Minnesota Politics
Fight Opening Early in the Second,
Eastwood Attacking Guttersen, While
Bert Miller Supports Him. D.
Jones Hires Hall to Air His Record.

The artillery is beginning to rumble |
down in the second district The Nc
Cleary papers have opened with broad
side on Guttersen, while Bert Miller,
who made the fight two years ago, has
come out with an Endorsement Of the
Lake Crystal man, and defense from
the charge of "ingratitude'' brought
against him.
The most vigorous assault on Gutter
Heron Lake News. He dissects Gut
furnishes no issues for him to fight Nc
Cleary. The congressman Shas voted
three times for electing United States
senator's by popular vote. AS for the
antipass plank, the News says Gutter
sen rides on passes, and that McCleary
will vote for an antipass provision in
the rate bill. Guttersen g declaration
for conservative revision,' of the
tariff means nothing, says the News.
He could do nothing in that line if
elected, while McCleary will stand third
or higher on the ways and means COM
mlttee in the next congress, and will be
one OF the drafters of tariff bill.
The News predicts that Guttersen will
not get as many votes as Miller did.
There is going to be something doing in
the district, however, and McCleary's
proposition of "revision upward' will
be assailed on the stump. 1t is reported
that Guttersen is to have assistance in
his fight from Governor Cummins of
Iowa, who debated with McCleary at
| Boston, and is one of the leading re-
vision advocates in the country, also
from Frank NJ. Eddy, who is another
master of the tariff question.
The Fergus Falls Free Press says:
The Minneapolis Journals size-up Of
the political situation at Crookston proved
| to be true, notwithstanding the numerous
denials made. Saturday a meeting was
held in the Polk county capital for the
purpose Of properly launching the candi-
dacy Of A. D. Stephens for the republi-
can nomination for governor. This looks
like a Stephens STEVENSON combinauon
in which the latter gentleman gets rid of
one OF his clouds in the political horizon.
The Appleton Press says: "In A. D.
Stephens we Jacobites have foeman
worthy Of our steel.'
But where are the Jacobites going
county, surely.
Frank M. Eddy denies that he took
part in the sixth district conference in
Minneapolis which decided on Lind
bergh, and intimates that there are
other villages in the sixth district be-
side st. Cloud and Little Falls, indi
eating disposition on his part to favor
Eddy for congress. Eddy admits thai
''did attend a meeting of republicans
from all over the state in regard t
another matter.'' The other matte,
referred to is Jacobson 8 candidacy
and the meeting was a largely attended
secret conference which resulted i,
Jacobson making his announcement.
