He repeated his belief that John Lind would
be nominated for governor by the state con-
vention next week. and that he would accept
the nomination. Mr.. Rosing admitted that he
did not have Mr. Lind's assurance that he
would accept. He is relying on his former
chief to heed the 'tcall of duty
Mr.. Rosing is in high feather over the rail-
road rate secured for the convention All the
Minnesota lines have granted one-fare rate

hopes for full attendance on this account,
though according to reports received from the
country, rye harvest and haying will be in
progress, next week in many places, and it
will be hard to- getFthe farmers out. ri
Mr.. Rosing will come to Minneapolis, Mon
day, and establish headquarters for the state
committee at the West hotel. The COM

time the make up of the state ticket will be
discussed, and a selection will probably be

CoMSToCK IS The Moorhead Inde-

IN THE RACE. phatic contradiction of
the report circulated
by Ezra Valentines supporters, to the effect
that S. G. :Comstock would not become an
active candidate for congress. The late en-
try of the Moorhead man has been taken adj
vantage of by the others. The Independent
says:
S. G. Comstock is in the race for the con-
gressional nomination, the report OF inter-
ested parties to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. 1t is a strange way to conduct a cam
paign to circulate the report that another
candidate has withdrawn That report has
been denied by Mr.: comstock and his friends,
yet certain individuals persist In circulating
the story--it might be called by another
name. There is no question that certain, at
least, OF the candidates would be pleased be-
yond measure If the report were true, for
they know that Mr.. Comstock is not only the
ablest but the strongest man in the district
If for no other reason than these, Mr.. Com
stock should be nominated, and his chances
are improving every day.
The Thief River Falls News says;
1t is not likely that C. G. Rapp Of St.
Hilaire will have any opposition for the re-
publican nomination for representative in
this district. Mr.. Rapp,s record has made
him decidedly strong with the people.
This means that Red Lake county is to
support the senatorial candidacy Of W. F.
Street of Bemidji.
OF the four counties In the forty-hfth Iegis-
.lative district, Anoka is now the only one
that has not ansyopen candidate. Frank
White of Elk River, Sherburne county and
Senator H. F. Barker Of Cambridge, Isanti
county, are in the lists for senator, and
Emmett Mark of Princeton, Mile Laos county,
filed yesterday for the house. The senatorial
candidates are both trying to soothe the
aspiring feelings of Anoka statesmen and
get them to run for the house. but 1t is pos
sible that Anoka will furnish third candi-
date for the senate. Henry Lee may; run
again for the house, and T. g. Mclean and
G. H. Wyman are also possibilities.
