nor, and James A. Pc
terson, candidate for congress- 1t first cropped
out at the seventh ward banquet, where Mr..
Jones declaru1 Congressman Fletcher's re-
election certainty, while facing Mr.. Peter
son and Eugene Hay, his rivals in the raae
for congress. Though nothing was said at
the time, the remark was somewhat taken to
heart, by Mr.. Peterson at least.
well-defned rumor has been going the
rounds to the effect that the Hennepin dele
CATION was to be delivered Unit for Iver-
son for state auditor, Mr.. Peterson has
some interest in the candidacy Of his old
colleague, j. F. jacobson, for the same office.
He has his cwn fight to make, and is not
trying to manage the Jacobson campaign,
but he wants to see Jacobson get some votes
from this county. Thursday he met MIR.
Jones on the street, and took him somewhat
to task. The lumberman denied the report
and resented Mr.. Peterson's remarks, and
bystanders say that language passed between
them which Mr. Jones. as lieutenant gov
ernor, would have to rule unparliamentary.
1t is likely that the incident will have
bearing on Hennepin county politics this
summer, though both deny that their rela-
tons are other than friendly.
r. HIS POSITION Another point have
made up my mind on.
ON PENSIONS. Many old soldiers have
had difficulty in prov
ing the cause of their disability because of
the death or dispersion of their comrades. l
believe that an honorable discharge held by
disabled or destitute veteran of the civil
war would be all the proof necessary to Sc
cure pension.
AS to his prospects, Mr. Bowling did not
have much to say, remarking that it was poor
policy to make claims, but he declared his
belief that there were some surprises in store
for the other candidates. ~

LIND TO RUN. cratic paper, pleads
for Lind as free-will
candidate in the following style: 4 49, T.
Mr.. Lind is the most logical candidate Of
the party under existing conditions. He is
unanimously considered by the democrats Of
the state to be the most popular and available
not believe in compelling any to run for
an office. 1t is in conflict with our ideas
of individual liberty and freedom as an Amer
lean citizen Mr. Lind has given generously
of his. time and labor during the past six
years to the cause of his party. Since he re-
tired from the Office Of governor he has built
up lucrative law practice which is paying
him treble the amount of the salary of gov
ernor. For his political friends to COM
pei him to give up this paying practice to
accept lass money for more labor is like TAX
ton. We hope and trust Mr.. Lind can and
will accept the nomination for governor
again, but his friends have no right to COM
pei him to make SO great personal sacri-
fee. .1
The Appleton Press says:
On the 18th day of June the democrats will
nominate state ticket with John Lind at the
who will be named in case of Lind's refusal
to accept the proffered crown

nounces himself a candidate for congress in
this district, Is but very little known IN
this part of the district, which is decidedly
against him. The fact that Litchf1eld had the
stae treasurer for six years and now has the
secretary Of state and chairman of the board
OF control will not help him any.
The I1awkeye Herald says:
Opposition to Senator Smiths renomina-
ton will be thicker than the hair on a dogs
tail He will not even get the support of the

Who's your candidate? It. takes two to

The Ortonvil1e Herald Star says:
The state convention is but a month away.
and Jacobson's s. closest friends in this, his
neighboring county, do not yet know for a
certainty that he is candidate for state aud
itor. Jake may carry this sphinx business
too far "already yet.
If Jacobson's friends read the newspapers.
they ought to know his intentions. That is
the only method of campaigning he has used
up to the present, so those who can read
are left in ignorance.
The Appleton Press says that E. S. Reshus
Of Lyon county is likely to be the democratic
candidate for congress in the seventh. He
