	From the Campaign Trail
	Farming is king in 1st District, but people are talking Iraq Oct. 11 - The race for Minnesota's 1st District U.S. House seat is a three-way affair. Incumbent Republican Gil Gutknecht faces candidates from both the DFL and the Green parties. Iraq, agriculture, and medical care are major issues in a district which has changed since the last election. Ten counties have been added. Gutknecht's challengers think redistricting gives them a better chance of beating the four-term representative. But Gutknecht says the new 1st District voters are his kind of people. (More)
