The LABOR WORLD asserts, in
speaking of the contest for legisla-
tive nominations in this district,
that "Mr. Mallory is Mr.. Nelson's
opponent" Don't see how the as
tute politician who figures as the
leader of all labor in this northern
cline can make that out There are
four filings for the Republican
nomination, Messrs. Bowling, Saari,
Nelson and Mallory, and the two
candidates receiving the highest
number of votes become the party
nominees. And it is not unlikely
that the Republicans of the district
will. settle the little dispute as to
who's who" among themselves
without the assistance of a rampant
Democratic bowler, aud it is not
unlikely that the range voters will
stick by the two candidates at this
end of the district.

sack" MILES, the third to enter
the race for the shrievalty, is, in the
city this week renewing former &C
quaintances and forming many
new ones. Mr.. Miles has the dis:
advantage of being comparative
stranger to the range: voter, but
from his appearance it is safe to
bet that he is a square, upright
gentleman and one who will be
remembered by voters at later
date should he fail in his initial at
tempt in landing the plum.
IT was a prominent local DEM
Graf who made the remark the other
day that Representative Bowling
first went back on his party and
that he has now gone back on his
country, the remark being inspired
by a glance at one of Mr.. Dowling's
campaign cards, which are printed
in blue instead of green. But Mr..
Bowling will get the Irish vote just
the same, and enough others to see
that he is returned to his former
seat in the Minnesota Legislature.
JOHN NJ. McC11NrocK, county at
torney and candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination, is detained from
making an active canvass during
the primaries by reason of represent
ing the people in his position as
prosecutor in court, but many range
friends will see that he receives a
deserved vote. Mr.. McClintock has
made record in his care of the Of
fee, and has through his taxation
flights saved to the taxpayers of
the county many thousands of dol
lars, while his handling of the
duties of the position in every way
has elected the admiration of his
constituency.

C. @. NELSON, who aspires to a
seat in the next Legislative body,
was up from West Duluth on Satur-

at the political game, but feels as
sured of liberal support where
best known. He has been in bust
ness in West Duluth for many
years, and his entrance into the race
was at the behest of friends.
THERE has been no Virginian or
combination of Virginians who
have had the nerve to promise to
deliver the vote of the city to Will
liam J. Bates in his contest for the
nomination for sheriff, but Mr.
Bates will have few at this point
at least. The number will also be
augmented, materially, through the
dislike of the average American
citizen of being told where he must
head in.

political importance, his trip being
more for the purpose of a brief visit
