-Rosing Not in the Third Dis
trfct Race-JuIius Heinrich May
Scalp Albert Berg.
CONGRESSMAN Eddy may be the most
popular man in the Seventh district
and something of a sensation as
candidate for office, but lie is going TO
hive a race on his hands this fall that
will keep him busy. He has already
been renominated, and the convention
that named him tossed him variety
of bouquets that would have Smothered
q more modest man. but did not bother
MIR. Eddy in the least and he has made
m his mind that it Will not be neceS-
sarv to come back from Washington
10 make the running. Wherein he is
in error for he is going to be made to
come back home and take to a new
pace.
Senator p. NJ Ringdal, of Crook
ston. a fighter who knows every foot
of the Seventh and almost every man
in il. will undoubtedly be the Demo-
cratic nominee, and will be Endorsed
by the Populists and the free silver
Republicans. He will beat Eddy as
sure as he is nominated, for up in that
part of the state they swear by Ring
Gal He has had plenty of legislative
experience and is a good talker The
convention that will probably nom
mate Senator Ringdal has not yet been
called and will not be held until late
in the summer. The senator has not
announced his candidacy, but his
friends say he will run, and there IS
no one else mentioned for the nomina-
ten.
There has been some talk down In
the Third district of making l.. A.
Rosing the nominee for congress, but
il may be stated with a good deal of
assurance that he does not want the
nomination and is not being exploited
of his own Volition. Mr.. Rosing wants
10 make the campaign that will land
John Lind in the governors chair, and
he could not very well do it if he had
an affair of his own on his hands He
will be the chairman of the state COM
mittee and there is no chance of his
taking the Third district nomination.
This is likely to so to OConnor, of
Renville.
Mr.. O'Connor is very we'll known
throughout the district and has been
prominent in the councils of the party
there for many years. He will be urged
on the convention by the entire west
ern half of the district, and will proba-
bly, accept.
The suggestion that has been made
that possibly the Democratic headquar-
tiers would be located in Minneapolis
this fall is not going beyond its present
stage, apparently. The state commit
tee is not enamored of Alex Stewart to
any great extent and the members are
not going to locate headquarters in
Minneapolis where Mr.. Stewart may
drop in at any time and start some
thing. When Mr.. Stewart started the
fight on Judge Mitchell in the conven-
ton and was defeated on his PROPOSE
ton, ii was thought possibly he would
not accept the place on the committee
and be forced TO support the judge. 1t
is now apparent that Mr.. Stewart does
not contemplate doing anything Of the
kind He will stay on the committee
and the committee Will give him a wide
berth.
Julius ]. Heinrich is going in to beat
Albert Berg for secretary of state, and
ifthere is a man in the state who can
do It, Heinrich is that man. 1t is ap-
preciated that he has a hard man to
beat Berg has shaken hands with ev-
cry voter in the state in the course OF
the last four years. He spends all-his
time going about getting acquainted
and he never lets up on his campaign.
The day after he was elected two years
ago he went out to make the cam
paign for this year. Then he has that
enormous backing, the Swedish vote,
that is so hard to dislodge. Mr. Helm
rich may be able to separate Berg from
some of that vote in Minneapolis. He
is of German extraction, but is thor
oughly well known in Hennepin and in
many other parts of the state. In 1890,
when he ran for register of deeds in
Hennepin, he beat a Swedish opponent
by something like $500 votes. A Ger
man who can do that can pretty near
reach Berg in some of his strongholds.
Mr.. Heinrich's business connections are
very extensive and of a nature TO put
him in touch with some powerful in
huences. and this fact will be of more
material assistance to him this year
than could possibly be two years ago.
He will have very thorough organiza-
ton and Berg can make up his mind
that he has got a fight on his hands
this fall. If Clough is at the head of
the Republican ticket, then Mr.. Berg
Will have run for his life.
Will Donnelly accept the Inevitable
and remain undisturbed in the political
grave that he dug for himself? The
question is interesting to people who
continue to appreciate the good things
of political life and who admire the
acrobatics of the sage. 1t is hardly
fair to presume that he will try to make
mated the other day, for that would
make good the broadly asserted init
nation that he is in sympathy with
the Republicans. If he should try to
run his ticket through 1t will not make
any material difference to the fusion
lists, for the midroaders who are with
him would not vote for anybody but a
Populist under any circumstances.
Moreover if he makes too much of a
demonstration Mr. Owens NAV go fur
Their than he did in the convention and
finish Donnelly up. 1t is said that he
has the Wherewith to make the sage
to quit whenever 1t shall be deemed
necessary.
6. NJ. Owen gays that he will not
have anything further to do with DON
nelly, except that he will insist that
he stay out of the party, now that he
has been put out
A st. Paul Populist, who Is not par
ticularly a friend of Donnelly's was
inclined to be sore over the way Owen
and his friends had treated the sage
They can say what they like of Don
nelly" he said, land the chances are
that whatever they say will be about
true of him, but there is this to be
said: Donnelly never went after de-
feated man the way Owen went after
him. When Donneily attacks any ono
ii is while that some one is at the tor
of the heap. He never kicked the un-
der dog in his life, ard have an idea
that Owen made friends for Donnelly
by driving him into the earth after he
had him down."
The Republicans of this town. and
of the state generally for the matter
of that, would like to have a sure thine
on what David Marston Clough is go
