REPRESENTATIVE w. I,.sNolan was inter
viewed on politics. the other day in
Crookston. After expressing the belief
that Folk will be the next democratic
nominee for president, with Bryan,s sup.
port, he said: - y 90 s
"In Minnesota we want combination
of republican forces centered upon one
able, energetic, whole-souled, friend
winning and honest, man, who will be,
able to make an active, aggressive cam
!paign and. win the hearts of his fellow
men,. No dilatory, half-hearted and luke
warm tactics will go, if the grand old
party is to be brought back, to it's seat of
power in the state of Minnesota. Such
a candidate as believe would be cap
able Of making the run which would win
has not yet been mentioned. I hope,
however, that he will be, before the po-
litica1 caldron begins to boil too strong
~ In the, campaign of 'O6. The man who
is looking for political favors, generally,
is the man who will get left, and we want
some real honest, on-the-square American
of Minnesota, who has a little personal
magnetism, to carry the! party banners to
victory another year" ..ys e.. So. -

and look, he will find; the man before ne
returns from northern Minnesota. =.
The Browns Valley Tribune says it has
learned that the object of the senatorial
conferences that have SO far failed to
take place is not so much, to agree on, the
governorship, as to select a suitable man
for lieutenant governor. They will en-
deavor to make. such a strong showing
that the next convention will allow them
the privilege of filling that place on the
or io1
the Tribune, "cares more about who is to
preside and name committees in the SEN
ate at the next session than it does who
is to sit in the governors chair, and have
the appointment Of state librarian and a
few other minor clerical positions Oh
course the senators will make a bluff al
the governorship, and dilly-dally with the
position just enough to throw. the scare
into the various candidates and factions
in the hope of getting easy. concessions
and a clear, right f-way to- name the
candidate. for second place on the ticket
In the final showdown they will argue
that combined body of state senators
high in the councils Of the party in thei1
several districts thruout the state, recog
nized leaders, and willing workers for re
publican Supremacy if not to be permitted
to name the candidate for governor GER
tainly cannot be denied the very small G?
privilege of at least naming the candi
date who is to preside over them in thu
upper house of the legislature
The latest story floating in st. Paul Il
that the E. G. Rogers campaign for con
gress is to be hooked up with a Still
water proposition. = Rogers is extremel!
ambitious to defeat F. G. Stevens at tn
primaries next year, and IS already labor
ing among the. workers to get an 'organ1z
alton. He realizes that Stevens is strong
ly intrenched in Washington and Ch1sag'
| counties, and the plan is to create a di
| version in that direction. On the ple'
| that the small end of the district shoul'
| have something, a Saltwater candidat
| will be brought out to bid for the supper
| Of washington and Chisago, and SO spill
Stevens strength. The general opinion
that Rogers only show lies in some sue
clever back IS firing. lrs<,5. ; i. '-s -
