New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-09-05

who was recently replaced by James
Sorenson of Albert Lea is being groomed
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor in the 1918 campaign. Mr..
Farrell may also be given the endorse
ment of the Farmers Non-Partisan
Political league. He is said to be held
in high esteem by the farmers Of the state,
for the fight that he has made during
his term of office against the oleomar-
garine manufacturers.
- Combine is Talked.
It has been suggested by MIR. FarrelPs
hackers that he and Representative
Edward Indrehus Of Foley, another
Democrat with gubernatorial ambitions,
should do team work. Indrehus also Is
deeply interested in the Nonpartisan
league and its plans regarding the
governorship.
It would be an excellent plan, those in
the scheme say, for Farrell, whose home
is at Carver, to run for the governor
ship, while 1ndrehus seeks the lieu
tenant governship. Then they could
. combine their strength. If the Non
partisan league holds it's convention,
they could then seek the nomination
at the hands of that convention, and
an Endorsement from the Democratic
s'conference' later on. Or, if the
Democrats should meet first they could
seek nominations there and an indorse-
ment from the league later.
They admit that the Democratic
leaders are opposed to any alliance
between their party and any other
organization in the next campaign,
but say they hope to win them over.
Dissatisfaction in North.
People in the Northern part of the
state are still dissatisfied over the
Governors veto of the wolf bounty,
drainage and deficiency school aid
appropriations, Senator L. H. Nord
of International Falls said when he
was in St. Paul last week. The We
toes hit the people there hard, ac-
cording to Senator Nord, and they
are out to elect another governor next
year.
Senator Nord still believes that Judge
O. M. Stanton of Bemidji will be the
Democratic candidate, Notwithstanding
the fact that he is not seeking the nomi-
nation.
Putnam For Attorney General.
The boom for Frank E. Putnam for
attorney general seems to be grow
ing rapidly in Northern Minnesota.
Politicians from that section will ia
vor him for anything he may want.
S. Most would support him for the gov
ernorship or supreme bench as much
as for attorney generalship, although
business interests want him as at
torney general. The reason is Put
MANS conversion, which occurred two
years ago.
In common with most representa-
tives from Southern Minnesota, he
formerly had opposed most measures
desired by the Northern counties.
Then he made trip through that Sec
ton and in speech at Baudette, he
declared that he had seen great light
and that henceforth he would be for
the things that Northern Minnesota
wanted and needed. He kept his
word at the last session of the Legi-
lature, and the people up there are duly
grateful.
Working For Development.
The high cost of labor and building
materials is said to be hampering the
commission in charge of the improve
ment of state lands for the benefit OF
settlers, but the commission is 60
ing ahead with the work as best it can
and expects to make showing to
the next Legislature that will Danish
the doubts of those who thought the
scheme impractical. The demand fol
land is so great that it is believed
many settlers will make larger payments
than the minimum required by law
This will help the financial end. Thu
state auditors's office has selected a.
many tracts as possible that are partly
cleared, or where there is only brusl
that easily can be removed. None.
saved in this way can be used for tn
small buildings the commission is to erect
By close maneuvering one way ane
another it is thought that the public
can be satisfied in spite of war price
and this will insure continuance of tn
plan to make these lands salable by max
ing them habitable for the man of small
means.
