AUDITOR ] IRRAHMER R
AGAIN A CANDIDATE
He Files for denomination,
Much 10 Regret of Repub-
s, lean Politicians

The hopes of the shrewd Republican
politicians that Edward G. Krahmer
could be induced to ferege his ambition
to be a candidate for4-re-election as
county auditor were blasted yesterday
when Mr.. Krahnler deposited $40 with
himself; thus declaring that he proposes
to make an effort to again be the Re
publican candidate for the Office he
now. holds.
With surprising unanimity the Re-
publicans admit that If Krahmer gets
the nomination, and they say that it
will be difficult to defeat him, he will
will be an additional load to the ticket,
whiehtis expected ITO, be heavily weight
ed with dead timber in the shape of a
number of Objectionable candidates for
county commissioners. For weakness,
however, Krahmer admittedly overtops
all others, being compelled to face a
| record Of apparent incompetence, add
ed to a display of rank partisanship
that has gone tosthe extent of almost
denying Democrat his rights as a
citizen because of his politics.
1t is altogether likely that Krahmer
will have opposition in his own party
for the nomination, and to some extent
this may be due to his meddling with
the situation in an effort to carry out
his pet partisan plan of having a Scan
dinaVian on the ticket. Krahmer de-
sired that a Scandinavian opponent
be found for Peter J, Metzdorf, the
county treasurer, and has to all ap-
pearanees stirred up one of the ma
tionalfty as an opponent TO himself in
the person of Charles V. Moberg. who
was connected with the county audi
tors office for several, years, leaving
when -Krahmer reduced his salary.
Moherg is regarded as strong man.
Other Burdens to Bear
In addition to Krahner there are
evidences that Republican nominees
for county commissioners will line up
with him.. Gregory P. Ritt has filed
for the nopination and has the sup
port of the machine that is backing
Krahmer. Ritt is employed by a con-
Germ that makes business of acquiring
tax titles, and membership on the board
would be very handy. Mic Pottgieser
willS lfKe1yi be nominated for a second
term raso commissioner
1t is practically conceded by the
Republicans that Phil c. Justus will
be sthe pagty's nominee for sheriff, and
it is conceded from the same source
that he will be easily defeated. 1t is
| openly predicted. that Justus' effort to
smash the precedent holding that nc
sheriff shall have a third term will
end disastrously. Justus is max
| ing noisy campaign for the nomina-
ton, while his; opponents are seldom
| heard from. -- ). E7a
Everything points to the nomination
| by the Republicans of the weakest
| county ticket put UP in years.

any light on the incident of the naming

REPAIRS HIS FENCES

Congressman G. B. Buckman. of Lit
tie Falls, who nearly lost the Repub-
lican nomination in his district two
years ago to Col. A. F. Foster, of Litch-
field, is determined to make an aggres-
sive fight for a second nomination. and
there have been several conferences of
his friends at the Merchants hotel in
st. Paul during the past few days, in
which plans for prosecuting his cam
paiSn have been formulated.
Representatives of his constituency
in Todd, Hubbard and Wadena coun-
ties met at the st. Paul hotel Tuesday,
and yesterday Buckman met numbers
of his friends. from Sherburne, Wright
and Meeker counties. Buckman's
friends claim that his opponents big
vote two years ago was because Buck
man made no campaign prior to the
primaries, and that he will take no
such chances this year Foster is busy
campaigning the district and Buckman
is perfecting an organization in every
county in the Sixth. Bert Oakley,
whom he appointed to the receivership
of the Cass Lake land office from
Wright county, has obtained a ten
days leave of absence and is working
in Wright county! -
Foster sentiment is said to be strong
in Wright, but the Buffalo Journal of
last. week expressed an alleged pop
ular disappreval of both Foster and
Buckman and said that either Public
Printer A. n. Dare, of Elk River, or
Senator r. B. Brewer would be well

