The first aspirant for the speakershin
to reveal his ambition was Michael ].

mer newspaper man, who has been chi5f
clerk of the house for several terms and
possesses wide acquaintance AID warm
personal friendships among the personnel
of the new house. Bowling was assured
In all reasonable expectations, a walk

aspirants for the house We're acquainted
with Mikes ambitions early in the game:
His fitness for the place is un1uestrreG
Albert Berg, who has deserted the prosy
office of secretary of state Ding enough
to settle on a claim on the Warroad
river, has just run for and been elected
to the house from Roseau county, taking
the seat made vacant by Mr.. Mediccaft,
whose chief distinction in the last ses-
sion was that he drew the most mileage
of any one. Mr. Berg will also cherish
the similar distinction in this session,
but he hopes also to secure the emolu-
ments of the speakership. Some Of the
old members of the hOuse-and about g.
third of the house is returned-are some

Warroad frontiersman, who Is without
legislative experience, and think he ought
to stay in Israel till his beard is grown

Duluth, as usual, also has a candidate
this time George r. Laybourn being the
man. Mr. Laybourn was member of
both the 1897 and 1899 houses, and in the
latter especially was conspicuous on some
of the most important committees He
served his constituents earnestly and in
defatigably, being a rare absentee, either
from house or committee sitting, and If
diligence were to be considered as q rec
ommendation would be in line for promo
ton. The Sixth district, however, has
had three speakers out of the last four
sessions, and indeed four out of the last
six, so that there is some feeling that
some other part of the state might get a.
chance at it. This will, no doubt be
used in Dowling's favor.
Hennepin will have a candidate in the
person of Col W. P. Roberts, who is re-
turned at this session as the dean of the
Hennepin county delegation, with at least
