Every Congressional District Divided In
Its Preference for Governor. and Most
OF the Counties Not Located Vet In Any
Candidates camp-The Contest for
Treasurer.

One feature of the goveanorship contest
IS that there are very few counties in the
state that any one candidate may be said
TO nave In his pocket. No one Is sure Of
a solid congressional district Lord and
D1ment lead in the first, but jacobson has
many friends there. In the second
Somerville and Block will have the largest
following. Block, Will not have the third
solid by any means. The fourth and fifth
are divided and uncertain as to prefer
lIences. The sixth will go largely to Cole,
but viii give jacobson good many votes,
and II Hansons name is presented he
Will have following. The seventh Is not
solid for Jacobsen, but will give dele
gates to Block, Stephens and Cole, prob
! ably. The eighth is uncertain, but Jacob
! son. Cole, Block and Stephens are all
1 likely to get something there Stephens
will lead in the ninth, but the southern
counties are refusing to line up for him.
There will be a contest there between
Jacobson, Block and Cole.
i; Considerable feeling is developing in
some Of the northern counties. The
jacobson sentiment Is strong, but efforts
4 are being made to corral them for some
one else. Cole has the lead in some Of
the counties. but the Stephens boomers
are out to beat both Jacobson and Cole
in such counties as Hubbard. Beltrami,
Becker and Clearwater. The jacobson
men are especially sore at Stephens, and
refuse to admit that he is bona fide
candidate. The st. Cloud Journal Press
claims that 1.-THE king boodler Of the north
ern section of the state" is visiting sew
eral counties and trying to round up
enough to- give sixty-seven delegates
'nominally for Stephens" but pledged to
island together and vote as unit for the
candidate to be agreed upon later.
i The, Cole announcement is calling forth
i considerable comment of a favorable
Z nature. The Fergus Falls journal says
II Cole is popular. in the northern part of
), the state, and eff he carries Minneapolis,
{ St. Paul and Duluth, as it has been as
serted he will, :. it will make him a very
formidable candidate" Senator A. B.
Cole, the candidates brother, is putting
In some hard work. He is strong with
the medical profession, and it is claimed
that he has enlisted the support of many
physicians in all parts Of the state for the
Walker man LIT. H. ri
3 The Staples boom for governor seems
confined to Minneapolis, and is given no
encouragement by Mr.. Staples himself.
He still says he Is a candidate for re-
nomination and for nothing else. Staples
has many friends outside who would rally
to his. support IT, he said the word. but
under present conditions they will do
