Ramsey In the Legislature.


for primary nominations, and they have
no city election over there
There will be two lively legislative con-
tests at the primaries. w. w. Dunn,
author of the primary election law and
supporter of Senator Clapp, Is opposed
for the senate by Benjamin F. Knauft.
and the faction which has been laying for
Dunn will be very busy for the next two
weeks. The nominee will have no demo-
cratic opposition. In the thirty sixth Ru
kard Hurd is trying to deprive Hi]er Hor-
ton Of his senatorial seat. Tim Sheehan
staid out, and the two will contest 1t be-
tween them. E. N. Hazard will be the
| democratic candidate.
| Governor McGill has two opponents for
renomination-J. F. Iiilscher and J. c..
Jensen, and the winner will have no
| democratic opposition.
Senator Ives has clear sailing for re-
| nomination in the thrty-fifth, but Ber-
nard Zimmerman will give him tus-
| sle on Nov. 4, and the republicans may
| gain a seat there. Senator McNamee Is
also unopposed by democrats in the thir-
| ty-fourth district, but three republicans
are contending for the honor of fitting
with him at the polls They are John j.
Ryder, formerly 1.-The senator from Polk"
| Walter Nelson, a member of the last
| house, and j. Watson Smith.
| Joseph Jackson is not seeking a re-
nomination, and will, be missed in the
next house. Andrew Holm also drops out,
but William Butler, the democrat from
| the thirty-fourth, Is a candidate again.
Philip Martin, democrat, and Charles S.
| Schurman, republican, are candidates for
| denomination in their respective wards
from the thirty-fifth district. James R.
| Hickey wants a democratic Endorsement
in his end Of the thirty-sixth, and Ru-
kard Hurd's place is being contested for
by Ambrose Tighe and Charles E. Hamil-
| ton.
| Two republicans and two democrats as
pire to the seat of George F.. Unland, de-
ceased. w. W. Rich is candidate for
reelection, with Thomas c. Fulton con-
testing for the nomination, and Karl l..
Fieseler a democratic candidate.
Money From the AffldavIts
| The office of the secretary Of state has
taken in $2,740 as fees under the primary
election law. Every candidate for an Of
flee voted for by more than one county
filed there, and paid $40 fee.. There were
| In all 1877 affidavits received.
The fees will be distributed to the va
rious counties equally. This will be DIFF
fcult task in some cases. In the seventh
district $50, the fees received from three
republican and one populist candidate for
congress, will lhave to be divided equally
between fourteen counties: -, ~
Five affidavits were received late yes
terday evening. A fourth house candi-
date entered the lists in the forty fifth
district. He is Louis Peterson of Isanti
evidently a candidate in the interests OF
Frank White for the state senate, and a
against H. F. Barker Of Cambridge John
Becker of Browns Valley filed as demo-
cratic candidate for the senate In the
fifty seventh district, against J. T. schain.
the republican candidate from the same
city. 1t Is supposed that Herman Hil1nond
will run as an Independent.
The senatorial candidates in the Morri-
son-Crow Wing district filed yesterday
evening A. F. Ferris of Brainerd is the
Falls the democrat. H. A. Rider of Little
Falls filed as republican candidate for
the house.
VIII Save Up for Petitions.
Not a. democrat filed in Goodhue
county under the primary law.
They expect to put a ticket in
the field by petition. The only
name on the democratic ballot will be G.
C. Kolars of LeSueur for congress, but if
the democrats vote for him they cannot
sign their petition. So not many votes
will be cast at the democratic primaries in
Goodhue.
ChIdes Nationality Talk.
Coming from the home of A. j. Volstead
I the following in the Granite Falls Trib-
Eune IS an odd expression:
Il "A mistake is made by exercising the
over worked and much abused racket that
has but one name and that nationality
lVote, work and champion the cause of a
I man rather than certain individual who
happens to hail from a certain part OF
the earth you came from. Forget you
ever did such a thing"
It is reported from Redwood county thai
Senator Young has a strenuous supporter
there in Rev. John Sinclair, a Presbyterian
minister from st. Paul, who is spending
his summer vacation talking for the mar
from Appleton. +
