One of the interesting rumors
Of the past few daysis that Henry
Funkley, of Blackducls, will with
draw his candidacy for county

fight between County Attorney
Loud and Attorney John Gibbons
OF this city and it is generally
agreed that it would make the
fight much more interesting for
Mr.. Loud.

TIE desperate fight of the adj
lministration on Robert G. Dunn
has been apparent to every per
son who has given any attention
to Minnesota politics during the
past few months. The publicex-
aminer's Office has abandoned all
public business to devote it's eff
forts to manufacturing ammuni-
ltion to be used against Dunn.
Food inspectors, factory inspect
ors and grain inspectors have
been chasing up and down the
state, ostensively bent on public
business (strange what a lot of
public business has cropped up
all over the state all of a sudden)
and now Governor Van SAINT is
bringing pressure to bear upon
every appointee to compel him to
/ publicly announce opposition to
Dunn. Insurance Commissioner
Dearth announces that he cannot
longer be for Dunn, although. he
Ideclares that he will do nothing
against him. Adiutant General
Libby still holds out strongly
for Dunn despite the fact that
strong pressure has been brought
Ito bear upon him, but he vii

POIiI'TIGS

Il ~.
Hon. r. N. Eddy, who is cam
paigning in this vicinity this week
in the interests of his guberna
torial candidacy was in ClearWatr.
county this week and says the
gubernatorial fight is warming
up there in good shape. The
fight for the delegation will be a
local one and local issues will en-
ter into it largely. The Collins
cause is championed by B. e.
Brown and Dunn's case is well
looked after. Mr.. Eddy does not
believe the delegation will be in
structed.
The primaries for the election
of delegates to the county cofiyen-
ton will occur in Bemidii next
Tuesday. The city is entitled to
five delegates from each ward.
On the streets the gubernatoi'ial
campaign is being much discus
sed and the contest for the dele
gationfromz this city to the county
convention promises to get inter-
esting. The Collins sentiment
seems to be nihil at present and
those who have been supporting
him are now talking Of an unin-
structed delegation. It is safe to
IsaY that the delegation will be in
structed for Dunn unless there is
IA greatchange from conditions as
they apparently exist atthis time.
