Charles A. Lindbergh of the Sixth dis
5trict-Little Falls is his home has
elected to take flyer in gubernatorial
preferred, and the Republican king
makers are anxiously scanning the
horizon for the next entry. AS the
circus posters tell it, "Three- Count
'em-Three," now await the command
of the starter-Charles A. Lindbergh,
Samuel G. Iverson and James Peter
son-so get your money ready. It is
even money now, but there may be
odds later. Two more, julius Schmahl
and Lieutenant Governor Burnquist,
are champing at the bit and if they
get in it may complicate betting. Lind
bergh tossed his hat into the ring just
prior to the option election in Henne-
pin county and the column and half
announcement in the Twin City papers
which prefaced his enrance was I'm.
doubtedly based on the bunch that the
largest population centre in the state
would go dry. Boiled down, his an
nouncement was really nothing more
men," but the spectacular was there
and the expected Hennepin county re-
suit undoubtedly was figured on to
furnish the fireworks. AS the expect
ed did not happen in Hennepin county
the question now is where will Mr..
Lindbergh get his thunder. Down
here Mr.. Lindbergh is accepted as an
uncompromising prohibitionist and
they can hardly see how he can run on
any other issue. Of course he has
other schemes for the relief of man.
kind but prohibition stands above
them all. How Jim Peterson and Sam
Iverson received the news of Mr..
Lindbergh's candidacy is not of record
but | do know that Mr.. Iverson was a
caller at the state capitol the next
day and his smile was broader and
bigger than ever. julius Schmahl was
another who wore the smile that won't
come off, while Jim Peterson-well for
a wonder he did not say anything. He
did not even smile.
Whatever may be said of Congress
man Lindbergh he has been consistent
in the course he adopted when he first
entered congress six years ago.
Though much money and temper has
been wasted in an effort to get him he
has weathered every storm and it is
pretty certain that if the governor
ship does not look good to him and he
decides to withdraw that he can return
as congressman. Two years ago he
was slated for United States senator,
but at the last moment sought his old
job instead and though the flower of
the district was pitted against him in
the nomination he walked off with
the bacon. When Mr.. Lindbergh took
on the title of congressman Minnesota
was just breaking into the progressive
ranks and as a starter sent James A.
Tawney and others of conservative
habits to the discard. Among them
also was C. B. Buchanan, whom Mr..
Lindbergh succeeded. Mr.. Tawney'sS
successor, Sidney Anderson, promised
to be bad actor in respect to observ-
ing precedent; he was decidedly un-
ruly for period, but he soon saw the
light and is now as meek as any of
them. Lindbergh, however, was of
more lasting stuff and has ever since
stuck by his principles. He has little
in common with the other congress-
men from Minnesota and practically
plays a lone hand. James A. Martin,
of managerial fame, Frank M. Eddy of
Sank Centre and Alvah Eastman of
the St. Cloud Journal Press might be
said to have put Congressman Lind
bergh on the political map. AS post
mastersof st. Cloud, Martin early
broke with C. B. Buchanan, then rep
resenting the district, and Mr.. East
man and Frank Eddy were pulled into
the war of determination which fol-
lowed. Lindbergh was picked to put:
Buchanan out of business and how we'll
he succeeded is of record. That the
three named, however, will continue
their efforts to advance Mr.. Lind
bergh's political ambitions Is hardly
probable. Mr.. Martin broke with the
Little Falls man shortly after he was
elected, the differences between the
two being some campaign debts in
