CANVASSES RETURNS
State Board Begins the Work
and VIII Finish Tomorrow

The state c~anvassing board yester-
day, at the state capitol, c%anvassed the
returns of several of the congressional
district contests in the primary cleo
ton, but because of the fact that Pipe
stone, ST. Louis, Itasca and Beltrami
counties had not sent in their official
reports of the county canvassing
boards, in the Sixth district alone, Of
the congressional districts, where a hot
contest was waged. are the figures
available.
The returns show that Congressman
Buchanan, of Little Falls, defeated Col.
A. F. Foster, of Litchfeld, for the Re-
publican nomination by 2,676 votes. His
home county, Morrison, led in furnish
ing his majorities, and Wright county
was a close second.
The absence Of Pipestone county's
returns from the list of Second district
counties makes the total of McCleary's
exact majority in doubt. without
Pipestone, which will increase his ma
jority by about 800, McCleary has
9,257 to Miller's 1922.
The work of canvassing the returns
was begun yesterday with Judge c. L..
Brown, of the state supreme court, and
Judges Grier M. Orr and O. B. Lewis,
of the Ramsey county district court,
acting as members of the board. j. ].
Lomen, assistant secretary of state,
represented that department of the
state government, and the board had
as it's clerks S.. e. Atkins, P C.
Koerner, John Hansen, Alfred Tiesburg
and Charles Rose. The board will be
in session today and possibly a part Of
tomorrow.

MANDAMUS HANSON
Proceeding to Be Instituted
Against Secretary of State

The Democratic state central COM
mittee will serve a writ of mandamus
on Secretary of State Peter. E.. Hanson,
citing him to show cause why he
schould not place the name of G. l..
Brown, of Morris, on the official ballot
with the designation Democrat after
his name as well as hat of "Repub-
lican."
Judge. Brown Is the nominee of both
political parties, but a provision of the
primary election law provides that no
nominee shall have the designation of
more than n party after his name on
the official ballot. This law is believed
to be unconstitutional, and J. w. Arc
lander, of Minneapolis, has been en-
gagged by Chairman F. A. Day, of the
state central committee, to take the
case before the supreme court by
process of mandamus.
In a "a Involving a question of di-
recting the secretary of state to per-
form a certain act in connection with
the preparation of the ballot, the at
torrey generals office waived the ques-
ton Of jurisdiction. This was the case
of Higgins VS.. Berg, decided some
years ago, n w. J. Donahower, at
torney general, said yesterday that his
present intention vas to waive the
question of jurisdiction in this case in
accordance with precedent.
When the case came before the SUI
preme court, Gov. Van. SAINT will invite
district court judges to sit in the
places Of Judges Brown, Lovely and
Lewis. supreme court judges, who
are barred by the fact that they are
candidates for reelection this year
and therefore interested in the pro-
ceeding to be Instituted against the

statement that certain statements had

Judge George L. Bum, for the past
eight years conceded to be one OF the
strongest judges Of the Ramsey county
district court, has beer nominated by
the Democrats for reelection. Judge
Bum was originally appointed by Gov.
u. M: Clough to succeed Judge Charles
D. Kerr, deceased. The appointment,
made Jan. 2, 1897, was, purely non-par-
tisan, Gov. CIough being a Republican
and Judge Bum a Democrat. Two
years later the people ratified the APP
pointment by electing Judge Bum for
the full term of six. years. In that
election Judge Bum was elected by a
majority of 5000, defeating Gerhard
W1llrich, former probate Judge, a Re-
publican. His eco on the bench is
vouched for by the fact that he had
no opposition in his own party for a re-
nomination, and his election is quite
generally conceded. ss
Judge Bum is a native Of Wisconsin,
being a son of an able jurist of that
state and a brother. of c.. w. Bum,
general counsel for the Northern Pa
cifc Railway company. He has prac-
ticed law in st. Paul for the past six

Judge Bunn's standing as a member of
his profession was shown when, on the
death of Hiram F.. Stevens, its dean,
he was elected dean of the st. Paul
College of Law. a position which pos
sesses many attractions from a purely
honorary and professional standpoint.
In addition to being known locally as a
fair n honest judge, Judge Bum has
a national reputation as an authority
on whist.

