Fifth judicial District Counties Are Not
Unit for Him. -.-s.. ~ =:
CARRINGTON, N. D.-The claims made
by George M. Young Of Valley City and
his friends In regard to the speakership
seem to have poor foundation. A thor
ough canvass of the situa tion shows that
the fourth judicial district counties are
not a unit for him, as has been asserted,
nor has he even O majority Of the repre-
sentatives Lamoure, Foster, Wells.
Griggs. Logan and Eddy county repre-
sentatives have majority opposed to
Young and in favor of Baker. In Suits
man county, Representative Mckenzie
was not consulted at the little caucus held
scn:e time since, and is opposed to Young.
In Youngs home county, Barnes, there
is division reported, his candidacy being
opposed by some Of the Representatives.
A careful scrutiny Of the situation reveals
a state OF affairs not at all in accord with
the rosy reports made by Young's friends
and there seems to be little doubt now
but that Baker will be the speaker:
Sentiment on the senatorial question
seems to be divided. The representatives
have not as a rule: declared themselves.
Those who have, favor Hansbrougl1 in the
event, there is no available candidate from
this section Of the state. -. -
