st. Peter Herald: ;. The opening
gun of the county campaign has
been fired. One candidate has de-
posted the required SO with the
county auditor, and from now !. on
there will be brisk fighting along the
political skirmish lines. Frank E..
Jefferson CT Belgrade township, en-
joys the. distinction of being the
man to open the campaign of 1912.
He came to st. Peter Wednesday
afternoon, and while in the city filed
as a candidate for the republican
nomination for representative. Mr..
Jefferson has resided in Belgrade for
a period of thirty-five years, and is
one of the leading men of his sec
ton of the county. Even at this
early date, 1t is known that Mr.. JEFF
ferson will have two or more oppon.
ents for the office he seeks, and it
is prabable that the contest will be
the hottest ever waged in the coun-
ty. Representative Ole Peterson has
stated that he will seek renomina-
ton, and it is practically certain
that Aug. SamuclSon of Bernadottc,
who was a candidate two years ago
will twirl the political wheel of for
tune once more. Mr.. SamueIson
made a splendid showing in his first
campaign, and it is" felt that he has
greater strength today than he had
In 1910. North MankatO may have
a candidate. lii the person of Henry
Robel, ST.. and New Sweden town
ship is grooming a dark horse. Mr.
Robel is widely known in the east
ern part of the county. having serv-
ed several terms as. chief Of police
of Mankate. Another prospective
candidate is Frank ID. Currier of
CRANKY, secretary of the Minnesota
State Dairyman's association. Mr..
Currier had been mentioned IS a
candidate for treasurer but of late
be has been much talked of in con-
nection with tha post of representa-
tive. This multiplicity of candidates
insures a spirited contest, and the
race will be anybody's.
