BISMARCK, N. D.-While Senator. Hans
brough obtained some campaign prestige by
carrying Ramsey county over the opposition
Of Judge Cowan, 1t is asserted by his OPP
ponents that the results OF legislative eau
cuses up to the present time are not TOP IA
vorable to the senator. Benson county. in
the senator's district, is put in the list OF
counties that have gone against him, as well
as Ward county. Thus it is said he has
gained only one county in his own district
and lost two.
OF the slope counties that have held con-
ventions, Morton has. named legislative
ticket which seems to be in doubt. The
ticket is headed by Fl. G. Voss, formerly
states attorney Of the county. Editor Tut
tie Of Mandan was controlling factor in the
! Morton county convention. and he is for
Hansbrough, leading to the impression that
the Morton county delegation will be for
Hansbrough also. On the other hand, several
of the influential republicans Of Morton county
are for Little for the senate, and report has
| it that the Morton county delegation may be
for Little.
Burleigh's delegation will be for Little for
senator, against Hansbrough, according to in
dications, and Stark, having turned down
McGilliyray, who was for Hansbrough and
against Little, is also claimed for the Mis-

probably nominate Hansbrough delegation.

Governor White feels pretty certain Of re-
| nomination, believing that he will have al
most the solid support OF the Missouri slope

ventions that have been held SO far the gov

belief that he is to be the man who VIII
break tho one-term hoodoo. With the Mis-
souri, slope and the fifth district and the
support of one or two Of the big valley coun-

| strength that will give him big advantage.
The administration seems to be standing
pretty well together in the fight tor the IN

Superintendent Devine did not carry his Own
county. It is not believed that Blackwell
will get the nomination for attorney general.

Some Show for Libby.
| It seems to be pretty generally eonceded
| that Attorney General Comstock will fall

nomination. There are plenty OF applicanAs
for his place, including Libby OF Walsh.

The politically wise are wondering who VIII

forces at the coming convention. At the
convention Two years ago Judge Cowan OF
Devils Lake and A. G. McGilliyray OF Stark
county were the leading lights in the dis

ton. Both of these have been left OUT
side of the big tent in their county conven-
lions, and there is a place for a new Moses.
