HURON, Dak., Nov 29.-Among the
names of those mentioned for United
States senator from the new state of Da-
kota, Hugh j. Campbell and Judge Moody
are now perhaps the most prominent. Judge
EdgeIton, late of the supreme bench, and
j. II. Teller, late secretary of the territory,
are being talked of, but as yet have not
been prominently brought to the front,
though many complimentary words are be-
ing spoken of both gentlemen by various
newspapers of the territory. So far as Mr.
Teller is concerned, he is so favOrably
known that were he to formally announce
his candidacy his friends would rally to his
support and soon have a good following.
He is not politician in the general accept
alton of the term, but is a man Of rare
capabilty, energy, intelligence and WORTH
thoroughly conversanJ with the needs of
Dakota and what will more effectually tend
to her rapid development in every depart
ment. Mr. Teller's efficiency and faithful
ness in the discharge of his duties during
his entire time as secretary of the territory
won for him the confidence and respect of
members of both political parties, who
would be glad to see him honored by being
chosen one of the United States senators
from our new state.
AS to Judge Edgerton, it is quite proba-
BILE that his friends will strongly urge his
selection. His service as chief justice of
the Second district was as satisfactory as
could be expected, and his retirement from
the position was a matter of much regret.
The judge will receive the Endorsement of
many from the Eastern part Of the state
and some from the Northern counties will
back him.
Hugh j. Campbell was probably the first
man mentioned to represent Dakota's in
terests in the United States senate after the
assembling of the Republican convention
here in October. AS an attorney he ranks
high, is eminently qualified for so great a
trust and certainly has the good of Our
people at heart. A number of the papers
are vigorously urging Mr. Campbells rs
claims, and will carry considerable weight
in his behalf, despite the energetic opposi-
ton of the Sioux Falls Press and Mitchell
Republican.
Judge Moody of Deadwood is a man in
whose favor much could be said. 1t is
doubtful if anyone in the entire territory en-
joys more amiable reputation than Judge
Moody. He knows Dakota and her people
like book" and his long residence in
this wonder land" has especially fitted
him for the position to which his friends
propose to urge him. Should he be success
full in the race for the United States sena-
torship from the bustling new state of Da-
kota, our people would have no fears that
their interests would not be carefully and
zealously guarded, and the best energies of
Judge Moody would be given in behalf of
the state and people he would represent.
| From the names above alluded to, it will
be readily observed that there is no lack of
good timber, even in this prairie country,
from which to carve two United States
senators in every way competent to honor
ably and faithfully represent US in the ma
tional congress, and cope with those from
older states in the matter of law-making
and governing our intelligent and ambitious
people.
