Ing snowy about Senator Lord. He ii |
naturally modest and has refused to ask
anyone to support him for the nomina-
ton. He Is one Of the solid public men
of the state, and absolutely true to his
convictions.
Samuel Lord is a native OF Minnesota,
like Governor johnson. He was born in
1853 in Marion, Olmsted county. He
was educated in the Mantorville public
schools, at Shattuck academy and at
Carleton college, and was admitted to the
bar In 1886. He was county attorney of
Dodge county from 1887 to 1899. and was
elected to the state senate in 1893. In
1902 he was reelected. He is one OF the
prominent lawyers OF southern Minne-
sofa. In the senate he has been infiuen-
tial. He was not affiliated with the
senate combine" but was held in such
esteem by his colleagues that many OF
the combine" members are his support
ers for the nomination.
Crookston has received grapevine in
formation that Judge Wallace B. Douglas
is going to run for congress in the ninth
| district against Halvor STEVENSON. Judge
Douglas may still be a technical resident
of Moorhead, but he is practicing law in
| st. Paul and devoting his time to his
profession. Running for congress is
probably farthest from his thoughts.
/ Renville county Is going to have an
| other lively senatorial fight. Four years
ago "A. ". Rieke of Fairfax beat out d.
s.. Hall in a whirlwind finish. Rieke will
4 doubtless run for reelection. and j. II.
Dale Of Renville is already brought out
as an opponent. With this early start
1 there may be more candidates. and the
/ race will be interesting.
l Fourth district democrats are talking
about Judge Thomas Wilson as a candi-
date for congress. He would be happy
selection. but it Is improbable that he
! would resign as counsel for the Omaha
road to make the race. =
The Winona Republican and Herald
says:
Either Milton D. Purdy. the presi-
dents choice, or w. E. Hale of Mime
apolis,, Senator Nelson's choice, will sue
coed Judge Lochren when he retires
from the federal bench in May. Isn't II
funny that the big federal plums seldom
or never fall outside the big cities ?"

United States district attorney, John
. Peterson Of New Ulm, collector of Gus
| toms, and Fred Won Bombach Of Alex
andria, collector of internal revenue
