The Seat from Minnesota

Governor J. A. 0. Preus of Minnesota, who recently failed to get himself into the Senate by appointment, is now going to try to climb into the seat of the late Knute Nelson by the electoral route. He announced that he would be a candidate in the special primaries on June 18. There are four other " Republicans " in the race for the primaries-- of varying shades of radicalism. It is asserted that so many insurgent Republican voters have gone over to the Farmer-Labor Party, however, that only a "regular,'' like Governor Preus, can succeed in the Republican primary.
