DENIS ARE NEXT
Viii Hold Their State Convention
on July 28
TO NAME STATE TICKET
Stearns County Democratic Con-
ventiOn Will Be Held in ST.
Cloud on July q

Ine democratic state convention to
nominate state ticket will be held
in st. Paul on Thursday, July %, at
which time full state ticket will be
nominated and platform adopted.
Gossip is rife relative to a nominee
for governor on the Bourbon ticket.
1t is an open secret that concerted
effort is being made to force the
nomination upon John Lind. Mr..
Lind does not want the honor and has
said so in as many words in a letter
to Frank A. Day, chairman of the
democratic state committee. Whe-
ther he would decline to accept if
nominated is the question now agi-
tating the Bourbon breast. Lind
argues that, under state law, no
member of the Board Of Regents of
the State University can accept any
other office. Lind likes the regency
and he likes his law practice and to
accept the governorship nomination
would not only be to take the chance
of defeat and to secure an empty
honor in case of election but also to
sacrifice good money by neglecting
his law practice. If the democratic
managers cannot get Lind to accept,
they will probably name Hammond
or Judge Stanton. For lieutenant
governor Fred Johnson of New Ulm,
brother of the late lamented John A.
Johnson, is mentioned. The slate
makers hav'nt got any further with
their state ticket.
The democratic county conventions
will be held OH Saturday, July %, at
9 O'Clock in the forenoon. This will
enable the Sank Centre delegation to
GO to ST. Cloud, take part in the de-
liberations of the convention, and
return on the lilo p. M. train. The
republican county committee called
their convention for p. m. and the
Sauk Centre delegates were compelled
to pay tribute to the hotels at the
county seat all day, when the con-
vention could have bean held in the
forenoon just as well as not. The
city of Sank Centre will be entitled
to IL delegates, A from the first ward
and I from the second. The conven-
tion will consist of 24l delegates.
Caucuses to choose delegates to
county conventions will be held
Wednesday evening, July 20, from
7:30 to $50.
There is likely to be some fun
among aspirants for county offices in
Stearns county at the primaries this
year. County treasurer Chris Schmitt
will have opposition, and the indi-
cations that some one will try con-
clusions with Clerk of Court Henry
j. Limperich and Register of Deeds
Paul Beaudreau. The latter is now
in the last half of his second year of
his first term, while Mr.. Limperich
has been in office longer. Mr.. Sch
mitt has held the office for treasurer
for good many years and this argu-
ment will be used against him in the
primary campaign by Harry E. Young
who is already in the field and who
will try conclusions with him at the
primary election. Other candidates
are likely to appear for other offices
between now and the date of the pri-
maries. AS everything is onesided in
Stearns county, the main fight will
be between democrats at the primary
election. Whoever wins then will
likely have a walkaway at the
November election.
A letter from Paul Ahles authorizes
The Herald to state that he is not
candidate for reelection as superinten-
dent of schools. Mr.. Ahles will
practice law. There are already two
