snecial TO rho Globe.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. n.-Aithough
the municipal election is nearly three
months distant, speculation on the
mayoralty fight is beginning to occupy
the attention OF politicians-and others
who would not want to be placed in that
class. The feature of the situation at
present is Mayor Hugo's refusal to make
any declaration regarding his intentions.
His silence, in fact, is at present the loud
est thing in the preliminary campaign.
in answer to persistent queries as to
whether he intends to stand for re-
nomination, the mayor replies evasively
that he has not filed his affidavit with
the register of deeds that he is candi-
date before the primaries. and until that
is done he cannot be considered one. AS
Nov. q is the last day upon which those
affidavits can be filed, Mr.. Hugo will soon
be Obliged to commit himself
Former Mayor Henry Truelsen is not
so reticent He filed his affidavit of can
didacy about ten days ago, and he has
already thrown himself into the campaign
with all his old time vigor. Although
defeated by Mr.. Hugo two years ago, he
is confident that the people have had
their fill of Republican rule, and that
they will again rally to his support. 1t
is quite probable that he will land the
Democratic nomination.
Against him, however, are arrayed the
friends of Senator C. o. Baldwin, from
whom Truelsen took the Democratic
nomination two years ago. They are
backing up Frank Crassweller, an attor-
ney who has served in the city council
several years, and one as presiding Off
Ger In the opinion of a number of peo-
pie, he is the Democracy's strongest cam
didate, but is lacking in Truelsen's ca
pacity to make votes. The latter in
Variably takes charge of his own cam
paigns, and has Il reputation for work
that has already scared some of the
more timid Republicans. Another well
known Democrat aspiring to the nomina
ton is DIR. D. D. Murray, but he is not
expected to prove an important factor.
For the Republican nomination the only
avowed candidate is Capt. d. e. Stevens,
who is said to have the support of a
wing of the party, headed by Sheriff Sar-
gent and Surveyor General of Logs G.
Fred Stevens. Whether the latter are
IN earnest or are simply Swinging
Stevens is problematieal, but the ma
jority opinion appears to be that Stevens
will not get out of the aspiring" class,
and that Hugo is the strongest man and
will receive the nomination.
Some of the more radical church ele-
ment is severely criticising Hugo's adj
ministration on account OF the rather
liberal policy pursued III relation to sa-
looms. They assert that he was elected
on an anti-saloon platform, but has ig-
nored it, and that the liquor interests
have the same liberty as under Truelsen,
whom they opposed for similar reason.
Mr.. Crassweller would probably be salts
factory to this section of both parties
but it is hardly large enough to give him
the nomination..
To sum up the situation. everything at
