POLITICS AND
POLITICIANS

Most of the candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for county offices
spent the week on the ranges. G. @.
Nelson, who seems to be the leading
candidate for the legislature in the
Forty ninth district, made a decided
hit at Hibbing. Everything indicates
that he will be nominated by a hand
some majority. P. p: Bowling, Of Eve
leth, Will, IN all probability, be Mr.
Nelson's running mate.
joke on George Mallory, who is the
candidate against G. O. Nelson for the
Republican nomination to the legisla=
ture in the Forty-ninth district. 1t
says, that Mr. Mallory doesn't know
very much about politics. and then
INDUCES in a few generalities about
his fitness for office. TO say George
Mallory knows nethingy about politics
is to say that he does rot, know amy
thing. for: Mr.. Mallory. has been In no
other business since Ne came to Duluth.

have the lead. G. T. Cranhall may
prove a stronger candidate than we ex=
pect. The apathy of the people in this
campaign makes It rather difficult to
give any forecast Of the outcome. One
thing is certain, however, Andrew Mil
Ter, the fourth candidate, is not in the
race, This is conceded hy every poll
tician In the district. and even by Mr..
Milier's warmest friends.
The contests in the several county
commissioner districts, which started
out rather tamely, has developed into
regular whirlwind fights. In the First
district, p. B. Fox is making a hard
fight against E. R. Patterson. At first
his candidacy was not taken Seriously,
but he has succeeded in lining up some
mighty strong politicians like A. p.
Cook, Hugh Fawcett and a number Of
Others Just like them. Mr.. Patterson,
who moved about rathed leisurely at
first, now recognizes that he has a
fight On and LIP IN the thick Of the fray
with his coat off working like Tro-
jan. From a Democratic standpoint
it. matters little who gets the Republi-
can nomination, for it is expected that
Hector Mclean, the Democratic neni-
nee, will be able to defeat either Of
them.
In the third commissioner district,
there Is q regular cat and dog fight.
Ths eampatsn for the Republican noini.
nation IS being made on all kinds of
issues. In one place 1t is the saloon
against the church, In another it is
.aall nations against the scandinavians;
I'm still another it is politicians
against business men. There are
five :candidates. for the Republican
nomination, as follows: :. Axel ziin-
mernaan, asslstant city clerk; John
sundeen, graeer; n. 6. Sloan, real
estate; c. J: Tufte, druggist, and ]. w.
Cummings, oil man; The Democratic
nominees !f ness, are @. A.. Berg, grocer. and
the present incumbent, and VIM. Ber-
1iard, a well known citizen of the Sew
eenth ward. f the Democrats renorai-
nate Ole Berg they viii have no trouble
in electirlg>< him, Should they fail to do
this they may consider that they have
fight on their Glands:
