The movement to bring the state po-
ntlcal conventions to Duluth is meet
ing with. surprising favor throughout
the state. The Minneapolis Tribune
ed1toriaily commented on the matter the
other day In very favorable language.
Each day brings brighter news from
the Twin Cities, and it.. is more than
probable that the Republican conven-
ton will be held in Duluth.
N. +: Hugo, Harry Skinner, Captain
Randall and P. E. Downing have de-
Chased themselves as candidates for the
legislature. The two first want to go
from the 51st district. Captain Randall
is from the 50th., while P. E. Bowling
Is from the 49th.
Every friend of municipal ownership
should write letter ta-ach candidate
and ascertain how they stand on per-
mlttlng Duluth to issue bonds for the
purpose of acquiring more public util-
tues. Irrespective of party politics the
Labor World stand ready to support
friends OF municipal ownership for the
State Legislature.
F. e. Bowling ought to be sent back
to the legislature this fall. During the
last session he was unusually friendly
to labor legislation. He also stands
right on Municipal: ownership. It is
said that George Mallory is being urged
10 again cross swords for nomination
with Mr.. Bowling.
MOST people are wondering how it is
that Legislative candidates are declar-
ing themselves at this time, but the
secret or the matter is that Senator
Clapps friends are building their fences
oy getting in first with their candidates.
It is already evident that treasurer
Wh1pple and Auditor Halden will have
some opposition for denomination at
the coming election, w. A. Holgate is
TO become a candidate for treasurer,
while A. P. Cook is to go after Haldens
scalp. A merry fight is predicted.
1t is already conceded that w. w.
butchart will again be a candidate for
snerltf. I. j. Armstead is determined
10 land that soft berth but he will have
to go some to defeat Butchart.

1t is Cheadle against the field for
City Clerk. Three Republican alder
men have already signified their inten-
ton of voting for I: Chead1e Every
mean is being employed to whip the al
dermen into line, but they cannot be
whipped. A committee of nine self
appointed ward healers in the Sixth
ward waited upon Alderman Olson TO
induce him to vote against Cheadle.
seven OF these nine were office holders,
and were sent there by higher powers
in the party. Mr.. Olson, however, re-
fused to bulge, and so~-they gave him
up in despair. Outside Of the ward heal
ers most of the Republicans in the
ward recognize the ability Of. Mi.
Cheadle, and his value to the city. They
will endorse, Mr.. Olson for his. vote on
the City Clerk. ~ ~; l.: =,
