| see to it that the Swedish-Americans,
numbering over 5000 in the county, are
not forgotten on the ticket. The labor
element seem to favor a. union labor
representative and the progressive bust
mss element will stand by Mr.. johnson
to a man and see that he is nQmina-
ted"
Gust Bergquist the other candidate
! was for years editor Of the Poster, a
| leading Swede paper Of this county.
| He says that he is favorable to or
ganized labor, which is evident by his
treatment Of his printers while in the
newspaper business.
Bert Wheeler, A. T. Park and A. c.
Parsons are very much interested as
to the outcome Of the contest for the
nomination for superintendent of
schools. Mr.. Wheeler has held the Of
flee before. He is a Duluth product,
and is exceptionally fitted for the Of
flee. Mr. Park has held the office dur
| ing the past two years, and has made
a. creditable record. Mr.. Parsons is
an old time educator. He is proprietor
of the Parsons Business College and
! like the others is we'll equipped for
the work of the office. The women
can vote for any of these gentlemen
at the primaries.
! Senator Daugherty made a trip
| through his district this week and re-
turns feeling rather jubilant over the
situation. Many of the Two Harbors
railroad men who call on us say that
| Daugherty is the favorite in their city.
Adam Bede was with the Editorial
party on the Range on Wednesday. He
stopped off at Two Harbors on his
return, and left Thursday morning for
Ely. Mr.. Bede will deliver the Labor
Day address at Ely.
Jesse L. Jellison was caller at the
Labor World office this week. He
says that he is having an uphill fight
but expects to land the congressional
plum He informed us that as he was
a laboring man, and was entitled to
their support.
The candidates for county commits
sioner in Kuglers district on both tic
kets are numerous, which indicates
fight for Fred. But Fred will win.
E. +. Jefferson is moving about
quite freely in the interest Of his cand1-
dacy for state senator. Jeff is a man
of known convictions. He seldom
hesitates to tell what he thinks about
any question. He is one of the kind
of fellows it takes to make state.
It is indeed fortunate for the Repub-
lican party that it has such man as
Mr.. Jefferson left. Most men of his
calibre left it long ago.
The Democrats will be heard from
this week. A. G. Anderson, an agent
for the Minneapolis Brewing Company
is talked of for sheriff. He has lived
in the Sixth ward for many years.
Charles G.. Miller is also discussed and
his wide acquaintance on the Ranges
would serve a good purpose in the
election.
The real difficulty with the Demo-
Gratis is to get some one to run for con-
gress. M. l.. Fay, of Virginia, Is will
ing to make the run, but he does not
seem to meet with the approval OF some
of the party leaders in the county
Every kind of an inducement has been
thrown to John Jenswold and Joseph
Reynolds to become candidates, but
they both refused. There are few
I leading Democrats walking about with
cold feet. They seem to think that it
will be impossible to win this fall,
/ simply because a Republican legis-
lature has gerrymandered the district
to make it hopelessly Republican. This
ought not worry them very mueh: Their
! best laid plans have often been sent
'aelee": The Republicans have no very
I strong candidates in the field this year.
This with their over confidence and
a GOOD strong man on the Democratic
ticket would make them an easy mark
in the coming campaign If it was only
known Get out good man, and there
is every chance to land him in con-
I gress. -,
The Newest candidate for sheriff on
the Republican ticket is William j.
Bates. He is the tenth person to file.
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with Mr.. Bates ~ candidacy.
He and J: T. Armstead and another
friend were enjoying a friendly game
af cards for pastime in the home OF one
of the number one evening. It appears
that Mr.. Armsstead was very lucky,
and Mr.. Bates in commenting on the
formers luck said, "John II had your
luck would run for sheriff, The
Joke was passed around several times,
and 1t left Mr.. >Armstead~ thinking that
possibly there was q rather good op-
portunity for new man to land the
plum this year. So the next day he
+ met Mr.. Bates and discussed the mat
ter with him, and it Is said that be-
fore Mr.! Armstead entered the race he
talked the matter over with Mr.. Bates.
lMr.. Armstead informed Mr.. Bates that
1 il the latter would not become q can
4 didate that he (Armstead) would.
