WHO'LL Be SENATOR?
A Dozen Men Are Ready to
Step Into Mr. Washburn's
Shoes.
GNE TERM IS ENOUGH,
Let the Office Go to the
Younger Element in tie
Party.
ARE EDITORS ELIGIBLE?
George Thompson or Joseph
Wheeloek Would Popular
ize the Senate.
ARE EDITORS ELIGIBLE?

Those astute Republicans. who have
made study OF the situation in this
state. Will readily concede that the elec-
tlon or successor to Senator WASH
burn will be attended with more stirring
scenes than THOSE Of six years ago, when
he secured his election to that office.
Ihe fact cannot be concealed that Min
neapoliS is not unit for Mr. Washburn.
although he has served the state well.
and worked earnestly in the Interest of
a certain class of Flour City constitu-
ents. Aside from the fact that there
are other Interests IN his city that may
not follow in the channel OF the Iegjs-
Iatiye work done by the senator, there
are several gentlemen, even in that
city. who would like to do some work
tnat would give them future advantages
in personal aspirations for some other
place. especially for governor. Then,
too,there ara even men who would like to
be the Minneapolis senator. This NAV
work change in the sentiment for MIR.
WashOurn and, possibly, bring some Of
the Minneapolis dele CATION out for some
man from the country. The three prom
lnent candidates for governor two years
hence in the Republican party will be-
Joel HeatwOle. of Northfeld; Robert
u. Evans, of Minneapolis, and William
Henry Eustis, the present mayor of the
city up the river.
Mr.. Evans is a representative of the
populace and is hail fellow well met.
besides being a braIny man. Mayor
Eustis has made great record as an
executive and his fame has spread
abroad. Joel HeatwoIe is a genial gen
tieman, and has an enviable record
throughout the state. 1t may be well to
have hiD shelved before the next elec-
tion. This could be done very grace
fully by eleeting him United States sen.
atCr.
The country will figure in the contest
to the extent that il is no longer willing
to let the Twin Cities keep both sena-
torShips. There is where the biggest
fight against Mr.. WaShburn will be-
made from. There will be more than
half-dozen candidates for Mr. WASH
burns shoes. Ex-senator Sabin is ak
ready out with paint and feethers, and
several others have their lightning rods
up. Solomon g. ComstUck will be
strong before the caucus Then there
are Congressmen Tawney, McCleary,
TOwne, Mr.. ind, and a number Of
others who will be in the contest.
HeatwoIe a Candidate.
Joel Heatwole seems to be a yer
likely man for the place. He has made
a marvellous success in defeating the
brainiest Democrat in the state, Hon. o.
NJ. II all. for congress by an overwhelm.
ing majority in a Democratic district.
He has been mentioned for governor
and is very popular. He has many
friends who will stand by him to the
last, and he will gain strength as the
time for election draws near.
G. 5. Ives. formerly lieutenant gov4
ernor, will have q number of friends.
T. NJ. Eddy, the congressman elect
from the Seventh district, will not per-
nit his friends to vote for him. as he
would prefer to make his mark in Wash
ington.
Judge c. NJ. Start, Of Rochester, the
chief justice elect. would make very
desirable senator, and il would be
creditable TO his party to give him this
honor. lie has friends who would like
to push him for election.
Moses E. Clapp, the brainy lawyer
who made an excellent attorney gem
erai, is popular, and would FIJI the
place with credit. Donald Grant would
also fit the place.
A. NJ. Miller, OF Duluth, would like to
work the Stephen B. Eikins game. He
has ability. of the kiRd common in the
senate, and has large purse that would
enable him to entertain we'll in tha
national capitol.
If the country is not to carry off the
prize for some one OF the many able
men who might be selected and the
place is to be given to Minneapolis
again, there are plenty of citizeus whC
would like TO see
