BRISK CONTESTS
FOR co. OFFICES
FERDINAND ]. BORGMANN FILES
FOR COMMISSIONERS FROM
FIFTH DISTRICT.
WILL Be STRONG CANDIDATE
RYiLEGISLATIVE FIGHT is
WARMING UP-COMPLETE 4
LIST OF CANDIDATES.

Filings for nominations for county
offices closed Tuesday evening. There
were number of eleventh hour en-
tries into the game among whom were
Ferdinand Bergman, the well known
Sank Centre township farmer, as a
candidate for commissioner form the
Fifth commissioner district.
For number of weeks leading citi-
zens have been casting about for a
live wire 100 per cent American candi-
date to oppose the present incumbent,
Ben Ellering. Mr.. Borgmann was the
first choice in every instance. At first
he would not consider the proposition
but after assurances of strong sup
port from Melrose, Meiere Grove,
Greenwald and other parts of the dis
trict he finally gave his consent to
file. 1t is absolutely a case of the office
seeking the man. The Bergman name
has long been an honored one in West
ern Stearns. Ferd is wide awake
farmer and during the past year has
rendered valiant service to his coun-
try by serving as member of the To-
cal draft board. His decisions have
been manifestly fair and impartial
and the friends he has made
during this period will be a tower of
strength to him in his canvass. Of
course it will not be necessary for him
to make primary fight, and his cleo
ton by handsome majority in No
vember is generally conceded.
Peter Robischon, another Sank
Centre man promises to make things
lively in the register of deeds race.
The late filing Of Henry Woebken-
berg as candidate for this job, gums
the cards slightly at the primaries.
Woebkenberg lived in this city for a
time and his entry into the game is
looked upon as a joke by Sank Centre
folks. He will be eliminated at the
primaries beyond doubt.
The remaining days of the primary
campaign will see some dust raised
over the senatorial and representative
nominations in this district. Charles
R. Bruce of Sank Centre will get into
the game with vigor in few days and
Thos. Flahaven the Nonpartisan candi-
date from Getty township is working
diligently. 1t is to presumed that
John j. Winter who has filed for re-
election is also busy.
The race for the senatorship nomi-
nation will be warm one. Senator p. A.
Hilbert of Melrose is making 100
per cent American campaign. He is
oppbsed.by Ferdinand Peters the Cold
Spring brewe rand Mr., Loonam Nom
partisan, and a farmer. Senator Hill
bert is carrying his fight against the
Nonpartisan League right into their
strongholds and is meeting with con-
siderable success. He will be one of
the nominees at the primaries.
Henry J. Limperich who has been
clerk of the district court for many
years filed late Tuesday for the office
of county auditor against Nicholas
Thomey, the present incumbent. There
will be no primary contest for this
