Opposition Candidates for Only Two
of the County Offices-Five
Candidates for House.

tlon on September ~. First on the
republican ballot come the candi-
dates for judge of the district court,
seventh judicial district. The candi-
dates are G. M. Johnson of Detroit
and J. W. Mason of Fergus Falls.
The former is unknown in this county,
while on the other hand Mr.. Mason
has many acquaintance and warm
personal friends scattered over the
county: he was a candidate against
Judge Baxter six years ago and
carried the county by small maj ority.
Next come the candidates for con-
gress-Alex G. Mcknight, Clarence
3. Miller and Carl Taylor. The two
former are residents of Duluth and
Mr.. Taylor is an Aitkin county farm
er. Mr.. Miller is the present member
of congress and has big advantage
over his opponents. He will un-
doubtedly receive a majority of the
votes in this county.
For state senator the contestants
are Hon. Daniel Anderson of Cam
bridge and Hon. G. J. Swanson of
Fridley. The former is an old and
highly respected citizen of Isanti
county and has number of warm
friends in this county. The cardinal
plank in his platform is county op-
ton. If the county optionists develop
the strength that is expected he will
poll large vote. Mr.. Swanson was
elected to the senate four. years ago
and little fault can be found with his
record. He is plain, unassuming
business man, engaged in the manu-
facture Of thing and fire brick at Frid-
ley in Anoka county, and is noted for
his generous treatment of his en-
ployes and his public-spiritedness. It
is generally conceded that he will be
renominated and reelected.
For representative there are FIVE
candidates out of which three are to
be selected. Hon. Andrew Davis and
Hon. Frank T. White, both OF Elk
River, have already served two terms
each. It is hardly probable that both
of them will be renominated. Mr..
Davis is a we'll known business man
of Elk River, and Mr.. White is a
lawyer. Both of them have warm
friends all over the district. Mr..
Davis is endorsed by the county op-
tionists while Mr.. White is presumed
to have the backing of those who are
opposed to county option, although
neither of them has made any public
declaration on the question. The
vote on these two gentlemen will be
fair test Of the county option senti-
ment in the 45th legislative district.
Godfrey G. Goodwin of Cambridge is
the Isanti county candidate for repre-
sentative. If Mr.. Anderson of the
same county were not candidate for
senator, Mr.. Goodwin would have
walk-over, as 1t is the chances strong
ly favor him as one of the three who
will be chosen. Hon. G. II. Wyman
of Anoka is also candidate for rep
resentative, and he is in exactly the
same position as Mr.. Goodwin, for
there is also a candidate for senator
from that county. Mr.. Wyman was a
member of the 1905 legislature and
has clean record. He is an able
and conscientious gentleman, and
were he not handicapped with sena-
torial candidate in his county he
would be a sure winner He is en-
dorsed by the county optionists of the
district. R. G. Dunn is the only Mile
Laos county candidate. For four
years Mile Laos has not been repre-
sented in the legislature, and, we
think, the fair-minded voters of the
district concede that this county is en-
titled to have a representative at least
once in six years.
For the county Offices W. G. Doane
of Milaca and T. F. Scheen are con-
testants for the authorship; Frank
Goulding, William Kaliher and J. A.
Erstad all aspire to the register of
deeds office; and Carl M. Sholiu Of
Page and 81. J. Wicklund of Milo are
rival candidates for county commits
sioner in the 4th district; Otto Hen
schel for treasurer, Harry Shockley
for sheriff, Joseph A. Ross for county
attorney, Vim. V. Sanford for Judge
of probate, r. S. Chapman for county
surveyor, Guy Ewing for superinten-
dent of schools, and Ole Il. Uglem for
county commissioners in the second
district have no opposition. Some Of
these candidates may have. opposition
at the November election but it is
hardly probable.
On the democratic ballot appear the
