Makes Bede [ lauuh.
The report that Congressman Nor
ris is to enter the race in the Eighth
district is laughed at by J. Adam Bede
and his followers. The Republicans
who have been and are opposing Bede
have rather sOured on Judge Edison,
who was touted as a world -beater
when brought out.
"The fact is, Judge Edison is a poor
mixer and has cold feet" said a Duluth
''and it may be that some Of the fell
lows, who are not in favor of Bede,
are endeavoring to pull Morris in the
race again. 1t does not look possible
to me, but if Norris consents to get in,
Edison will withdraw. 1t is certain
that every vote that Edison would get
at the primaries would come from
er Morris could beat Bede out or not"
Made 1t Six Straight.
Charles r. Davis, of. st. Peter, made
it "six straight" in the Third district
by filing his papers for the Repub-
lican nomination for congress yester-
day. Mr.. Davis has been threatening
to make the fight in the district more
lively by getting into the game, but it
was not anticipated that he would
become a candidae.
Davis attended the meeting of the
friends of P. w. Morrison at the Mer-
chants yesterday afternoon and was
requested to line up for the. Carver
county man. To this proposition Mr..
Davis suggested that Morrison run for
the senate and support him for con-
gress. Morrison begged the question
by saying that, as he had already filed
for congress, he owed it to his friends
to remain in the race. s-. 20
Is Out to Win.
1t may have been the talk made by
Morrison and his friends, or it may
have been something else; but half an
hour after leaving the Merchants Mr..
Davis accosted some of his friends at
the Windsor and informed them that
he had Jumped off the bridge" which
was his way of putting his determina-
ton to be a candidate for congress- !.
