: DID MCCARTHY Has somebody been
trifing with the name
SAY 1T? of Senator Mccarthy +?
Yesterday the cold
statement was made in Duluth that the Grand
Rapids man was candidate for congress.
Friends of his announced the fact in St. Paul
Saturday.. Now comes J. Adam Bede fresh
from personal call on the senator, declaring
that he has assurance that Mccarthy will not
be a candidate, but will support j.. Adam.
I he'J GU a is Duluth correspondent says
to-day:
J. Adam Bede arrived in the city last night,
fresh from little jaunt into Senator Nc
WINGED than ever that the nomination will
come to, him. He says he has the personal
assurance Of Senator McCarthy's active sup
candidate for Judge Morris place If this is
the case, and there is no reason to doubt
that Senator Mccarthy used the language
attributed to him, it begins to look as if Bede
had lead that will require some tall hustline
to catch up with.
STARS POINT If Duluth has a; eandi-
date for the place, ii
j}sb TO KINNEY. will probably be O. D.
Kinney. S Senator
a
didate for the place. His health is not such
as to permit him to go into an active polit-
zeal fight. He favors Mr.. Kinney, and there
are indications that if Kinney says the word
he will get strong support from Duluth. He
is well fixed financially to make a campaign
When in Washington the other day, Mr.. Kin.
ney intimated that he might get into the
field if conditions were favorable
The interchangeable little man from Pine City
( is very busy tightening his cinch, and every
days delay on the part of other candidates
adds; to his strength A good many eighth
district men have remarked lately that it is
a good time to ''do something for Beie."
EDDY LOSES If Frank NJ. Eddy is
going to run for con-
BY DELAY gress this year, it is
.ls about time he came
back to the seventh district. His friends are
getting scared by the report of his coming
withdrawal and are threatening to desert
The other candidates are prof1ting by the sit
uation.
Editor Starr Of the Lamberton Star is an
snti-Dowlng man, and not many weeks age
was yying with Julius Schmahl in saying
nice things about Eddy. This week it is diff
ferent, and he discusses the new phase Of
things in Redwood county in style that un.
mistakably shows that his eyes are turned
toward Appleton He says:
There has been quite a marked change $ir
the congressional situation i'll Redwood ccun
ty the past few weeks. Several months ag.
the county would have gone for Frank "
Eddy from the fact that the people though
that Mr.. Eddy was the logical candidate be
cause he had been in congress and coult
do more for the new district than a nev
man. But the fact that Eddy has been absen
from congress for the past two months, ant
that repeated rulnors have come from Wash
tngton that he will withdraw from the race
has greatly lessened the chances of the Glen
wood man being elected. Many of his friend
| in this county figure that even f Eddy come
be elected The sentiment OF the leadin,
workers of the county seems to he that Mr.
Young is the stronger OF the other tIlre
candidates, and a gentleman of superior a bill
ity, so the party workers who have Away
won the battles in the county will doubles
pull for the Appleton statesman.
Mr.. Bowling got home a few days ago from
months trip to the coast. When asked, OF
his return, what effect he thought the with
drawaf! of Mr.. Eddy from the race, in cas-
Eddy decides IN OF to be a candidate for re-elec
ton, would have on the situation said h
didn't see how it could have any damagin,
effect on his own chances. 1t seems tina
the friends of Mr.. Eddy and of Mr.. Youn,
have developed a good deal Of unfriendl,
feeling between the two political camps; tina
the rivalry between these two gentlemen an,
| their friends has been anything but friend
ly contest, and it is suspected that Dowlin,
hopes to profit by Eddy's withdrawal in cas-
the congressman decides to pull out. Their
will be three candidates left if Eddy shouI
| quit, and that is enough to insure a livel,
campaign anyway. &C. B. Cheney
