who gave Mr.. Bowling race for the
speakership. Albert Berg, of the Sew
enth district, who was Dowling's other,
but less formidable opponent, was hon
ored with an important craftsmanship He
was placed at the head of the committee
on drainage, which is the most impor-
tant committee to the people Of the Sew
enth district.
With rapt attention did the Duluth and
many other members listen, as the COM
m1ttees were being read off, for the men
ton OF the name of Mr. Laybourn at
the head of one of the important COM
| mittees, but they were disappointed His
successful opponent found it possible to
draft his slate without having to place
Mr.. Laybourn under the irksome neces-
sity OF looking after the work of a COM
mlttee as its chairman. The only man
from the Zenith City delegation thus
honored is George J. Mallory, who is
chairman of the committee on insurance.
Mr.. Laybourn was however, placed on
three other committees, two of which, the
committee of elections and of appropria-
tons, are of some consequence.
Berg, whose candidacy was little more
than nominal, is given the chairman
ship Of the drainage committee as his
reward and is said to be quite content
with his lot
The Duluth members were not slow to
ficiaries Of the speakers good Offices dur
| ing this session and some of them eX-
pressed themselves freely upon the SUBJ
ject after the session yesterday. They
are determined, that under any circum-
stances, they will stand together and
when one receives a rebuff at the hands
of opponents it will be taken up by all.
This spirit prevailing at the beginning
OF the session would seem to suggest that
unless some means of peace are resorted
to, the end of the term will find a con-
siderable breach existing between the two
factions.
Speaking of the situation yesterday a
Duluth member stated:
"Well, one thing we have in our favor,
perhaps, is that we have very few de-
mands to make for legislation this time.
We have not come here this winter with
as many requests as heretofore. For the
past two or three terms of the legislature
Duluth has been compelled to ask many
things at the hands of the state-we
have been in the position of begging
from our colleagues, but this time there
is no cause for this suppliant attitude and
we mean to get What little we go AFTER
About the only legislation of impor-
tance which is bothering the minds of
the Duluth people just at present is an
| appropriation of $25, 900 for the completion
Of their new normal school building, the
ago they asked for $3.50, 600 for the con-
struction of this building and got half
that amount, but this year they declare
that no reduction goes as a less amount
| than $4,000 will be inadequate for the
purpose required and they will not be
content to accept less than the full
amount.
One or two Of the Duluth members are
apprehensive of opposition to their de-
nd n
claim to be possessed of sufficient power
to push their claim through against all
odds
PERSONNEL OF THE COMMITTEES.
The chief order of business at the short
session of the house yesterday was
Speaker Dowling's committee announce
ments. Mr.. Bowling did not lose the OPP
portunity afforded by this means of re-

one or two instances the selections give
tolerable satisfaction, the Democrats
having little, of course, to expect at the
hands of the Republican administration.
