THE FOsTER-BUCKMAN SCRAP.
A St. Paul federal official who hae
Just returned from an extended trip
through the Sixth dietrict brings the
report that Colonel a. F. Foster, of
Litchdeld, is making a warm prelim-
mary fight for the republican nomina-
tion against Congressman Buckman,
says the Duluth News. Tribune. Fos-
ter "went 1t alone two years ago,
and came dangerously near beating
Buckman out at the finish. He with
drew the legal contest inaugurated
against Buckman to determine the
status Of the result of the primaries
and determined to 20 out two years
later. He is touring the district and
holding meetings with the result, it
is said, that he is making inroads on
Buckman' strength.
A number of men who are disafect-
ed at Buckman because of postofice
appointments are giving aid and COM
fort to the insurgent Foster, and
Speaker W. L. Babcock of Wadena.
William E. Lee of Long Prairie and
Former Representative J. Fl. O'Neil]
Of Park Rapids are said to be among
those who are not lying awake nights
in Buckman's 8 interest," Sentiment in
the district, however, is largely in
favor of giving Buckman second
term, and it is doubtful if Foster can
overcome this view to the extent that
it will give him the nomination at
the primaries.
Should Judge Collins, however, land
outside the breastworks in the state
nominating convention. his friends in
the Sixth district-Lis home district
may revolt on Buckman who is 8
pronounced advocate Of the Dunn can
didacy, and complicate matters for
the Little Falls Congressman. This
contingency may arise, and, If II
does, there will be doings in Buck
mans bailiwlck.
