This matter should be taken up
with your state attorney.
S. G. Severtson
State Examiner
Evidently Mr.. Wright thought
he could fill the office more ac-
ceptably and hence his candida
icy. There are others in the field
however. 1t is said that Ole
Lingtige Of Aurina and Mike
Tellefson of Garrison are after
the same office. Undoubtedly
Hanson will try to succeed him
self and with three Scandinavians
in the field against him, he stand.
a good show of getting the nomi-
nation.
The states attorneys office is
another one for which there is
going to be a scramble. The
present incumbent is very popu-
lar personally but the feeling is
general throughot the county
that he is not able to convict men
grossly guilty of flemish crimes
even with expert and costly as
sistance, hence there is bitter
determination to get good man
in the office. The ablest man
that has come out for the office il
il. T. McCuloch Of Washburn.
There will be no need of expens-
live assistance if McCulloch gets
the office,
Herbert O'Hare also Attorney
Fraser of Garrison are candida
tes for the office. Fraser is said
to possess considerable ability as
well as knowledge of law and
the same can be said Of O'Hare.
But the most popular man for thu
office is j. E. Williams of Turtle
Lake. He has been state senator
and is well known. He is strong
everywhere, while not as good a
trial lawyer as some in the field
he is as honest as they make them
and possess what is known as
= : horse sense. -
Another office for which there
will be a contest is that of the
register of deeds. Andrew Rel
tan, the present incumbent halls
from Wilton. He has run the Of
flee economically and in busi-
ness ike way, nevertheless he viii
have serious opposition. Against
him will be pitted a very popular
man by the name of Mattson tf
Roseglen. Reitan is going to b..
hard to defeat, even if he did say
he only wanted the office for one
term. *..o.N.
Another office for which there
is a scramble is that of county
treasurer. There are three Re-
publicans in the field for this
nomination. Adolph Wacker also
George Yackey of Washburn and
a Mr.. Edwards Of Benedict. 1t
is hard to say which Of these
will be nominated, probably Ed
wards viii be, with Wacker a
good second.
The judge of probate office
will probably go to the present in
cumbent, George Gibson, without
opposition tho time may develop
some.
The candidate for the legisla-
ture are in chaotic condition
owing to the fact, that the office
costs twice as much as one get
out of it. Phil Eastman of Will
ton, O'Shea one of the jurors cn
the Anderson murder case is
another and. a banker from Max
by the name Of Freitag is another
For the senate there are two
candidates, j. r. Nelson of Garri-
son and F. E. Wright of Max.
The Bismarck Tribune had a po-
litical spiel from Mclean county
this week claiming that King
John was out for the senate.
This comes from standpat, repub-
lican sources.
John Satterlund is not a can
didate for the senate. Men like
Alex Mckenzie, j. +. McC Culloch
$P. j. McCumber and j. e.. Nelson
are determined to keep King Joh
down. They fear him and have
reason to. John Satterlund is the
best man Mclean county could
send to the senate; but he is not
"a candidate tho the spernicious
activity Of certain reactionaries
may cause the people to love him
for the enemies he has made
and force him to run.
