MANAGER WORKS

the one interesting thing in a sena-,
torial way and the gossip concerning
him has been of an interesting charac-
ter. Friends say he is ready but does
not think the present an opportune
time to get in, while others. say he
wants to break in but is afraid of
the outcome. What is really stump
ing Mr.. Kellogg as well as Judge Hal
lam, former Governor Eberhart and
others mentioned in connection with
the United States senatorship from
Minnesota is Mr.. Clapp's strength
and the possibility of pulling down
the nomination. They know Moses is
cordially hated by the "boys" and
that in the population centers es-
pecially they would roll up their
sleeves and back any one to beat
him, but whether or not such is suffi-
cient is another thing. AS one politi-
cal writer points out Congressman
Lindberg of the Sixth district is
hated so bad by the "boys" that they
grit their teeth every time they men,
tion his name, but when election day
rolls around he walks away with the
bacon. 1t is the backwoods vote that
puts him over and it is this same vote
that may figure in Senator Clapp's
case. Judge Hallam and former
Governor Eberhart are comparatively
new figures in a senatorial way, but
Mr.. Kellogg has been frequently men
toned in connection with the office.
Four years ago it looked as if he was
going to get into the game and two
years later his name was again used.
Among business men no man stands
higher in their estimation, and as to
the legal fraternity he is regarded as
the foremost lawyer in Minnesota.
Admirers of Roosevelt remember him
as a staunch follower of the "Big
Stick" and the state at large as the
leading "trust buster" of the nation.
These are some qualifcations-but
are they enough?
The advice, "hire a hail." has not
been lost upon Mayor Victor Power of
Hibbing, styled the richest little vii
lage in the world, and last week saw
him the center of an admiring crowd
in Minneapolis, which city he Sc
lected to voice his grievances against
Oliver Mining Company and others
which have refused to pay about $780,
900 in taxes charged against them.
AS crowds went it was a corker and
the doughty little mayor was in his
element, for what he lacked in ora
tory big parade, with many social
istic and record stinging placards
supplied. Accepting Mayor Powers
statement Hibbing and it's officers,
including himself, are the most
maligned things in the world, but
while being maligned it looks pretty
much to a man up a tree as if the
mayor was not at all adverse to the
OBJ which he says the mine owners
are putting up. Governor Power was
the title used frequently at his Min
neapolis meetings and it seemed to
set well. If the Hibbing mayor gets
into the game it is certain that he
will not be permitted to forget the
filibuster that was engineered in the
last house for his benefit and which
cost the taxpayers many needed laws
and some coin. This filibuster was
for the purpose of. heading off $25
per capita bill introduced for the ben
eft of Hibbing and other cities with
an itch to spend money recklessly, and
it was successful.
Oar Reese of St. Paul, whose stem
torian voice has been heard over the
state for over a quarter of a century
in behalf of the Republican ticket
and its candidates, probably will be
found in the list for congressman
next year. Friends are pushing him
for the job in the Fourth district and
it looks pretty much as if he will
enter. In days gone by Oar was clerk
of the supreme court and as such goes
he was quite power. No convention
was complete without him and when
the speakers list was made up he
was a top liner. Of late years he
has been rather quiet, but neverthe-
less he has kept in close touch with
the game. AS a Republican there are
many who think Mr.. Reese will make
things lively for Congressman Van
Dyke, the present Democratic incum-
bent.
At the close of last week $1,000
automobiles were registered in Min
nesota and Secretary of State
.Schmahl, who has this task in charge,
was confident that the close of the
year would see the 100000 figure
One New York newspaper authority,
in commenting upon the number of
machines in the Gopher state, places
their value at $3.50 each. Minneapolis,
which is credited with few over 49,
900 machines, has twice the number
st. Paul is credited with, but in point
of value the Capital city leads. It
has fewer number, but it's lists con-
tain more $4,000 and $4,000 cars.
Fords and other cheap machines are
in minority here.
