The Ninth district up to date has
three candidates for railroad and ware
house commissioner. Ira G.. Mills, of
Clay county, is a present incumbent
and is DESTROYS of another term; Ezra
Valentine, Of Wilkin, is a candidate,
and now F.. p. nnif1n, of Beltram1,
has entered the fight. With Attorney
General Douglas, Of Clay, a candidate
for nomination for the supreme bench,
politics in the Ninth bids fair to be
bit strenuous for the next few months.
John King, of sCass county, is being
doomed for place on the district dele.
cation from the Sixth to the Chicago
convention. King is chairman Of the
county commissioners of Cass county
and was auditor of Itasca county some
years ago, but has never broken into
state or district politics. Frank T..
White, of Sherburne, and L. A. Rice, of
of Wadena, who was mentioned some
weeks ago, are other candidates for
places on the delegation.

A number eff men prominent in St.

ocratic headquarters yesterday and

not in sympathy with the attempt OF
a certainsfew to inject politics into the
local Trades and Labor assembly. Ac-
cording to indications: sthe committee
of ten will have trouble with the i

election is over.
IT do not believe that M. J. Bowling,
of Olivia, will enter the congressional
race in the Seventh district" remarked
L. D. Barnard, leading Republican
lawyer Of Renville, who was in the
city yesterday. Mr.. Bowling was
candidate for the place two years ago
and our district gave him strong sup
port. Volstead's santi-reciprocity
speech has opened up the question of
his return, and Bowling has been fire.
quently mentioned as a possible can
didate against him, but I do not look
to see him cut in Bowling is presf-
dent of. bank at Olivia, and it is gem
orally Understood that part of his
business arrangement with a number
of men who have money invested in
the financial enterprise is that he shall
keep out of active politics. There are
many men in the Seventh who favor
Bowling for the place. but it is I'M
probable that he will come out for NOM

Mr.. Barnard says that his section of
the state is especially friendly to Judge
E. A. Jaggard's candidacy for the SUI
preme bench and will line up for e. t.
Young for attorney general as Young
is a resident of the same congressional
district. Sentiment on the governor
ship is pretty well divided between
the friends Of Dunn and Collins.
Senator A. ". Rieke, Of Renvilie
county, who is pronounced Collins

tom Shevlin is a coward, and has
run away at the first sign of trouble, y
declared a Minneapolis politician who
was backing Sheylin as against Lowry
for delegate-at- large to the Republican
national convention, at a st. Paul no.
| tel yesterday. "He was always afraid
of the cars" continued the speaker,
"for everybody remembers that when
| he got into the senatorial fight he laid
down when there was no occasion for
alarm. Now he has left Minneapolis,
| ostensibly for his health, but really
| because Tom Lowry has returned from
| the East and announced himself a can
| didate for delegate Shevlin
| had come out as candidate, had his
picture printed in the newspapers and
\ was apparently a sure enough candf-
date. At the first approach of opposi-
| ton he has quit and left his friends
with only the Lowry 'bandwagon to
climb into. We don't like 1t little
bit, but what can we do about it?"
At a meeting of the Seventh district
| Republican congressional committee
| recently poll was taken of the COM
mittee. The result was Ii for Dunn,
for Eddy and for Collins. The straw
vote is regarded as significant of what
] may be expected from the Seventh in
the stare convention.
| Duluth is naturally much pleased
at the action of the Democratic state
central committee in deciding upon
4 holding the state convention in that
city. In leading editorial the Herald
says:
The Democrats of Minnesota have done
| Duluth signal honor by designating this
i city as the place for. holding their state
convention. This is the first time in the
| history of the state that Duluth has been
| so favored, and all good citizens will join
| with The Herald in expressing to the
Democratic state central committee their
high appreciation of the compliment and
! assurances of neighborly treatment
Now that the ice is broken, at it were,
the chances are that in future Duluth
will fare exceptionally well in the dis
| tribution of these events, because once
| the political delegates begin to enjoy the
salubrious climate at the head of Lake
Superior, it will not take them long to
| form the habit of designating Duluth as
| their preference for convention purposes
While Duluth citizens have their po-
litical preferences, as a matter Of course
when demand is made upon them to act
| in the capacity of host, they know nc
politics, and all will join hands in ex-
| tending cordial welcome to our visitors.
/ 1t is generally hoped that the Republican
| committee will also designate Duluth as
