Capt Chas C. Whitney, of the Marshall
News Messenger says Hon. Geo. Somerville OF
Brown county is the strongest canaoate TOT
Governor among the seven named for that posi-
fion. and predicts that either Jacobson, Somer-
willie. Cole or Block will bring down the plum,
with fair chance for Secretary of State Hanson
as dark horse.
E. A. Nelson, of Hallock, one of the candi-
dates for the Republican nomination for secre
fary of state was in Morris in the interest of his
candidacy on Saturday. Mr.. Nelson was tor
anerly state librarian, and was prominently con-
meet ID with the Collins fight last campaign.
He is clean young who has made many
friends turnout the state He bases his political
claims for the nomination upon the fact of his
residence in the northern part of the state,
(which has few aspirants for state office, and also
on the fact that he is Swedish American, and
that the Swedes have no chance of getting any
of the other places on the state ticket.

The political writer has made attempt to
forecast the strength of the various gubernator-
ial candidates at Duluth the first ballot
The estimate appears to have been fairly made,
and gives the following results:-J acobson,
with seventh and portion of sixth, $685. Block,
with third and part of fourth, 1885, Cole parts of
sixth and eighth, l65; Stephens part of ninth,
1923; Somerville, second 100; Lord aud Diment,
with divided first. Hennepin and Ramsey
for the most part left out of this estimate
jacobson is in the lead according to this, but
it is easy to see that it will take more than two
ballots to nominate.
S
The papers seem to be at sea in the matter
of a candidate for lieutenant governor, yet only
the number of candidates from the seventh dis
trct can account for the fact that Frank Clague
has not been suggested for the place. The
office this year must go to man who will give
the people a square deal in the makeup of
the committees, and Frank will not only do that,
but he will make excellent presiding officer
besides. Of course would not seriously sug-
<yest that the Seventh district go after every
place the state ticket but no better man and
probably not good as Frank Clague
will be nominated, and if opportunity offers, his
. name should be presented.
Wilmar is going to have a straw board
factory There is reason why Morris should
not have some industries of this kind to work
up the raw material produced here and sell it
as the finished product rather than as raw
material It is better for the community, and
makes the community much more prosperous
when the wheat is sold flour, the straw is
sold as straw-board, the flax straw is sold as
roes or Irvine, the hides as leather the corn as
hogs, fdhe hogs dressed meat, the potatoes as
starch the cream as butter and so on thru all
. the various things produced here. Estate de-
H@velopment' is getting much attention these
days. Let us also here something of County
development" and "city Development"
S t
They have been trying to get up tariff
debate down in the second district between
Eddy, revisionist, and Gutterson the candi-
date opposed to McC1eary the other How
ever Eddy enuncated a platform of tariff
vision thai is self-evidently correct that Nc
Gleary would not dare oppose it on the stump
tho he would not endorse it. NcCleary
wishes the question stated along the same lines
as the last national platform, which there
IS no chance for an argument. That platform
