A meeting Of the members Of the
house residing In the Fourth ongreS,
slonal district will be held so OH, with
view Of discussing what cand Idates will
be urged for positions i'll the legislature.
1t is thought that St. Paul will be very
modest III her requests. but other coun-
ties III the district may he given some
recognition. Ii is SAID that f. Fl. Day
ton, who was defeated by Z. Ii. Kelly
for the house in the second ward in this
city, wants an Office. He has sized up
the Sergeant-at-arms office, and thinks
he could flI ii. w. II. Sache wants TO
be assistant in the same Office. but some
of the Republicans of the city are op-
posed TO him. 1t is also said that tie
Ramsey county delegation is divided on
the question of who, if any one,
should be pushed by them for such
Office as the county may be able to sR
cure.
In the Cause of Education
The bills to be presented at the CONS
ing session of the legislature will in.
clude several relating to educational
matters that, if passed. will aid very
materially III the working and manage
ment of the district schools in particu-
lar. The most important of these is the
one relating to the changing of the sys-
tenn Ill this state to the township, in
stead OF the district plan. The commit
tee appointed at the congress of super
lntendehts held last summer at the close
OF the state university summer school,
and consisting of Dr.. ID. L. Kiehle, A,
NJ. Sperry. of Mantonyille; A. @. Nc

course of week or two.
Another measure will also be intro

vision for the carrying out of the law
regarding state certificates, and small
addition to the high school apprOpria-
ton to provide for new districts that

What They Say.
Hon. j. Nj. Diment, of Owatonna, wha
was member of the legislature four
years ago, was at the Merchants vester-
day. He says he is not looking for any.
thing in particular, but is resting after
q
paign Tor his friends.
Senator A. w. Stockton, of Faribault,
returned to his home last evening.
Hon. o. D. Kinney. Of Duluth. was in
the city Oh business yesterday. He SAYS
that he sees no change in the hunt tor
offices within the gift of the legislature
since ne WAS here last week.
State Auditor r. G. Dunn, of Prince
ton. came to ST. Paul last evening. He
could not stay away from the center of
attraction long at time. He Will make
frequent trips here before he is finally
located i'll d house on ST. Anthony hill,
or some other polished quarter of the
city.
Hon. E. N. Dare, of Elk River, a
member Of the lower houSe,is quartered
at the Merchants. He says that he will
assist M. 81. Dike, of Big Lake, IN his
aspiration to be second assistant clerk
of the house. He will also support Mr..
Bowling for clerk of the same body.
His theory is that he will help ali news
paper boys along; for that reason be
favors Mr.. bowling.
,. /. LlttletOn, of Dodge county, is
Quartered at the Merchants. He has a
grudge against the GLOBE political re-
porter because of. the poor likeness of
him in the paper. MIR. Littleton is a
finer looking man than his cut would in
dictate, and would make a handsome
speaker of the house.
The prospect for reorganiZing the
third house earlier than usual is good.
There are great many candidates for
ofbces in this body. If the organization
is delayed until after the meeting of the
legislature, the defeated candidates for
positions in the senate and house will
be given chance in the third house.
The qualification for membership IN
the third house is aversion to work; any
one willing 10 work is not eligible.
Johnny Sloan is prominently mentioned
tor the position of sergeant-at-arms of
the organization. This is the only
working position in the house.
Hon. August Anderson, of ChiSago
county, is being mentioned as the prob
able chairman of the appropriations
committee. He has had extended ex-
perience IN legislative work, and is
possessed of the requisite qualifications
for the place.
Henry Feig, of Atwater, has been
mentioned several times as candidate
for speaker. He has not been to the
city since the election, but ii is said
that he Is conducting a vigorous cor.
respondence OIL the subject. Mr. Feia
is remembered as the efficient secretary
of the state convention, apd has been q
prominent party worker. He is quick
in dlscernment, and is we'll posted on
parliamentary practice. There are few
men who would equal him as presid.
ing officer
