THEY WILL USE BANDWAGoN
ARaUMENT ON CITIES.
Friends Of Jacobson Claim Those Of
Sixth District and Half Of Ninth,
With the Seventh Solid, Giving Him
$50 Votes on First Ballot, without
Counting Cities.

Strong claims are being made for
jacobson by his supporters in the gov
ernorship contest. The Madison man
has no headquarters in the twin cities,
but has friends In both cities who are
keeping in communication with the out
side. Jacobson's campaign is being
made as a country fight, but his work
ers are hoping at the proper time to
make such a showing that either Hen
nepin or Ramsey could nominate him,
and so bring them in on the "band-
wagon argument.
The county conventions tomorrow, ac-
eording to the jacobson figures, will
show him in possession of a first ballot
strength of not less than $50, without
counting anything from Hennepins or
Ramsey. They claim that both the big
counties will be divided and Jacobson
will get some delegates from them at
the start. In Hennepin the Block claims
to a solid delegation are vigorously dis
that many Of the so-called Block tick
cts in the caucuses were only unpledged
tickets made up by the precinct work
| ers, and they. are not for Block any
more than anybody else. If Block fails
to secure fifty. pledged delegates, then
he cannot swing the delegation, and
nearly every candidate will get some

Thief River Falls and surrounding
towns were carried for Jacobson, ant
the county seems close. Norman is also
claimed for jacobson. The Stephens o,
anti-Jacobson forces carried Ada ant
Jacobson took Hendrum and Halstad
and the rural towns are claimed for him
The jacobson claims are everywher,
disputed by Stephens and Cole. = .

FRIENDS OF the candidates claim tina

for jacobson, and that he Is working 70
his candidate in the twin Cities Marti
met Joel P.sHeatwole. this morning an
the two had quite:a chat.
[ jacobson men declare that the fgh
being made ON Iverson comes from til

The Tawney following in the first ,di
