The Winona Republican has made
the official announcement of Capt.
Sam Van SAINTS gubernatorial can
didacy, and it would seem to a man
cup a stump that the genial Captain
had decidedly the best of the bar
gain at the pre- sent stage of the game,
but as election is quite Always in adj
vance it is hard to tell what wonder
full changes might be wrought. He
will undoubtedly get the First dis
trict solid, with the best chances for
the Second, and then with the Fifth
and a majority of the Sixth and Sew
enth he will have a strong lead Of
any opposition. While the Captain
may not be the choice of the people
of the state as a whole, yet there is
no doubt but that he is the prefer
ence over any other one that has yet
been named from the southern part
of the state. Hence it looks now as
though Van SAINT would be the man
unless the southern part of the state
succeed in springing a more popular

The following is the Dispatch's
comment on the attorney generalship
and is quite significant as to the es-
TEEN Judge Brown is held in through
out the Seventh district:
W. B. Douglas, it is said, has an
nounced to number of his friends
in the Seventh district, that he will
be candidate for the attorney gen
eralship next year. His announce
ment is not taken seriously by the
mainstays of the party in his own
section of the state, who seem to be
unanimously of the opinion that if
the attorney general should again be
chosen from the Seventh district. it
should go to G. G. Haupt, Of Fergus
Falls. Haupt is not only one of the
best attorneys in the northern part of
the state, but has been one of the
hardest Republican workers in the
whole state for many years. Not
only Seventh district Republicans,
but leaders from the Sixth district as
well, have said lately that nothing
would give them more pleasure than
to support Mr. Haupt for the attor-
ney generalship. Mr.. Haupt has not
announced himself as a candidate yet,
and he may not come out at all. He,
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1897-12-29

in common with other Republicans OF
the Seventh district, is a friend of
Judge Brown of Morris, and wants to
see the district present a solid front
in favor of Judge Browns elevation
to the supreme bench. If Mr.. Haupt
should stand aside fol Judge Brown,
it would not be the first time he has
done the same thing for friend, but
there is as yet no indication that he
will be called upon to do anything of
the kind.

/ COuSIuSIdUl6 SPdCOlu UAO OAOOhoANS
/ columns of the Minneapolis Tribuneis
being given up to the discussion Of
ever welcome question of the price OF
wheat. That enterprising newspaper
first came out with first page arti-
Gle declaring that corner was to be
affected in Minneapolis, and that
Messrs. Pillsbury and Peavy were at
the bottom of it all. Then people
thought that the Tribune had been
too bold in it's declarations, but the
Tribune pushed the matter through
with the result that their enterpris-
ing reporters got themselves next to
conclusive proofs that wheat deals
were being pushed along which look
ed to the attainment of the exact re-
suits thata corner would have, name
ly to raise the price of wheat. In
this same line correspondent of the
Morris TRIBUNE cast his efforts to get
to the bottom of the story. The re-
suits of number of interviews that
he has had for this paper have
brought him to the personal conclu-
sion that wheat will sell for an
amount ranging between 81 and $1.5O
before the seeders are going again.
Our correspondent would make this
as a prediction if we would permit
him to take any such risks; we re-
strict him to submitting few state
ments of the existing circumstances
that he thinks will bring about this
most desirable of results. Here are
some of the points of his arguments:
The wheat men of the Northwest
need at least 100000 bushels of
wheat more than is at the present
time in their territory. By the North
west is meant, of course, Minnesota,
the Dakotas and Superior in Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Pillsbury has number of
mills revuiring many million bushels
per year to keep them running; Mr..
Peavy has a number of elevators that
are now nearly empty Che has on
hand about 100000 bushels and he
needs five times that amount. in
brief, these men around the Mime
apolis chamber of commerce are very
much afraid that the desired number
OF bushels cannot possibly be obtain
ed; the pressure will even be so
great that many wheat man will be
in as tightly as if he were
under the pressure of wheat corner.
With the price of wheat between ST.
and S1.5O and the marked boom on
land that seems to be much in evil
dence, what haven, Cor in other
words, what Klondyke) will we not
be living in! So mote it be.
