The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-04-09

for the occasion, the candidate en-
braced this last opportunity to look
over his notes.
A look of deep perplexity came over
his face when he reached the refer
ence to the "Augean stables"
Turning to Schiffman he said, Say,
Fred, where in thunder are the Au-
gean stables?" There was a twinkle in
tTedS eye as he answered, I'm dinged
If know, colonel, but I'm sure they
are not located in my ward. 1 guess
Wen have to ask Mike Fitzgerald. He
butts around all over the city, and he's
sure to have 'em spotted"
The appointment of l.. L. Brown, the
eminent Winona attorney, as attorney
Tor Minnesota and South Dakota for
the North Western railroad, is said to
to remove Brown as a congressional
possibility, and Congressman TaWney,
of the First district, breathes easier.
There are, however, two or three good
Democrats in the district, who, accord
Ing to the Winona Independent, could
make things exceedingly lively for
Tawney in the First.
1t Is claimed that eighty of the nine
ty-six lawyers in the Seventh judicial
district are pledged to the reelection
or Judge L. L. Baxter, of Fergus Falls,
who is an independent candidate. John
W. Mason, of Fergus Falls, will I'M
doubtedly DE his Republican opponent.
The district is Republican by more
than 5000 votes.
John T. Lewis has announced him
self as candidate for the Republican
domination for the lower house of the
legislature In the Eleventh legislative
district. He is a resident Of Judson,
Blue Earth county, and will, it is said,
have strong support.
Il think that the Republicans Of the
Sixth congressional district will give
Congressman Buchanan another term"
said c. M. Sprague, the Sank Center
banker and chairman of the state
poard OF equalization, at the Merchants
last night. buchanan has been doing
good service for his constituents, and
1t seems to be the quite general belief
through the district that he should
nave second term. There are a
number of men in the district who are
laying plans to capture the seat now
held by Buchanan, but these fellows are
agreed that it would not be wise to
throw Buchanan out now and have a
new man in Office who would have the
advantage of a second-term argument
two years hence. / look to see Buck
man land the nomination for another
term"
S. G. Comstock, of Moorhead. former
CONGRESSMAN from the old Fifth Min
nesota dfstrfSt, is at the Ryan en- route
home from his attendance upon the
meeting of the state normal board yes
terday at Winona. "Our part of the
state is committed to the candidacy of
w. b. Douglas for a place on the SUI
preme BENCH Mr.. Comstock said, land
everything else Is subordinate to that
end. There is very little politics be-
Ing discussed and Republicans are
naturally saying little Of their prefer
ences for candidates other than Judge
Douglas"
]. r. Rosenwald, of Madison, rep-
resentative in the last legislature and
member of the Republican state CEN
trail committee, is at the Merchants
meeting the politicians.
William T. Coe, a member of the
Minneapolis bar and a former member
of the house, was at the capitol yes
terday, and said that he looked to see
Frank M. Nye capture the Republican
nomination for congress in the Fifth
district. I'm my opinion, he is the only
man who stands any show Of defeat
ing Congressman John Lind" declared
Coe, and that being the case. 1t is
not surprising that Hennepin county
Republicans should express a prefer
ence for him for the nomination. We
realize that we have a big proposition
on our hands If we defeat Lind for re-
