TUFFTS SAYS “THERE'S NOTHING TO THE STORY” Popular Deputy U. S. Marshal Asserts He Is Not Candidate for State Senator. Frank Tuffts of Long Prairie, deputy U. S. marshal for the district of Minnesota, wasa visitor in the city yesterday, being on his way to Red Lake Indian agency to subpeona some Indian ‘‘chancery” witnesses for the U. S. district court. Mr. Tufft’s name has been men- tioned quite frequently, of late, as a possible candidate for the office of state senator from the Fifty-third Legislative district, which includes Todd, Hubbard and Wadena coun- ties. Asked as to the possibility of his becoming a candidate for senator, Mr. Tuffts smiled and declared, emphatically, “There is nothing to it; I am doing very well where I am.” . Despite his negative statement, it is believed that Mr. Tuffts may become a candidate under ceriain conditions, which conditions are not mentioned, but they have to do with the contest for U. S. senator which will be waged in the next legislature. Frank Tuffts is one of the most popular men in northern Minnesota. He has the reputation of being a true and loyal friend. He is genial and liberal and makes friends where- ever he goes. Should he become a candidate for state senator there is no doubt but what he would carry his own county, Todd, by an over- whelming majority and it is the general belief that he would be elected.

G, will give a ball at the armory Wednesday night, for which invita- tions have been issued, and all who receive the cards are requested to attend.

He believed Acting Presi- dent Holguin, who held the same opinion as himself, soon would be compelled to retire for similar rea- sons.

Ma- jor Leonard requested that Mrs. Sut- ton now-be considered a complainant in the case and not a mere party to the inquiry and that all the officers involved in the aftair be allowed to be present in court and be represented to cross examlne Mrs. Sutton and any witnesses produced by the Suttons. The attorney for Mrs. Sutton re- sisted the move, but after long argu- ment Commander Hood ruled in favor of the judge advocate’s contention.
