London, where Americans were very
strong. Much of the buying over

large portion of the men were shown
to be in thorough sympathy with the

TROUBLE IN The 9Th
Claimed Buchanan Has
Rupture With Some
Of His Friends

lu0eApOl1e JO0f06l 80: Inc SKI d
district is upholding it's reputation as
the storm center Of state politics. Tire
latest report from that direction s-ys
there is q break between Convr,ss
man Buchanan and pant Of his ma.
chine. Buckman, as the story goes.
has announced bis intention Of dis
placing A. W. Sheets as postmas: or
at Long Prairie, and p1tti,g in q
man elected by W. E. Lee, who leads
the other faction. g. c. Eastman Of
Wadena 10 q sworn ally Of Sheets in
the perpetual war waged in tie fifty.
third senatorial districr. Eastman
and Sheets are supporters of Senator
Wood. while Lee and J. D. Jones are
back of James johnson of Bertha.
Eaetman Is postmaster at Wadena aud
has been Ruckman's manager IN that
county. He is standing by Sheets,
however, and has drawn Alvah East
man and James A. Martin In: as
they have all worked together politi-
cally. Buckman gave them no assur-
|ances when home recently, and seems
to have decided to Dust Sheets.
Sheets friends practically broke
with Bockman, and going homo tried
to drag Brewer into the congressional
race. though he had made up his mind
not to run.
The story is given for what it is
worth. If 1t is true, this wing of the
Buchanan organization will soon be
found putting candidate for congress
in the field.
The woods are full of possibilities,
but most of them would be considered
not available, either because they are
| of6ceholdersss under Buckman or be
cause Of local complications. The
; antl-Buckman men want candidate
who has s: lid support at home, and
that is hard to lind in the eix'h dis.
trict. The present state of feeling in
| the district bodies i'll for Buckmap. I,
has been stirred up by circulation OF
the stories Of his domestic career.
With the opposition united on one
strong candidate, Buchanan would be
almost certainly doomed to defeat a,
the primaries, but his organization
is working to Keep any formidable
candidates out of the way, and If one
enters, others will doubtless be
trought out to divide the opposition
strength.
The Buckmaa opposition does not
favor A. F. Foster of Litch6eld, who
has made the race twice. James A.
Martin has been urged to run, but ii
Handicapped by being Buchanan post
master. G. J. 9undetson of Alexan

The weeds have been cut out
and trees cultivated IN the public
park along the creek and now it
makes a nice drive.
Do our carriage owners know
that Normal Park, west OF the
bridge has been thrown open and
makes another lovely drive along
the high banks OF the creek! At
the bridge near Thomas residence
drive west along fence, cross the
creek at old Fort crossing and
back on south side.
The Regents at west end should
open the pasture fence and set it
IN 80 foot, B telephone poles and
a few plank would make a culvert
bridge so the stock could get to
the creek, and we have no doubt
of MIR Ryan and Mr.. Reeder also
opening up a so foot roadway
on their south line and this would
then make a lovely drive from the
bridge along the creek to the Nor
NAL school street and grounds.
