St Peter Herald: The opening
gun of the county campaign has
been fired. One candidate has de-
posted the required $40 with the
county auditor, and from now !; on
there will be brisk fighting along the
political skirmish lines. Frank E.
Jefferson Of Belgrade township, en-
joys the distinction :of being the
man to open the campaign of 1872.
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, aud it is practically certain
that Aug. SamuelSOn of Bernadottc,
who was candidate two years ago,
will twirl the political wheel of for
tune once more. Mr.. SamuelsOn
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 in the person of Henry
SHIP is grooming a dark horse. MIR.
Robel Is widely known in the east
ern part of the county. having serv-
ed several terms as chief of police
of Mankato. Another prospective
candidate is Frank d. Currier of
CRANKY, secretary of the Minnesota
State Dairyman's association Mr..
Currier had been mentioned as q
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.
The Busy Bees met at the home
OF Mrs. w. d: Stewart yesterday
afternoon. Mrs, Koeherr won the
