II this thing keeps up there will bel
enough candidates for railroad and ware
mouse commissioner to call a convention
OF their own. John King of Walker chair
man or the board of county, commissioners
or Cass' county, has announced his can
didacy, and will have a strength Of his
own In the north end Of the sixth dis
trlct, as well as in parts of the eighth and
ninth. He is also well-known in the SEQ
ohd district, where he formerly resided.
The second district may yet present a
candidate of its own, and L. p. Hunt of
Mankato admits that he Is considering
the proposition. He has been urged to
enter the race. Other prominent second
district men who have been offered sup
port have turned down the idea. 81
Ihe roll of candidates and possibilities

trst district, Hunt in the second, Ham
mond In the fourth, Sargent in the fifth,

Frank Zins of st. Cloud. who Is a Par
ker candidate for one Of the sixth district
delegates to the democratic convention.
takes issue with the remark of a Hearst
man quoted in this column recently. that
everybody was for Hearst except the Irish
democrats. fle says the German demo-
Gratis In Stearns county and everywhere
as far as he can learn, are opposed to
hearst: and that stearns is sure to send
an anti-Hearst delegation to the conven-
ton. J. D. Sullivan of st. Cloud is look
ing after Mr.. zins' campaign.
1t Is an encouraging sign for the demo-
Gratis Of Minnesota, after the DISCOURAGE
ment Of the last election to find that
| there are enough Of them left to have a
fight. - :
H. T.. Buck, chairman, Of the democratic
state committee, was In ST. Paul yester-
day. He does not declare himself on the
presidential candidacy, but sticks to his
recent statement, declaring his unwilling
ness to turn the party over to the "reor-
gan1zers." It looks as tho Judge Buck
was not inclined to follow the lead Of his
friend Rosing in this matter

John W. Mason Of Fergus Falls. who IS
a candidate for the republican judicial
nomination in the seventh judicial dis
trict, to oppose Judge Baxter interviewed
a number 70 the attorneys Of his district

The Albert Lea Times says: =
R. c. Dunn is branded deep as the candidate
OF the merger and railways, lumber interests
iron and steel trust.
TO which the Spring Valley Sun, 9
| Dunn paper, rejoins:
Well, If the above combination can't elect Dunr
he deserves to be beaten to standstill.
/ J.. w. Stokes made "secession" tall
at the meeting Of the Sixth Ward Re
publican club last evening. The fifth ware
has monopolized legislative representa-
ton since the primary election law wen
into effect, and is likely to do 1t again
Mr.. Stokes was one Of the defeated can
didates in 1900, and his turning dow
leads him to propose radical measures
He would combine with the democrats
giving them two house candidates, an
letting the sixth ward republicans nam
two. He did not explain how the sixt
: ward democrats were to: be taken car
, Of If they are given one of the demo
cratic candidates in such deal, Their
; Will only be one fifth ward man on tn
, ticket, which would need fifth ward vote
badly. The sixth warders make a Jus
demand for representation, but 1t Is nc
likely that they will go so far as t
rebel.
