Bismarck, NJ d., May ,27.--Signs Of the
coming political contest within 1.-The re-
publican party in the state are multiply
ing, and not the least interesting battle
ground is in the second judicial district,
where Judge. cCowan and Senator Hans
brough are leaders 1of the opposing fac.
lions. The bitterness of the fight is re-
fected in a recent editorial statement in
a Devils: Lake paper to the effect that
Senator Hans brough opposed Judge, Nor.
gan; for. the nomination to the, supreme
court. This has brought out an, en-
phatic disclaimer; from Senator Hans
brough, who states that hes refused at
the last convention to have anything to
do with slate. which had not Morgan's
name to it. =, s-....s
Cowan is known to have been at the
head Of the winning combination and was
an ardent supporter of Judge Morgan
Judge Morgan is mot taking any part in
the controversy, although it is known
that he is a warm friend of both Hans
brough and Cowan.-- "
Stark county has called its county con-
vention for the nomination of county and
legislative tickets for June 26 at Glad
stone. Under the new apportionment
Stark sand Billings form legislative dis
ltrict by! themselves; and will nominate
three representatives. Senator Simpson

Commissioner Turner &of Gladstone for a
second term as commits of agrieul-
ture and labor. 49, - q siE'I's; ..lt' y:

August Johnson Of Mclean, present coun-
;ty audi tor, for secretary Of state. john
son has the backing Of. King John Sat :
terland, Mclean county's political leader.
Mclean also has an increase in it's legis-
lative representation this year, Formerly
it was attached sto* Ward and Williams
counties and the three counties had a
senator and one Representative. In the
last session, Ward county had the senator
and Williams the representative. Under
the new apportionment. Mclean, Mercer
and; Oliver form a Legislative district and
have a senator and three represent tives.
Mclean will probably name the senator
and representative. and that would leave
a representative to each of. the other
counties. sgT
