The latest guess as to who may bob up as a candidate for congress- man at large at the general election next year is offered as a news item in the Minneapolis Journal which reads as follows: “Samuel R. Van Sant, former gov- ernor, may become a candidate for congressman at large before the next republican state convention. Rumor credits him with ambition to serve one term in congress, and some of his friends are already sounding senti- ment on the proposition. The former governor, though elected from Wino- day for the selection of candidates for 4 3 the State offices to'be filled at the autumn election. Interest centers chiefly in the spirited contest for the democratic gubiernatorial nomination between State Senator Arthur P. Gor- man and State Senator Blair Lee, Phillips Lee Goldsborough™ will re- ceive the Republican nomination for governor without oppesition.- 3" Republicans of Alabama will hold a State convention in Birmingham on Thursday to select a new State com- mittee and chairman and to. consider the State representationiin the next national convention.

A conference of State railroad com- missioners is to be held Tuesday in Lincoln, Neb., to discuss methods of obtaining physical valuation of rail- road property. Tuesday is the day fixed for the consecration of Rev. John E. Gunn as Roman Catholic bishop of Hatcher, Miss. The ceremony is to take place in Atlanta, with Archbishop Blenk of New Orleans officiating. Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, former Justice Brown of the United State Supreme Court, and Baron Uch- ida, the Japanese ambassador to the United States, are among the notable speakers scheduled to address the thirty-fourth annual meeting of the American Bar Association, which will begin its sessions in Boston Tuesday. The season of fairs and exhibitions will reach its height during the week. In addition to a dozen or more State fairs in various parts of the United States the week will see the opening of the annual Industrial Exposition in Milwaukee, the Cana- dian National Exhibition in Toronto and the Provincial exhibitions in Quebec, British Columbia, and other sections of the Dominion.

He was spok- en of recently as a possible candidate for the United States senate against Knute Nelson, but denied any inten- tions in that direction. iie pleaded that his business engrosses his time and he cannot afford to leave it for politics. “Running for congressman at large however, is a very different preposi- tion from a campaign for the United States senate, which would mean 2 state-wide primary coutest a year from next September. The congress- man at large is to be nominated by the state convention early next sum- mer, and nomination. would: probably mean election with very little effort. “The service would necessarily be limited to one term, as the 1913 leg- islature will redistrict the state into ten instead of nine districts, and the congressman at large will cease to be. Captain Van Sant, it is said, would like to spend two years at ‘Washington, with the honor of rep- resenting the whole state of Minne- sota, just to round off his public car- eer.” NEWS FORECAST FOR THE COMING WEEK.
