Two years ago about this time
party leaders were in throes Of a
primary contest that is probably
without a parellel in the history
Of the primary act. No less than
six candidates were listed for the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor while seven was the figure
on the Democratic side Of the
house. OF the Republican con-
testants three were easily dead
ones at the state and a fourth
proved SO when the ballots were
counted. With the Democrats
the ratio Of dead ones was even
greater. What the 1920 state
primaries cost will never be
known. but that the expense
represented a pretty penny goes
without saying. In sharp con-
trast is the present contest. Only
two candidates have filed for the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor while a number of the
other convention nominees are
without opposition. As to a
preprimary campaign there will
not be any to speak Of. The con-
ventions did the trick. Great
is the convention"

many filings for county Offices
and the state legislature as is
now recorded in the various
counties in Minnesota. Hundreds
have gone office mad. The prize
position seems to be that of
sheriff. In several counties an
even dozen candidates are listed
for this one office alone. Asked
for an explanation, one upstate
official said that all he could see
was that majority of those
after the various official posi-
tions were jobless. All that was
required was a small filing fee
and with the primary law as the
medium each figured that his
chances were as good as the
other fellow. In many cases the
pie hunters are said to be abso-
lutely without fitness.

Mrs. Peter Oleson, Democratic
candidate for United States sem
ator, is nothing if not an adver-
tiser, though some may not agree
with the methods used. Acting
on information, said to have been
supplied by Zeke Austin of Min
neapolis, that her nomination
was manipulated by Republicans
interested in Senator Kellogg,
Mrs. Oleson has asked Attorney
General Hilton to give the rumor
his official attention. Money was
used she has been informed. AS
the evidence is all heresay Mr..
Hilton has refused to give the
matter serious consideration.
He says it sounds like the work
Of practical jokers. Mrs. Oleson
is facing additional trouble in
a possible demand that she file
under her own name instead of
her husbands first name and
without the prefix Mrs. At
torney General Hilton has so
ruled in the case Of other women
candidates for office.

Full with the knowledge that
Gov. J. A. o. Preus, who has
again been chosen the Repub-
lican standard bearer is prac-
tically unbeatable, the Nonparti-
san League and the Democrats,
it is reported, are preparing to
give their undivided attention to
the United States senatOrship.
This means that the big end of
the fight this year will be direct
ed against Frank B. Kellogg.
This tendency is indicated in an
editorial way by several League
controlled papers and it is
further reported that a move
ment is now on for the thorough
organization of the Red River
Valley in an anti-Kellogg way.
The League believes it has a
senatorial winner in DR.. Henrik
Shipstead and overtures have
been made to the Democratic
leaders with a view of securing
their aid.

Have you been able to get

We are glad to say that all
our shipments have been for

coupled with a crippled railroad
system has delayed shipments to
some extent. but so far we have
had no cause for complaint. De

State Capital circles received a
shock this week in the announce
ment that Odin Halden had
filed for the nomination of
auditor of St. Louis county and
that he intended to resign short
ly as a member Of the state
tax commission. Mr.. Halden by
the way was for "a years the
chief accounting officer of one
Of the largest counties of the
state, st. Louis. and for six years
previous had offciated in the
capacity Of chief deputy. In a
way Mr.. Halden's filing is a
comeback as he was distanced
four years ago by the present
auditor and from all accounts
the change has not been a very
satisfactory one. 1t is known
that pressure was used to get
Mr.. Halden into the race and
that he sewers his present state
connection with considerable re-
luctance. Gov. Preus it is under
stood has expressed his regrets.
st. Louis county is almost a king
dom in itself. Its problems and
its interests have few counter
parts in Minnesota and only big
men are fitted to cope with them,
Mr.. Halden easily meets the de-
mands and from all accounts the
backing promised him win not
be lacking when the votes are
counted.

9-ycar-oid daughter was filed yes
terdsy In district court by J. w. and
Lula NJ. Burke against the Carter
oil company, the Basic Petroleum
company and j. A. Bearman and
Dan X. Bracken.
The father and mother set out In
their petition that the defendants
were drilling an oil and gas well
near their home in Greek county and
that their daughter Anna and sew
eral other children In the vicinity
were entlccd and allured TO the oil
well by n water tank and various
strange tools. Employees OF the com
pany made no effort 20 discourage
tho children from playing In the vi

to play there and often romped with
the kiddles, 81 Is alleged.
on August 13 the Burke girl with
one or two other children was play
Ing near the oil well when large
piece OF heavy steel fell and struck
the Burke child. inflicting injuries
from which she later died. The
