HEADS TOGETHER i 70
Democratic Nominees Lay Plans
for the Campaign
HOLD A CONFERENCE
Men Who Won at the Primaries
Meet at the County Seat and
Get Ready for November

The winners at the primary cleo
tion in Stearns county-democrats,
every mothers son of them-held a
conference at the county seat Monday
and laid plans for the November cleo
lions. There was one lone republican
nominated on Tuesday, September 20
William Arndt-but he wasn't in
vited to the gathering. Mr.. Amt will
paddle his own canoe.
When the successful contestants at
the primaries got together Monday
the first thing in order was congratu-
lations. Everybody present felt good.
Some time was spent discussing plans
for the coming campaign. There was
strong feeling shown against indie
pendent candidates. Inasmuch as it
| had cost the winners considerable
time, more or less worry and some
hard cash to ''get there" those pres
ent were of the opinion that
they were entitled to a through ticket
to the court house on election day
next November. They therefore
agreed to stand pat in their attitude
on this question and not lend any
kind of helping hand to any fellow
who should be so rude as to ''butt i'm
on them by filing as an independent
candidate.
| Possibly the attitude of the nomi-
nees were influenced in their position
by the appearance, in the field, of
Henry Emmel of Melrose as an indie
pendent candidate for the senate in
the fifth-fourth district. 1t will be
remembered that there was three
coronered fight for this place, the
contestants being John J. Ahmann,
w. f. DOnOhue and Jos. friedman.
Amman won out. He served in the
last legislature as a member of the
senate. Mr.. Donohue was a close
second. Mr.. Emmel's appearance
caused more or less surprise. His
candidacy was announced in the Mel
rose Beacon last week. He has back
of him record of one term in the
lower house, having served there dur
ing, the 1909 session. Independent
candidates must file petition with
the county auditor not later than
October IL, which contains ten per
cent of the voters. No person who
was candidate at the primaries is
eligible, and no person who voted at
the primaries can sign such petit
tion. 1t will therefore be seen that
Mr.. Emmel will have some hustling
to do in order to get his petition.
Late returns show G. M. Johnson
of Detroit a winner over j. w. Mason
of Fergus Falls, for the nomination
of district judge on the republican
ticket. Mr.. johnson has something
like 200 majority over his opponent.
He will have to do battle, at the No
vember election, with G. A. Nye of
| Moorhead, democratic nominee, who
had no opposition at the September
primaries.
