Being national committeeman is
not all that it is cracked up to be-.
Fred 3. Lynch, who represents the
Democratic party in Minnesota, is be-
ginning to find that out. His office
in st. Paul is the daily haunt of the
unwashed who have designs on .coun-
try postoffices and when the custom
airy daily audience fails he has mail
that is burdensome in it's extent. APP
peals for Office, petitions and counter
petitions covering scramble for this
and that Office compose the most of
| the correspondence. So far the
| scramble for Office has been cared for
| without any unusual personal or party
complications but trouble is due and
may come any time.

Rumors are persistent that Con-
gresham Lindbergh of the Sixth dis
trlct is going to get into the guber-
material game, but the leaders at the
| state capitol refuse to take the talk
! WI AOA0AJ' AAOJ 15u1c OuL Iu0 WuOl0
thing as one of Congressman Lind
bergh's usual advertising stunts. The
only thing that Lindbergh could do,
If he did get into the game, they ar
que, would be to further muss up the
opposition plans, and to this Governor
Eberhart and his hackers would not
make any objection.

With James A. Peterson of Minne-
apolis and State Auditor .Iverson seek
ing the official scalp of Governor Eber-
hart the talk now runs as to which of
the three will benefit as a result of
the second choice provision of the
primary. At the last primary when
the number of candidates was six his
excellency really benefited, but this
time there are those who argue that
if the number is kept down to three
that Mr.. Iverson will benefit. They
make the point that the second choice
of both Peterson and Eberhart will
go to the present state auditor. How
ever, this remains to be seen.

P. J. SchWarg of Dodge Center was
among the old timers who lent his
presence to the meeting of the State
Agricultural society and his visit
brought back memories of old times.
| In the convention days every state
| gathering generally had Mr.. Schwarg
listed as a candidate for state treas
! urer, but the bee was always too elu-
him CoIvrorr v1yho
postmaster of Dodge Center for years,
lost his place to a Democratic worker
recently and now he says he is out
of the game for good. He is going to
| rest.

0din Halden, auditor of St. Louis
county, was a capitol visitor and a
conference between him and State In
surance Commissioner Preus revived
the talk concerning Mr.. Halden as a
state auditor possibility. The St.
Louis county man, however, denied
| any connection with the rumor and
said he was content to continue in
! his present Office. Though the talk
connecting State Insurance Commits
sioner Preus with the Office took a
slight slump last week, there has
been a revival OF the rumors and it
now looks as if he would make the
go.

Many are probably not aware Of the
| fact, but the state of Minnesota is
some farmer. Altogether there is
| titled by the state board of control
| nearly 10000 acres of the best farm
| land in the state and it aids mate
| rally in reducing the cost of living
| at the various state institutions.
There are a dozen farms in all and
each is attached to a state institution.
The number of dairy cattle listed at
| the several state farms alone would
put to shame some of the so called
! bonanza ranches.

Every once in while examinations
are held at the state capitol for those
! who banker to join the ranks of the
| inspectors in the employ of the state
dairy and food and labor departments.
! Last week thirty prospectives partic'
ipated in civil service examination
covering the state dairy and food de-
partment. To date the ratio of selec.
tons from the available list has been
one to ten. For your benefit, dear
reader, no one breaks into either de-
partment, civil examination or no ex.
animation, unless those higher up de-
! sire it.