The Barber company then applied to
the statess supreme court for a writ of
prohibition. The supreme court denied
the writ, holding the Duluth ordinance
good. On the allowance-o of an additional
estimate of $4,000 to the company, prop
erty owners appealed to the district court
and in this case the company first raised
the question of the jurisdiction of the
district court. The case has been on the
calendar for a year, but no effort has
been made by either side to bring it to
trial.

NAY QUIZ GALLlCK
Republican Committee to Ex.
anime Court Commissioner !.

A strong effort is being made in Re-
publican quarters to induce Henry
Gallick,s the nominee for court COM
missioner, to withdraw from the ticket,
but Gallick is making a hot fight to
be permitted to remain in the race.
In the naming Of the members of the
executive committee, as suggested by
the candidates, Fenton G.. Warner is
known to be sounding the prospective
appointees as to where they stand on
the question, giving the impression
that he fears that If Gallick is al
lowed to remain on the ticket the
other nominees will be weakened.
While it is claimed that the other Re-
publican candidates are fighting shy
of expressing an opinion, it is known
that at least two of the number have
come out openly in their conferences
with Warner, asking that Gallick he
requested to withdraw.
One of the main contests, that for
secretary Of the committee, centers
about the outcome of the Gallick mat
ter. Although the Republicans, realiz-
ing that the political situation in the
First, Sixth and Eighth wards is criti-
cal, are trying to keep the matter in
h background, the public announce
ment yesterday that w. A. Gerber is q
candidate for the secretaryship and
that he favors Gallick in all possible
ways. lent force to the suggestion that
Magnus Norman, who has heretofore
been practically conceded the. position,
will have to fight for the preferment.
Norman is suspected of having made
some caustic remarks as to the litter
acy of Gallick, and although be denies
having taken part in the fight, the
supporters Of Gallick are lining up
against him.
Chairman Warner has given little
or no indication of his opinion as to the
proposed effort to force Gallick off the
ticket, but his conversations with the
candidates and prospective members
Of the committee, indicate that he de-
sires that Galiick's standing be de-
termined before the campaign is fairly
opened. There is some talk that CAL
lick may be called before the COM
mittee n closely examined when the
executive committee is organized to-
day as to the rumor that his sole edu-
cational ability consists of his being
able to write his name. The members
of the city and county committee, the
parent body to the executive commits
tee, are said to be almost solidlyS in
favor of Gallick being compelled to
show that he has suf1cient education TO
transact the business connected with
the position.

Thomas D.. O,Brien, nominated by the
Democrats as one Of their two candi-
dates for judge of the district court,
has lived in st. Paul nearly ali his life,
and is one of the best known members
of the Ramsey county bar. MI. O'Brfen
has for the past sixteen years been the
Junior member of the law firm of G. d.
& T. D. O'Brien, and comes of a family
of lawyers. He studied law in the
Office of Young & Newell, prominent
lawyers in ST. Pau for a great many
years. and upon his admission to the
bar formed a partnership with his
elder brother, John D. O'Brien, a con-
nection which has become established
as one of the great law firms of the
term as county attorney thirteen years
ago, has never held an Office with
which remuneration has been connect
ed. He has, however, been national
Democratic committeeman for Minne-
sofa for the past eight years, n mas a
wide acquaintance throughout Minne-
sofa and neighboring states.
While his position on the national
committee has brought him in contact
with politicians, his best claim to rec
ognition is as a lawyer of eminence and
erudition. He has eve since it's estab-
lishment been a lecturer in the ST. Paul
College of Law, and is especially pop.
u1ar with the alumni and students of
the institution. Mr.. O'Brien received a
very fattering vote in the primaries
and his friends are confident hat he
will be chosen in November as one of
the district judges for the mex six
years. Many Republicans have already,
declared their intention Of voting for
the Democratic candidates for the judg-
ship, in order that the non-partisan
character of the bench may be pre-
served.

cate that Senator Knute Nelson in his
sample speech at Madison last Friday
night put his popularity with the peo-

issues and gave R.. c.. Dunn praise that

of his auditors left h hall in a body.
Others remained, but by their silence
and lack of enthusiasm showed too
well their feeling as to the senator's
sincerity.
Following the meeting, 1t is reported
that a number of Senator Nelson's
warmest friends at Madison remon-
strated with hin and told him that he
