Legislative Candidates Bob Up

and Their Name Is Legion.
Hennepin county composes the Twen-
ty-ninth and Thirtieth legislative dis
tricts, and with Anoka and Isanti coun-
ties, the Twel ty-eighth district. The
Twenty-eighth district is entitled to
four representatives three of which are
apportioned to the counties of Anoka
and Isanti, and one to that portion of
Hennepin county composing the First,
Second and Ninth wards and St. An
thony township, and which was
represented in the last legisla-
ture by E. F. Comstock, a Re-
publican, living in the Ninth ward.
COmstOck is very anxious to be returned
to the next legislature, but his chances
are not considered to be very good, and
the nomination will either go to Edward
N. johnson, Fred B; Snyder, Frank
Eustis, l.. l.. Longbrake or j. T. Wy
man. Howell w. Young is generally
spoken of as the probable Democratic
nominee. The Thirtieth district con-
sists of the Third, Fourth and Tenth
wards and the towns and villages of
OSseo, Crystal, Hassan, Dayton, Green
wood, Champlin, COrcoran. Maple Grove,
Brooklyn and Crystal Lake, and was
represented in the last legislature by
three Democrats and one Republican.
The Democratic members were Bernard
Cloutier, William McArdle and Thomas
ii. Lucas, and the Republican member
who was elected by the narrow ma
jOrity of four votes, was Samuel p.
Snider. Bernard Cloutier and Thomas
II. Lucas are candidates for reelection,
Charles B. Maben, James w. Law
renee, A. L. Ankeny and David M. Gill
more are spoken of as candidates
while the Republicans will make
selection from the following list, who
are aSpirantS for legislative honors: s.
l.. TrusSell, Fred Hooker, Fred Board
man, Carman n. Smith, o. L. Erickson,
w. II. Eustis, A. Ii. Hall, w. McCrory,
Robert q. Evans, j. N. Mind, F. G.
Detterly. G. D. Meyer, S. E. Olson, o.
j. Evans, Alex II. Num- and N. 81.
Giertson. The Twenty-ninth district is
composed of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thir-
teenth wards and the towns and villages
of Golden Valley. st. Louis Park, Ex-
celSior, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Rich
field, Minnetonka Medina, Plymouth,
MinnetriSta and Independence, and is
entitled to six representatives. The
entire delegation from this district in
the last legislature was Republican, and
consisted of the following persons:
Alexander Millar, j. G. Howard, j. A.
Arneson, S. Ellingson, c. III. Petit and
Ben p. Shuler, all of whom are candi-
dates for reelection, but owing to the
poor record made by this delegation the
chances are that none of them will be
renominated, except Millar, who was
the champion of the ''patrol limits bill''
in the last legislature, and who is there
fore very popular with the high moral
element of the Eighth ward, of which
ward he is now resident. But the
very thing which makes him a strong
competitor for the nomination, will,
without doubt, defeat him at the polls,
although this district is considered to
have Republican majority of several
hundred votes.
Among the candidates in the field who
are willing to enter the contest with the
present incumbentS for the nomination
are JudSon n. Cross, Henry Downs, A.
H. Hedderly, James G. W1rall, James
