Henry Feig, the rotund statesman
from KandiyohI county, was In ST.
Paul yesterday, having come up to
listen to the proceedings in the trial
of Congressman Stevens. Yesterday
afternoon Mr. Feig sat in the Claren-
don hotel and unused at the rain which
was coming down in torrents outside.
The hotel was quiet 1t was a strong
contrast to the picture which one might
have seen early in the winter when the
Kandiyohi representative started out
after supper along with Hon. e. S.
Hail. the Minden farmer whom Goa les
tried to unseat, Representative Foss,
with his SLOUGH hat and drOmedary
gait, Joseph Bayer, the genial, rosy
faced ergeant-at-armS, and a few
senators, for an evening session of the
legislature. Mr. Feig was not think
ing about politics, or if he was. he had
not much to say He has heard that
Ed Weaver, the Mankato implement
man. has been mentioned for governor,
and believes that the Second district
will make strong bid for the office of
chief executive. He sees even at taic
early date that there may be complex
tiles of the situation, however
Gideon Ives and Sam Van SAINT may
both be out for the event, and besides
if j. H. Block, of st. Peter, makes a
fight for the treasurership, that may
hurt Weaver, both coming from the
Second.
On the other hand Mr.. Feig doubts
not, although he has not been so adj
vised, that Mr.. Koerner will wish to be
state treasurer again. This, by the
same token, will have a tendency to aid
Mr. WeaVer's chances. The Second
district has not now any state officer
Mr. Weaver is, Mr.. Feig thinks we'll
known in the district as well as in
Ramsey and Hennepin counties. Mr..
Feig further dryly admits that between
now and nomination time there may
be many new conditions which will
materially alter the present outlook for
Mr.. Weaver.
r. c. Won Lehe. represent ative from
the Nineteenth legislative dictrict in
the last house, came up to st. Paul
yesterday morning from lie Sueur to
attend the convention Of the Farmers
Mutual Fire Insurance company,
state organization. Half a hundred
delegates from the various township
fire insurance companies gathered to-
gether and spent the morning discuss
ing matters of interest to these COM
Danies and interchanging ideas on the
best methods of managing the business.
Mr. Won Lehe says the recent cold
weather. while it has not been espe-
cially beneficial to the crops, has not
harmed the wheat and small grains
very much, but has put the corn about
two weeks behind. The farmers in his
section are not discouraged but still
look for a corn crop with anything Ike
warm weather from this time on. Mr..
Won Lehe, who is q guest at the Met
ropolitan, will return home this even
