MINNESOTA POLITICS

BANKS ON FEELING T. v, Knatyold Of AL
bert Lea has set the
AGAINST TAWNEY. gossips BY the ears.
His entry into the
consIesslonal race was q masterpiece Of
political strategy, and has commanded ad.
miration by its audacity. He was known to
have congressional ASPIRATIONS but when he
resigned them and fled as candidate to
succeed himself in the state senate, the dis
.trict took 1t for granted that Tawney would
be renominated without opposition.
Probably not over dozen men in the dis
trict knew OF his change OF plans till sena-
tor Knatvold'B announcement yesterday. He
clinched it In the afternoon by calling on
the secretary OF state ana depositing his affi-
davit as a candidate.
knatvold evidently hopes to ride In on a
tidal wave of opposition to Tawney. The
Winona congressman has made enemies by
the same aggressive qualities which have
made him leader at Washington. It was
republican disaffection that cut into his vote
In 1900, when. in the face OF an increase Of
sover 10000 votes. his plurality fell off 1900.
To be exact, his off-year majority over White
in 1898 was 1000, and he only led L. l.. Brown
in 1900 by 1882 votes. This was In the face
of no live issue except the lumber tariff.
Mr.. Knatvold has raised this issue with him,
but It is only side issue now. Cuban reci-
procity Is the main point of difference. The
on this proposition, especially since Mr.. Taw-
neys statement Of his position in the Chi
cago Record-Herald. His inferential treat
ment OF President Roosevelt in this article
reused storm of protest, and was imme-
diately responsible for Knatvold's 3 candidacy.
1t will be an uphill fight for the Albert
Lea man, with no tried organization, op-
posed to a man of Tawney's aggressiveness,
with a complete party machinery in every
county One important advantage for Knat-
void is his nationality. The largest foreign
born element in the first district is Nor
wegian, and this will in large measure rally
around Knatvold, though he is not expected
to make any claim for votes on such
ground. aa5 saag q.
+ Under a ruling of the attorney generals
office, Senator Knatvold has right to with
draw his name from the Office OF the audi
tor of Freeborn county, where he had al
ready filed for the state senate. It is sig
nif1cant fact that this rurfng was made in re-
sponse to question from Senator Under
leak Of Chatfield, who is not candidate for
office. 1t raises presumption that the ques-
tion was asked on behalf of Senator Knat-
void. * -s'ss ..s..r..,
Knatvold's withdrawal leaves NJ Halvor-
sen Of Albert Lea in possession Of the field
in Freeborn county as candidate for the
senate, and doubtless means that nearly all
elements of>the party in Freeborn will sup
port Knatvolds candidacy. .,s
Mr.. Tawney's opponent will begin at once
an active canyass Of the district. His course
will be watched with great interset. Under
the primary law the sitting member with his
organization has great advantage, and the
only thing that will unseat Tawney and nom
mate Knatvold will be a popular uprising
The next two weeks will disclose whether this
is going to take place in the first district

50. w. So &te Mitchell of Alexan-
dria The first leaflet is neatly put up and
discussion of the constitutional amendments.
In an introductory word the editors who re-
ceve the bulletins are informed:
can effort will be made to give you matter
that may be useful at any time during the
campaign, and to furnish facts that may come
handy or form basis for more extended
articles OF your own. =
This is the true function of press bureau,
to stimulate and laid editors, not to relieve
them Of editorial responsibility.
Democratic papers have charged that Mr..
Mitchel's selection as director means an
abandonment Of the merger ISSUE The fol-
lowing paragraph in the bulletin indicates the
contrary:
Mr. Rosing has not yet discovered that

silence is getting not only painful but signifi-

SITUATION IN
THE FIFTH.

Committeeman Shev-
lin. who is vigorously backing Congressman
Fletcher, has already $1,000 wagered on his
favorite's nomination, backing him against
the field with heavy odds. The same rumor
says that Mr.. Fletcher has cautioned his
friend not to give too many citizens of Min
neapolis financial interest in his undoing,
and that the. betting has stopped for the
present. ~.-..
The Fletcher men claim that their man is
now comfortably in the lead, admitting that
Peterson was ahead until Uncle Lorens
turn from the capital. The Peterson and
Hay followers agree on one thing, that
Peterson Is now In the lead Hays support
ters claim that their man has made rapid
strides lately, and has left Fletcher in third
position. Their claim is that at the finish
there will be band wagon rush to Hay from
the Fletcher supporters who are, especially
opposed to Peterson. - ~",
Both Fletcher and Peterson have an army
Of workers and a thorough organization of the
city The Hay organization is still being
perfected. Mr.. Fletcher has a silent but
powerful supporter In the business men S

lative contest over taxation, which has turned

to be conservative. This committee has been

unobtrusive way doing some effective work.

ACTIVITY Is suspended,
pending one little word from John Lind, If
he coyly says Eyes," the local organization
will jump into the fight with redoubled vtgor,
and expects to have no trouble to fill out the
city and county ticket with strong men. If
he refuses to run, work Will begin just the
same, but on somewhat different lines. The
efforts will be concentrated on the election of
a mayor, sheriff and as many Legislative and
aldermanic candidates as stand a show OF
pulling through.
So everything Is at standstill. A meet
ing Of the county committee has been called
for Saturday evening, in the hope that some
thing definite will be known at that time II
the silence is still unbroken, the committee
will find little to do. Their principal duty
just now is the election Of secretary.
r. r. Odell once more entered the con-
gressionM field yesterday. He filed for the
democratic nomination, claiming to have as
surance that Governor. Lind would not be a.
candidate. This makes three candidates

field in their own land. Figures Of
railroad activities for the world at

and reliable. the United States is
seen to be far ahead Of any other
