eRIsr OF THE POLITICAL MILL.

| The -Populists of Polk county pur-
| pose to take no chances with volun-.
| tary candidates. The county commit
| tee met in Crookston the other day and
selected a complete county ticket COM
| posed of what the CrOokStOn Times
styles some of the very strongest men
in the county. J. E. Oppegaard, a
member of the last legislature, is
| named as one of the candidates for the
house and Repres entative Cumming, of
Mallory, one of the popular members
| of the last house, is slated for the SEN
| ate. E. F. Sweet, for the house, is the
| new man on the committees legisla-
| tive ticket.
The Red Wing Republican insists
| that Mr.. Rosing can hope to poll moth
ing more than the straight party vote
and that he cannot be elected, but
I says: "Mr. Rosing is a good politi-
| clan; he is a clean and estimable gen.
| tleman."
| James E. Kellogg, of Two Harbors, is
the first Democratic candidate for the
| legislature to file with the secretary of
state. Mr.. Kellogg is we'll known on
| the range and popular. He will make
hustling campaign and his friends
say he will show a pair of clean heels
| to DR.. Budd in the race for Tom Burys
| seat.
| Sammy Johnson, he of the public ex-
| aminer's Office, has purchased a large
new dictionary and a book of sy-
| nonyms. The campaign is about to
| begin to commence.
Editor John II. Skinner of the Aus
! tin Herald Republican, pays his re-
| spects to Senator Editor Sam Sven
| ingson and his Would-be successor, Ed
itor Belden, as follows:
| "The Register is getting alarmed ov-
| er a new senatorial candidate. Sven
ingson's sun is setting. He is no long
| er to boss the county. The people are
| not going to take his dictations. Old
| things are to be swept away this fall.
| SWeningSon preSumeS to dictate ev-
erything from library trustee up to
| SENATOR but the voters are going to put
! a veto on that PLAN
| Skinner is right on the ground and
/ ought to know what the people are 60
! ing to do, but the fellows at a distance
cannot forget that Sweningson has
| been delivering the goods for years
and that the Republicans of that dis
| trict have stood for it in way indi-
eating they like the way he plays boss.
By all means wipe him out, but go
| loaded for bear when the trail gets
| warm. In the meantime Editor Skin
| ner and the voters of Mower county
| have the sustaining prayers of the De-
mocracy to cheer them on their way.
Representative J. H. Nichols, of
| Pipestone, ought to land that Repub-
| 1can nomination for senator Both
Neils Jacobson and Col Harrison
| White, candidates for the house, are
| supposed to be falling over each 9TH
| er's heels in the effort to impress it
| upon the public that they and their re-
| spective communities are for Nichols.
1t will keep Nichols busy to recipro-
cate in kind, but he is an able and
adroit man. Nils Nyquist did skin him
| on the dog tax law, but Nichols has
| still several cards left in his sleeve
holdout and a little thing like giving
both White and Jacobson his undivid-
ed support ought to be easy for him.
George w. Wilson, of Worthington,
| Familiarity known as Judge" has filed
for Republican nomination to the
house. Wilson's candidacy on it's face
is calculated to help Representative
Grass, of Murray county, who is chas-
ing Dan Shell for the big fellows seat
in the senate. The Mobiles county pat
riots behind Shells candidacy say
! they will play even with Murray coun-
