c. A. Lindbergh's nomination in the
sixth district will undoubtedly result to
the benefit of the republican state ticket.
In the first place the Lindbergh men
were generally supporters Of Jacobson
last spring, while the Buckmen men were
for Cole. The Lindbergh men were,
therefore, inclined to be Iukewarm in
their support of Cole, but their success
in the primaries will go long way
toward bracing them up for the state
ticket. Then Lindbergh is Of Swedish
descent, and the Swedish republicans are
being hard pressed to vote for Johnson,
on the plea that they are not given
proper consideration by the republican
party. The nationality has had no rep
resentative on the congressional dele
cation, while the Norwegians have had
Nelson, Volstead and STEVENSON. The
democrats have not only nominated
Swede for governor six successive times,
but this time named DR.. Magnusson, q
Swede and a sixth district man, for Sec
rotary of state. Had Lindbergh been
defeated it would have been next to i'm
possible to hold the Swedes of the sixth
district in line. Now they will be on
their mettle to make a good showing.
Lindberghs nomination destroys all
hope the democrats had Of carrying the
district.
On Monday the Little Falls Transcript
|said:
"a vote against Buchanan now is a
vote for c. J. Gunderson Of Alexandria
two years from now y
This. Of course, was a special appeal
to Little Falls people to keep the con-
gresham at home. 1t is not likely that
Gunderson will oppose Lindbergh. II he
did 1T would be a glorious opportunity
n n in " a three.
cornered fight. Under ordinary circum-
stances Mr.. Lindbergh ought to be good
for ten years or more in congress. Frank
Eddy says he is republican John Lind,
land with a term or two experience he
will make one Of the best men on the
MINI esota delegation.
Before the primaries T h a
predicted that Lindbergh would be NOM
mated. It forecast McCleary's hemina-
ton by a smaller plurality than he had
over Miller. and said that Bede would
win in the eighth district by a good
margin. Stevens was indicated as
winner in the fourth district by at least
two to one. No very bad breaks In that
list. ~.
There were twenty-seven of the old
state senators renominated TUESDAY,
twenty of them republicans and seven
democrats Five who were candidates
lost in the primaries, all of them re-
publicans. They were Laugen Of Faous-
ton. Shell Of Worthington, Durant OF
saltwater. Gjertsen of Minneapolis, and
Stone of Benson. Nearly all of those re-
nominated have a fairly easy time OF It
. in the election, and evidently there will
be enough of the old senators left to
make a nucleus for another combine.
In legislative matters the combine knows
no party lines. When it comes to or
paniza ton the slate Is usually made up
by thirty-two to thirty-fve senators,
each taking a place Of greater or less
; value. The old senators will probably
get together soon after election ana
initiate enough new ones to control.
There is contest in sight for secretary
between Sam Langum and E. A. Nelson
. of Hallock, former state librarian ana
late candidate for secretary OF STATE.
The contest for the house organization
is already on. All the speakership pos
sibilities pulled thru and will win In the
election, except J. R. Morley, who might
have been a candidate. The probable
, entries are A. J. Rockne Of Zumbrota'
W. A. Nolan of Grand Meadow, Law
renee H. Johnson Of Minneapolis, n. F,
Hugo of Duluth, and r. J. Wells Of
