Two republicans undertook to- test the
sentiment of section of the ninth ward
on the governorship Saturday evening.
One was a Collins man. and one Dunn
man, and they went together up Central
avenue from Eighteenth avenue NE to
Twenty-eighth avenue, interviewing all
the republicans on the way. They saw
fifty three republican voters, Of whom
eighteen expressed preference for Dunn,
thirty one for Collins and four for Eus-
tbs. They were also asked to declare
themselves as to their choice on congress-
man, between the two candidates now be-
fore the public eye There were eleven
expressions for Loren Fletcher and thirty
two for Frank NJ. Nye.
The Breckenridge Telegram, which has
fought r. J. Wells in past campaigns, an
nounces that Mr.. Wells will be a candidate
IA nay
will give him what support it. is capable
of. The next house will certainly not GO
begging for candidates for speaker, even
II three or four Of them. should fail &c
be elected. There are already in sight

Frank Eddy has struck9 the twin cities
again on his tour of personal campaign
ing for the governorship, and says he
still considers his chances as good as any
ones. He does not consider conventions
an infallible criterion of sentiment, as at
the last state convention Collins men were
sent as delegates from Dunn counties and
Dunn men from Collins counties. He
sizes up the delegates to the national
convention as six for Dunn and sixteen
anti-Dunn, while the alternates are six
teen for Dunn and six anti-Dunn..
The fifty second legislative district
promises to be the scene of a lively cam
paign this fall. Aitkin county has the
senator, who holds over, but the other
three counties all have candidates for the
house, with two places to fill. A. L. Cole
of Walker and Sievren Swanson of Moose
Lake. who represented the district in the
last house, are candidates for reelection.
swanson has no opposition in Carlton
county, but ]. S. Scribner may be put
up by an element in Cass county hostile
to Cole. Itasca county has two candidates
already. III. R. King, former auditor, who
has been mentioned for railroad and ware
house commissioner, has decided to try
for the house, and a.. A. Seaman of Deer
River is also preparing to enter.
The forty ninth district twill also be the
scene of considerable activity. Dr.. David
Graham OF Duluth viii not be a candidate
1or reelection, and George J. Mallory.
VINO preceded him for two terms. will he
candidate again. T.. A. Barnes of West
Duluth may oppose him. p. e. Bowling
81 EVeleth is candidate again, and he
IS pretty sure to have opposition on the
range Ex-Mayor Eaton of Virginia and
William Brown of Hibbing are mentioned
as possibilities. @i@o.l7s0 : = - -
The Milan Standard observes:
DoWnng's political stock was quoted
oeioW par at Ortonville Wednesday. An
alliance seemed to have been formed be-
tween the Volstead postmaster contingent
ana b. T.. Young's friends who are push
ing him for attorney general. It was a
i rs Tor Bowling. But the Renvile
statesman has always been known for his
ABILITY to hit back. He got in neat blow
when ne got the convention to indorse
crank M. Eddy for governor. This was
toS embarrass him.
Friends Of NJ. J. Bowling saystheysdo
not expect him to become a candidate for
congress this year, but to give CONGRESS-
man Volstead clear field, and get ready
ior Two years from now. Dowling is
deeply engrossed in his business at Olivia
