Spoil 1t.

| The public examiners office has an
array of talent that is not matched else
where in the state house. Deputy Exam
| liner J. o. Davis is prominently mention
ed for comptroller Of the city of Mime
apolis, and Edward Ekman is being talk
ed of for county auditor of Ramsey.
Deputy II. C. Koerner has been urged
to run for congress in the Third district,
and next year Gen. Pope Will have the
places of some good men to fill
With a simmering of the political pot
comes gossip from the congressional dis
tricts regarding candidates for the con-
gressional toga. 1t the first district three
of the strongest party men in the district
have been named for the nomination, any
one of whom would give the Winona
| man race that will give the First dis
| trict a new representative at Washing
ton. P. McGovern OF Waseca, L. L.
! Brown of Winona, and T. J. Meighen of
| Forestville Is the triumvirate that will
be presented to the district convention
for congressional honors.
| Senator ]. A. Johnson of the st. Peter
Herald will take the pole with School
master McCleary, as no one else has
| been mentioned in the Second. There Is
| no dearth of candidates in the Third dis
trict
Pressure Is being brought to bear on
Albert Schaller to have him take up the
gauntlet with Joel Heatwole, but without
much success. State superintendent Of
Public Instruction J. H Lewis Is on the
! Of o1io NEoT FIR
nishes two possible candidates, H. H.
/ Bonniwell Of Hutchinson, and R. H. Nc
| CIellan or Glencoe. Deputy Public Ex-
aminer H. C. Koerner is one of the decid-
eddy popular young men Of the district,
| and has much in his favor.
The nomination in this district probab-
ly lies between T. R. Kane. Judge Willis
and Humphrey Barton, with odds in ia
vor of the last named. Hennepin, the
! Fifth district, has p B. Winston, Frank
/ D. Larrabee S. A. Stockwell, and Prof.
/ T. ]. Cation as candidates.
| Senator NJ. j. Daily, the popular legis-
] lator from Perham, has already been
honored with the congressional nominal
/ ton in the Seventh district by the DEM
ocra tic and Peoples party. In case
/ Charles A. Towne does not run for con-
gress in the Sixth, the nomination will
! doubtless go to c. o. Baldwin.

Assistant Attorney General Somerby
4 yesterday submitted an opinion to w G.
! Calderwood, secretary of the Prohibition
! state committee, answering query re-
] garding the legality of the ballots affixed
with stickers bearing a candidates name.
/ Mr. Somerby holds that as long as the
! form or color Of the stfcker does not
| serve as a distinguishing characteristic.
! such method of casting ballot would
be legal. The sticker must not, however,
/ change the general appearance of the
! ballot. and its form and color should COR
! respond with the form of the ticket. In
! one instance the law expressly directs the
] use of stickers, where the candidate
either wtthdraws or dies. the name OF MS
! successor may be substituted on the
ticket with a sticker.

| Leader, Says:
banker tells me that there never was
| a time when the work Of the bank exam
! ination department Of this state was con
| Quoted in the interest Of good banking as
| 1T is at this time. The banker referred to
saws that while some bankers who have
! been doing an irregular business nave
complained of the work of the department.,
and while the methods adopted by the
present examiner are elaborate and thor
! ough as compared with those heretofore
prevailing, there is nothing more nor less
in the system than is necessary to con-
stant and complete understanding or the
! conditions and practices of the banks. Inc
bank examining department, he tells me-
are lot Of men of pleasant but deter
mined characteristics.

There will be no primary law test this
term of the supreme court Yesterday
morning that court settled this point by
/ a decision that the order to show cause
secured by Matt Gallagher and A. D.
| Smith was dismissed. The two asked the
supreme court to order the case upon the
supreme court calendar for Immediate
| hearing and the supreme court refuses to
! do so for reason that the case is not in
shape to be taken up, and because there Is
| no vital necessity that it should be. If
Mr. Gallagher and Mr.. Smith decide to
] appeal the case, 1t will mean that the
decision of the supreme court will not be
made until after election. and then there
can be no harm
