HEARD IN HOTELS.

Senator Jud La Moure, of Pembina county,
n. d.. who has been spending several days
in St Paul, left yesterday for California,
where he will spend the winter. He was
feeling particularly good over the prospects of
winter in "a land that is warmer than
this" and declared that he felt like giving
the ''other fellows chance to fight" mean
ing by this that he proposes to be absent
when the fight for the North Dakfita delega-
ton to the Minneapolis convention takes
place.
Il think there viii be some scrapping in
North Dakota in the spring. he said, '-Dut
will not be in it. You see, l am no longer
chairman of the state committee, and so am
not obliged or expected 10 be in the contest
am on my way to California for winter of
rest and pleasure which feel that need.
will be on hand next summer however,
when the conflict grows more interesting"
HAS Col. Dan Maratta fixed up the Demo-
cratic-Prohibition alliance yet:'
Il have not heard about Maratta lately. but
think that l sized the thing up about right
when was here several weeks ago. These
Democrats are sly, devilish sly. and you can't
tell what they will do. 1 know of Maratta's
resources as leader, but was unprepared to
see him go to Chicago and attend that meet
ng of the Prohibition national committee.
l know he has not joined the Prohibition
party, and so can think of no other reason
for his attendance there than for the purpose
of fixing up a combination between the Dem
ocrats and ProhibtioniSts.
Senator La Moure will not talk on the
subject of the election of a successor to SEN
ator Casey but there are intimatlons made
frequently to the effect that he will himself
be a candidate for the seat One thing thai
is decidedly favorable to this view is the
sudden change in the Pembina statesman.
His face, once as severe and sober as though
he were intently studying the intricacles and
mysteries of the great American game. is
now constantly wreathed in smiles. A Da-
kota man can get anything from him, espe-
cia!ly if the applicant is politician with
some strength. The fact of the matter is,
Senator La Moure has blossomed into
clever politician, more clever than ever, and
henever was O SLOUGH in the business.
