Jacobson Visits Some Minneapolis Pol
iticians After Making His Announce

in Hennepin- Significance of the Du-
Iuth Convention.

Jacobson's announcement is the most
important development in state politics
lately AS long as the Madison man
could talk all they wanted, but always
met the question: Is he candidate9
Does he want the nomination. His
statement in T b e GU n al interview
was signal for his friends everywhere
to redouble their energies. 1t means
that there will not be any sidetracking,
or any question of coercing a man to
be candidate. jacobson is in the race,
and while he will not build up any or
ganization or conduct an expensive
campaign, he is out after delegates, and
will take them anywhere he can find
them.
His visit to Minneapolis Saturday
was significant. Before going home he
got around town and met several of his
former colleagues in the legislature,
who invited friends in and gave him a
sort OF informal reception. 1t is claimed
that a good many pledges Of support
We're made, and that jacobson will de-
velop considerable strength in the Hen
sey county entirely alone on this trip,
which was perhaps just as well, but
jacobson will cut some figure in Hen
nep1n. No one expects an effort to
! carry the county for him, but the out
! spoken jacobson men in the county con-
vention will demand their share of
representation on the delegation to Du-
luth.F $3.50 ~.
Politicians are remarking today on
| garding jacobson. The omission. on
Sunday was easily accounted for
by. failure to connect with the, Lac
qui Parle man, but it was rather sur
prising. that they should let today pass
also without mentioning a piece of po
litical news of universal interest in
the state. jacobson s treatment Of the
platform question is also creating dis
cussion. The other candidates are dis
posed to resent the implication that
who has record. It was the easiest
way; for him to meet the question
however. All the available planks hac
been captured and there was nothing
much that he could use, without being
open to the charge of plagiarism.

In some quarters the Duluth victory
in the state committee is taken to meal
the recrudescence Of Dunn as candi
date for governor. AS far as prestige
is concerned, the committee meeting
added nothing, for the members Of thu
. committee nearly all owed their places
to Dunn, and were certain to regard hi;
wishes with considerable weight. The
other candidates for governor are al
convinced, however, that Dunn intends
to enter the race; that he regarded Du
