And hopes he may feel better soon.

He may be getting relapse.

John G. Lund of Minneapolis is a
strong governorship possibility. A del
egatlon OF twenty prominent republi-
cans from outside the twin cities, most
ly from southern and southwestern Min
nesota, waited on Mr.. Lund at his Of
fees yesterday. promised their support
a candidate. -,
Mr.. Lund has the matter under Sc
rlous consideration, and promised to-
give a definite answer within few
days.
The delegation included three or four
members of the state committee. who
stayed over from the meeting the dav
before, and several other leading re-
to ascertain sentiment on the governor
ship. They found the situation Hin
the air. and a number Of them who
did not feel satisfied with any Of the
| candidates now in the field agreed on
Lund as the most available man. They
stated the case to him yesterday, and
insisted that he would run better than
any one mentioned. -
Mr.. Lund has large business interests,
including his large operations in land
and his recent acquisition Of, the New
Store property. On account of his bust
ness he decided recently to give up the
idea Of running for congress in this
district, which had been kept before
him by some Of his friends. The gov
ernorship. is different matter, as it
does not involve any long absences from
business, and for that reason he may
| possibly conclude to run. AS the dele
cation which waited on Mr.. Lund was
T all from outside Hennepin, he will ma.
| turally inquire somewhat as to the at.
titude of local republicans. He would
not want TO come ont as a Hennepin
| county candidate without ample assur
ances Of local support.
| The hLund men who waited or
| him yesterday believe he will accede
| to their request and become a candi
date if he is assured the necessary back
| ing at home.
| Mr.. Lund was a former resident OF
Candy, and has thousands Of business
and personal friends in the western an6
southern districts Of the state.
