friends of Mr.. WaShburn are not losing
any time TO be ready for the fray. The
work begun before the election is now
centered upon the main object. There

from individuals in several cases.
Steven b. Howard. a senator.elee
from Minneapolis and the manager of

The fact that Mr.. Howard refused to de-

j. A. Tawney was in the city yester-

the bosses around the hotel lobbies. At
the Windsor there was considerable

from the Windy City.
There is already an activity for posi-
tions in the legislature. The fight for
speaker will be directed from several
sources, and the senatorial fight will
cut some figure in this matter. The
fact that only an experienced legislator
Will stand much show tor this position
Darrows the field to some extent. John
L. Gibbs, OF Freeborn county, is one OF
the candidates who will stand a good
chance If the sentiment on senator goes
ms way. 5. X. Van SAINT, of Winona, is
another who is prominently mentioned.

Allen j. Greer. who was a candidate
two years ago, is senator now, and. of
course, Will not be in the way. By the
way, there will be but three Democrats
IN the senate. They are Henry Keller,
of Stearns; Albert Schaller, of Dakota.
and James McLIale, of Scott county.
