Costello will represent Itasca county as a member of the Demo- cratic cratic candidates for state congres- sional and legislative offices held at St. Paul last Thursday, and KE. J. Farrell was named as the Itasca rep- resentative for the Republican state central committee by the Republi- can candidates. Both parties named the members of the committee on the basis of one to each county, with the exception of Ramsey, Hennepin and St, Louis counties. A John E. McMahon, the Democratic candidate for the office of county treasurer, polled a vote at the pri- maries that shows the place he holds in the regard of Itasca county voters. He is a product of the country, having lived.in Itasca county since childhood, and can number a circle of personal friends that will be an important factor in his favor this fall. His training in the court house work has made him thoroughly familiar with the duties of the of- fice he seeks and the equation of per- sonal acquaintamce will add largely to his chances of election.
