Capitol.

| One or the acknowledged live wires
in a state political and official way
is Julius A. Schmahl, the present Sc.
cretary Of state. For better than
ten years he has officiated in the
latter capacity and it lis generally
agreed that he could round out an
other decade or SO in the same office
if he so desired, but close friends
have a hunch that the thousands
who have supported the Redwood
Falls man in the past may have a
chance next year to pass upon his
qualifications for the Republican
nomination for governor. They
know he has long had ambitions in
that direction and while they do not
know positively that he will permit
the use of his name they are conf
dent that the kingmakers will have
to reckon with Mr. Schmahl when
the states are being prepared. If
not a candidate, he will at least
have something to say regarding who
will be the next Republican standard
bearer: A year ago should have seen
Mr.. Schmahl in the race. The De-
mocratic administration of that per-
iod, confident of such, was preparing
to put the fight of it's life, but with
the sudden death of, Governor Ham
mond everything went by the board
and the secretary of state bowed to
the inevitable. The retirement of
his gubernatorial hopes for period
of at least four years was generally
agreed. With the growing tendency
to crowd the present Republican in
cumbent, however, the four years set
back-generally admitted then-does
not look so strong now and those in
terested in the gubernatorial game
are inclined to regard the secretary
of states gubernatorial chance as
good as ever, and to admit that if
he does get in it will be some scrap
for the other fellow. There is not
another as well advertised nnans in
the state as julius A. Schmahl. For
better than quarter Of a. century
julius has been before the public in
some official capacity and to go a.
gainst him for his present job is re-
garded as akin to suicide. His name
is a household word. Since the war
began the Redwood Falls man has
been recognized part of the great
loyalty propaganda now on. He gave
his only SON to the army and his
voice is sever raise din behalf of the
great: cause, Pressed as to his pos
sible future political intentions, MIR.
schmahl only answers, "Wait." He
cannot be induced to commit him.
self, but one can easily see that if
things look good julius may make
the go. In any event keep your eye
on him. The other fellow is doing
that now.

State Treasurer .Rines notified all

tricts will be delayed until the time
of the tax settlement next March
because of pending legislation, which
ties up the funds, now totaling more
than $2,750,000. 90. The notice was
given in reply to many inquiries as
to when the remittances might be
expected, as aid usually is distribut-
ed in November. The treasurer sug-
gests that it be given out to school
officials that school finances may be
adjusted accordingly. The litigation
referred to followed Governor Burn.
