will be all over before january, and that
all opposition toghis% nominal ton will have
been abandoned and that he will be the
unanimous choice OF the republicans for
governor; and while this Is putting 1t
pretty strong, it seems quite safe at this
time to predict that he will win out in
the contest with flying colors. Mr.. Dunn
Is comparatively poor man and will
have to make a poor mans campaign, but
the people are with him, and that is much
better than a big barrel OF Doodle. =
According to the New Paynesville Press,
Mr.. Dunn has announced that George A.
Finn, Ala Pioneer Press building, st. Paul.
is looking after my interests politically"
Mr.. Finn was land clerk during the whole
OF Dunn's service as auditor, and one of
paper man. thoroly familiar with the poll
tics Of the state. and the ex-auditor could
hardly find a better manager.
Speaking Of the Faribauit Journals Van
Sant-14oWIrys story which, was mailed all
over the state, the Buffalo journal says:
4 That sort Of political rot may win, but
it IS very doubtful. To all appearances
Governor Van SAINT is attending to his
own business, but if his enemies keep up
that sort Of goading it would be only hui
man for him to get his Dutch up and go
after them. There are men who would pre-
fer to see Van SAINT step out and retire
on his record, but these unfair attacks
may change that opinion Il kept, VI. =
The New Paynesville Press sizes up
the so outlook in the south .fi in this style:
"One does not have to keep his political
ear very close to the ground these days
to discover that A. f. Foster is preparing
to give Congressman Buchanan the battle
Of his life next year. It. is said that Mr..
Foster has friends at work in almost every
precinct in the district. and in all cases
his agents are of the quiet, ,easy-going
kind. difficult to- locate sbut whose influ-
ence Is always felt in the political affairs
Of every community. Mr.. Buchanan has
an aim perfect organization among the
old politicians of the entire district, which
would be invincible under former condi-
TONS but the defeat of Young in the
seventh and the scare given: Buchanan
to the good, were sufficient to show that
organizations of POLITICIANS don't count In
a primary election.'' : ;rss.: vs
