TABULATED STATEMENT OF RE-
SUITS IN STEARNS COUNTY
THE COMMITTEES.

In the latter days of last year Hon.
Frank Eddy picked out an "all star"
foot ball team (conversational( the
makeup of the team appearing in
the Herald of December 10.
Mr.. Eddy's foot ball story hasn't
any particular bearing on the recent
primary election campaign, cut at this
time we cannot refrain from re-pub-
fishing what he said aoout one of the
prominent candidates, Hon. Dan Law
Ter of St. Paul.
LEFT Guardian Lawler OF st.
Paul. The position of guard does not
require any quick thinking; all it
needs is bull dog courage, mule-llke
stubbornness, perfect willingness to
bear the brunt of the attack and to be
knocked down, dragged out, have the
ribs crushed in, the eyes punched out
for the benefit Of the team and let
the other fellows get the credit; to
emerge from the bottom of a gruellng
mass of humanity battered and
bruised and pretend that you like it
and ask for more. There were num-
Der of candidates for this position 5ut
no one can fill the bill as well as Dan.
He gets left so often that he is
given the position of left quad"
Away back in the nineties Dan was
the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor against Knute Nelson, and for
time it was thought that he had cop
ped the prize, but when the outlying
precincts were all in he was in the
also ran class.
For several days following last
weeks primaries Dan was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor. In fact
Mr.. Hammond sent HIM a congratula-
tory telegram. When all the returns
were in, however, history repeated it
self and Mr.. Lawler was once more
discarded. The vote was close, much
closer than thousands of Democrats,
voting as republicans at the primaries,
anticipated. For the days that Lave
Ter was the candidate the Big Boss,
Fred Lynch, and his cohorts were in
the dumps, but now the majority OF
1893 for Hammond looks like million
to them. Dan has demonstrated that,
while he cannot be nominated, he still
has enough fight to give his enemies
in his party palpatation of the heart.
The race between j. A. 0. Preus
and Henry Rines, for the nomination
of State Auditor, was nearly as close;
Mr.. Preus finally winning by a ma
jority of slightly over 1,OOO. Although
the law plainly states s:lat the third
man in the race shall be eliminated,
nevertheless, julius Block says there
will be trouble in big goos if his sec
ond choice votes are not counted. Al
together pleasant time was had.
0f oipein no
a majority over Gov. Eberhart of
about 10000.
The complete returns from the
Sixth Congressional district have not
been given out by Secretary OF State
Schmahl but Mr.. Maxfield has been
defeated by majority OF 1000 or
better.
Under the law the candidates of all
of the parties will meet in st. Paul
today, Thursday, and name the State
Committees. The law provides that it
shall take majority of the candi-
dates to make quorum, and that the
committees must be .S:ected at this
time. Only two of Minnesota's repub-
lican delegation in congress will be
present and give their consent to"
the naming of the committee in per-
son, and Attorney General Smith has
ruled that they cannot be represented
by proxy Under the circumstances
it appears that it will be impossible
to name complete state committee
at this meeting. The other parties
will be fully represented. Hugh Hal
bert and his brother will attend the
Bull Moose gathering and the entire
party will be on hand.
The Herald publishes herewith a
tabulated statement of the Stearns
county vote as given out by the can
wasting board:
