SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES.

Mankato, Sept 1.-THE Peoples
party and Democrats of the Jewell
in Jewell City September 16, and NOM
mate a candidate for the state senate.
They don't expect to beat the Republ1-
can nominee. /. D. Young, but they do
think they will give him great chase.
There Is a strong sentiment favoring
the nomination of Slater White 1t is
also claimed there is some antipathy in
Jewell county against Young on account
of an old congressional deal in which it
is claimed David Heron was not treated
fairly by him.
The Jewell county fusionists are
hunting for a man who can beat r. H.
Mcbride for the Legislature. Mcbride
jumped clean into the boss busters
band wagon the first turno ut of the box
and was one of the foremost Repubii-
cans in Jewell county VINO couldn't see
any good in Governor Bailey, hence he
circulated the petition calling out Hoch
Jewell City, Emerson Fischer, is being
talked of. He is a man of education
fine appearance and pleasing address.
He owns several hundred acres of
Jewell county lands.
Hays B. White has openly said that
he is out of politics for keeps. He is the
present state senator from the Jewell
Mitchell district. And yet while he
claims to be out of politics he was one
of the most atcive workers in the late
Republican convention held here. Mr..
w mite is a successful FARMER, ana his
earnest friends wish he might be as
successful in politics as he is on the
farm. If this was the case he would be
the representative of the Sixth district
in congress today. Mr.. White is a
great lover of sport, and last week took
in every horse race, foot race, baseball
and basketball contest on the grounds
of the Jewell County Fair association.
His entertaining good wife accompan-
led him to keep him from making any
bets on the games.
There are rumOrS around that Man
kato will in the near future have an
other newspaper. An old newspaper
man is responsible for the rumor.
there may be one in the future. The
town has two newspapers already, Re
publican and Populist in politics.
There are about half a dozen as
pirantS for would-be state offices I'M
der the next Republican administra-
ton from Mankato. George Case has
the cinch, and he may land the war
denship of the penitentiary. Case has
been there before, and he made a care
full official He is a genial good fell
low, and he is doing all in his power
to pull the entire state ticket through.
The fellows will throw up their hats
and cheer if Case is successful.
r. w. Turner expects to return to
the Republican party next year, some
say. A Republican said to him: "Come
back. Turner, and beg forgiveness for
leaving the Republican party mot
by a long sight" said Turner; there
are no apologies for me to make for
the course 1 have pursued" Turner
is all right, and either party would be
glad to have him in their ranks.
