Metghen is probably the best-known populist
In the state, and a man of highest reputation
for political and business honesty. He makes
sacrifice to run, In order to hold the or
ganization together, and start the party on
new era Of Independent action. The pop
ulists have some hopes of eecting a con-
gresham in the ninth, and members Of the
legislature and county officers in Otter Tail,
Polk and other northern and western coun-
ties. They predict $4,000 votes for their state
ticket 4....I + ~
There was no fusion sentiment yesterday,
and the speakers took particular delight in
referring to L. A. Rosing as an enemy of
populism, an accusation which Mr.. Rosing
probably will not deny. The old mid readers
nearly ran things yesterday, and occasionally

hold conventions; Traverse county was one
or these, and the Wheaton Gazette Reporter
says the party is completely played out there.
No one came out to the primaries, and Chair

the only man who showed up for the con-

THE WHY OF OAR Politicians were busy
= ~ y.-," yesterday explaining
REESE'S DEFEAT. the retirement of Oar
- r.. - Reese. 1t was evident
to all that the aanti-Reese sentiment in the
country had been much underest1mated. The
country was just waiting for chance to even
things up with the St. Paul gang" for its
Mills-Miller deal two years ago, and for it's
anti-Van SAINT cabal. The Ramsey delega-
tion completed the Reese downfall by it's
stand for Iverson. This was the signal for
both Halden and Jacobson men to jump hard
upon Ramsey, and they took grim satisfac-
tion IN doing it. The Reese men blame Gov
ernor Van SAINT for his defeat, but as fact
Oar can only blame himself and his alleged
friends in Ramsey. Van SAINT could not have
nominated Reese if he had lent him his
whole machinery. 9 Reese promptly pledged
his support to the whole ticket
The other defeated candidates also take
their medicine cheerfully. J. F. jacobson
says: "They have nominated splendid ticket.
I believed the people Of Minnesota wanted
me for state auditor, and find I was mis-
taken. am perfectly satisfied I shall be
on the stump this fall working for the en-
tire ticket" Mr.. jacobson still says he will

Odin Halden says: THE ticket is good
one, and we have no complaint to make.
Well go home and roll up the largest repub-
lican majority ever known in ST. Louis
county
The st. Peter Journal puts Van SAINTS ma
>jority at 100000, and further observes:
Governor Van SAINT seems to be in the per-
sonal custody of Divine Providence In 1898,
when he would have been defeated, he could
not get the nomination; in 1900 a combination
composed of Tams Bixky, Tom Lucas and
sistante, again came to the rescue: in 1902
luck is again with him when the democrats
turn Rosing for trump. cts better to be
born lucky than rich
The local democracy is having hard time
to find a man to manage the campaign,
Three men have been mentioned, but all re-
fuse to consider the proposition. They are
Elijah Barton, Charles A. Cornman and AL
derman James Dwyer. The committee meets
next Tuesday evening to organize. Walter E..
Grove is the only candidate for secretary, and
will probably be chosen. He is former
newspaper man, well acquainted and good
organizer. 49," =.
DR.. DU BOIs Dr. J. A. Du Bois Of
: Sank Center is the
GETS IN THE RACE. democratic candidate
"'::. for congress in the
sixth district After long deliberation, he
made up his mind yesterday and filed his
affidavit as. a candidate under the primary
law. This means lively campaign in the
sixth, as DR.. Du Bots is an orator Of no
mean ability, and a hustler. He has been a
rabid silver man, and will have to trim his
sails considerably to get the German sup
port, without which he stands no chance.
Colonel Foster Of Litchfield says he will

is ready to commence his campaign for the re-
publican nomination.. He does not believe
Senator Buckman is the choice of the re-
publicans of the district and says he has re-
ceived voluntary assurances Of support from
many localities where Buckman is supposed
to be solid --''-.
CAPT, REED OUT Captain A. H. Reed Of
Glencoe is the anti
AGAINST JOEL P. Heatwole candidate
=. : for congress in the
third district. He filed his certificate yes
terday as candidate for the republican
nomination.
It is believed that Mr. Heatwole is entirely
serious in his intention to close his con-
gresstonal career. His organization is de-
termined that he shall run again, and will
force him in the field il it can be done. If
they are unsuccessful, they will put up an
other candidate, possibly Frank Wilson Of
Red Wing.
Judge A. H. Snow Of Winona filed his GER
tiflcate yesterday as democratic candidate
for re- election. He will be opposed by w. B.
Anderson of winona, who will be the repub-
lican nominee -"
C. W. Sites Of Lake Benton one Of the
clean and useful members Of the last house,
filed his certificate yesterday as a candidate
for the state senate. John G. Schultz of Mar
shall, his teammate in the last house. is his
rival for the nomination. Lincoln is the small!
county, and unless Yellow Medicine comes to
his rescue Mr.. Sites will be swanped by
the Lyon county vote. .,~e -
II. P. He'll will inject some ginger into the
Ramsey county primaries. He has filed as a
democratic candidate. for clerk of court.
