STATE POLITICS
HOW THE CANDIDATES SEEM TO
BE FARING - ALREADY RE-
SUITS ARE BEING PREDICTED.

The Independent. has been keeping
fairly close tab on state politics anc
while we do not claim to be wizard
it's pretty easy to fortell results ir
some instances. ",
It appears as tho Hanna will surely
be nominated for governor, altho Bur-
dick is working hard and will get more
votes than many believed he would
early in the campaign. Wishek, the
German Bundles candidate, will be
third in the race.
Tom Hall, for Secretary of State;
Walter Taylor, for Insurance Commits.
sioner; and Carl Jorgenson for State
Auditor, have no opposition.
The fight for State Treasurer is a
good one. Tharalson, Putnam, Steen
and Berg are all after the plum. Put
nam has mighty good chance Of win
ming.
It looks like Kraabel Of Clifford will
easily win for Lieutenant Governor,
while Linde has walk-away for At
torney General.
The real contest for Commissioner
Of Agriculture lies between Holbein
and Hutchinson and the friends of the
former need not be surprised il he
wins.
For Congress in the Third district,
Simpson will give Norton a trimming
while many predict that Tuttle will
defeat Young in the second.
The Senatorial fight is getting in
teresting. Gronna seems to have the
lead.
