Word reached Washington this week
that Hon. Gilbert Gutternen, inspector
in the field for rural delivery routes, will
soon tender his resignation.
By some this is taken to mean that
Mr.. Guttersen really intends to become
a candidate for congress. His friends
here say that Gutersen knows the senti-
ment of the district thoroughly and that
he is convinced that the people,, espec-
tally the farming industry, do not want
to be obliged to again adopt the hard
and-fast stand pat never change and let
alone policy of Mr.. McCleary.
A former resident of the second dis
trict, who is now voter in another con-
gressional district of Minnesota, said to
your correspondent on Thursday:
ct, looks to me as if the republicans
of the second district will get together
on the important issues of the day and
nominate a man for congress who be-
lieves in giving the interstate commerce
commission full power to establish rea-
sonable railroad rates; man who will
come out and declare for proper re
vision of the existing tariff schedules by
the republican party and further declare
that the time for such revision is now.
This would be in accord with the re-
publican national platform.
