FORMER GOVERNOR OF STATE
TO FILE FOR SENATOR
FROM COUNTRY
SlAPP ONLY CITY MAN NOW
PRESENT INCUMBENT, A PRO-
GRESSIvE, TO MAKE RACE
J AS REPUBLICAN

g
has decided to stick to his trust bust
ing; former Governor A. o. Eberhart
IT'S going. to continue Mankato as his
Illegal residence, and Senator Moses E.
fIClapp is due to file for denomination
las Republican. The latter can hardly
be figured as news, but in view of the
tj{act that the junior United States sem
jktor from Minnesota has flirted with
: tabout everything new in party way
his last line of worship was the Pro-
~ressive party-how he will file for a
~. trip to Washington is of some
~ Test. Mr.. Eberhart's decision to
q ,tinue Mankato as his residence is
4Nmportant, as it clears the "Black
EEagle" of city encumbrance and COM
lpels Ramsey county to stand by him
klH it desires to remain the home of
one of Minnesota's senators. AS MEM
Tory runs the Capital city has claimed
Ia United States senatorship for a
score or more years and to let go now,
even though the incumbent did not
sshave its best wishes, would be against
jail precedent. The sudden withdrawal
Hpf Mr.. Eberhart from st. Paul, where
he owns home and maintains an Of
Tic, is not without its significance
land in the minds of many was not
kdone without consultation with those
who have agreed to see him through.
Though fair sized city Mankato, as
NEhe political game runs, is a part of
athe country, and to pit it with the
balance of rural Minnesota, and add
-. Minneapolis with its jealousies of
years accumulation, against the
Capital City is not bad piece of po-
Witical engineering. In the senate
fial maneuverings of the week the
existence of Judge Oscar Hallam of
Est. Paul seems to have been over
hooked, a natural mistake in view of
ibis apparent inactivity, but one that
may yet bring a rude shock. To sew
teral down here Judge Hallam is a
iSery much live one, and his zone of
Influence is not confined to Ramsey
s,sounty, either. st. Louis county, they
Asay, regards him with favor, and Hen
lhepin is by no means offish.
A political alliance between United
Estates Senator Clapp and Congress
.snan Lindbergh of the Sixth district,
Ewho, according to his own announce
fment, desires to transfer his activities
tsto the governorship, has long been re-
slgarded as fact. Such is not strange
when ii is known that the two have
jmuch In common in political way,
lbut it takes more than one swallow
when fellow is handed chunk like
this: congressman Lindbergh and
- Buchanan have joined hands in
Sixth congressional district" A
q 1<th district live one brought the
z8uckman-Lindbergh loveclasp to st.
Paul and he declared that it was
straight even though it might look
lsfishy. Mr.. Buchanan, for your benefit,
dear reader, wants the Republican
nomination for congressman which
Mr.. Lindbergh has decided to pass up
for the governorship. If there ever
were two opposites it is "Buck" and
4 Lindbergh. The latter is of the old
school, while Lindbergh has consist
emily fought for anything bearing that
label. While almost beyond belief the
reported alliance, however, is not
4 without reason, for if reports are true
u Buck" is the big cit" in the present
Sixth district scramble and the good
things he can turn over to a friend in
need are not to be sneezed at. OF
course anything like log rolling is re-
pugnant to Mr.. Lindbergh, who has
written extensively and spoken much
regarding the vice; still we are all
human, and Mr.. Lindbergh may not
$50 much different from the rest OF
Common report has credited James
Mammalian, former congressman at
large, with gubernatorial aspirations,
but the latest story is to the effect
that he is considering try at the
i United States senatorship. Jim, it was
stated, had taken the matter up with
friends and they were considering it.
Accepting the judgment of some Man.
ahan would pull from Senator Clapp
|, in the event that he got into the sena-
torial game, but such is doubtful.
Jin's measurement was taken when
Lyndon A. Smith distanced him for
sttorney generalship last year and
: It is considered that he was at the
heighth of his popularity then. Still
Jim is resourceful cuss and you
never can tell.
While on the subject of senator
ship / might say that Congressman
Davis of the Third district is not any
too well pleased with A. o. Eberhart's
announcement that he will file for
senator from Blue Earth county. 1t
ssihly is not generally known, but
rDavis has had the senatorial bug
Akr some time and if he did enter the
Pace the fact that he was country
candidate was to be made much of.
