continue to grow, now that a

DEMOCRATS BOOST POWER
Northern Minnesotans Said to Favor
"Hibbing's Fighting Mayor" for
Governor.

Hibbing.-There is a movement On
foot among range Democrats to boost
the candidacy of Victor Power, "Hib-
bings Fighting Mayor" the man who
won the tax fight for the biggest vii
1age on the range, for governor.
At meeting of Virginia Democrats
the name of Mayor Power was seri-
ously mentioned as a candidate whom
the range Democrats should indorse.
They believe he has the brains and
courage to fill the executive chair and
that his candidacy would be popular
Mayor Powers friends are perplexed
over this latest twist in politics, as he
is strong Republican, but they state
the people of Northern Minnesota will
be to a man with him if he enters the
race. The Twin Cities already have
shown their favoritism towards the
Power boom, it is said.
