a member four years ago. There are
now four candidates in this district,
two of whom are from Two Harhors.
Senator Daugherty is after Mr.. Lay
bourne in this district. He seems to
have the latter on the run. Union labor
is going to enter this fight. Daugherty
has shown exceptional favors to the
cause in the past and they desire to
reciprocate. Laybourne was the enemy
of some of the trades in his opposition
to several measures licensing certain
mechanics. His position on the anti
boycott bill will also be given an airing.
T. M. Pugh is hustling like a good fell
low for the senate in the Fiftieth dis
trict. He is closely followed by E. r.
Jefferson, who has reputation for
fighting until the COWS come home.
Senator Hawkins has everything his
own way in the Forty-ninth district.
The Democrats have not decided who
they will pit against him.
County offices are not going begging
by any means. 1t is said that there will

gent may withdraw from the field. His
health has been very poor for the past
year, and his physicians are very much
opposed to him entering the field. If he
decides to withdraw there is good rea-
son to believe that Victor Dash will;
enter the race. Mr.. Dash has been un-
der sheriff for q number of years, and
would make a capable officer.
Odin Halden has some opposition fer
county auditor, but it does not seem to
worry him much. l.. H. Whipple is also
in the same boat, and expects to meet
with his usual success in the prima les.
Judge BOnham and former Judge
Middlecoff will cross swords for :,,e
nomination for judge of probate. Both
have splendid records, and upon Ties:
records both expect to win.
Andrew Park is again out for super
intendent of schools. He has made an
exceptionally good officer, and is e,:-
titled to further recognition from his
party. Mr.. Park was at one time
president of the Cloquet saw mill work.
ers in the palmy days.
Ole Larson, Of the Steamfitters' union,
is being urged to enter the ace for
sheriff. He certainly weighs enough to
hold the job.
Some Democrats are urging Walter
Johnson to run for Sheriff. Walter is
we'll liked, and would get soM share
of votes outside of his party.
l. l.. M. Johnson, of the Typographical
union, is a candidate for register of

works every day at his trade. Here's a
good chance for you to do something

Edson's managers had an ADVERTISE
ment in Sunday mornings News 'rrib-
une. It was copy of letter writ

Anoka. The letter was purely personal.
and as a political document has had
little effect. Condemnation is heard on
every hand against the man who gave
up the letter. If it proved ANYTHING il
proved that Bede did not promise the
post office. The fellow who gave up THE
letter will be politically dead in the fu-
ture. No man such as he will be re-
cognized by any faction, nor can any
party afford to give him such.
Labor never had so many friends
among the politicians as it has today.
