Attic Julius Block has two opponents
for denomination, the general opinion is
that he will be named on the first ballot.
Politicians who, have been in the twin
cities the past few days say that they can
not find the opposition to Block making
being used against. him, Sbut the precedent
favors Block. as General Bobleter; served
eight years, and A. T. Koerner six years.
Louis G. Vogel Of New Ulm is a; candi-
date, but is also announced as candidate
for reelection as county auditor Of
Brown county, SO he has not built up
any great hopes Of success at the state
convention. p. J. Schwarg of Dodge
Center will have his own delegation and
good complimentary vote in the first
district, but Is not likely to get enough
delegates to menace Blocks success.
The big treasurer has made good rec:
ord in office, which adds materially to
his chances. Secretary Of State Hanson,
who is also up for a third term. will have
no opposition.

congress in the sixth district, passed thru
yesterday on his way home from the nor
thern part Of the district. He says that
everything looks favorable to his candi-
dacy, and that he expects to carry some
counties which gave Buchanan majority
the last time. The Buchanan Foster con-
test Of 1902 was notably a close one, and
Buchanan had only thirty votes to spare,
SO there will be considerable interest IN
Of other entries in the race, but MIR. Fos--
ter says this talk is all coming from the
Buchanan men, and it does not disturb
him. Another candidate in ! the field
would increase Buckman's chances, but he
does not look for another entry.
]. D. Jones Of the Cass Lake land office
has just returned from a vacation in Ten

ment is scarce in Cass county. But Sen
ator Jones has been away for some time.

in the county to dominate the county con-

The Glenwood Press says ~ -,
In the pamphlet setting forth r. C.
Dunn's record. as state auditor. much is
made. Of the fact that he secured $40. 00C
in eight years from trespassers during the
time that he was state auditor. In the
light Of the work Of State Auditor Iver-
son in collecting more than $4,000 If
about twelve months from the same
source, Dunns record in this respect ap-
pears to be nothing remarkable, and lends
color to the charge that he was in some
cases unduly lenient in settling with tres.
