TUFTS SAYS THERE'S
NOTHING TO THE STORY"
Popular Deputy U. S. Marshal Asserts
He Is Not Candidate for
State Senator.

Frank Tufts of Long Prairie,
deputy u. S. marshal for the district
of Minnesota, was a visitor in the
city yesterday, b eng on his way
to Red Lake Indian agency o
subpoena some Indian "chancery''
witnesses for the u. S. district court.
Mr.. Tufts name has been men,
toned quite frequently, of late, as a
possible candidate for the office
of state senator from the Fifty-third
Legislative district, which includes
Todd, Hubbard and Wadena coun-
ties.
Asked as to the possibility of his
becoming candidate for senator,
Mr.. Tufts smiled and declared,
emphatically, There is nothing to
it; I am doing very we'll where I
am"
Despite his negative statement,
it is believed that Mr.. Tufts NAV
become a candidate under certain
conditions, which conditions are
not mentioned, but they have to do
with the contest for u. S. senator
which will be waged in the next
legislature.
Frank Tufts is one of the most
popular men in northern Minnesota.
He has the reputation of being a
true and loyal friend. He is genial
and liberal and makes friends where
ever he goes. Should he become a
candidate for state senator there is
no doubt but what he would carry
his own county, Todd, by an over
whelming majority and it is the
general belief that he would be
elected.
