MINNESOTA POLITICS

TICKET CAN'T Slate makers are hav-
ing hard time to-
BE BALANCED, figure out a state
ticket that will be
properly balanced geographically. There
are ways it can be done but as the situation
stands it is impossible to bring about any
such result.
This is the way the districts fare for elec-
tive offices, counting the holdovers and leav-
ing out two places, auditor and clerk of the
supreme court:
First, Governor Van SAINT, Chief Justice
Start and Justice Lovely.
Second, nothing.
Third, State Treasurer Block and Rail-
road Commissioner Staples.
Fourth, nothing.
Fifth, Ray Jones for lieutenant governor
: Sixth, Justice Collins, Secretary Of State
Hanson.
Seventh, Justice Brown.
Eighth, Railroad Commissioner Miller and
Justice Lewis.
Ninth, Attorney General Douglas and Rail-
road Commissioner Mills.
There are two places to fill, and two dis
tricts to provide for. Unfortunately, none Oh
the candidates for auditor come from these
two districts, while both have candidate
for clerk Of the supreme court lverson
comes from the first, Jacobson from the
seventh, and Halden from the eighth. There
can only De one CdQQlQdIe 1OT Clelh VI IHO
supreme court and 1t does not seem at all
likely that he will be the second district
man. It will be either Reese or Pidgeon,
who halls from the sixth.
This means that the second district will
be left off the slate entirely. Last winter
it was thought Hennepin would furnish
candidate for clerk of the supreme court,
and let the second supply the lieutenant gov
ernor again. That would have been an ex-
cellent balance, but the time is past for such
combine. Hennepin has only one candt-

From the geographical point of view, 1ver-
son has the worst of the argument, but it
does not seem to have hurt him in the cities.
or in the second, third, sixth and ninth dis
tricts.
On the other hand, location is the only
argument Reese has, 'and it is somewhat
spoiled by the fact that Ramsey has the
lions share of appointive Offices, both fed
eral and state. =. .--.:' :.
