| Judge Stanton will not be the only
one to oppose Chief Justice Start at
the November election according to
word which came from Minneapolis
last evening that Alexander Stewart
had filed for the position. Mr.. Stew
art terms himself Roosevelt Pro-
gressive" and said that he believed
the supreme court was in need of a
man who would shake it up. In
| speaking of his candidacy he said he
| thought the bench was open to re-
form.
According to the primary law, the
three candidates filed as non-parti-
san but nothing can prevent them
from stating their political prefer
ences. At the primary election on
September II, all three will be voted
on and the two receiving the largest
number of votes will be placed on
the general election ballot in Novem-
Der.
Judge Stantoa's candidacy appears
to be favorably received in all quart
ers of the state. It is pointed out that
Justice Start is now seventy-three
years old and that he has served for
eighteen years. Another term will
mean that he will be nearly eighty
years old if he lives until his term
expires. If not, the position will
have to be filled by the governor I'M
til the next regular election. Judge
Stanton is young man and will be
available for many years to come.
Eleventh hour filings were the gen.
eral rule yesterday and at the secre-
tary of states Office it was estimated
that $4,000 had been received by the
state for filing fees. This does not
include the money paid into county
treasures by county candidates
which, in Beltrami county only,
amounted to $40.
