courteous than for one member to thus
interfere in the district Of another; but
such trities as these never ''faZe" the
st. Paul member. He has done it be-
fore, and will probably keep it up I'm til
some outside member takes him in hand
and teaches him few thiags. Maj.
Baldwin, when the matter was men,
toned to him, said:
This is not the first time that he has
interfered in the Sixth district. | have
said nothing because thought by give
lrg him rope enough he would hang
himself, or at least post the people gen.
orally as to his ideas of matters, and

The Change in 'tUnele'' Loren.
''Uncle" Loren Fletcher is greatly
changed since he returna I'd from Mime
sofa. Two months ago when he started
for Minnesota he wore an air of conf
dence that is now entirely wanting.
When he was told that Minneapolis was
almost certain to lose her senator, his
face would assume Il guess not"
air, and he would announce with
the greatest assurance that there
was no doubt at all of the
reelection of Senator Washburn. Now
he will not even explain how it all
happened. Two months ago he de-
lighted to be called "Shr ewd," sly"
and all such names as indicate the
smooth and not prescriptions polit-
ical manager; now he refuses to be
pleased with such verbal tributes to his
political genius. The managing part of
politics no longer possesses any char IN
for him, even in conversation. He is
sore. and he doesn't care who knows it,
but he will not ease his conscience or
mind by q confession.
There are those here who claim th at
''Uncle" Loren, like his chief and many
of his leading lieutenantS. does not
know what hit him, but this view is
only held by those who have always
been doubters as regards Mr.. Fletcher'5
abilities as manager and schemer.
They were mean enough to claim all
the way through the fight that Mr..
Fletcher did not care much whether
Senator WaShburn succeeded or not,
and that he hopes to be in the next race
some himself. But, in case too many
remarks Of this character are made
Uncle Loren may wake up and tell the
boys something about the campaign he
said he would make, and the one he
really did make.
Desires McCleary's Scalp.
There is one Repu blican member
whose scalp the Minneapolis man wants
and wants badly, and this is Prof. Nc
CIeary. he thinks that at the com
mencement if the schOOlmaster states
man had kept out of the fight things
might have gone ditfere ntly. This. by
the way, is the view taken by Congress
man Tawney, who likewise has no time
for McCleary. OF course neither of
these gentlemen reside i'll the Second
district. and it is barely possible
hands full at home, but neither
Will shed tears if some new
man like Miller, of Rock county, or
Frank Day snatehes the nomination
from McCIeary next time. Another
thing that does not improve the rela-
tons OF these congressman is the fact
that largely through the efforts Of the
Republican state committee in the last
campaign Prof. McCleary was adver-
tlsed all over the state as very able
man on the financial question. A large
amount of money was expended i'll the
publication of documents prepared by
him and he was sent into all parts OF
the state Ito explain the money Ques-
ton" to the people. thus giving him an
amount OF advertising that no other
candidate received.
Senator Davis Judicial Bill.
Senator Davis bill. adding another
district Judge to the United States dis
trict bench of Minnesota. is likely to
pass, in case it can reach the lower
house in the near future. Unlike the
bills introduced IN former years this
bill makes no division Of the state. but
rather makes one judge an assistant to
the other. LAWYERS will be interested
i'll the provisions of the bill, and it fol-
lows, minus the enacting clause:
That there shall be appointed for the dis
trict of Minnesota by the president of the
consent OF the senate, in addition TO the pres
ent district Judge. another district Judge,
who shall have the same qualifications and
shall have the same duties, power and juris-
dictiou therein that the present district judge
has under existing laws, and who shall be
emitted to the same compensation as the
present district judge; and hereafter there
shall be two district judges in said district.
Sec. .. That the two district judges of
said district may sit together for the trial of
p nA a m a
pending i'll the district court. in which case
the senior judge by appointment shall pre-
side, and his decicton shall be the decision
Of the court; or they may singly hold terms
OF the district court and NAV hold such
terms III different divisions of said district
at The same time, or may each try causes or
hear matters separately at the same time in
the same term. The power of appointment
Of clerks and other officers or employees, who
may properly be appointed by the Judge of
district court, shall be i'll such senior judge
except that the junior judge may make such
appointments temporarily should occasion
therefor arise. which shall hold unil the
senior Judge shall appoint.
Loehren Booked for 1t
In case his bill becomes law there is
no doubt at all that the president will
name Judge Lorhren for the place. 1t
is 70 secret here that the judge is very
anxious to get back on tie bench, and
that he is very tired of the Office of
commissioner Of pensions. He was
made commissioner OH the theory that
a lawyer and good one was needed
in that place, but as matter
of fact he makes no decisions.
The assistant secretary, John M.
Reynolds, is the man who settles the
policy of the bureau as far as legal mat
tiers are involved. As his friends in
Minnesota know. the judge is friend
of the old soldier. and, while he cares
little for abuse and criticism. he has
become thoroughly tired of the whole
business. and his friends join the al
