W0LFER WANTED

Former Prison Warden is
Looked on as Republican
Moses.

and who retired last fall. is being fire.
quently spoken of as likely candidate
for the republican nomination for
governor of Minnesota in 1916. It is
true that Mr.. Wolfer's name has been
linked with the governorship on sew
eral previous occasions, but until re-
GENTLY no attention has been paid to
it in political circles,
The republicans are looking for a
Moses to lead them out of the wilder
ness. Colonel William E. Lee tried
to do it in 1914 but fell down on the
job. Now it is said on good authority
that he wants to try it again, and nat
urally the leaders Of all factions are
fighting shy of the Long Prairie bank
er-politician, fearing. that he may
bring about another disaster should he
enter the ring.
What the G. O. P. bosses want is a.
business man acceptable to all factions
any many Of them think they have
found the best candidate in the person
OF Mr.. Wolfer. He rs not an agitator
like James A. Peterson Of Minnea polls,
another prospective candidate, and has
tthe advantage of never having taken
dill dCIlFe part IN pOllttCS,
1t is argued that the former warden
has hundreds of friends and no per-
sonal enemies, while any other person
mentioned for the governorship has at
some time or other been mixed up in
one or the other of the republican fac
tions and has thus incurred the en-
nifty of the others.
Friends of Mr.. Wolfer also assert
that his nomination would serve to
eliminate the liquor question from the
campaign. thing greatly desired
among republicans who see in this
squabble the chief reason for the de-
feat of Colonel Lee.
| In Favor With Farmers.
| Other arguments. however, are be.
ing used. 1t is pointed out that the
warden while at the penitentiary es.
tablished the twins and farm machin-
cry plants Through these, it is sai5

the farmers hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars on both Of these commodities
AS a campaign slogan, nothing
could be better. it is asserted than the
presentation of these facts on behalf
Of Mr.. Wo]fer, with the additional
statement that the plants not only
made money but furnished enough tc
make the big prison self sustaining
thus relieving the taxpayers of a heavy
maintenance burden which has caused
so much complaint in some other
states. u

Paul. and is the head Of shoe manu-
