uXBY Is TIE PROBLEM
ARRIVAL OF THE RED WING MAN
TO-DAY AWAITED BY sENA-
TORIAL CANDIDATES.
QUIET AT THE HEADQUARTERS
There Was Little Going ON Yester-
day-PIans for the Inaugural
of the Legislature
Tomorrow.

The corridors of the hotels where poll
ticians usually congregate were quiet
yesterday and almost entirely forsaken.
At the headquarters of Clapp and Evans
visitors came and went internationally
all day, but nothing of a formal charac-
ter was done Speculation as to the de-
velopments of the coming week formed
the basis of the discussions and both
factions seemed as confident as usual.
1t was expected that Tams Bixby would
drift in from Red Wing and liven up
things generally, but the Third district
man decided to rest until today. He
will probably come in bright and early
this morning, and some definite Informal
ton as to his intentions should be forth
coming today.
The Ninth Ward Rough Riders club
held meeting in the Endicott building
yesterday afternoon and decided to es-
cort GoV.-elect Van SAINT from the Wind
scr hotel to the capitol building Tuesday
forenoon when his Inauguration VIII
take place.
There were only twenty-five members
of the organization present, but out of
these twenty-three promised to meet at
the capitol building at $50 a. m, from
whence they will proceed to the hotel.
Those members who were in attendance
yesterday have been instructed to notify
all other members if the club. and it
is expected that over rfty men will be
in the escort. The club has about 100
members.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to appoint Il ccmmitte to see
about getting band for the occasion.
The committee will get either the Ninth
Ward band or the State band.
Other Republican organiza tons may
also decide to be, part of the escort.
Tomorrow at noon precisely the thirty
second legislative session will commence,
and it scarcely is likely that any of the
members will be absent, most of them
being in the city already. The house
will be called to order by Secretary of
State-elect Hanson and the ceremony of
swearing in the members will proceed
without any delay, after which the house
will be ready for the inauguration cere-
monies.
In the senate Chief Justice Start will
administer the oath of office to Lieut..
Gov. Smith, then the body will go to
the house chamber. No other organ
ization proceedings win be necessary, as
all the senators Quaiii led for Office two
years ago.
AS soon as both bodies are seated the
retiring and the incoming governor will
enter the chamber abreast, followed by
a numDer OF ioriAer governors, among
whom will be !4Ic;us r. Hubbard, A IA
McGill, John 6. pilIsbHry and AleNa,nIcr
Ramsey.
Gov. Lind will then deliver his fare

ton and outlining recommendations for
the considerat ton of the new governor
The chief justice will then administer
the oath of Office to Capt. Van SAINT, who
will Immediately read his inaugural mes
sage to the legislators assembled. 1t
will contain a summary of his views on
the best method of governing the state.
There will be no change in the Office
of the attorney general. Mr.. Douglas
will file an oath of Office, and the per-
sonnet of his staff will be the same
as during the past two years. The rail-
road and warehouse commissioners leave
their offices today and the newly elected
board will be in full o secession tomor
row.
Peter E. Hanson. secretary of state
elect has already filed his oath of Office
and assumes the duties of his position
today. The incoming state treasurer is
at the capitol with his force of clerks,
but will not formally assume control I'M
til tomorrow.
