a noted Eastern political writer on
a visit to the Twin Cities recently
declared such was only a duplication
of the methods that had kept Hoover
in the public eye all through the
period of the war as federal food di-
rector. 1T probably is a shame to
puncture the popular idea regarding

as far his superior in this respect. IN
the creation and conduct of the de-
partment of which Mr.. Hoover was
the head individuality was the key
note and hundreds of the best and
highest paid newspaper men of the
country did nothing to popularize
the name of Hoover. 1t was figured
that such would bring the best re-

done George did it. He was decided

State political. interests are keep
ing an eye on the Nonpartisan
League state convention to be held
in ST. Paul next week when a full
list of candidates for the several
state offices will be named. Nom
partisan gubernatorial talk runs to
Prof. West, late of the State Uni
versity and DIR. Shipsted of the
Seventh district, but neither is a
certainty. Prof. West is the author
of book with decided Socialistic
tone and this may put him out of the
running. C. A. Lindberg, the late
candidate of the league wrote book
and it was a decided handicap.
There is a possibility that the
coming republican state convention
to name delegates to the national
convention may encroach on the state
ticket. 1t is said that move is on
to use the same delegates for the
elimating purpose. 1t is further
charged by some of the opposition
that friends of State Auditor Preus
are identifying themselves with the
presidential movement for the pur-
pose of satisfying Mr.. Preus' guber-
Material ambitions but there is moth
ing to verify the claim. The bunch
a week ago was that Mr.. Preus name
would be in the gubernatorial pot
by this time, but so far the good
looking state auditor has failed to
break the silence.
The name of Major Royal A. Stone,
at one time member of the attorney
general staff, is being mentioned in
connection with that office. Major
Stone is now engaged in private
practice. Another spoken of is Con-
gresham Franklin Ellsworth, who
lately announced his retirement from
the republican gubernatorial race.
0. P. B. Jacobson of the state
railroad and warehouse commission
has again filed for the republican
nomination for his present position.
He admits that his one ambition is
to be permitted to get by without op-
position. He would appreciate it
very much.
One of the latest ideas in connec-
ton with office holding where the
voters bi-annually pass on the in
cumbent is to do nothing that will at
tract public attention to the office.
Such is held to be important about
this time of the year when persistent
seeks are about looking for lucrative
