Superior, Wis, Sept 26s-Win it be possible
for the defeat Of Irvine L. Lenroot, speaker of
the last assembly and candidate for reelection,
to be brought about by social democratic
didate? That is the question that is being asked
by democratic and republican leaders alike and
lit has been said that there is some concern
among the republican La Toilette leaders, both Of
this city and state, as to what the outcome
will be. ~
The plan as whispered around the street cor
ners and in certain offices here is said to be to
have the social democrats, the democrats and the
stalwart republicans unite on the social demo-
cratic candidate. This party has already nomi-
mated H. NJ Parks of the fourth ward for the
! assembly place now held by Lenroot. The stall
warts are said to have worked diligently to bring
about the defeat of Lenroot at the caucuses last
spring, and failing in that they are said to
be casting about for solution of the problem
of how to get rid Of him and give Governor La
| Toilette blow in this of the strongest La
Toilette strongholds Of the state. Democrats are
at sea as to their candidate
Hence arises the question to the probability
of the democrats failing to name candidate
from their party and indorsing Parks 1t
| is figured that with show to beat Lenroot the
stalwarts would be on the bandwagon and there
would be three forces then at work to beat him.
Those talking this plan say that the socialist
party will this year draw many more union
labor men than ever before. while the strength
Of the socialists aided by the stalwarts, would
| 1T is claimed. give Parks a fighting chance for
the position held by the former speaker of the
| assembly.
There talk that John A. Hobe city clerk,
would be brought out as upon whom demo-
lcrats and stalwarts would unite. Hobe says
he doesn't want to for any more offices al
| tho every time he has appeared he has received
ticket. and being a Scandinavian it was figured
that he might draw some of that strength from
| Lenroot.
After Foley's Scalp, Too.
A fight has already been started by the demo-
Gratis on W. R. Foley the republican nominee
! ~ Sfri aft 10
District Attorney Crownhart. and has been as
sistant district attorney. Now that he is a
candidate, the democrats planning fight on
| him account of the attitude of Crownhart on
the grain inspection measure. While he was dis
! trSct attorney, having just entered upon his
second team. he was retained by the Peavey in
against the grain men. This caused a feeling
| that will work against Foley this time and the
democrats are casting about for an attorney to
make the fight and add strength to their ticket.
-. Smaller Coal Receipts. "
Prospects now are that this city will hardly
equal the great coal receiving record made by
1t last year. Practically 100000 tons were
have been close to 1000 900 tons Snoade tpe at
the Superior docks. The close of this month
should see fully that 100000 mark, as the
record so far this year and perhaps a little more
This would leave two months in which to bring
up 100000 tons to equal the record of last
year.
| II tne COCKS are Kept fairly well cleaned up by
rail shipments SO that the coal brought by boats
can be handled this AMOUNT can be received here
as during July and August over that amount was
handled. The situation is better here now than
at most any time this summer, owing to the fact
Ithat the shipments have picked up and this fact
! relieves the docks so that the vessels can %be
T unloaded more easily and there is no further
blockade. The receipts are somewhat lighter in
