You will notice that 0. p. p. ia
cobson's name does not appear in
the foregoing list of candidates for
governor. This does not mean that
he is not considering the governor
ship, but have it on good authori-
ty, that shortly he will betake him
self to the office of Mike Holm and
sign the dotted line on a document
which will be presented to him in the
state auditors office at his request.
F. w. Matson, an official of the rail-
road and warehouse commission, for
merly commissioner of public safety
in ST. Paul, will file for reelection in
the near future.
Capitol gossip has it that all the
present office holders of the state adj
ministration will come out for re-
nomination and reelection. Those
who are close to Attorney General c.
L. Hilton tell me that he is hesitating
whether to come out as candidate
for reelection or for election as as
sociate justice of the supreme court.
Many close friends of Mr.. Hilton are
urging him to go after the higher
position.
Some seem to think that Edward
Inderhus, former Democratic candi-
date for governor, will make the race
for congress In the sixth congression-
al district and that he will be able to
satisfactorily get around what now
appear as legal obstacles. Represent
alive Harold Knutson is not expect
ed to be a candidate for reelection.
Senator c. Rosermeter of Little Falls,
former county attorney of Morrison
county, will no doubt become a can
didate for congress in the sixth dis
trict. Peter j. Seberger, st. Cloud
real estate man, may file for con-
gress in the sixth district on the
Democratic ticket And so the polit-
;coI not hollis and hollis and hollis
