Senator John A. Johnson, of ST. Pc
ter, is the recipient of a substantial
boom for the Democratic nomination
to congress in the Third district. Sen
ator johnson is one of the strongest
men in the ranks of the Minnesota De-
mocracy and Democratic leaders
throughout the state think he should
aspire to. congressional honors.
The interest in Senator, Johnson's
candidacy is increased now that it is
generally believed that Congressman
Heatwole will not again make the race
and that the right Democrat can re-
claim the district which was Demo-
cratic until HeatWole perfected his
big organization. In the five cam
paigns made by Heatwole he has built
up following that is distinctively
HeatWoleS and not to be considered
strictly Republican. The district is
naturally Democratic. The first fight
went against Heatwole and his later
successes can be subscribed only to
personal popularity and his ability as
an organizer
In 1900, Heatwole's plurality, leaving
out Meeker and Renville counties
which have been transferred in the re-
districting. was 4,544. Adding to this

The Democratic members of the
Ramsey county bar seem agreed that
O'Brien and Michaels shall have clear
fields for the nomination and election,
and while there has been no definite
agreement of any kind, the Democrats
are satisfied that they are the proper
men to make the race and have united

is admirable. The candidates are splen-

He is thirtynine years old. He was

He received a common school educa-

his expenses at the West Virginia uni

MS college studies in 1881 and removed
to Illinois, where he read law for two

any civil office and had taken no active
part in local politics except as the pub
Usher and editor of the st. Peter Her
AID. His nomination was the signal
for reversal of the time honored Re-
publican landslides in the county and
his legislative record has proved the
wisdom of the Nicollet county voters

nlzed as a leader in that body and has
never had to surrender a whit of his

FOR CONTEMPT.
w. w. Rankin Commanded to Appear
Before Court at Des Moines.


An order was issued in the federal
court at Des Moines commanding w.
W. Rankin, trustee in bankruptcy for
John E. Mitchell. who was a grocer in
Ottumwa, to appear in United States
court November 20 and show cause
why he should not be punished for
contempt of court. The charge is that
he refused to prosecute suit in dis
triet court to prevent certain Ottum-
creditors of Mitchell from converting
the stock to their own uses when
ordered by the referee so to do.
Attorneys representing the Akron
Rolling Mills company charge that
Rankin was selected trustee by col
against the estate that was not just
claim. He claims that shortly after he
was appointed trustee he went TO an
out of the way place in Muscatine
county, and that while he was there
/ Ottumwa creditors started to move the
stock to their places of business. The
attorneys for the Akron Milling com
pany tried to get in communication
with him, but falling to do SO, brought
suit in the Wapello district court to
enjoin the removal of the stock. 1t
is alleged that upon his return he first
approved of the suit and later dis
missed it, that he selected the noon
hour for the dismissal and that before
the referee could be summoned the
stock of goods was removed and in
violation of the directions of the ref
! cree that the suit should be prosecuted
