Minneapolis is 100 per cent ahead of
that city. But the change would be
agreeable and his family physician
might not be obliged to call so often. az
the change of diet and atmosphere
might Kill off the drug bills. A. j. is
credited by s0me Of his political friends
with being anxious to serve his constitu-
ency in the senate, while others affirm
that he would be satisfied with we'll
warmed chair in the lower house. Ii he
things he can reach the senate he will
go for it. He would then be nearer the
governor, and should the proposed bill
creating board of public works be
passed, he could pull several strings in
the interest of his candidacy for place
thereon. The three or four places that
this board would create would be juicy
plums for man of Boardman's callber,
who is never too modest ocry enough
as long as there is q co0key on the
plate.
East siders, who are always at home
when politics of any color are intro
duced, say THAT Aid. E. G. BarroWs,
who represents the Second ward in the
city council, Will be a candidate TO sue
ceed Senator Dave" Clough. In that
event Dave" will not be candidate
for denomination, as he and Aid. Bar-
rows are the best of friends and would
not oppose each others candidacy. III
this report is true, and it must be adj
mitted that there is much Scmblance of
truth in it, it confirms the suspicion
long since entertained by leading Re-
publcans, that Senator Clough is aim
ing for either the mayoralty OF Snider's
seat in congress. A great deal. OF
course, will depend on the outcome OF
the case between ''Dr. Moore" and him
self. "Dave" is good wire puller.

legislative halls after all. The latest.
candidate for that vacancy, accordingH
to private bulletins recently sent out
Carmen n. Smith. How this candidacy
will suit Freeman p. Lane has not yet
been announced. If Carmen makes as
good su, co as legislator as he did as
chairman OF the Republican city COM
mittee last year, his bills, if passed the
house, will hold as much water as Tom
Lucas lien law, which Judge Spat
through the first time case under that
act was brought before him. How Car
men would look upon bill abolishing
the police commission, establishing a
board of public works, or reducing the
number of aldermen in the council, is
vt known, but it is safe to say that he
would first look out for the interests of
the Republican party, and care for his
constituents afterwards.
Ed Davenport will. of course, want to
go to the legislature, if he does not, get
the pOstoffice plum. Those who are
familiar with EDS tactics know that he
was always very modest about annOunc-
ing his candidacy for any office, but he
generally gets there whenever he tries.
His brother, by profession, Freeman p.
Lane, often tries but does not as often
succeed. Free" will be candidate
for reelection. He tried hard last fall

but the odds were against him, and after
propheSying all kinds of scandals ars-
ing from that useless board, he sat down
and swallowed the dose. For some time
past he has been calling the attention of
some of the friends of the commission
to the stormy sea it raised in the past
year, and pointing out how all that
scandal, which reflected on the Repub-
lican party, could have been avoided,
had the legislators been advised by
him, and now Free" is determined to
have hand in the slaughter of the
beast. This course may engender some
i'll feeling against him. which may not
help him bit.
Rough and Ready Odell is another of
the legal profession that is credited with
being on the floor for the next legisla-
tive dance. If the opinion he holds of
his ability as Il lawyer would be all
that is necessary to nominate and elect
him he is all right, and can order his
rooms at the Ryan or Merchants any
time, but Rough and Ready must not get

that. Terrence lis on the list" and may
succeed in getting the nomination, but
that is not "half the battle" as it used
to be. Whether Attorney Calhoun will
stand by and see his legal acQuaintances
gobbling up all these nice plums with
out protesting remains to be seen.
Our old friend, and worthy co-worker,
Aid. Parry, is as busy as mailer MAX
ing arrangements for the legislative
contest. Though he has three years
more to serve in the city council before
his term expires, he believes that he
could do more good for his constituents
in the legislature than where he is now.
EX-Ald. Cal Clark is credited with be-
ing willing to sacrifice three months
next winter of his valuable (?) time in
the interest of Hennepin county, but it
is doubtful if an honest, Open-hearted,
broad-guage man like the eX-alderman
could be elected in the face of so many
expert politicians bent on defeating
every one who did not come to their
way of thinking.
Senator Swenson, it is said, does not
care to return to the upper house again,
being satisfied with two terms there,
and DESTROYS of helping out A. G.. Haul
gan for state treasurer. Haugan and
his friends are working hard to get mat
tiers in shape for the fight, but he and his
friends will meet with opposition from
the county. and unless their forces are
we'll organized. some other man will get
the place. These are a few of the
many candidates who will blossom out
very soon for legislative honors. One
thing is sure, they cannot all "get
there"
