Minnesota Politics
Voters Will Settle Five Congressional
Contests Tomorrow one In Hennepin
L District Most Uncertain Of All Live
~ Finishes in Second and Sixth Dis
tricts,

The title to five Minnesota seats in
congress &C will be settled by the result Of
the primaries tomorrow. Four of the
present delegation, Tawney, Davis, Vol
tlon lnthe primaries, and Tawney is the
only, one Of the four who has demo-
cratic opponent at the polls.
Inc biggest uncertainty surrounds the
four-cornered fight in the fifth district.
between w. II. Eustis, w. D. Washburn.
Jr., Frank M. Nye and A. H. Hall.
Any predictions as to the outcome OF
th1s contest are merely guesswork.
In the second district there is little
doubt now that Congressman McCleary
WILL be renominated. He is apt to have
ago, which will show the increased OPP
position to his stiff backed position on
tariff revision. Guttersen has made a
close canvass and will get good vote
IN every county. He is apt to lead in
three or. four counties. A spectacular
feature in this campaign will come to-
night, when McCleary will close his
campaign, by speech in Lake Crystal.
Guttersen g home town. Postal card in
vltatlons have been sent to every
patron of the Lake Crystal postoffice.
unless Guttersen was skipped on the list
The fourth district result is not in
doubt. Congressman Stevens will be
renom1nated by an emphatic plurality
over p. G. Rogers. The Rogers policy
| of attacks on Stevens personal and
| business record has lost him votes.
Stevens has made an effective campaign
IN the last few days, and will swamp
Rogers in Chisago and Washington
counties. He is certain to get good
majority in Ramsey also.

and Mr.. Eddy waded into Cons gresham
Buchanan g legislative and con- ressional
record, touching also on his private
life. The Buchanan organization is max
Ing desperate efforts to stave off what
seems certain defeat for their man. A
circular letter has been sent out to hard
ware dealers, quoting from one Of Mr..
to show that he is in favor Of catalog
houses: Country merchants are getting
similar circular sent out by some
Little Falls men. Agents Of breweries
and liquor dealers are being requested
to work for Buchanan because Lind
bergh is prohibitionist In the St.
Cloud speech Mr.. Lindbergh made ar
emphatic denial of these charges. Tht
Buchanan attempt to corral the labor
vote Of the district has been frustrated
by the publication of a letter from
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer
lean Federation, puncturing the Buck
man claim that he has been Endorsed by
Gompers, and taking stand against
Buchanan because Of his vote on the
eight-hour law.
The eighth district contest bids fai,
to be rather close. It depends largely
on st. Louis county. Millar started to,

danger, the indications in Duluth ar,
that the Pine City joker will carry Du
luth and st. Louis county, and will b,
renominated. @--Charles B. Cheney.
