If they can help it Hennepin county

Minnesota hngsmakers sized up an
other Republican presidential posi-
bility in the person of James r. Mann
of Illinois, the Republican House lead
er. Mr.. Mann was a guest of the
State Bar association at it's annual
meeting at st. Cloud and from re-
ports made an excellent impression.
It is not thought that Mr.. Mann has
many followers in Minnesota, at any
rate his name has figured but little in
the small discussion so far INDUCED
in concerning his presidency. AS I
stated in a previous letter Justice
Hughes of New York has the lead
here and will come pretty near get
ting the delegation if he gets into the
game.
If the statement of an upstate paper
is to be taken seriously friends Of
Secretary of State Schmahl are some
what peeved over the way some of
the higher ups have been trying to
hand it to the secretary. They say
it is all because Mr.. Schmahl is be-
lieved to have gubernatorial aspira-
lions and that the strength he is dis
playing looks dangerous. The secre-
tary, according to the story, has been
disciplined several times by State
Auditor Preus, who has refused to ap-
prove bills growing out of visits made
to various sections of the state. One
of these was in answer to call from
Virginia, where he delivered Fourth
of July speech, and the other was to
Duluth. julius was compelled to pay
the bills out of his own pocket and
this, his friends declare, was for the
purpose of putting curb on his
gubernatorial aspirations. The new
state auditor has started number
of innovations regarding expense
bills made by the various depart
ments and perhaps that presided ov-
er by Mr.. Schmahl has been hit. So
far have not heard any complaint
from the others. D.. -.
Politicians and officeholders did not
overlook the midsummer, meeting of
state editors recently held at Duluth.
They Were there in force and quite
a few were down for talks. Secretary
of State Schmahl and State Auditor
Preus were among those who enter

LIE Sueur county has twoa bids, in
for the location of the swomen's state
reformatory. Cleveland, the home of
Speaker Flowers wants it, tu and so
does LIE Sueur, the stamping ground
of State Senator H. F. Weis. Each
town has picked a site for the new
institution and declares it will land
it. Senator Weis is putting up a
warm fight for the prize. -s,;~.
With the passing of the saloon the
