EBERHART MOVE
MAY gain VOTES
FORMER GOVERNOR OF STATE
TO FILE FOR SENATOR
FROM COUNTRY -
SlAPP ONLY CITY MAN NOW
PRESENT INCUMBENT, A PRO-
! GRESSIVE, TO MAKE RACE
AS REPUBLICAN

Kellogg OF st. Paul, the trust buster,
has decided to stick to his trust bust
ing; former Governor A. o. Eberhart
lis going to continue Mankato as his
Illegal residence, and Senator Moses E.
iPClapp is due to file for denomination
las Republican. The latter can hardly
be figured as news, but in view of the
fact that the junior United States sem
iAtor from Minnesota has flirted with
about everything new in party way
his last line of worship was the Pro-
~ressive party-how he will file for a
y; trip to Washington is of some
I. lest. Mr.. Eberhart's decision to
lltinue Mankato as his residence is
ilmportant, as it clears the "Black
EEagle" of city encumbrance and COM
lpels Ramsey county to stand by him
he it desires to remain the home of
lone of Minnesota's senators. AS men,
lory runs the Capital city has claimed
LA United States senatorship for a
score or more years and to let go now,
even though the incumbent did not
sshave it's best wishes, would be against
fsall precedent. The sudden withdrawal
kipf 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
done without consultation with those
hwho have agreed to see him through.
Though a fair sized city Mankato, as
1.-The political game runs, is a part Of
the country, and to pit it with the
zbalance of rural Minnesota, and add
20, Minneapolis with its jealousies Of
years accumulation, against the
Capital City is not bad piece of po-
iAitical engineering. In the senate
rial maneuverings of the week the
existence of Judge Oscar Hallam OF
list. Paul seems to have been over
hooked, a natural mistake in view of
his apparent inactivity, but one that
may yet bring a rude shock. To sew
jeral down here Judge Hallam is a
i5Fery much live one, and his zone OF
influence is not confined to Ramsey
3,sounty, either. st. Louis county, they
Ssay, regards him with favor, and Hen
lhepin is by no means offish.
A political alliance between United
States Senator Clapp and Congress
,.snan Lindbergh of the Sixth district
gwho, according to his own announce
sment, desires to transfer his activities
ALTO the governorship, has long been re-
Algarded as fact. Such is not strange
when it is known that the two have
much in common in political way
libut it takes more than one swallow
when a fellow is handed chunk like
this: congressman Lindbergh ano
-. Buchanan have Joined hands II
'~~ Sixth congressional district" A
" zkth district live one brought the
buchanan Lindbergh loveclasp to st
Paul and he declared that it wa:
straight even though it might lool
fishy. Mr.. Buchanan, for your benefit
dear reader, wants the Republican
nomination for congressman which
Mr.. Lindbergh has decided to pass vi
for the governorship. If there eve
were two opposites it is "Buck" am
s hindbergh. The latter is Of the OLE
gschool, while Lindbergh has consist
entity fought for anything bearing tina
label. While almost beyond belief TIN
reported alliance, however, is no
nwithout reason, for if reports are tru'
H;sBuck" is the big cit" in the presen
Sixth district scramble and the goo'
things he can turn over to friend IL
