2 Both Being Doomed by NeIghbors for
3 GovernorshIp-Lomen Formally Enters
the'Race for Secretary Of State.

Owatonna and Austin are both nursing
the boonls of their favorite son candidates
for governor The Austin Register de-
clares that Lyman D. Baird is a candi-
date for governor, and that there Is no
truth in the rumor that he intends to run
for lieutenant governor instead. MIR.
Baird has not made any public announce
ment yet. The Owatonna Journal de-
clares that James M. Diment will an
nounce his candidacy soon, and that he
will state his position in clear and un-
mistakable terms.
The Ada Index OF today contains the
formal announcement Of j. J. Lomen as
a candidate for secretary of state Mr.
Lomen is assistant secretary Of state, and
has been connected with the department
continuously since 1891, serving under the
administrations Of F. P. Brown, Albert
Berg and Peter e. F., Hanson. His an
nouncement has been expected for several
days, and last week he visited Ada, hts
old home, where the "boys" gave him
every encouragement and promised to
stand by him. He will contend with E.3A.
Nelson of Hallock for the ninth district
delegates. The Lomen candidacy means
that George B. Brown, chief clerk in the
office, and son Of the former secretary, F.
p. Brown, will not be a candidate. He
Will support Lomen, and Peter e. Han
son will probably throw his influence in
the scale to help his assistant. While Of
Norwegian descent Mr.. Lomen was born
in Iowa, attended Luther college and the
state university OF Iowa, and has lived
in Minnesota ever since.
