The business men of Duluth sent Pc
ut1on down to Senator Dougherty and
other members of the st. Louis county
legislative delegation yesterday, in which
they asked that the senator and those
addressed, used their ballots and infiu-
ence to secure the election of James ].
/ 6tI as the successor Of the late Senator
Davis
The document set forth the quaiifca-
tions which the men, who framed the
petition conceived to be those essen
tial to the ideal senator, and then It
| stated that Mr.. Hill, they believed was

has adjourned. The petition, therefore,
was not circulated and was held in abay

lawmakers.

Gus, knowing that in 1t rested their only
hope. The caucus has not yet been full

bly, not be held until Jan. 22. There Is
still talk of having it earlier.
Congressman .Tawney is expected back
from Washington early next week. His
interests are being ably managed by the
committee from the First district, OF
which Senator Swenningson is chairman,
and Judge Tawney, a brother of the con-
gressman.
Representative Wallace, VIII IS one Of
the Evans managers, stated last night
that their ship of state is moving with
commendable progress and entire safety
and that they will have a surprise to
spring on their contestants when the
caucus is held. The Evans faction has
lost one more supporter in the person of
Representa- tive Scherf of the Third dis

port BiXby.
