full. This year may change the vote,
but not through the candidacy of Mr..
Levang. 1t is whispered that there
is to be another Warwick in the field.
Just who is not known, but there need
be no surprise if it should be the re-
doubtable Jim Tawney himself. The
conditions are brewing and the hands
of the First district politicians are all
stirring the brew. Mr.. Anderson must
be given credit for being one of the
very few Republican representatives
in congress who two years ago stood
pat for the Republican ticket, both
state and national, and among Repub-
lican partisans this will go long way
towards getting him votes at the pri-
maries on June 10 for denomination.
In this connection there is likely to
be opposition to other present repre-
sentatives in congress. In the Sec
ond district Franklin F. Ellsworth is
not overly popular by reason of his
sitting in with the Democratic nomi-
nee for governor two years ago, and
a candidate is likely to develop
against him. In the Third district Rep
resentative Davis and his entire ma
chine opposed the election of Senator
George H. Sullivan for delegate from
that district, and the latter gentleman
winning out triumphantly over the
Davis candidate, J. j. Rachac, it is
possible that Mr.. Sullivan will make
the run against Mr.Davis for the nom
ination for representative, and that if
he does not Senator A. j. Rockne of
Goodhue county, one of the most pop
ular men in the entire state, will be
induced to make the run. In the
Fourth district Carl Van Dyke, Dem
ocrat, is not likely to have opposition
at the primaries, but he will be COM
fronted by Oar F. Reese, the Repub-
lican nominee, at the election, and
that gentleman is due to throw some
scare into Mr.. Van Dyke. The Sixth
district field, with Mr.. Lindbergh out
OF 1t, is wide open with no less than
seven candidates, the last to enter be-
ing Thomas ]. Sharkey, heretofore
Progressive, filing for the Republican
nomination. Edward L. Rogers, the
Indian university football player and
all around athlete and good fellow
also is in the race and is due to get
his quota Of votes. 1t is uncertain up
in that district, but C. B. Buchanan is
the bet. In the Seventh district Tom
Davis of Marshall may oppose A. J.
Volstead, but the knowing ones pick
Volstead to succeed himself.
Irving A. Caswell has no opposition
so far for national committeeman. Int
some efforts have been made lately to
detach Republican delegates elect
from the Caswell camp and throw the
question up in the air. It is being
complicated with the question of who
shall be chairman of the delegation.
That honor is desired by several del
egates. Caswell's friends say he has
clear sailing for the national commit
tee post, rgardless of what the oppo-
sition may do.
Judge Ira B. Mills, whose term as
member of state railway and ware
house commission expires this wear
IS the record holder for long service
at the capitol. He served six years on
the railroad commission when it was
appolntlve, was out two years during
the Lind administration, and has
served on the elective commission
ever since it went ON that basis in
1901, making twenty-five years he will
have served next January. Before he
became railroad commissioner he was
on the district bench. 1t is expected
Judge Mills will announce his candi-
dacy in due time.
Lyndon A. Smith has made no for
NAL announcement, but the fact that
ne will run for reelection as attorney
general is we'll settled. He practically
gave assurance to that effect to the
two men who have recently come into
the department as assistants. Thew
did not wish to give up private prac-
tlce to go into the office for a few
months only.
State Treasurer A. C. Gooding will
not be candidate in the coming pri-
maries, according to some of his
friends. He has withheld his state
ment OF intentions for some time, but
now it is said he has decided to serve
out this year only and then return to
the presidency of his bank at Roches-
ter. Mr.. Gooding was not a candidate
Tor the appointment and accepted it
with the statement that he might not
be a candidate for an elective term.
