POLITICAL NOTES OF INTEREST.
There are two precincts in Redwood
county in which the political situation,
from the Republican standpoint, is
badly mixed. The two precincts are
Kintire and the first ward of the city
of Redwood Falls. In Kintire the
mixed situation is brought about
through the town being fighting
ground for most everybody. It is q
town in which both Sheriff Pease and
County Treasurer Lankard claimed q
residence before they came to Red
wood Falls. It adjoins Delhi, where
Auditor Anderson came from-and
the two towns at present hold the
three best Offices in the gift of the
county. Sheriff Pease and Treasurer
Lankard have always bucked each
other in the town, and four years ago
the sheriff lost q hat wagering that
Lankard would not be nominated, aft
or beating him out of the Kintire del
egation. This year the sheriff sees
grave political troubles ahead by hay
ing so many candidates from one pre-
cinct, and it is possible that he will
throw the delegation, if he can, against
Lankard, for his own protection. He
has no time for Alexander, because
Alexander was for Lankard four years
ago, and if the sheriff dictates his del
egates from that town, Mr. Tenney
may have q slice out of the list. The
sheriff's right hand man in the town
is j. M. Thompson, who has no time
for either Alexander or Lankard, and
will work for Pease first, to defeat the
other two. second. A. o. Gimmestad, q
pretty good political worker in that
town, is. for Lankard third term,
while the farming community of the
township offers many friends to Mr.,
Alexander. In addition to the above
complications, if Sheriff Pease names
the delegates from the township, W.
S. Mckay will have five votes from
that town for auditor.
The first ward of the city of Red
wood Falls has candidate for auditor,
W. S. McKsy-two candidates for
treasurer, j. r. Lankard, the present
incumbent, and w. P. Tenney-two
candidates for Judge of Probate, W.
B. King and A. B. Truesdell, the par
ty candidate for superintendent of
schools, S. j. Race, who will have no
opposition-s probable candidate for
court commissioner and for coroner.
In this long line of candidates the peo-
pie of that ward have a right to ex-
pect warm fight. About every fac
ton will be called in for service, and
there will probably be more than two
tickets in the field. The fight will
probably center on auditor and on
treasurer. w. S. Mckay will likely
claim the right to the seven delegates
from that ward for auditor, although
G. V. Everett has friends residing
there. who will oppose Mr.. Mckay
The first ward is where Mr.. Tenney
has resided for 30 years, and he nat
urally feels that the ward should give
him seven solid delegates, for him and
for him alone. Lankard claims Ger.
tain strength in the ward in which he
will fight Tenney. Both Mr.. King
and Mr.. Truesdell have their friends
there, also, all tending to mix mat
ters more than ever. There is an op
portunity for some of the smoothes
political work of the year right in tina
ward on or before the night Of the pri
maries.
The second ward has q candidate
for auditor, G. V. Everett, and twt
Probate Judge candidates E. Har
riott and George L. Evans. Sheriff
Pease and his jailor, Ben. Robidou
live in the ward, and are likely to pu
up q fight for delegation of their owl
selection. If this is done fight o
