Sunburg, March Is, 1913.
Editor Willmar Tribune: AS there seems
to be a prevalent belief that will file
as a candidate for denomination for Sen
that I make a public announcement Of
my position. feel that have enough
to do under present conditions to occupy
my time and attention without devoting
much time to political affairs.
I have been asked by many to re-
enter the race for senator. The requests
have come from farmers, including
members Of the Non-partisan League,
business people and others. I surely
much appreciate their confidence and
good will Should have decided to be-
come candidate, in the event OF my
election, I should have taken my orders
only from my constituents, not from
anyone else. have tried always not
to betray my constituents.
Sincerely.

One Lone Contest On Ballot For
Next Tuesday. City

have been a tame affair, but for the f1l-
ing Of o. A. GranEaard. the present A.
SCISSOR. against K. T. Rykken. the@oon-
vention nominee for assessor. Yielding
to many requests Mr.. Grangaard decided
to submit the question to voters at the
election. and the result is that there
will be some interest taken in an elec-
ton which promised to become a very
prefunctory one. No other filings have
been made on the ballot, which closed
.e,st Saturday. If there are to be any
'sticker' candidates, no premonitory
symptoms have been SO tar visible.
