: The Labor s. 5: woirld Is in receipt. OF l.
letter from Robert C. Dunn, in which
he asks that his .papersconvey his per-
sonal thanks to the. Laboring men of
Duluth for the magnificent support
given Him At the ~. last t. election. s..
Ed! Claggott, retiring sheriff Of Mil
lie Laos county-~and a. candidate for
Sergeant at@Arms of the House of Re-
representatives.; was a caller at the Of
flee Of the Labor World Wednesday,.
MIR. Claggott has the. solid support Of
the st, Louis county delegation. and:
he is we'll entitled to it.. He has also:
received liberal support from members
In the first and third districts. Here
is hoping that Claggott will win the
trophy.
It. is rumored in state political circles
that Ed. Peterson, deputy Auditor, of
Ramsey county, and a graduate Of the
University Law school, has been
picked for Commissioner of Labor by
Governor Johnson Mr.. Peterson was
at one time a member of the Boot and
Shoe workers union. Governor Van
SAINT went into the ranks for his Com
missioner Of Labor, and strange to
say it was the best appointment ever
made for that office.
The announcement that Gov, elect
Johnson had decided upon Thos. D. o.
Brien for the appointment as Insur-
ance Commissioner meets with gener-
al satisfaction among all Johnson sup
porters In this city.
j. Gordon O'Neil is receiving much
encouragement in his candidacy for
factory inspector. His opponent is
Jos. Nylander, a non union engineer
It is said that Mr.. Nylander has the
endorsement of several leaders in the
Democratic party who heretofore
have enjoyed the confidence Of men,
bers of organized labor. However, it
is not expected that Gov. Johnson
will care to antagonize union labor in
this vicinity. He will in all probabil1-
ty desire its support two years hence,
and while union labor is not always
good booster for it's friends, It Is the
best knocker we have ever known.
Democratic leaders whose horizon
does not extend beyond the general
offices Of railroad companies get real
angry when they think Of Democrats
who can't warm up to them in their
present temporary triumph, but there
will be a day Of reckoning yet, and the
true Democrats will come into their
inheritance. Q
The city primary election promises
to be much warmer than was first
anticipated Will Mccormick is hav-
ing a merry contest for the Republic
an nomination for Comptroller. His
opponent Axel Zimmerman, is con-
Quoting a systematic campaign. 1t is
not expected that he will be- able to
defeat Mccormick. .>.

Eand Ed. Totmant for the Il Repub1i can
|nominatio lion for AID erman IN the sec
ond ward is assuming wide proper
tons. Mr.. FISCHER has served the ward
in the council for three terms, and he
| has a large number of, sincere friends
| who are out working day and night
| for him. Mr.. Totman also is busy, and
| those who pretend to know say that
the vote will. be close on primary cleo
ton day.
Alderman Tessmans stock is raising
| in the Third ward: The contest for the
primary nomination is exciting much
interest, and it is generally conceded
that If he gets the nomination he will
show Ed Burg a. thing or two about
! politics.
| Porter J. Neff is to be the next
Alderman from the Fourth ward. 1t
is rumored that Alderman Walker will
| file as an independent after the prirn-
aries. but this will only enhance Mr..
[ Neff's chances.
| VIM. HARDWOOD and H. A. Wing are
having pretty contest in the Fifth
ward. It is rather early to make any
predictions, although it looks at the
present writing as though the pres
ent incumbent has decidedly the best
of the game. -,
Frank Schaffer has as his opponent
in the Sixth ward, Martin L. Fraser.
OF course no one disputes Mr.. Schaf-
fer's ability. to carry the ward. His
record in the council ought to insure
him the vote Of every Workingmen in

| Alderman. Barnes realizes that he
has a. fight on his hands in the Sew
enth ward, and so he is entering this
campaign with a stronger determina-
ton to win then he ever had before
Moses .:Fliatrault; the Democratic can
didate, knows "a thing or two about
politics, and there isr good reason fo1
Mr.. Barnes to be on the anxious seat
In the Eighth ward there are two
good men: running for Aldermans: One
