Frank Clague Of Lamberton, one of the
leading candida ties for speaker of the next
house, may have an opponent in Redwood
county for renomination. The Redwood
Gazette, published by Julius Schmahl, who
Is candidate for reelection as chief
clerk of the house., notes the fact that
A. D. Stewart of Redwood Falls is being
urged to get into; the race. The ambi-
tons of Clague and Schmahl clash con-
s1derably, and it Would4,not be surprising
if they had trouble at home.
Other speakership candidates have their
troubles. r. ]. Wells of Breckenridge is
having lively contest for denomination,
with George w. Bilsborrow Of Wolverton
for his opponent. W. B. Anderson of Wi
mona, who has not announced himself but
is. credited With speakership ambitions,
has very active opponent at the pri-
maries in George D. French W. A.
Nolan of Grand Meadow and N. F. Hugo
OF Duluth have plain sailing in their home
districts SO far. S. O.aMorse of Slayton
mas no opponent now, but is likely to
have trouble later on.
w. q. Verify, secretary of the new state
central committee, does not agree with
his gubernatorial candidate about the pri-
mary election law. He is not only opposed
| to extending it to state officers, but does
not think much of it as: a system, on
account of it's designating influence
He also takes occasion in his Wadena
Tribune to reopen the controversy over
! those famous bolts with another last
word saying:

Editor Wollan of the Glenwood Gopher
has received a letter from the republican
candidate for governor, impugning his
veracity, his political honesty and a few
other things. He replies straight from
the shoulder:
We said nothing about Mr.. Dunn before til,

stand by it. If Mr.. Dunn thinks he is pursuing
a wise course by handing out such accusations tt
those who saw fit to antagonize7 his candtdac!

A policy of Cancellation on his part would appea

better results. Pope county is the banner repub

circumstances he is pursuing very short-sighte
policy. The Gopher doesn't relish being driver
