Charles B. Cheney in his Mime
sofa Politics Column in tn
Minneapolis Journal of Tuesda.
has this to say of the situation il
the sixth congressional district,
"The sixth district conference il
Minneapolis Saturday bore fruit
yesterday, when Charles A. Lind
bergh of Little Falls announced hi
candidacy for congress through the
medium of the Little Falls Tran
script, whose editor is Congress
man Buckman's manager in the
district.
Lindbergh has not taken the step
blindly. He has been given
assurances of support from every
county in the district, and he enters
not on his own motion, but as the
result of general invitation from
leading republicans who think the
district has stood for Buchanan long
enough and needs to be recognized.
They canyassed the situation care
fully for weeks after Brewers
withdrawal to find the most avail
able man. James A. Martin was
the general choice, but in Difference
to the wishes of Senator Nelson, he
refused to be drawn into the fight.
Senator E, B. Wood of Long
Prairie and Senator joan I. Alley
of Buffalo were seriously considered,
but Wood was not anxious to run
and Alley refused on personal
grounds. Frank M. Eddy was
considered, but did not encourage
the suggestion. He took part in
the conference here Saturday, and
is in the deal to support Lindbergh.
Last week the story was started
that Lindbergh would be a candi
date. He promptly denied it, but
meantime sentiment in his favor
grew and eliminated in the meeting
Saturday, after which the question
was put up to him in the stronges
kind of a way. The announcement
was made yesterday, with thu
assurance that formal declaration
will be made later.
Lindbergh is one of the best
known lawyers in central Mime
sofa, man of ability and culture
and it is predicted that he will max
a telling campaign. He has beel
considered judgeship material TO
some time, and. the movement t
add a third Judge in the. seventl
judicial district had Lindbergh i,
view as the man. Location aside
he is believed to be one of tn
strongest choices that could b
made. Living in Little Falls, b
has a strategic position, and tn
general opinion is that Buckma
will sec the handwriting and retir
in his favor. The move was mad
in haste with a purpose in view
Buchanan is to return home May
and when he comes home he wi
find the Lindbergh candidac
launched and organized, so that
he still insists on running he wi
file his affidavit as candidate wit
full knowledge of the situation b
must face"
We do not know who furnishe
him the information but as far 9
it concerns the editor of tn
Herald it is absolutely erroneou'
We did not attend any conferene
of sixth district leaders on tt
congressional situation. We di
attend a meeting of republican
from all over the state in regard
another matter. The compression
situation in the sixth was NJ
mentioned while we were presel
except by a single individual al
then only in causal way and I
mention was made of candidate
We did not even know that M
Lindburgh was thinking of runnir
till we saw his announcement in II
paper. We received no invitatit
to attend a conference on Il
congressional situation and won
not have attended one if we ha
We are of the opinion that VIII
the proper time comes the voters

perfectly competent to select
congressional candidate at t
primaries without the assistance
aid of any conference of leader
or meetings of leading poll
