks of those forces who play
ed such a part in the original elevation
of the young justice to public station
maintain that he can serve his nation
better on the bench, protecting the
common people against the aggressions
of corporate power, and it is possible
that the suggestion Of the Minneapolis
Justices name for the place is without
his acquiescence, but it is worthy of
notice that the copI3ent aroused in the
rural press by H@@Sbringing out has
been generally very favorable.
There was more than a little COM
motion among the hungry politicians
and especially those who are residents
of Minneapolis, when 1t became noised
about Friday that the Alexandria solon
was coming to the Mill City for
nights stay en- route to Washington. A
number of the faithful who have been
patiently waiting for the distribution
of mama ran into the frequented
haunts Of the Hennepin county metrop-
oils to meet the senator from the north,
but, so far as can be learned, the only
one who had an AUDIENCE that really
amounted to anything was Senator
John Peterson, of st. Peter, who wants
the collectorship. While the Nicollet
county man has not as yet secured the
coveted plum, there is reason to be-
lieve that he has assurances from the
junior senator that the latter's infiu-
ence will be thrown in his favor, which
assurance is, of course, encouraging.
Speculation as to Charles A. Pills
bury's possible political aspirations is
rife again since the big Minneapolis
miller has resigned the general man
agership Of the English syndicate,
without any reduction of salary, to be-
come managing director and entail the
detail of the concern on a younger man.
Many suspect that the change was
made not so much to accommodate the
milling company to the possible ulti-
mate separation from it of the man
who has always been its presiding
genius as to leave the popular Mime
apolitan with hands free to engage in
such side lines" so to speak, as his
fancy might direct, not inconsistent, of
course, with the dignity of his posi-
ton.
The senate at Washington is general
ly considered to be the one place in
the gift Of Minnesota which the mil
lionaire miller would accept, and many
who are close to him believe that in
the event Of anything like a serious
contest for the toga in the next legis-
lature, the Pillsbury boom will be found
to have assumed proportions to make
1t the most formidable of adversaries.
A friend Of Senator Nelson says that
there is an understanding between
Senators Nelson and Davis that none
of the appointments will be considered
until they can take up the whole bunch
and dispose of them at one time. The
senators have been at variance upon
this subject for long time past, and
1t became evident to both of them
that there was only one way out of the
tangle, and that was by mutual con-
cession. Some one had to give way, or
the deadlock might go on indefinitely
and such state OF aIIalrS was not con-
sidered desirable either for themselves
or to the party. Consequently the
compromise course was brought about
by mutual friends, and it is probable
that an agreement will be reached
within a short time.
The probable appointee to the posi-
ton of district attorney will be AS
sistant Attorney General Edgerton, Of
ST. Paul, Notwithstanding the fact that
HaIvon Stevenson has already an
nounced that it had been promised to
him. One thing would seem certain at
least, and that is that Stevenson
should expect very little support from
Senator Davis. 1t is not so long ago
that Mr. Davis was fighting for the
Endorsement for the state for the presi-
dency, and one Of the first and most
bitter convention fights in the state
