The pelitical bee is buzzing in the Sixth. district. There are already seven more or less candidates in the field and political rumors are that there will be at least that many more Republicars who will throw their hats into” the rfng for the nomina- tion. Newspapers throughout the entire state are watching the race in this district as it gives evidence of being one of the best of the pri- maries. Some of the comment of Minne- sota editors of the candidates is as follows: The Tomahawk, White Earth Ag- ency—Frank Eddy is a candidate for congress in the Sixth congressional district. In that district there is a large Indian vote and as Mr. Eddy’s record in congress during his several terms there was not particularly fa- vorable to the Indians, it is quite probable that they may not have for- gotten this. Long Prairie Leader — Judging from the number of prospective candi- dates for congress in this district, there is to be a merry battle next summer. The latest entries are Thomas Sharkey of Staples, M. J. Brown of Bemidji and J. J. Opsahl of Bemidji. Mr. Sharkey told the Staples World last week that he would be a candidate and would make an active fight for the nomination He will be Todd county’s only can- didate in the race. Mr. Opsahl has filed. Mr. Brown is the ydungest candidate and it may be said- that he is one of the brightest. He is a lawyer and a very brilliant -young man. St. Paul Pioneer Press—This week J. J. ‘Opsahl of Bemidji fudged a lit- tle on “Monty” Brown of the same town, who is in the congressional race, by filing for the nomination without having first declared. his in- tention. Now Harold Knutson, for- merly of East St. Cloud and Foley, formerly chief of the Northwestern boosters, declares himself in' the game. . There are at least seven can- didates around the ring, with more to come, apparently. 'C. B. Buckman, first to declare himself, says the Re- publican whe wins the primary can have, his support at the general elec- tion. Senator Bob Dunn, in his Prince- ton Union, advises C. H. Warner of Aitkin to return to the legislature and help to shape legislation from the speaker’s chair, adding that if Warner’s friends insist upon his en- tering the congressional scramble in thé Sixth district the Union wishes him''success. It is not unlikely that Mr.'Warner may heéd the advice of the sage of Princeton, who is an old friend and political ally, and try for the speakership:- St. Cloud Journal-] Press—Hon Jens J. ‘Opsahl of.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. Probably as many as two-thirds of the delegates to the next mnational party conventions will be selected through primary elections under the laws of the different states. Most of the states probably will vote for the delegates pledged either to a “fa- vorite son” candidate or unpledged. The system whereby each state holds its own primary is meaningless. All that it does to give an opportu- nity to any popular man to make a fight in his town state for the honor of being named the “favorite son.” ‘Where a resident of any state is an aspirant for that homor-it - is hardly likely that a candidate from another state will contest-with him. For instance, primaries in Ohio miglhit: result in a choice to Burton, Willis or Herrick, but the voters of the state would have no opportunity to say how they felt about former Senator Root as a candidate. Thus the net results of the pri- maries in the different states: are likely to give nothing more than local backing to a dozen or more men who will be mere “stalking horses’” for the collection of delegates that will do what the organization wants when it comes to the real business of the convention, which will be when the hopelessness of the “favorite aon" cause is beyond doubt. The Republican national commit- tee has compiled a list of primary states which shows that nearly two- thirds of the delegates will be.selected | at the primaries.
