WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE

storm which followed the withdrawal OF
several Democrats last time and the uncer-
taintv over candidates following the death
of Governor Olson, political campaigns IN
Minnesota have been relatively colorless ana
lacking in speculative elements recently.
The approaching campaign, however,
appears certain to be stormy affair with
no shortage of fire and thunder. Hjalmer
Petersen looms as the principal sound pro
perties man as we'll as one of the Leading
characters in the impending political drama
Petersen is in an enviable position Tor
one feeling inclined to stir up storm. His
brief term as governor and his long service
in state office have given him an insight as
to who really handles things in the state
administration and how they are handled
He is honestly concerned over the status OF
state and party affairs and will pull no
punches in giving both thorough airings
Furthermore his reputation for honesty and
sincere interest in the progressive move
ment make him factor to be considered.
One need not be a political prognosticat-
or to figure out that the rather common
name Petersen" is Kissed when spoken
within the inner circle of the party. The
common method of dealing with disgruntl-
ed party sniper is to ignore him as long as
possible, which very often means until cleo
to carry weight with the voters. The fact
that the party lords have at this early date
favored Petersen with a resounding rebuke
for ''lack of decent regard for group re-
SponSibilities'' and "careerism" indicates
more than they would wish that they re-
spect his antipathy and are frankly con-
cerned over what he will say when he goes
on the stump Monday at 9:3O p. m. over
several radio stations and in later addresses
wood county is what theatres used to adj
vertise as "all-talky" so far Most of the
conversation has to do with the legislative
offices: whether John Zwach will make the
logical step forward of running for senator
instead of representative-at-la who the
Farmer-Laborites will indorse for county
representative with E. T. Ebbesen, Aubrey
Dirlam and Rolf Omtvedt mentioned and
what the Republicans have up their sleeves.
Will Green of Morgan has been suggested
as their candidate if he can be induced to
make the race. Most of the Democratic talk
has switched from the campaign to how a
Farmer-Laborite got to be chairman of the
county birthday balls?
WHEN LIQUOR CONTROL COMMITS
sioner Mahoney called Brown county law
enforcement "among the worst in the state"
recently, Brown county newspapers made a
big story of the fact but so far as we could
find no Renville county paper played up the
listing of that county as place where au-
thorities really cooperate to maintain law
and order. Perhaps they suspected the
commissioner was kidding.
