famous corporation law is we'll quail
fed to serve in the cap tcity mentioned
and it will be found that he has many
supporters in the delegation from the
southern counties.
Although election is still many
months away, considerable interest is
beginning to be manifested in county
politics and aspirants for Office are
commencing to appear. Not all the
positions are being sought for, except
by the present incumbents, but it is
apparent that there is to be hard
fight for at least one billet.
County Auditor Louis c. Vogel is
to be candidate for reelection and
will go before the people at the pri-
maries with the avowed intention of
securing the republican nomination.
1t is his wish to remain in Office until
the work upon the county jail is
brought to completion and the voters
arevery likely to see that he is returned
for another term. They know him as
tried official, a strong campaigner
and a man whose strength, in the last
two years, has increased and not di-
minished. At the present time there
is every indication that he will not
have opposition at the polls. One
New Ulm man who was being groomed
as his successor has already an
nounced that he will not enter the race
and Sleepy Eye politician has also
declared that he will keep his ambi-
ton in allegiance.
For county treasurer, however, there
is a wealth Of material. Treasurer
John Schneider will not step down
without a struggle but there is excite
ment ahead of him at the primaries.
There he will be opposed by Andrew
Amann, at present a member of the
New Ulm city council, and the latter
has put aside all his business cares in
order to enter the campaign in light
marching order. His strength is moi
a known quantity but his showing in
the city may be sufficient to Offset the
Schneider influence in the western enc
of the county.
/ In the republican camp there are
three prospective candidates. Capt
Frank Burg, who made such a strong
fight two years ago, is undecided
whether he will announce himself OF
not but may conclude to come out latel
on. August Windorn is said to b.
distributing cards and soliciting sup
port and Peter Mertz of Sleepy Eye, il
credited with making plans to ente
the arena.
Five officials for whom there is NJ
declared opposition are Representative
S. D. Peterson, Judge of Probate S

Davis Bill Held Up.

The bill introduced by Representa-
1--WE Davis authorizing the construc-
zion of stationary bridges across the
Minnesota river struck another snag.
Col. Mackenzie, chief of engineers,
now interposes an objection. He states
shat only draw bridges should be con-
structed across the Minnesota. The
bill as it recently passed the house
was drawn in accordance with sugges-
lions made by the engineering branch
Of the war department, although Col.
Mackenzie did not himself indorse the
measure in writing. Representative
Stevens has received letter from the
department in which Col. Mackenzie
states that the bill should be amended
10 meet the wishes of the department.
A conference will be held by members
Of the delegation to determine what
course shall be pursued.
