Situation is Complicated.

The action taken by Justice Start
yesterday in withdrawing from the
race for chief of the supreme bench
has complicated the situation as far
as Northern Minnesota voters go. Fol
lowing the action of Justice Start, a
movement was started which will re-
suit in all probability in the nomi-
nation of Justice Calvin L. Brown.
AS soon as it was known that JUS
tice Start had resigned, the attorney
general ruled that his resignation
would automatically place F. Alexan-
der Stewart, of Minneapolis, on the
ticket with Judge Stanton of Bemid-
j. Mr.. Stewart was low man in the
primaries. When Mr.. Stewart learn
ed that Justice Brown might be NOM
mated by petition, he said that he
would withdraw if this action was
taken.
Consequently, instead of balloting
on Stanton and Start, or even on
Stanton and Stewart, the voters of
Minnesota will probably be called up
on to ballot on Stanton and Brown.
The effect that this will have on
Judge Stanton's campaign cannot be
forecasted at this time.
Justice Brown is we'll known in
Bemidji. He is the father of M. J.
Brown and has been in the habit of
spending his summer vacations here
for several years. Before leaving this
summer, he is said to have stated that
next year he would build a summer
cottage somewhere on the lake, and
probably spend more time here than
he did this year.
Judge Stanton is a Bemidji and
Northern Minnesota man and in all
probability the candidacy of Justice
Brown will not affect him materially
in his home country. That it will af-
feet him in the cities and in the
southern part of the state seems GER
tain but to what extent, the election
only can tell.

John Runquist, of Grasston, and

only presidential electors named in
the spring convention who stayed by
President Taft. When the state COM
