I ernor Inclined to Force the Fighting
Against jacobson - Buckman's Oppo-

Prairie--Rockne May Get Into Speaker
ship Contest.
The Garfield club BANQUET in Duluth
last night did not develop any political
sensations or Harmony incidents. 1t
was significant that julius Block was the
only candidate for state office on the pro-
gram. BLOCK is said to have an organiza-
.ion IN Duluth, and is making quite bid
1or r., the st. Louis county delegation.
mere IS little change in the, status Of
growing opinion that the candidacy Of
Dlment has dealt fatal blow to Lord
ny ropblng him of the solid first district
IL mas deprived him Of the positive
serength his friends were counting on.
IL Deglns to look like jacobson against
Inc neid. With the man from Lac qui
rare on the eve of an announcement,
ms forces are talking confidently of sue
cess: lie has a good prospect now of
getting a third of the delegates in the
convention, but that is long way from
d nomination, and the supporters of the
otner candidates will be against jacobson,
as tney were in the fight for state audi
tor TOUR years ago. They will conoen-
trate II necessary to beat him. If Block
SHOWS the greatest strength the forces
opposed to Jacobson will probably rally
to him. They may start a, rush to somer,
vil!es or TO some dark horse like Hanson
Sole or stephens. 1t will be anything to
beat Jacobson @, - -
Jacobson does not want the nomination
with a fight, and has no desire to make
tne run unless he is supported by united
party For this reason he will not allow
MS supporters to go in with trough
mousse tactics. If the contest develops
bitterness, Jacobson is as likely to with
ufaW MIS- name as anything. = 's+a -
senator E. b. Wood Of Long Prairie is
quite likely to be the man who will go
a1ter congressman Buckman's scalp. He
. mas displayed good running qualities in
the Iodd- Wadena-H hubbard district, which
IS a good Slice of the sixth, and is known
as hghter who loves a+fight He has a
record IN the civil war, and as captain
/ IN the Fourteenth Minnesota in the. Span
ish-American war. He has been free
lance In the state senate, fond of gun
ming Tor Woodchucks, and frequently
Young no. on general principles Wood
mas tight at home, where the w. E. Lee
iact1on already has man in the field to
oe1eat MIN for the senate, but he is un-
derstood to be looking the ground over
since Brewers withdrawal. with the idea
OF ming for congress.
| Reports that Senator Lord Is about to
Withdraw from the governorship race are
all bosh,' says s. A. Langum in the
preston Times. Lord has made no cam
palgn, and hence has nothing to withdraw
He stands where he was at first-merely
receptive candidate. If the republicans,
when the convention meets, shall con-
Crude that he is the most available man
ne Will gladly accept the nomination and
ne Will then make a. campaign that will
astonish the natives If some other man
is nominated he will support the nom
NEE, as he has always done in the past
Friends in all sectionsHof the state are
looking after the interests of the quiet
modest man from Kasson, but neithe,
they nor he will attempt to force his
nomination onto the party. This is not
the year for such childish, work" ...,
The last remark is evidently a dig al
the attitude of some jacobson supporters
who are insisting that unless jacobson is
nominated Johnson will be re-elected.,

no politics on the bench, and he is ever tfearles

Another probable candidate for speaxe,
of the house Is A.. J. Rockne of Yum
brota, who has been a member for TIVE
sessions. Last year he was chairman O
the rules committee and one Of Speake,
Cague's right-hand man. With N. F
Hugo already in the field, and with L. II
Johnson, W. I. Nolan, J. r. Morley AM
w. A. Nolan also looking over the bar
(fence bars) there is a fair prospect TO
speakership politics.

to be critically i'll at Nassau, in the Ba

and has gone to join him. ::
With Julius >schmahl running for sec
