clared they would not be candidates, but
the situation IS SO peculiar that the COM
vention may do almost anything, and the

bilities. It will be convenient, however,
as a directory. The list follows:

The latest addition to the list Of can
didates Is Clarence G. Dinehart of Stay
ton, Murray county, who is announced
by the Slayton Gazette as candidate for
state treasurer. The announcement states
| that he has received assurances of sup
port from every county in the second
| district, which ought to give him the
district delegation solid. Nothing is said
as to the probable course of Louis G.
Vogel Of New Ulm, who was a candidate
in 1904 and has been expected to enter
| 41a VT
Endorsed Vogel will probably keep out;
otherwise there would be a fight for the
| support of the second district. < Il
This column commented only two days
ago on the situation as to treasurer, but
will not claim any credit for inducing, the
n Dinehart entry. The Slayton man had his
mind made up before. His qualification
are stated by his home paper as follows:
He is graduate of the University Of Min
neseta and of the law school of Harvard uni
versity He has served as mayor of slayton
and is a stakeholder of the State Bank Of Stay
ton, Is secretary Of the Dinehart & Week Sc
curity company and is interested in other i'm
portant financial institutions. Aside from his
academic and legal training, MI. Dfnehart's
association with the banking business fits him
especially for the important work of handling
the states cash. Besides these qualifications,
he is man of high ideals, sound principles and
sterling Integrity, a man that would reflect
credit on any position.
The Owatonna Journal Of Thursday
contained what looks very much like an
| announcement of James M. Diment as
| a candidate for governor. Diment's name
is commended to republicans of the state
as suitable choice in an article which
| gives him a splendid eulogy, but says
nothing as to his attitude. It is pre-
sumed that the Endorsement was not
printed without his consent. There has
| heen cOnSi6era h1a DirneDt ta1< 511riop
months past, and it now begins to look
serious The editorial says in part:
Widely he is known Mr.. Diment has no
political enemies to punish and no private
he does his own thinking and keeps his own
counsels. His methods conservative.
The Mckinley day banquet In Mime
apolis Monday night is going to- be a
/ regular gathering of the clans 1 Many
prominent republicans from outside the
twin cities will be there, including
good many candidates, and it promises
to be the opening feast of the state
campaign. Another will come in st. Paul,

j The Fairmont Independent says Jacob
son should suit the Dunn men as a cam
didate, because he POLITICALLY is Mr..
Dunns twin That's good enough for a
funny column Dunn and jacobson re-
semble each other politically because
they are so different. No two men in
Minnesota have been so dramatically OPP
| posed on live state issues in recent
years. The incident of the extra session
in 1902 is still fresh in memory, when
Dunn was fighting the tax code and
| Jacobson was it's chief champion; when
| Jacobson attacked Dunn on the floor Of
the house for his inconsistency and his
| activity against the bill, and when Dunn
| appeared before the senate to talk against
| Jacobson's substitute bill. It was in that
| same year that. the merger issue devel-
| oped. jacobson was enthusiastic as an
| antimerger man; Dunn was Van SAINTS
chief critic. Dunn in his campaign for
| governor had Mr.. Hills 'sbest wishes ;
Jacobson always had his worst. They are
a funny pair Of political twins
| l. The St. Cloud JournaI-Press has the
lifollowing expression of it's opinion or
| the convention date, the representation
the candidate and the platform:
III Give us an early convention, with a platform
Fl in harmony with President ROoseyelts policy
| and the voters will do the rest. -, a.
II The corporal tons are against the policy, of tht
party, and this fact might well be recognized
1 and a candidate selected who stands for the
people and who has record in harmony will

II There has been more or less discussion as t.
whether the vote should be based upon that O.
President Roosevelt. the vote for governor o.
= the average vota of all the candidates tn.
ticket. The latter is the fairest to all sections
of the state.
