SiSaiiii5 III That ONCE WneIher .sA1r.
Allen or Fred E.. Wheaton, the Demo-.
cratic candidate, is elected
-. The rotund Michael w. Nash, whose
business for the last score of years
mas been county commissioner, will not
nave any connection with the affairs
OF the people after Jan. 1. He has been
defeated for denomination and yester-
day he. wandered about the great court
house taking fond farewell of the
scene of his accomplishments He will
be succeeded by Republican or a
Democrat, but he is out of the running.
For congress "Uncle Loren. Fletcher
will be candidate for another term
He defeated a field of four and his
nearest competitor was several, thou,
sand votes behind him.
Although the defeat of -Dickey for
clerk of the court caused consterna-
ton in some quarters, the vote that AL
j. Smith received oyersC, S. -Jeiley Re-
publican candidate for county attor-
ney, startled even his most loyal sup
porters. Smith leads Jelley by at least
LOO votes.
Haynes Has Easy Race
Mayor Haynes, candidate for renom-
ination on the Democratic ticket, had
a walkaway. He defeated Oryille Rine-
hart, his opponent, by a vote at least
four to one. and r. r. Odell was not in
the contest
The contest between Dan C. Brown
and c. A. Nimocks, of tax rebate fame,
for the Republican nominal ton for city
comptroller. has been an exciting one,
but Brown is several hundred votes to
the good. sps
Sam It. Johnson, public examiner,
was second in the race for the Repub-
lican nomination for city treasurer,
and there were only two men in the
contest.
Judicial Ticket Surprise
The Hennepin judicial ticket, on both
sides, has Disguised the men who have
sought to have a district bench of the
caliber which Hennepin county should
have.
On. the Republican ticket Horace
Danforth Dickinson leads the ticket.
He has served as municipal judge for
| four years. He was nominated under
the first primary In 1900 and received
something like 1900 votes out of to-
tai of 10000. There were seven can
didates in the field. Previous to this
he was third assistant city attorney.
He stands high in some secret orders
and with an ability to secure votes he
has led the judicial ticket on the Re-
publican side.
Judge A. M. Harrison, at present a
member of the bench is the second
man in the race. He is the man who
refused to nolle the indictments against
former Mayor Ames, and although he
had strong opposition, he has won out.

IN the next city council. Six of the re-
firing aldermen, Messrs. J. S. Lane. of
the Second; S. e. Adams, of the

changed his politics in 1896 and de-
clared himself silver Republican
