With the exception of the assembly, in
which F. c. Warner and Charles S. Ben
son succeed George F. Dix and G. J. Nell
son, as president and vice president, re-
spectively, there is no change in the per-
sonnel OF the law-making bodies of St.
Paul.
AT meeting Of the three bodies yester-
day Afternoon, the above selections were
made, and in every instance, with the
exception of the one enumerated, the
choic of executives were simply re-
elections. In each instance a strict party
vote figured, and at no time was there
the resemblance of what might be called
split.
With Aid Bantz and Hunt figuring as
an unknown quantity, the opening of the
meeting of the joint bodies, which was
not called until nearly 3 o'clock, natural
ly found both sides in a guessing condi-
ton, the tension on the Democratic side
of the house possibly being a little great
er because Of the unexplained absence of
several of the aldermen, including Presi-
dent Schiffmann and Aid. Dahlqu1st. The
| latter gentleman wandered in all right
but word was received that DR.. Schin-
mann was out OF the city, and the meet
ing was called without him. Vice Presi-
dent Whitcomb acting in his stead.
For president, Aid. Haas offered the
name Of DR.. Schiffmann, Assemblyman
Dix, for the Republicans, rendering the
name of Aid. Holt. Slowly the vote was
taken, and the finish found DR.. Schif-
mann with ten votes, his opponent re-
ceiving nine Dr. Schifmann was de-
ciared reelected. and on this Assembly,
man Dix moved that his selection be
made unanimous, which was done. The
finish found a broad smile on the faces OF
the Democratic members.
The race for vice president was equally
devoid of incident, DIR. WhitcoEab receiv-
ing the full vote OF his Democratic
brethren. Maj Denny led Assemblyman
Benson to the block. as the choice OF
the Republicans for the vice presidency,
but all he could obtain was the nine
votes of his own party.
In asking the reelection of NJ. L. BeV
ans as market master, Aid. Dobner spoke
of him as an old soldier and worthy the
support Of all, irrespective Of politics.
Assemblyman Benson could not see that
the fact that Mr.. Bevans was an old
soldier assisted him materially in filing
such an important office as that of mar
ket master, and offered the name of John
Duffy but the votes were not forthcom-
ing and Mr.. Bevans was announced as
the winner.
