! A dispatch from Marshall says that
Lyon county will send a jacobson dele
cation to the state convention, probably
instructed, with Somerville second
now accounted for, and all are for ia.
eobson, counting Redwood. which is for
Julius Schmahl, but is also expected
to vote Afor the seventh district candi-
date for governor. Swift county is
Young's, but will also stand for Jacob
son, and Grant county, which expects to
state auditor, is in line for Jacobson. A
report from Elbow. Lake says that the
results indicate solid Jacobson
delegation from Grant, and that Arne
son will also be enthusiastically sup
ported = for state auditor.
Brown county has two candidates on
its hands, and will do it's best for both.
New ulm reports delegates elected who
favor Somerville for governor and Vogel
for treasurer. @ T..ss,s..*
The friends Of "Carney'' Koerner
elai p that there was clash after all
Hanson was probably ignorant. They |
say that Nelson E. March went to A. T.
Koerner offering to make no opposition |
to Koerner delegation for treasurer,
provided it was agreed that it should
vote for Hanson for governor. This Of
refused, and they proceeded to elect
delegates to the county convention who
were for Koerner and against Hanson.
Apparently, however, no particular ef-
fort was made on behalf of Hanson.
There will be interests at work in
the Dul!th COZ to Pre-, prevent any
from the deadlock to start a break in
the direction of some one entirely out
side the present circle of candidates.
1t is common knowledge that R. G. Dunn
has a lightning rod elevated, and that
while he has expressed himself content
ed with Jacobson or Cole. he has an
headquarters at Duluth, and will be
there ready to take advantage Of any
turn in affairs. The supporters Of Peter
E. Hanson also want a deadlock, which
will furnish an excuse for delegates to
leave their first choice and go to Han
son. Mr.. Hanson, however, is not go
ing to Duluth at all, and will make no
effort to influence the convention.
Elias Stevenson Of Crookston, brother
of the congressman and active in the
farmers movements, is put forward by
the Oldberg Journal as ideal material
the candidates now in the field should
be dropped and some, new man like
STEVENSON chosen. -.
A dispatch from Crookston says that
the people of that city are ENTHUSIASTIC
over Stephens candidacy, and hopeful
as to his chances. An attempt was
made to run in some anti, stephens dele
gates in the primaries, but they, were
showed under. The county will in
struct for Stephens and the candidate
himself is receiving assurances Of sup
port, not only from the ninth, but from
the twin cities and; other sections Of the
state, making his friends sanguine. :
Murray county is: all for Dinehart, and
the convention tomorrow will not only IN !.
for treasurer, BUTTS respected to put the
delegation entirely nj his hands.
In Mankato there is report Of a
combination. between Cole, and Eber-
hart, by which the local man is to de-
liver Blue Earth to Cole, and in turn is
to receive the Cole support for heuten:;
those stories that are only half true
There is Cole movement down there
; but it dates back of1the time that Eber
hart became a candidate. %
Perham reports a solid Cole delega
ton elected to the Otter Tail county
convention. The county seems close be
tween jacobson and Cole, and tomorrow
will tell the story ..s ,:->
Il Some county conventions meet Wed
nesday morning, but a great number arr
called for the afternoon, and SO it vii
? not be possible to give full reports Of
3 the results in T he j our II thu
! same day. Every county will be &C
counted for in the returns next day.
There were only. thirteen votes cas-
= at Excelsior Saturday night, and it i
! claimed that one Of the three delegate
4 elected, L. N. Sheldon, is democrat
Chairman Day of the democratic stat
committee will call his clans togethe
soon, and will probably have the meet
ing about June 20. There is no rus!
y as far as the convention is CONCERNED
y for the general sentiment favors put
- during fair week. : It will be goo
thing, however, to get the committee
;, men together and talk things over :
IL good while in advance. The democrati
# convention, when it meets, Will be a.
20 cut and dried, and it will take time t
b arrange such a ticket and program i
satisfactory shape.
