Senator Andrew Grin
Iceland Of Warren Was

TNlNDDLAND senator Andrew Grin /
deland Of Warren was
in NO HURRY. in st. Paul yesterday, |
but did not take adj |
vantage OF his visit to ole his certificate as
candidate for congress In the ninth. He Is |
IN. no hurry to start things, feeling that q |
fve months campaign before the primaries |
would be too much for candidates and people.
June is the best month for campaigning in |
the Red River valley, and the senator will |
probably start in right after the state con-
yention. He reports that Governor Van SAINT |
is gaining ground in that section Of the state,
where they feel that 1t is bad policy to swap |
horses while crossing stream.
VALENTINES Howard Dykman Of
Breckenridge, a Val.l
MANAGER. entine boomer, was |
also in the twin cities |
yesterday. Mr.. Dykman managed the Valen-
tine campaign against Eddy in 1900, and when
Eddy was nominated he-took of his coat ana |
did effective campaign work for the Glsn-
wood man. Mr.. Dykman will be the leading |
spirit in the Valentine. campaign this year,
and 1t will begin In about two weeks.
An effort is being made to bring Mr.. Dyk-
man out for the state senate in the sixtieth
district, to succeed John II. Smith Of Detroit.
The latter has not decided whether to ask
another term. 1t is Wilkin county's turn to
get the senator this time and Mr.. Dykmans
Sneighbors want him to represent them.
COMsTOCK Friends OF the other
candidates in the ninth
MAY NOT RUN are predicting that S.
G. Comstock of Moor
head will not file his nomination papers. He
has many frieds through the district who ara
talking for him, but Mr.. Comstock himself
is not taking any hand or giving any indica-
ton that he desires the nomination. He is
naturally an object of interest.
Senator Mccarthy said 1t, after all. A def
mite statement Of his candidacy for congress
was made in the telegraph columns of The
j Journal yesterday. 1t will be friendly
tussle between Mccarthy and Bede, with
possible third entry from Duluth, in case O.
D. Kinney's health permits him to be can
didate. Other Duluth men do not seem to
have any serious intentions.
1t is only a question Of time, his friends
say, when Eugene G. Hay will be an active
candidate for the congressional nomination In
the fifth district But Mr.. Hay says, for him
SELL that, while the matter is under consider
alton, a final conclusion has not been reached.
SHEEHAN VS.. Senator Hitler Hor-
ton, of the thirty-sixth

a candidate to succeed himself. Two

sixth district also includes the fourth ward,
known to its denizens as ode fourt'," and
two precincts of the more plebeian eighth
| ward. In the direction of the fourth ward the
| tail form OF Timothy d. Sheehan, the SILVER
| fox, ~ looms upon the horizon. Senator Shee-
han has been representing the thirty third
district, but for the last year has lived at
the Ryan, in the fourth ward. Just now he Is

| all the "bys'' in his new baNwick. They do
say that Timotheus intends to use the fourth
ward as a means Of staying In the senate.
If he can get the 1,100 republican votes Of the
ward, and the 1900 votes of the seventh are
divided among three candidates, he will get
the nomination.
(, Various business interests are anxious to
have Sheehan stay in the legislature, where
he has been an ever present help to them in
times Of trouble. He also. has the backing
