m: the Democratic party against Judge
! M MIC seems to have. abated. 1t
i = =. generally admitted that an attempt
TO defeat him would be futile.
- st'i So
Not much has been heard Of Lack
Miles during the week. It is satd that
ne - putting up quiet but aggressive
campaign, and is permitting no grass
to grow under his feet while visiting
from house to house. Should Miles or
san1ze'a good campaign committee of
young fellows, he would undoubtedly
give the other candidates something to
think about
Last week we did DR.. H. r. Wierick
an injustice. We ignored his canttf-
dacy for county coroner. He is being
supported by that little war horse DR..
Boyer, which means that Dr. Wierick
VIII receive very large vote in this
city. He is resident of TIibbing, and
at present IS deputy coroner up there.
He Is member of DR.. Rudd's staff
of the hospital there, which is the lar
gest on the ranges. He is practically
the only range candidate for nomina-
ton on the county ticket.
The contest for the legislative nomf-
nations in the Ffftieth district is not
arousing very much enthusiasm It is
generally conceded that Andrew Miller
is out OF the race. The main fight is
between Captain Randall, former May
or Lewis and G. T. Crandall Who'll
pick the winner?
1t is said that in the event of Judge
Parker's election that Fred Ryan will
become postmaster in Duluth. Harris
Bennett will land the receivership of
the land office, while A. c. Weiss will
hold the lucrative position Of collector
of customs. IF loyalty to Parker counts
for anything, they certainly will be en-
titled to the plums.
J. Adam Bede is not going to be the
only candidate for Congress in this
congressional: district. Since the
Democratic party has become disor-
ganized by the trust sale at st. Louis
no one has been mentioned for the
nomination in that party. The Public
Ownership party will, however, cut
quite swath with John A., O'Malley,
the railroad fireman from Two Har-
btors
The Public Ownership party of the
Fifty second legislative district will
hold its convention at Carlton on Labor
Day for the purpose Of placing in nomi-
nation two candidates for the 1egisla-
ture. J. E. Nash, the candidate for
governor will be present, and will ad-
dress the voters there at a Labor Day
celebration.
The best boost that Gov. Van SAINT
ever got was the knock that former
Gov. Clough gave him to friend in
Oregon recently. We know OF no man
from Minnesota who is so thoroughly
.despised by itsg citizens as il this same
former governor. while Governor Van
SAINT will go down IN history as one Of
the most serviceable men to the people
that ever occupied the executive chair.
There is MUG speculation as to who
Mayor Cullum will appoint to the office
Of city assessor. The appointment will
be made next month. Had former AL
derman Krumsieg remained In Duluth
he probably would have been offered
the appointment. AS 1t is no one seems
to know who the lucky man will be.
AS Mayor Cullum usually keeps his
own counsel on such matters it is prob
able that we will not know the man
until the appointment is made.
The West Duluth Republicans, just
as we go to press, are having the
greatest time in their history. Bob
Dunn is speaking about Minnesota pol
tiles. while J. Adam Bede has his audi
ence In CONFUSION telling 1t some bran
new stories that he picked up In Wash
ington during his late sojourn there.
The banquet is quite boost for the
natives, and rather cements some brok-
ell ties that have been severed since
the state convention.
