Some Of Bob Dunn's friends are adj
vising him to leave st. Paul and Mime
apolis for a little while. and look after his
fences in northern Minnesota. They re-
port that fights are on in a number of
counties that were supposed to be solid
for Dunn. AS for the twin cities, they
will have their own candidates for other
places on the ticket. and the work that has
been done lately has not brought results.
They want the candidate to get to work
outside. and save his fences from the
threatened wreck.
Philip Liesch of New Ulm. a member of
the state central committee, has come out
for Dunn in his paper, the Brown County
Journal He was counted a Dunn man
when in st. Paul at the recent meeting OF
the committee. Brown county has g.
somewhat mixed situation on account of
Louis G. Vogel of New Ulm and his can
didacy for state treasurer.
H G. Hays, formerly Of Sleepy Eye, but
now publisher Of the Bemidji Sentinel,
discusses the Vogel candidacy in rather
caustic fashion. He says:
L. G. Vogel is the county auditor Of
Brown county, and has been county audi
tor for six or eight years. He is for
Vogel for county auditor again, but on the
side is getting some mention as a candi-
date for state treasurer. He is fairly
good sort and down in Brown can get
more votes than any man on either ticket
in the county. He is a tireless worker for
himself during campaigns and has a rat
thing good time almost every day in the
year. Louis isn't a great man, perhaps,
but he is just as good an accountant as
Block and good deal more German He
has lots of friends and plenty Of enemies
lis not as good party man as a man
should be, who asks specitl and particular
favors of party. Louis is young enough
to wait awhile Or until he has established
reputation Of standing for his ticket
He ought to do little team work. The
republicans Of Brown would have elected
the treasurer had Vogel played good ball
last campaign We hope he will make
good hereafter and then sail In and win
anything he may want. The old guard in
Brown will see to that every commendable
bit of panty work he does is credited to
him. At this writing the party owes him
not a. thing.
| Joseph G. Miller has made no an
nouncement of his intentions, but an edi-
torial IN his home paper, the Iron Trade
Journal of Two Harbors, indicates that he
is candidate for denomination and re-
| election to the railroad and warehouse
commission. Millers strong support four
| years ago came from railroad employees
and organized labor generally, but the
| candidacy of W. A. Hammond of st. Paul
| means that that important factor will not
| be Miller's undisputed property this time.
The Rochester Post and Record SAYS:
Mr.. Dunn's explanation seems very
lame. He says, however, that he Endorses
the merger clause of the last republican
state platform, that he is opposed to rail-
way monopoly, that he will enforce the
laws if elected, and that if judicial inter-
probation makes those laws ineffective
| will vote for new and effective legisla-
ton. Had he made this statement when
he announced his candidacy for the gov
ernorship, he would have saved himself
| much embarrassment, and his sincerity
would not be SO open to doubt as is his
| late pronunciamento."
