Net majority for Buchanan, 30. *
=. 1t is reported from Meeker county that
in case Buchanan is a winner this time,
ne will have an opponent two years from
now in Colonel Charles H. March of
Litchfeld, the active young republican
who went as one of the sixth district
delegates to the national convention.
Colonel March has cherished conglsss-
sional ambition for some time, and was
not altogether pleased when his towns
man stepped into the ring two years ago.
Consequently he has been credited with
sympathy for Buchanan, both in the for
mer fight and this year. Analysis of the
vote Of two years ago shows that Foster
cut into Buckman's home county of Nor
rison worse than Buchanan did into
Meeker, but the Buchanan men in Meel1er
are still lively.
c.. E. Vasaly, editor of the Little Falls
Herald is one of the leading radicals who
was slow to accept John A. Johnson but
has come into line heartily, as the fol-
lowing shows:
Mr.. Johnson's prospects for election are very
good, and his frank and manly way of meeting
various elements of the party, and particularly
those who for certain reasons had distrusted his
party. Mr.. Johnsons statement to the commit
tee which called on him convinced them Of
his fairness and made them feel that in his cleo
ton the state would secure model governor.
The meeting of the republican state
central committee will be held at 10 am.
Thursday, at the headquarters of the COM
nittee in the Manhattan block, st. Paul.

ward, the eighth.

i years ago has broken out in the severn
4 tenth legislative district The rival cam
i Glidates for the house from Lincoln county
i are Marcus Lauritzen of Tyler and John
Il Mckenzie Of Lake Benton. Lauritzen was
!. one Of the strong Bowling hackers in the
famous 1902 contest, while Mckenzie,
!, who is brother-in-law of Congressman
!. yostead, espoused the cause of the Ora
mite Falls man. The Ivanhoe-Lake Ben

carried the county for Bowling, and also
has landed the county seat for Ivanhoe.

: with. and the Volstead men in these
counties are making trouble for Laurit-
zen.
