WILL GRONNA RUN
FOR GOVERNOR?
NORTH DAKOTA coRREsPoN-
pENcE IN TWIN CITY PAPER
CONTAINS SOME GOSSIP
ABOUT THE CON-
GRESHAM

A twin city paper contained the fol-
lowing under a North Dakota date;
Congressman AISLE j. Gronnas politi-
cal ambitions are just now the subject
of much speculation in North Dakota.
Whether ne will seek reelection; If So
whether from the stalwart or the i'm
surgent republican factions; whether
he will enter the race for United States
senator or whether he will be candi-
date for governor-all these queries
are up for consideration,
When Mr.. Gronna was a merchant
ard bonanza landowner at Lakota, four
years ago, he was selected by Alex
Mckenzie and other dominant factors
III the republican party as good con-
gressional material He is a Morse
man, prosperous, not highly educated,
but possessed Of great native shrewd-
ness.
Breaks With Old Friends.
II required very little persuasion to
induce Gronna to accept the congress
ssonal nomination. He stood pat with
the stalwart wing of the republican
party until last year, when he dis
covered that his friends were giving
aid and comfort to M. N. Johnson, also
of Nelson county, and personal
enemy as well an a political oppon-
emit To make matters worse, this sup
port by Gronna's friends was Of such
a nature that johnson defeated Mar
shall and won the senatorship.
when he returned to washington,
CSronna was in q most unamiable
frame OF mind and Immediately start
ed 10 get even with the leaders Of the
stalwart wing. He attacked Uncle
Joe Cannon and had himself frequently
interviewed as condemning bossism,
and things nike that.
When the congressman returned to
North Dakota last summer, after the
tariff battle, 1t was stated that the
height of his ambition was to be re-
nominated for congress, but not by
the stalwart wing, from which he had
first secured the honors, but from the
Insurgents, whom he had fought.
Not a Candidate for Senator.
Later, 1t is said, Mr. Gronna realized
that Uncle Joe was still on top, and
that he would be out Of touch both
with the speaker and the president.
In this situation he would be unable to
secure any patronage to help him
build UP a political machine,
AS Gronna and Johnson are resi-
dents of the same county, the former
deemed 1t unwise to enter the senator
ace against McCumber at this
time.
is now stated that Gronna's
friends have about persuaded him that
the proper thing to do is to get into
the race for governor. If successful,
he can build up political machine
