NORTH DAKOTA
WHEN M,cuMnER's TURN COMES
Things VIII Be Doing Among "FIeId"


Candidates TWO Years Hence.
BISMARCK, N. D.--Now that Senator
Hansbrough has won the victory, politt-
clans who are eager for a scrap are pre-
dieting that Senator McCunaber will not
find the sailing SO smooth when he Is a
candidate for reelection two years from
now. Judge Lauder, SO says one rumor,
may decide to enter the race for the state
senate in Richland county to put few
stumbling blocks in the way of his old
political enemy. There Is already one
hold over democratic senator from Rich
Land, and the majority of the house mem
-bers are democratic.
There are no signs Of abatement OF the
contest between Lauder and McCumber,
and the judge is resourceful and sue
cessful politician. Max Wipperman, the
two-year term man, and the republicans
at the next election may pit Representa-
tive Movius against him, in an endeavor
to win back the district. It is doubtful
If McCumber will have with him the solid
forces that have backed .Hansbrough in
the present contest. The candidates De-
feated now will return to the fray two
years hence with whetted appetites, and
with the experience of the present fight
to guide them against the dangers OF dis
organization. 81, =. -
Some charges of bad faith in the speak
ership contest are being INDUCED In, and
| it Is stated that some Of YOung's county
delegations were pulled off and swithced

Young's supporters doubtless feel that
their confidence has ben misused, al
though Young himself expresses his salts
faction with the result and is not hold
ing any grudges. The Stutsman county
1 delegation, which was originally supposed
to be for Young, was subjected to V1gor-
Gus electioneering by Hansbrough men
! with the result that it finally landed or
the Baker wagon The Stutsman county
i people are, Of course, interested in the
management OF the state insane asylum
I for which a board of trustees is to be ap'
! pointed, and whether the result OF thu
i speakership fight will affect the appoint
ments there is q source of speculation
f. Not much has been heard of proposed
legislation yet. There. are plenty Q
measures incubating, but legislation ha
taken secondary place to the senatorial
}, contest, the speakership, and the findin!
