Minnesota Politics
Sentiment In Sixth and Eighth Districts
Seems to Be Mainly Divided Between
Cole and Jacobson-SomerviIIe Leads In
Second-Buckman Makes Place for
Frater.

Cole and Jacobson seem to be about the
only names discussed in the sixth and
eighth districts as candidates for gov
ernor, and the impression prevails that
the vote of those two districts will be
practically divided between them. Steph-
ems may get something from st. Louis
county, and Block has some lines out, but
they are not given much consideration in
calculations up there. Pine county is
talking Cole, and the Hinckley Enter
prise has declared for the Walker man,
expressing the belief that Jacobson and
Cole will lead in the convention. Over in
Wadena county, the Verndale Sun says:
The main fight in the race for the nomination
for governor on the republican ticket is between
Jacobson and Cole. The northern papers are
taking up the cause Of Cole to- a large extent,
and 1t now looks tho he would get a large
number of votes on the first ballot from the
sixth district, which was supposed to be strong
for Jake" The people will be satisfied with
| either. Both are good men.
AS the Sun is Buchanan paper it's
declaration for Cole may be significant
| When In st. Paul Buchanan visited the
Cole headquarters and had quite a long
| conference with the gubernatorial candi-
date. 1t was given out that there would
be no alliance between governorship and
congressional candidates, but as most of
the Jacobson mon in the district are for
Lindbergh, a Cole-Buckman alliance may
yet be developed.
Somerville and Jacobson are leading in
the Second district development If il
were not for the candidates. Of Vogel. and
D1nehart for treasurer, the way would be
smoother for Somerville, and as it is he
will probably get the larger share of the
district. Block is likely to get delegates
4 fpNv, O1,1o 1,,%l, To-
Dinehart appears to have distanced
Vogel in the effort to line up the second
district on treasurer. Outside Of Brown
county the, Slayton man seems to have
things pretty well In hand.
The row in the forty eighth senatorial
! district has been patched up by Senator
Fraters selection as Indian agent a.
ieech Lake. H. A. Rider, who was SLATED
for the agency, declined to take it, ant
Congressman Buchanan has secured thu
senators Endorsement for Frater. The
/ latter will withdraw as a candidate fo
the senate. A. J. Halstead, editor of tn,
Brainerd Tribune, was after Frater'
scalp, claiming the violation of an agree
ment made when Frater was nominated
two years ago. S. F. Alderman of Brain
erd is a candidate for the senate, ant
may go in now without opposition.
William Lockwood Of Pipestone is. no
to have clear sailing in his candidacy TO
the senate. E. H. Garfield of Luverne il
likely to file against him. The hous
nomination in the same district vii
probably be contested for by A. C. Finke
editor of the Hills Crescent, and Knut G
Oldre of Luverne.
Senator F. Fl. Peterson of Moorhead
being doomed for lieutenant governor
but declines to consider it, and has an
,, nounced himself candidate for renomina
ton to the senate in the sixtieth district
His record as champion of the anti-pas
bill would make him a good man on tn
! state ticket, but he wants to go back t
the legislature and keep the work gon
there. The state convention will I'm
: doubleday pledge the party to the passag
of an anti-pass bill next winter.
The St. Cloud Journal-Press is worlxin
the bandwagon tactics strong in the in
terests of Jacobson. with either tn
f Eennepin or Ramsey delegation Jacob
sons nomination would be a cinch," say
the Journal-Press, land the fellows VIII
! get there first are entitled to first honori
3 Now hurry" .
= Is it going to be a bandwagon, or
shurry Wagon?" Charles B. Cheney.