POLITICS DULL EAST
Duluth Republican Says Inter.
est IS Slight

"Never in my experience have I seen
SO little apparent interest in politics as
prevails in Pennsylvania and New
york" said o. D. Kinney, the we'll
known Duluth mining man, yesterday.
1 am just returning to Duluth from
a seven weeks stay in my old state of
pennsylvania and in New York, and
men who usually talk politics in and
out OF season cannot be interested in
the subject. The weather has been
pretty hot down that way, and that
may have something to do with the
TACT. but 1 ascribed it to the unusual
political conditions that prevail
throughout the country. There are no
vital issues between the Republicans
and the Democrats, such as there were
in some of the recent national cam
paigns. On every issue involving the
welfare and the preservation of the
institutions of the country the two
great parties differ but little. They
both mean to do what is best for the
country, and the difference in the
methods that they would employ are
only in detail. 1 have no doubt the
country will do business no matter
how the election may go.
Judge Parker is a sound man. and
Eastern people feel that he can be
trusted. There is not that fear about
his candidacy that sometimes happens
when a Democrat is being doomed for
office. and the New York judge will
probably get many votes that no Dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency
has been given in a good many years.
Eastern people are not losing any
sleep over the presidential PROPOSE
ton"
Mr.. Kinney is a prominent Repub-
lican, with large mining interests at
the head of the lakes. He came to st.
Paul to spend the day with a party Of
Scranton (Pa.) knights Templar who
were on their way west to attend the
Knights Templar eonclave at San
Francisco. Mr.. Kinney provided car
riages that they might see the city.

Attorney Bell Says He Was
Disloyal to Trust

DR.. T. E. w. Villiers Appleby was
scored yesterday in probate court by
Charles N. Bell, one of the executors
of the Wilder and Appleby wills.
Or. Appleby has little claim to fa-
Vors in this court" declared Mr.. Bell.
s"He has failed to do his duty in the
trust imposed on him by his dead wife.
He has been disloyal to that trust. He
is now attempting to break an ante
nuptial agreement made with his wife,
and is also hampering the adnninistra-
tion of the estate and. the placing of
the charity upon a1working basis.
Had he not interfered with the ad-
ministration .fef the estate. and. inter-
posed his objections, mainly for delay,
the Charity might be in operation to-
day, when it is most needed, with the
suffering condition of the poor incident
upon the 4eyclone damage" - n
An order for the payment ito DIR.
Appleby of the $4,000 due him as part
payment of the $4,000 annuity he is to
receive under the provisions of the will,
came Before Judge Bazille, but, was, .un-
signed by the court after a. protest had
been entered by E. S. Durnent, counsel
for DR.. Appleby.
DR.. sAppleby yesterday withdrew all
objections to the payment of annlii-
ties under the will when he asked for
the order allowing him $1,000 as the
first installmeft of his $4,000 a year
annuity. The executors, according to
C. N. Bell, were perfectly willing to
pay the money, provided that it should
be directed by the court that $3.50, eco
worth of securities should be set aside
as the .Appleby trust" which was to
secure the $4,000 annuity. If any sum
IN excess of $4,000 accrued during the
year.. it was to be turned over to the
general estate. s@44c5 s
The objection Of Dr., ,Appleby to this
plan was based On the contention that
the court could not set aside any prop
erty even unGeE the will without hav-
ing made a final decree of distribution
of the entirefestate.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by Judge Razille.

@Is.there another cyclone coming?"
This question, repeated again and
again, kept busy yesterday afternoon

for the first time since the big storm.
"a few, dark clouds were visible and a
light wind was blowing from the south
west, where the cyclones live.

server Oliver cheerfully. And there
wasn't. The temperature was warmer,

worse than thunder storms last night.

The temperature will probably remain

SHOOTING RANGE

Commission Appralses Prop
erly to Be Added to the Fort
Smelling Reservation

+ The commission appointed to con-
denim S45 acres of land in the vicinity
of Fort Smelling, to be used as a rife
range for the garrison, has made it's
report and it was filed in the United
States district court yesterday.
The commissioners were B. F. Mel
son, Alexander McCune and Thomas
Downs, all of Minneapolis, and they
appraised the property to be con-
demned at $112,9OO, which is somewhat
in excess Of the appropriation of
$4,000, but it is believed the govern
ment will accept the award and con-
gress will appropriate the funds to
meet the deficiency.
When this land is placed in condi-
ton Fort Smelling will have one of the
best target ranges and drill grounds
CT any post in the country.
The tract lies south of the reserva-
tion, along the Minnesota river, is ir-
regular in shape and at one end there
is high bluff. which will afford ex-
cellent protection to the surrounding
country from stray bullets.
The addition to the reservation will
permit the more elaborate maneuvers
of modern warfare and will make
Smelling desirable post. The prin-
cinal awards were as follows:
