ST. PAUL LETTER

United States Senator Frank B.
kellogg is not to be permitted to loose
sight of the fact that if he wants to
continue his residence at Washington
in his present capacity that another
appeal to the voters will be necessary
and that the time for such an appeal
is fast approaching. Already pros
pective rivals are on the job or rather
the political dopsters are bringing
forth such and if their predictions
count for anything the field will be
a big one. Heading the list is Judge
Oscar Mailman of the State Supreme
Court, and while he has said nothing
that would indicate what he intends
to do, it is known the Judge has
the senatorial itch very bad. Others
mentioned are Fred Snyder of Min
neapolis, Congressman Tom Schall of
the Tenth District, Sydney Anderson
of the First congressional district and
James Manahan of the Nonpartisan
League. Two women, prominent in
Minnesota political circles, Mrs. Cor
dia Severance of St. Paul and Mrs.
Manly Fosseen of Minneapolis are
said to have ambitions in a senatorial
way. Of course no list of possible
senatorial aspirants would be COM
plete without the name of Governor
J. A. O. Preus, but it is hardly likely
that he will be a contender. Jake,
they say, is satisfied for the present.
Speaking of Judge Oscar Hallam,
there was time when the St. Paul
jurist might have made the senatorial
grade, bue he firted too long with
the chance and in the opinion of many
he overlooked his one bet. This came
when Mr.. kellogg fatty refused TO be
candidate, but later under pressure
from the late Bob Dunn and others
of the State editorial association
changed his mind and filed. This was
Judge Hallam's opportunity but he
failed to see the advantage OF it.
Close friends like I. A. Caswell made
such plain, but they were unable to

Next March State political conven-
lions will be the order of the day and
as result those politically ambitious
will find new line of political act
ivity confronting them. 1t means
the opening campaign of the state
three months earlier than usual which
further means that the state game
will be fairly on by next September
at the latest. In the past January OF
each even numbered year has gener-
ally witnessed the opening Of the big
game. Under the new law political
conventions will be held in March and
gates some three weeks earlier. All
those endorsed will go on the regular
the caucuses for the naming of dele
primary ticket and will have the
words endorsed by-conventlon'
placed opposite their names. 1t is
rather early to pick possible conven
ton winners, but in the case of the
Republican party safe guess run:
to the choice of practically all those
now holding office in the State Cap
itol. This would mean ]. A. 0. Preus
Governor, Louis Collins, Lieutenan
Governor, Clifford Hilton, Attorne.
General, Henry Rines, State Treasur
err, Ivan Brown, Railway and Ware
house Commissioner and Ray Chase
State Auditor. Herman Mueller
Clerk, of the Supreme Court come
i up for denomination this time, bu
because of his claimed Nonpartisal
League connection it is hardly ikel
that he will receive the convention
