convention land coming down them
selves when Dunn wanted them in the

Both Dunn and Collins maintained

A rumor is current in the Sixth dis
trict that Claus J. Gunderson, of Alex
! andria, is considering getting into the
fight for the Republican nomination for
congress in the district. Congressman
Buchanan is an avowed candidate for
reelection, and A. F. Foster, who ran
two years ago and was defeated by
Buckner by a narrow margin, is al
ready In the field. Gunderson is per-
sonally a strong man, but the fact that
he comes from a town already hon
ored by the continuance in the United
States senate Of Knute Nelson will
probably prove d serious handicap to
him in the primary election campaign.
Ramsey county voters will have OPP
portunity to vote for two excellent can
didates for district judge at the fall
election. Judge George L. Bum is a
candidate to succeed himself and T. D.
O'Brien will be "a candidate for the dis
trict bench. Both are finely qualified.
The announcement is also made that
Thomas r. Kane will be a candidate
to succeed himself as county attorney.
Mr.. Kane has made avery capable Of
fetal and has proven very popular with
people of all political parties in the
administration of his office:
Inquiries are coming up from Rem
vile ceuntyLthes home Of Frank
Clague, Republican candidate for
speaker of the next house-as to how
Clague stands on the question of gov
ernor. He'ehas been regarded as
Dunn man, but some of the Princeton
mans partisans in Southwestern Min
nesota accuse Clague of flirting with
the Collins mem in the hope of fayor1ng
his own candidacy for speaker A
statement from Clague. they say, would
clear the atmosphere.
G. S. Pease,, Of Anoka, was beaten at
Duluth for district delegate from the
Eighth district, and he is naturally
sore. Pease blames Mile Laos county
for his defeat but says that he won't
try to play even.
sJust watch the tide turn in favor of
Dunn for governor" said +. c. Schiff-
mann, who is very much In favor OF
| the nomination of the Princeton man.
Ramsey county will in the end declare
for Dunn OF this there is no doubt
it's double dyed cinch, bolted on both
sides and sewed with lapped-over
seams. Why, the kids who are run
ming the campaign for Collins amt
next to the game little bit, but twill
| be a good schooling for them, and in
future years, after they have butted
in few more times, they will be able
| to render valuable aid to the Repub-
| lican party. Let me see. There is Wal
ter Lemon, sFent' Warner, Ed Parish,
c.. Lindahl and a whole lot of other
youngsters, who imagine that they are
politicians and able to turn the trick
just proper. But when they wake UP
to the real situation they will find that
brtting in and being successful are two
| different things. Bob Dunn is the next
governor" -
'.If the county auditor should claim
that no voters were disconnected by
his peculiar distribution of election
ballots. just refer him to me-" said
William Buschuann, the alderman of
the Second ward.
cit. is true that, so far as know,
there were noavotes lost in the Second
ward, but several of the voters had to
wait for some, time, although the city
clerk certainly made quick trip from
the city hail to the polling places.
1.-THE situation in the Second ward,
so far as the Democrats are concern
ed continued the alderman, was
never better.I predict that better
showing will be made for the ticket
than was the case two years ago..
