Immigrat ion t h a n from births.

The F e r g u s Fal l s Journal, d iscuss ing candidates for governor, s a y s :

"St. Paul and southern Minnesota have a number of men who are regarded an avai lable , but the only1 m a n from the northern part of the s ta te w h o is receiv­ing a n y ser ious consideration is A. L. Cole of Walker, i f northern Minnesota g ives him good support he will be quite a formidable candidate in the* conven­t ion."

T h e "boost" for Cole i s rather unex­pected from such a source, a s Elmer A d ­a m s has been arguing aga ins t ' the Cole s ta te land bill and declaring it a failure. H e evident ly th inks more of the author than he does of the measure .

T h e Breckenridge Gazette i s responsible for t h e fol lowing resume and prediction:

If conditions are ripe for a political reTolution in this state next jear, J. P. Jacobson will be the lepubllean candidate for governor. If the candidate is to Btand for conservatism and regu-laiity it will be Sam Lord. If the radical and conservative wings need uniting Frank Eddy will be the man. One of the three named will be the republican candidate for governor, and, with a party reasonably well united, any one of thein can be elected by a good majority.

The Hendrum Rev iew sayB: Before the newspapers of northern Minnesota

get thru "mentioning" ellglbles for the gover­norship they should start a boom for Judge Grindeland. Perhaps he may be the one so much talked of "who will come out when the proper time arrives—someone not yet mentioned, etc." Anyway, he Is a good runner politically, has the qualifications for a flrst-class governor and was not prominently identified with either the Dunn or Collins factions.

Judge Grindeland's record in the senate w a s above reproach, and his drainage law i s one of the b igges t pieced of con­struct ive legis lat ion in recent years.

There is talk in Freeborn county of sending R a y C. Blackmer to t h e legis la­ture. Mr. Blackmer h a s jus t sold th«> Freeborn County Times , w h i c h he oper­a ted successful ly for over nine years , and Is looking after h i s other interests , wh ich would g ive him t i m e to at tend to th'e dut ies of a lawmaker , H e i s a s t u ­dent of public quest ions, a m a n of high, principles and would m a k e a valuable m a n in the s ta tehouse . 4

In point of cont inu­ous service in the newspaper harness he is third m a n high in the s t a t e of Minne­sota, wh ich is largely due to a tough and rugged const i tut ion >and the moderate price of s easoned hardwood. The influ­ence of his newspaper i s felt thruout the entire s tate , for he i s quotetd copiously on all topics of p u b l i c concern.
