York life building.
There is an impression among a
number Of people in st. Paul that
Dennis Sullivan. the former county
auditor. will be the next United States
marshal for this district. In the SEN
atorial fight Of six years ago Mr.. Sui
Ivan. whose election it has been said
cost him $4,000 at least, worked and
voted for Senator Davis. If Mr.. Sui
Ivan had not broken into the legis-
lature Senator Davis might have been
defeated. as the contest was decided
by one vote. The senator, it is under
stood. feels under deep obligations to
Mr.. Sullivan and if he had not prom
ised his support to some other candi-
date for marshal before Mr.. Sullivan
entered the race it Is believed the lat
ter will receive the senators support
for the position On this possibility
the friends of Mr.. Sullivan think his
chances good to succeed Marshal
O'Connor.
Speaking about Mr.. Sullivan sug-
gests the report that he is not alone
interested in his own candidacy. He
wants Keller. his former deputy. APP
pointed by Prospective Assessor Ames
as his deputy. Mr.. Sullivan has told
Ames that If he gets a man of some
knowledge of the affairs of the office
1t will be much easier work than to
have new staff complete. Sullivan
says that Keller's training under him
in the county auditors Office makes him
eninentIy desirable and competent for
the position. Steve .Pichas friends,
however, cannot see the point Of Mr..
Sullivan's reasoning and think that he
is about the right man for the position.
