'sThe Office of corporation attorney
was never so well filled as now. James
| G.. Michael is gentleman, and his
duties are performed ably, conscien-
| tiously and in a kind manner. Those
| having business with the office are
| united in the opinion that never in the
past has it been filed by SO kindly,
| courteous and able a gentleman as
now. Take it all the way through.

| The material for a magnificent ticket
is before the Democratic voters. I wish
could vote for them all, but if you

| selection for the assembly than you
can possibly make on the other side"
! Mr.. OBrien emphasized the need of
| getting out large vote on the first
| primary day, and said that under the
primary system and a full vote there
was no question of any dictation in

effect of a heavy vote in the primaries
| and said it would sbe message to the
state and nation that the Ramsey

The speakers were frequently inter-
rupted by applause, and the meeting
was, from every standpoint, a pro-
nounced success. A colored quartette

solos.
John c. Thaung, an undertaken, has
/ given out the statement that the Re
publicans will have to reckon with him
when it comes to making the nominal

The contest for the places as dis
trict delegates from the Second con-
gressiona1 district to- the Republican
| convention to be held at Mankato
March 16, promises to develop pretty
fight. George w. Somerville, of

factions to settle the matter for them
selves.

Stearns county, however. as his very
own.
In addition to the gubernatorial and
