NO LEGISLATIVE OR COUNTY
TICKETS TO CONSIDER
AT PRIMARIES
ONLY REAL CONTEST is RACE
OF REPUBLICANS FOR
u. S. SENATOR

y Before the next issue of the Review
is published the primary election will
be over and the Democrats and Re-
publicans and other political parties
will have made their choice in the selec-
ton of candidates for the various offices.
Those who call for the Democratic bal
lot will have less trouble to determine
for whom to vote than those who use
the Republican list. The Democrats
have only to vote for candidate for
Senator, Governor, and Lieutenant
Governor. For Senator, Alfred J. Da-
Wis and Daniel W. Lawler are the can
didates. The latter is the better known
of the two and he will no doubt receive
the votes Of those who know him and
are satisfied with his political past.
Those who have no time for D. W..
Lawler, and who have not approved
of his political activities in the past
will simply have to vote for A. J. Davis,
whether they know him or of him, or
MT. For Governor there are three
ndidates-Thomas P. Dwyer, Cy-
rus M. King and S. D. Works. Of
these candidates S. D. Works stands
head and shoulders above his con-
petitors, in address, in executive ability
and in those other attributes which
a candidate for that office should pos
sess. Cyrus M. King is simply a
candidate for this Office, as we are
informed, because some politician in
St. Paul is not friendly to Mr.. Works.
Thos. P. Dwyer has been running
for quite number of Offices in Henne-
pin County without landing any and,
although we do not want to say any,
thing disparaging against the aspira-
tons of Mr.. Dwyer for we believe he
is honest and sincere, we hardly think
that he has the requisite ability for
the position of governor. For Lieuten-
ant Governor, SEVERN N. Sorensen
and Julius Thorson are pitted against
each other. Neither one of them is
very we'll known and it is a toss-up
which of the two will receive the sup
fort of the Democratic voters.
The Republicans have four candi-
dates for the position of United States
Senator. Moses E. Clapp, the pres
ent Senator, is trying to succeed him
self. In the many questions that have
been up in Congress within the last
year or two Senator Clapp has shown
himself quite independent at times,
and those who do not favor the extreme
preparedness program, that some
hysterical people advocate at the pres
ent time, and who are also satisfied
with Senator Clapp's vote on the EN-
barge of Arms and Ammunition to
Belligerents'' have reason to vote for
Mr.. Clapp. Those who believe in a
thorough preparedness and also be-
lieve that Senator Clapp has had
enough political favors shown him
will no doubt vote for Frank B. KEEL
log. The fight apparently seems to
be between these two. Adolph O.
Eberhart and Charles A. Lindbergh
' are the other two candidates and they
seem to have quite few friends and
it is barely possible that there will be
some surprises.
For Governor, J. A. A. Burnquist
and Samuel G. Iverson are against
each for the Republican nomination.
Mr.. Burnquist became Governor through
the death of Governor Hammond and
it is questionable whether he would
ever have been considered as guber-
material timber had he not become
Governor, so to speak, by accident.
We do not believe that a person should
be nominated and allowed to become
nominee because he became Gov
sornor through the death of the Chief
Executive. Mr.. Iverson, who is known
all over the length and breadth of the
land as Sam Iverson, has been State
Auditor for two terms and has proven
himself very efficient and painstaking
official. He is very democratic in his
ways and is practically running on
his own merits and is not backed by
any political machine or power.
For Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court there are only two that will be
considered here and they are James H.
Finn and Albert Schaller One be-
/cause he lives in the southern part of
the State and the other because he
is a German-American Both appear
on the non-partisan ballot
For Lieutenant Governor on the Re
publican ticket, the adherents Of the
