Every indication is that all is we'll with
the Sixth ward and that Aid Moriarty

mented by handsome vote. Among

The county commissioners met yes
terday, but the minutes do not show
any motion indorSing Col. Wright for
mayor having been carried. The COM
mlssioners, 1t is said, are still unWill-
ing to concede that they grated the
city and county in the building of the
county jail, as implied in a speech de-
llVered by Col. Wright before the gag"
committee was appointed to prevent
the Republican candidate for mayor
making any more breaks of this char
acter.
1t is noticeable that the advertise
mentS In the opera house programmes
or candidates on the Democratic ticket
for the city offices all carry the party
name. The name of the candidate has
the word Democrat after it in bold
FACED type, while the Republican can
d1dates seem to be afraid to show their
colors. In practically no case does the
word Republican follow the name of
any candidate of the candidates on
that ticket. The query naturally arises.
are the. Republican candidates afraid
OF the designation?
Col. Frederick p Wright. the Re-
6nta e.,
ed among the Republican county off,
GERS at the court house yesterday aft
ernoon, and it is understood that there
were several Ruth Ashmore dialogues
between the candidate and the county
officers Register of Deeds M. F. Fitz-
gerald, Sheriff Philip Justus and sew
eral others enjoying the sunshine of
Republican prosperity were interviewed
by Wright, and 1t is suspected that
they were wiser-and poOrer-men
when the interviews were concluded
The Republican city and county COM
mittee met last night in joint session
with the city Republican executive
committee at the headquarters Fifth
and Robert streets. 1t was stated after
the meeting that the matter of a closer
cooperation between the bodies was
up for consideration. The report that
the county committee will line up a
number of the Republican county Off
GERS into a closer union with the city
campaign is denied. A member of the
city committee declared that the coun-
ty officers had done their full share
toward promoting the Wright campaign
and it would be an imposition and one
which they could not in reason be ex-
pected to stand to insist on further
contributions to lost cause.
A nnT71hPV of the RAD11hIipaD T1oWc-
papers in the Thirteenth judicial dis
trict are calling attention to the neces-
sity for an additional judge for the
district. Owing to the press of bust
ness Gov. Van SAINT has sent one of the
Minneapolis judges to Rock county, as
Judge Brown was engaged in retrying
the Krause murder case in Mobiles
county. 1t was proposed at the last
session Of the legislature to make a
change in the district One plan pro-
posed was the transfer of Cottonwood
county to the Seventeenth district, and
another was to enlarge the boundaries
of the district and appoint an addi-
tiOnal judge. Both plans were aban-
doned because of opposition, but the
need Of a second judge is emphasized
by present conditions.
Former Senator J. w. Craven, of Car
yer county, is a candidate for district
u610SdlC 10 jH0 O6IlOCIdllC UdIIOIdA
convention from the Third congress
sional district. He is an ardent Hearst
man. James r. Bennett Jr., Mr..
Hearst's Minnesota manager, is being
grOomed as one of the delegates at
large to st. Louis if by chance the
Hearst men should be in control Of the
state convention.
Judge Francis Caldwell, of the Eighth
judicial district, may have opposition
for reelection. P. w. Morrison is be-
ing considered as an opposition candl-
date. Judge Caldwell is a Democrat,
but the judiciary in the Eighth district
has always been kept aloof from par
tisan politics. Some of the newspapers
in the district are calling on Morrison
to make the race as non-partisan
candidate, if at all.
L. L. Brown, of Winona, and W. H.
Harries, of Caledonia, two of the most
prominent Democrats in the First con-
gressional district are suggested as the
two delegates from the First to the st.
Louis convention.
A. T. Stebbins, of Rochester, who is
a candidate for railroad and warehouse
commissioner. is meeting with cOnsid-
cradle support from Southern Mime
scta Republican newspapers. They
take the pOSltlOn InaC II one OF the
positions is to go to the southern part
of the state that section must
unite on one man and support him in
the convention. The refusal of L. P.
Hunt, of Mankato, to get into the race
leaves Stebbins with only J. H. Burns,
of LanesborO, as a rival candidate from
the southern part of the state.
H. H. Dunn, Of Albert Lea, former
state senator from FreebOrn is in ST
Paul, and says that following the Re
publican delegate convention politics
seem to have dropped from the pub
lie mind There is scarcely anything
in the way of politics being discussed
aside from local affairs, and the gu
bernatorial contest has in a large
measure been relegated to the rear.
Senator Dunn says Freeborn county
is for Judge LOvely's denomination,
