Louis &c. vogel Of New UflIn is an ac-
tive candidate for state, treasurer. AS
soon as Gus Widell ANNOUNCED that he
would not be candidate for secretary; Of
state, MI. Vogel made up his mind to
run, and announced his decision yester
day. He had only been waiting. to hear
from Widell.
julius Block won his first nomination as
a second district man, and has plenty Of
friends in that section. Nov that Nicollet

News:
According to the twin city. papers Mr.
Widell of Mankato has decided that he
will not be a. candidate for secretary of
The second district has only one chance
to get place on the state ticket and that
is in uniting on some candidate for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner. BY
doing this they cam name 1.-THE man.
Whether they willsdo sd or.not remains to
be seen. AS the News has often stated,
1t Is ready and more than willing to sup
port any man the district. will unite on
for that position
This ignores the Voge1 candidacy, which
may be the only one developed in the dis
trict. II. J: Miller of Luverne, who has
been importuned tosSbe a candidate for
railroad commissioner, will not stand for
1t. He has his eye on the seat in congress
now held by J. T. McCleary, and will not
be drawn away to anything else. Some
one else may be brought out for the office,
but Vogel is the first second district man
In the field: and so Has an advantage.

! 1t is safe to%say that Watonwan coun-
ty to-day is overwhelmingly for Collins
for governor. This sentiment is so gen
eral among the republicans Of the county
that there is very little said in favor of
any other candidate. There is no indi-
cation that this sentiment will grow less. -
The Lakefeld Standard, the Dunn rep
resentatiye in Jackson county, says:
"a howl is going up from the Collins
camp because Fred Schiffman who was
Governor Van: SAINTS .ehief oil inspector,
is for Dunn for governor. But, these peo-
pie forget that Schiffman four years ago
was for Van SAINT And why should Dunn
object if Schiffman is supporting him
We are no particular admirer Of the ex-
Oil inspector, but why Dunn should be
blamed for any support which comes to
him is beyond our comprehension. We
have not noticed Collins or Jim Martin
chasing away any supporters, no matter
| what their condition or character may be
or have been. Worse men than Schiffma1i
are behind the Collins candidacy"
The Standard evidently has new rule
of conduct: 1T makes no difference what
company a man keeps" 49,.
