The republican politicians of Nicollet
county have ever made a mistake when
they failed to take Charlie Davis into
their reckonings. Davis is man with
a strong personal following and whether
egets straight party nomination or not
is always able to make whole lot of
trouble. The Journal has been interview
ing HIM as to what he Intends to do this
year and here is what he says: Candidly,
| would like the straight out and out re-
publican nomination for the senate, and,
without wishing to appear conceited,
think I am the logical candidate; that I
would make better run than either Mr.,
,Moll or Prof. Carlson. I believe John
A. Johnson will be the democratic nom
inee and he would give either of them a
hard race.'
When asked if he would run indepen-
dent in case someone else was nominat-
ed, he said: "That's something can't
sa;. You may be sure though that
don't propose to be ignored by the par
tY. In case I am, there may be some
fun this fall.''
Davis thinks that $50 out of every
thousand republicans in the county are
in favor of Senator Nelson's reelection.
He doesn't look upon Cushman Z. Day-
is as being quite so popular.
